Expanded digital offerings to deliver enhanced
convenience, accessibility and value for pet parents
SAN
DIEGO, Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Petco Health
and Wellness Company, Inc. (Nasdaq: WOOF) today announced an
expanded partnership with DoorDash – one of its existing
fulfillment partners – to make Petco's assortment of products
available nationally via the DoorDash Marketplace. Through the
DoorDash mobile app and website, pet parents will have greater
access to Petco's curated selection of products supporting pets'
whole health for on-demand delivery.
Petco has also unveiled updates within the Petco app, including
a streamlined profile for pets' wellness needs. The pet profile
gives pet parents a centralized, easy way to stay up to date on
everything they need to care for their pets — including nutrition,
vaccinations, and grooming appointment reminders. Additionally,
Petco now offers Klarna's interest-free "Pay in 4" solution for
purchases made within the Petco app. Already available on
petco.com, across Petco's more than 1,500 pet care centers
nationwide, and in the Klarna app since August 2021, Klarna's payment option provides pet
parents with more financial flexibility, in turn helping them
prioritize their pets' health and wellness.
"Our expanded partnership with DoorDash makes Petco's
differentiated assortment of health and wellness products
accessible to even more pet parents across the country," said
Darren MacDonald, Chief Customer
Officer at Petco. "Combined with new enhancements to the Petco app,
we're continuing to meet the unique needs of pets and pet parents
in a way that no one else can."
More than 10,000 products from Petco are now available on
DoorDash Marketplace, including food, treats, beds, bowls, toys and
other supplies for a variety of pets such as dogs, cats, small
animals, fish, reptiles and birds. In honor of National Dog Day on
August 26, DoorDash will offer 50%
off customers' Petco order of $25 or
more (up to $20) within the DoorDash
mobile app or website from August 21 to
August 27, 2023.*
"98% of DoorDash consumers in the U.S. have access to retail or
grocery stores on our platform. The future of commerce is on-demand
and local as consumers want faster and easier ways to get the items
they need delivered to them right now," said Fuad Hannon, VP of New Verticals at DoorDash.
"Whether it's the dog food you forgot to grab while out or a treat
or toy, consumers now have convenient on-demand access to pets'
whole health needs. Our partnership helps Petco meet consumers
where they are and further fulfills DoorDash's mission to grow and
empower local economies."

where and when they want to shop, including buy
online, pick-up in store; curbside pick-up; same-day delivery;
