Operation: Ditching the Vet (Without Getting Scratched)
So, your furry friend decided a strategically placed hairball was a better use of your morning than that pesky vet appointment? Hey, it happens to the best of us (pets, that is). But before you picture grumpy receptionists and the disappointment in your dog's eyes (because let's be honest, they can totally judge), here's a guide to cancelling your Petco vet appointment like a pro.
Calling in the Cavalry (or Just Calling)
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
-
Phone a Friend (Who Works at Petco): If you're on a first-name basis with the lovely folks at your local Petco, this might be your quickest route. A friendly phone call explaining your predicament (hairball incident highly encouraged) should do the trick. Bonus points for a dramatic reenactment of the hairball evacuation process (your pet will love you for it... maybe).
-
Dial Those Digits: For the less social butterfly, there's always the good old-fashioned phone call. Look up the number for your specific Petco location (because hey, not all heroes wear capes, but some do answer phones). Be prepared with your appointment details (pet's name, appointment time) for a smooth cancellation.

For the tech-savvy pet parent, here's your battleground:
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
- My Account (assuming you have one): If you've booked your appointment online, there's a good chance you can cancel it there too. Log in to your Petco account (or create one if you haven't already) and see if there's a cancellation option.
Tip: Reading in short bursts can keep focus high.
