We’re proud to be where the pets go to find everything they need to live their best lives for more than 60 years — from meals and toys to trusted supplies and expert support from people who get it. We live the universal truths of pet parenthood and are here for every tail wag, every vet visit, every step of the way.

We are 29,000+ strong and operate in more than 1,500 Petco stores across the U.S., Mexico and Puerto Rico, 250+ Vetco Total Care hospitals, hundreds of preventive care clinics and eight distribution centers.
