Pet specialty retailer Petco Health and Wellness Company has expanded its on-demand delivery partnership with its existing fulfilment partner DoorDash.

The partnership will provide pet owners with access to a selection of products from Petco via the DoorDash mobile app and website.

The marketplace will offer more than 10,000 Petco products and other supplies for different kinds of pets including fish and reptiles.

In addition, the retailer has launched updates in the Petco app, which includes a streamlined profile for wellness requirements of pets.

The retailer also offers various convenient features including buy online, pick-up in store, kerbside pick-up, same-day delivery and Repeat Delivery.

Petco's same-day delivery and eligible Repeat Delivery orders are fulfilled through DoorDash.

Petco chief customer officer Darren MacDonald said: "Our expanded partnership with DoorDash makes Petco's differentiated assortment of health and wellness products accessible to even more pet parents across the country.

“Combined with new enhancements to the Petco app, we are continuing to meet the unique needs of pets and pet parents in a way that no one else can."

In a separate development, DoorDash Canada has partnered with Staples Canada to offer convenient on-demand delivery service for back-to-school and workplace essentials.

As part of the partnership, more than 38,000 back-to-school essentials are now available on the DoorDash app for on-demand delivery.

Items eligible on orders with DashPass will be delivered without any fee.

DoorDash Canada general manager Shilpa Arora said: “This year, DoorDash is proud to partner with Staples Canada to make back-to-school shopping easy, without missing a moment of summer fun. With convenient same-day delivery to your doorstep, DoorDash is your one-stop-shop for all of your back-to-school essentials.”

Earlier this year, DoorDash partnered with retailer Aldi to provide on-demand grocery deliveries in the US.
