Petco started in 1965 as a mail-order veterinary supply company called UPCO (United Pharmacal Company) in San Diego. The business shifted to a retail format in the 1980s, opened its first retail store under the Petco name in 1980, and grew through the 1990s into a national big-box pet specialty chain alongside competitor PetSmart. Petco went public in 2002, was taken private by a consortium of private equity firms in 2006, and went public again in 2021. The company has invested heavily in expanding services beyond retail — full-service veterinary hospitals, Vital Care wellness plans, grooming, training, and the Vetco vaccination clinics — to differentiate from online competitors like Chewy. Headquartered in San Diego, Petco operates more than 1,500 stores and the namesake e-commerce site, with the Pals Rewards program serving as the loyalty layer across in-store and online purchases.
Pals Rewards is the free loyalty program — members earn points redeemable as in-store rewards plus access to members-only pricing on rotating items. The Vital Care wellness plan, a paid subscription, bundles routine vet visits with retail discounts and works out for pet owners who do preventive care through the in-store hospitals. Repeat Delivery, Petco's autoship program, knocks a percentage off most consumables. The price-match policy applies to Chewy and Amazon prices on most items, which is essential because Petco's standard retail prices typically run higher than Chewy's. Stack a price-match with Repeat Delivery and a Pals Rewards points-multiplier weekend for the deepest available pricing. Returns run 30 days for most items with receipt; live aquatic animals carry a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. The grooming and training services run separate promotional calendars from retail.
Petco's biggest events are Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with sitewide percentage discounts plus stacked Repeat Delivery savings. The National Adopt-a-Pet Month in May produces strong starter-supply pricing tied to Petco's adoption events. The Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekends each anchor mid-tier sales. The post-Christmas clearance on holiday-themed pet items hits deep discounts in late December. The Pals Rewards points-multiplier events run several times a year with bonus points on rotating categories.
