Program terms change frequently. Every record shows a verification status and links to the official program page — always confirm commission, cookie and eligibility with the merchant before you build content around them. Records marked as unverified sample data are placeholders for testing this directory and must not be treated as fact.
Overview
Petco's differentiator for affiliates is the services layer — grooming, training classes and in-store vet care give you content angles that a pure e-commerce program cannot support. Useful as a second merchant alongside Chewy so you are not single-sourced on one retailer's approval decision.
