Petco acquired PupBox, a San Diego-based subscription service that ships monthly boxes of developmentally appropriate products to new puppy and dog parents. Each box is tailored to the pet's age and physical stage and pairs toys, treats, grooming tools and accessories with a training guide keyed to the puppy's changing needs. PupBox had been featured on Shark Tank before the deal. Co-founders Ben and Ariel Zvaifler and the wider PupBox team joined Petco as part of the transaction.
Combining Petco's breadth of product and services offerings with PupBox's highly customized monthly subscription service takes the guess work away from pet parents and provides everything they need to raise a healthy, happy pup at every stage of life.Brad Weston — CEO, Petco

Petco acquired PetCoach, a digital services company whose website and app connect pet owners with experienced veterinary professionals for personalized advice on their pets' health and well-being. The platform combined convenient access, data and expert guidance for pet parents. As part of the deal, PetCoach co-founder and CEO Brock Weatherup joined Petco as Executive Vice President of Strategic Innovation and Digital Experience, tasked with driving the retailer's digital and innovation initiatives. Petco later extended the PetCoach brand into a physical store concept.
As we continue evolving our value proposition – helping pet owners wherever and however they want to improve the health and well-being of their pet -- we believe that an entrepreneurial and digital leader of Brock's caliber will help Petco exceed the ever-changing digital expectations of the modern pet parent.Brad Weston — CEO, Petco
