Uber Eats Partners with Petco for Nationwide Pet Supply Delivery

Uber Eats Expands Retail Offerings with Nationwide Petco Partnership

Uber Technologies, Inc. and Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc. have announced a strategic partnership that integrates Petco’s extensive range of pet supplies into the Uber Eats platform. This collaboration enables pet owners across the contiguous United States to access on-demand and scheduled delivery of pet essentials, including food, toys, and accessories, through a seamless digital experience.

This development is part of Uber Eats’ broader expansion into retail and grocery delivery services. By adding Petco’s catalog to its platform, Uber Eats aims to strengthen its position as a comprehensive delivery service catering to everyday consumer needs beyond food and restaurant orders.

Steve Janowiak, Vice President of Digital at Petco, emphasized the growing connection between people and their pets:

"People are more connected and committed to their pets today than ever before. We’re thrilled to partner with Uber Eats and give pet parents another easy way to get the trusted food, treats, and supplies they need—right to their door and right when they need it."

This move marks a significant digital expansion for Petco, a company with over six decades of experience in pet care. The company currently operates more than 1,500 pet care centers across the United States, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, offering a variety of pet products and services, including veterinary care, grooming, and training.

Uber Eats' retail division continues to grow as it diversifies its offerings to include more than just food delivery. With this latest initiative, the platform now provides an expanded selection of household necessities, groceries, and pet care products. Hashim Amin, Uber’s Head of Retail in North America, highlighted the benefits of this partnership for pet owners:

"As the pet parent of two naughty cats and one playful German Shepherd, I’m thrilled to welcome Petco to Uber Eats and help make life easier for so many caregivers across the country. With Uber’s technology and nationwide delivery network, we’re making it more convenient than ever to get the quality pet products families count on delivered straight to your doorstep."

The integration of Petco into Uber Eats is expected to enhance the convenience of pet supply shopping, catering to consumers who prioritize accessibility and speed. Users can now browse and order Petco’s products via the Uber Eats app by navigating to the “Retail” or “Pet Supplies” section. The process includes real-time order tracking, providing customers with up-to-date delivery status information.

To celebrate the launch, Uber Eats is offering an introductory promotion, allowing new and existing users to receive 40% off orders of $50 or more, with a maximum discount of $30. Uber One members, as part of their subscription benefits, will also enjoy zero delivery fees on eligible purchases.

The collaboration also introduces exclusive Petco products to the Uber Eats platform. Among these are YOULY’s seasonal collections, featuring trendy pet clothing, accessories, and treats, along with the “Started as a Bottle” line, which is crafted from recycled materials. This aligns with Petco’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and high-quality pet care.

This expansion of Uber Eats’ services reflects a broader trend in the retail and delivery industry, where major platforms are diversifying their offerings to provide consumers with an all-encompassing digital marketplace. The rise of on-demand delivery for household essentials has been a growing market segment, with pet care being a significant contributor. According to industry reports, the global pet care market was valued at over $200 billion in 2023, with e-commerce and digital solutions driving substantial growth.

With consumer demand for convenience at an all-time high, Uber’s move into pet supply delivery could reinforce its status as a leading platform for daily necessities. This partnership not only benefits pet owners but also positions Uber Eats as a key player in the evolving landscape of digital retail and logistics.

”Uber’s move into the pet supply industry aligns with its long-term strategy of diversifying its delivery services beyond food. This partnership strengthens its foothold in the e-commerce sector while addressing the growing demand for pet care solutions."
