Petco Rebranding
Petco Rebranding
Petco, founded in 1965 in San Diego, started as a mail order business providing veterinary supplies before shifting to retail in 1979. This move led to its expansion across the U.S. offering a variety of pet supplies. By the 1990s, Petco became a prominent player in the pet industry and launched its "Think Adoption First" initiative to promote pet adoption. In the 2000s, it embraced e-commerce and expanded services like grooming, training, and veterinary care.

Currently Petco design is cold, serious and fails to establish a connection between pets and consumers. In re-branding we aim to design a visual identity that is modern, welcoming and approachable.
