The leading US pet retailer Petco has announced plans to more than double its count of full-service in-store veterinary hospitals by the end of this year. The retail company is adding three regional veterinary partners: Global Veterinary Partners (GVP), based in Weston (Florida), VitalPet, based in Houston (Texas) and VetnCare, based in Oakland (California).
In addition to these new partnerships, Petco is expanding operations with existing partners Thrive Affordable Vet Care and The Pet Vet. Those companies have partnered respectively with Petco since 2017 and 2009 to open the more than 50 veterinary hospitals within Petco stores in Texas, California, Colorado, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Utah, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri.
