Founded in 1965, Petco has been setting new standards in pet care through its comprehensive range of wellness solutions including products, services, and community initiatives that enhance the bond between pets and their parents.

Operating more than 1,500 locations across the U.S., Mexico, and Puerto Rico, Petco offers a wide array of pet care products including food, treats, and supplies. Beyond retail, Petco has established a significant online presence via its website and mobile app, providing pet parents with a convenient, one-stop resource for pet health and wellness.

A key component of Petco’s service offering is its growing network of over 100 in-store veterinary hospitals. These facilities, combined with mobile veterinary clinics, provide an extensive range of medical services that address the diverse needs of pets. In partnership with Petco Love (formerly known as the Petco Foundation), an independent nonprofit, Petco supports thousands of animal welfare groups nationwide and has facilitated the adoption of over 6.5 million animals through in-store events.

In recent financial updates, Petco reported a net revenue of $1.53 billion for the second quarter of 2023, marking a 3.4% increase from the previous year, primarily driven by a robust performance in consumables and services. Despite facing challenges in its supplies and companion animal business, Petco continues to focus on strategic initiatives aimed at cost savings and productivity enhancements, targeting $150 million in savings by the end of fiscal 2025.

Petco has also introduced a new holiday collection, aptly named Merry Makings, featuring over 500 products designed to integrate pets into family holiday celebrations. Additionally, the company has strengthened its insurance offerings through a partnership with Nationwide, providing customizable pet health insurance plans that cater to the specific needs of pet parents.

In leadership developments, Mike Mohan was appointed Interim CEO in March 2024, succeeding Ron Coughlin. Mohan brings a wealth of retail experience and a strategic vision aimed at driving profitability and operational excellence.

As Petco navigates through these dynamic times, the company remains committed to its mission of enhancing pet wellness and deepening the pet-pet parent bond, ensuring holistic care for pets at every life stage.
