About Petco
We are proud to be "where the pets go" and where the pet people go. For more than 60 years, we have been the place where pets find everything they need to live their best lives—from favorite meals and toys to trusted supplies and expert support from people who truly get it because we live it.

In 1999, we founded Petco Love, supporting thousands of local animal welfare groups and helping find homes for approximately 7 million animals through in-store adoption events.

- Pet First – Protect & Empower: We put the needs of pets and pet parents at the center of everything we do.
