Petco Curbside Pickup: Ditch the Leash, Not the Treats!
Let's face it, shopping with a bouncy, leash-pulling Labrador isn't exactly a walk in the park (unless that walk involves treats, then it's a delightful meander). Petco's curbside pickup is here to be your knight in shining armor (or should we say, knight in fetching frisbee?) and save you the hassle.
How it Works: Shopping From Your PJs (But Maybe Put on Pants When You Pick Up)
- Shop Like a Boss (From the Couch): Browse the Petco website or app for all your pet's needs. Look for the magical words "Free Pickup Today" to make sure your goodies are ready for a speedy exit.
- Select "I'll Pick It Up" and Snag Savings!: This isn't just about convenience, my friend! You'll also score 10% off orders over $50 when you choose curbside pickup. That's more moolah for fancy catnip or that squeaky toy your dog will inevitably destroy in 2.5 seconds.
- Get the Green Light (Well, Email): Once your order is prepped and ready for pick up, you'll receive a triumphant email from Petco. This email will contain a special number to use when you arrive for your curbside service.
The Grand Pickup: Channeling Your Inner NASCAR Driver (Minus the Speeding)
- Park Like a Pro (-ish): Most Petco locations have designated curbside pickup spots. Look for signage or hit up the store locator on the app to find them. If all the designated spots are taken, don't fret! Circle around the parking lot like a shark searching for prey (okay, maybe more like a goldfish looking for flakes) until a spot opens up.
- Give Them the Signal (But Not the Bat-Signal): Bold Park your car and dial the magical number provided in your pick-up email. A friendly Petco employee will be notified and become your personal pit crew, bringing your pet supplies directly to your car.
- Treat Time!: Now that you've successfully completed your curbside pickup mission, shower your furry friend with the spoils of war (treats, not your shopping bags). They'll have no idea you just saved yourself a shopping trip meltdown, but you'll be basking in the warm glow of victory (and maybe a little drool from your dog).
Pro Tip: If you have a particularly large order, or it includes bulky items like bags of food, mentioning it in your pick-up call can't hurt. That way, the Petco employee can be prepared and bring a buddy to help load you up.

Easy peasy! Just use the store locator on the Petco website or app. It will show you which locations offer curbside service.
How long does it take for my order to be ready for curbside pickup?
