About Petco
We are proud to be "where the pets go" and where pet people go. For more than 60 years, we have helped pets live their best lives by providing everything they need, from favorite meals and toys to trusted supplies and expert support. We believe in the universal truths of pet parenthood—the boundless boops, missing slippers, late-night zoomies, and everything in between.
Today, we are a team of 29,000+ strong, nurturing the pet-human bond in over 1,500 Petco stores across the U.S., Mexico, and Puerto Rico, along with 250+ Vetco Total Care hospitals and eight distribution centers. 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.
Our core values guide our spirit: we put the needs of pets and pet parents at the center of everything we do, celebrate the journey of pet parenthood, and champion authenticity to drive success as one team.
