Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc. is a category-defining health and wellness company that focuses on improving the lives of pets, pet parents, and its own Petco partners. Founded in 1965, Petco has established itself as a leader in the pet retail industry by operating more than 1,500 locations across the United States, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. The company also provides veterinary services through a growing network of in-store clinics, emphasizing the importance of pet health and wellness as part of their overall retail strategy.

At the core of Petco's mission is enhancing the bond between pets and their owners. This is achieved through a wide range of products, services, and community-driven initiatives that support animal welfare. For instance, Petco Love, a non-profit organization founded in 1999 as the Petco Foundation, has invested nearly $375 million in animal welfare initiatives and has helped find homes for over 7 million animals through adoption events. In addition to pet adoptions, Petco actively provides various wellness solutions through their offerings, promoting a holistic approach to pet care that includes nutrition, enrichment, and health services.
