Returns to Petco Stores

Your local Petco store will gladly accept returns of merchandise purchased through petco .com within 45 days of the initial shipment date.

Before returning merchandise to a Petco store, print a "Returns to Store Receipt." (Please note that the packing slip that came with your shipment(s) cannot be used for a return to a Petco store, as it does not contain pricing information.)

  1. Log in to My Account.
  2. Under "Order History," select the specific order you wish to return.
  3. Click on "Print a Returns to Store Receipt."
  4. Print the "Returns to Store Receipt" page.

The "Returns to Store Receipt" may also be accessed by visiting petco.com/storereceipt. Please have your order information available as you will be prompted to enter your order number, the Billing Address last name, and the Shipping Address ZIP Code.

No shipping charges will be refunded at the store. Please email us or call toll free 1-877-738-6742 to obtain applicable shipping credit. Have the credit receipt handy.

Exchanges can be made at any store. If exchanging for a different item, you will receive credit for the amount paid as listed on your "Returns to Store Receipt." If you received an incorrect item from petco.com, you must return the item to petco.com for proper credit. Personalized products cannot be returned to a Petco store. Returns made after 45 days will be issued as store credit.
