Coronavirus/COVID-19 Update
To comply with federal mandates and protect the health of our employees, Petco requires all support center employees to be fully vaccinated or qualify for a medical or religious exemption.
We have taken several measures to follow federal, state, and local governing authorities' guidelines on infection control measures. We recently adjusted our operating model to reduce crowds and provide a more controlled clinic experience.
- We now offer appointments times to our guests that can be booked online in advance. No more long lines or crowds of customers waiting to be seen. Key instructions are communicated in advance and walk-ins are seen only if an appointment time is available.
- We have expanded clinic hours at fewer locations. Additional locations are being added to the schedule often as states and governments reduce restrictions.
- Vetco team members and doctors will wear PPE.
- Increased cleaning and sanitizing in all our stores.
- The Petco Partner Assistance Fund is in place to help our associates and encourage them to stay home if they are feeling ill without fear of reprisal.
