Petco is a leader in the health and wellness industry, committed to enhancing the quality of life for dogs, pet owners, and our own Petco partners.

Owner Claire O'Brien grew weary of making trips to buy Caitlin, her golden retriever, nutritious food. She decided to open up a pet store in Castleton with a vision of providing a retail store that delivers exceptional customer service, expert product knowledge, and good prices.

From an early age I have had pets of all kinds. I grew up hatching eggs, showing horses and working at the local humane society as well as many stables along the way. Over the course of a 12-year period, the rescue group I founded helped to save the lives of thousands of dogs and cats. I grew up with rough collies, a few wonderful mutts and a lab before acquiring my first bearded collie as an adult. Snuffy & Wally opened the door of competitive dog sports for me.
