Description:
PETCO is celebrating over 40 years of caring for your pets and providing a fun and challenging career environment!

In 1965, PETCO started its business in San Diego with the mission of buying quality pet and veterinary supplies and selling them to animal professionals and the public at discount prices. Now, four decades later, we're still providing premium pet products while giving our customers significant savings. Our name back then was UPCO, but we changed it to PETCO in 1979 and started bringing our unique stores to pet lovers nationwide.

Today, PETCO has over 900+ stores across the country, reaching many more pet parents and their best pals every day. A lot has changed since 1965, but our commitment to companion animals never has. “Animals always come first. Our people make it happen.”
