Petco Goes On-Demand on DoorDash, Expands App Features
Petco is bolstering accessibility and convenience for its shoppers by expanding its partnership with delivery platform DoorDash and launching new features within the Petco app.
On DoorDash, pet parents can now order products on-demand, giving them faster access to the retailer’s private label selection. More than 10,000 products from Petco are now available on DoorDash Marketplace, including food, treats, beds, bowls, toys and other supplies. In honor of National Dog Day on Aug. 26, DoorDash will offer 50% off customers' Petco orders of $25 or more (up to $20) within the DoorDash mobile app or website from Aug. 21-27.
"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."
On the Petco app, the retailer has introduced a streamlined profile for pets' wellness needs. The pet profile gives pet parents a simple 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 when buying the items their animal needs.
"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."
Petco operate more than 1,500 pet care centers across the U.S., Mexico and Puerto Rico.
