Day 8 of training 2 comments The following post comes from PETCO associate Marino Sanchez, who works in the Ethics and Compliance Department. When I was 13, my family and I moved from Mexico City, where I was born and raised, to South Carolina. To say that I experienced culture shock would be an understatement. In our new, small town, there were no “English as a Second Language” programs available to me, no bi-lingual services or information posted anywhere and not one classmate to But on my 14th birthday, my parents gave me a beautiful Siberian Husky we named Kaiser. My family believed that pets made excellent companions, since race, religion or language doesn’t matter to them. And they were right. Kaiser was exactly what I needed to cope with the culture shock and the loneliness of being a shy teenager living in a foreign environment. He would cuddle with me, run with me and have my back unconditionally. We played together all the time. When I was feeling sad or upset, I could vent to him about my frustrations with my family or with my schoolwork. He would tilt his head and listen to me, or lick my hand as if he truly understood what I was saying and how I was feeling. The never-failing loyalty he blessed me with helped me adjust and cope to my new life in South Carolina because I knew that no matter how my day went, I would be coming home to my best friend. This past week, PETCO announced that it will exclusively provide 25 of its most popular animal care sheets in Spanish – an announcement that makes me extremely happy and proud. There are so Continue reading » 2 comments  Natural Neighborhood Fesitval - photo by Angela from the PETCO store in Lakewood, Calif. 11 comments I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I get to do some pretty cool stuff working for PETCO. And this weekend was a perfect example. I had the privilege of attending BlogPaws – the first ever pet bloggers’ conference in Columbus, Ohio.
 @CosmoHavanese, a dog who tweets! Not only did I get to meet a bunch of pets who blog, tweet and socialize on Facebook (yes, you read that right), but I left with an overwhelming feeling of pride in our company, the online pet community and an excitement for the future of social media – both for PETCO and for the animals we all love. Our Director of Social Media & Commerce, Natalie Malaszenko, was invited to Continue reading » 3 comments Hi! My name is Darcy, but feel free to refer to me as “Darcy of the derby” — the Hamster Ball Derby that is! I am My pet parent Wendy just brought me home a 7” red run-about ball, (red is the color of winners after all) and a Hamtrac so that I can begin my Derby training. I will be watching what I eat nutritionally; only the best food and treats for this hamster! I will be sure to obtain plenty of sleep during the day, and then run mile after mile throughout the night. Wendy always makes sure I have an abundance of clean, fresh water. After a month of training and health food, I am sure that Wendy will reward me with lots of love and attention and possibly even a paw-dicure! Training journal One comment  A Doggie Yoga Pose Grass in a parking lot? Yup. I thought it was a little weird, but the dogs loved it. You could see it in their faces when they entered through the gate at the PETCO Natural Neighborhood Festival in Santa Monica, CA. “Concrete, concrete, concrete, concrete, concrete, concr… whoa… GRASS!!! Woo Hoo! ” Check out all the pictures below. Featured at the event were information stations for dog nutrition, dog training, and grooming; an adoption booth and doggie activity/obstacle course from the Heigl Foundation; a doggie massage station; partner booths from PETCO natural food vendors Solid Gold, Wellness, Natural Balance, Blue Buffalo, and Halo; talks from Dr. Marty Becker and Tracy Hotchner, skateboarding antics from Tillman and Friends; and (my favorite part) doggie yoga with Amy Stevens. Yes, doggie yoga is a real thing. And no, I didn’t believe it until I saw it for myself. You’ll have to believe me when I say Continue reading » One comment | Tags: dog, holistic, natural, organic, pet food, tillman, yoga | Category: Events, Pet Products
