Petco Discount Codes & Deals

Petco wasn't always the pet megastore it is today. It was founded in San Diego in 1965 as a mail-order veterinary supply business called UPCO. After being rebranded in 1980 as Petco, the company opened the very first retail store in Tigard, Oregon, in 1988.

Over the last five decades, Petco has expanded to over 1,500 outlets in the U.S. Committed to improving the lives of pets and pet parents, Petco stocks its sprawling stores with pet food, toys, beds and more for cats, dogs and other pets. Petco also sells live fish and small animals like hamsters, chinchillas, guinea pigs and ferrets.

In addition, Petco stores have pharmacies where you can fill the prescription for your pet’s medication. Many Petco stores offer services like full-service dog grooming and dog training, as well as on-site pet hospitals and vaccination clinics. Certain locations also offer kittens for adoption and host pet adoption events, while others even have self-service dog wash stations.
