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 dedicated to improving lives by doing what's right for pets and people. Our mission is to help pets live their best lives, from their favorite meals and toys to trusted supplies and expert support from people who truly understand the bond.

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, alongside 250+ Vetco Total Care hospitals, hundreds of preventive care clinics, and eight distribution centers. Through our Petco Love initiative, founded in 1999, we support thousands of local animal welfare groups and have helped find homes for approximately 7 million animals.

Our core values guide our spirit:

• Pet First – Protect & Empower: We put the needs of pets and pet parents at the center of everything we do.
• Foster the Fun – Connect & Bond: Our passion for pets brings us together, celebrating the journey of pet parenthood.
• Let's Go! Own & Commit: We are stronger as one Petco team, championing authenticity to drive success.
