The only change to the Petco return policy during COVID-19 is the extended 80-day return deadline. Depending on your method of payment, the company will refund you with cash, a corporate check, or a gift card.

If you return your item without a receipt or after the 80-day deadline, Petco won’t refund you with money. The company will provide you with in-store credit instead, which you can spend on their merchandise.

How To Return Your Products to Petco During COVID-19

You can return your item to any of the 1,500 Petco shop locations. As per the standard return policy, Petco requires you to have one of the following proofs of purchase:

  • Store return receipt
  • Purchase confirmation email

To return the item in person, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Petco website and use their Pet Store Locator
  2. Visit your nearest store
  3. Show an employee the receipt or the confirmation email along with your ID

You can also return the products you’ve bought in-store or online by shipping them by:

  1. Finding your item’s original container
