Petco is a category-defining health and wellness firm dedicated to helping pets, pet parents, and our own Petco partners live better lives.

My first dog was Simon. When he was only six months old, I rescued him from the pound. I didn't find out what was authorized to be in dog food until he was nine years old. I was taken aback and outraged. I discovered not only deceptive labels, hazardous chemical preservatives, and repulsive "ingredients," but also an industry that is completely unregulated. One with a lot of flaws.

Pets aren't just roommates. They're blood relatives. When we see our favorite wagging tail, we realize the indescribable, pure love we feel. We also understand the paralyzing fear of not seeing them when they don't return home. We exist to keep our families together. Sure, today's technology may be able to assist in this endeavor. But the truth is that the easiest and most successful approach to reunite us with our closest buddy is still a simple tag.
