What a Petco gift card gets you
Beyond the petfood-and-toys aisle, a Petco gift card covers the services counter too: vet visits at Vetco and full-service hospitals, grooming, dog training classes, and the Petco app's online orders. It also spends at Unleashed by Petco neighborhood stores. Unlike a bank-issued Visa or Mastercard gift card, there are no activation or per-purchase fees, and the balance is never reduced by dormancy charges.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a card carrier. $10 to $200 per card via petco.com, or any whole-dollar amount at a Petco register.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemable online or scanned from your phone in store. $10 to $200 per card via petco.com; $10 to $200 via Dyme. Can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Pay.
You can apply multiple Petco gift cards to a single transaction in store or online, with no documented cap on how many.

Can I get a Petco gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Petco gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant paperless delivery, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:
- Costco or Sam's Club, in store. Periodic multi-pack discounts on physical Petco cards. Supply rotates and isn't always available. Physical only, club membership required.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold gift cards from third parties, typically a few percent below face value. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list cards with partial balances.
- Petco direct promotions. Occasional. Petco runs seasonal promotions, and Vital Care Rewards members sometimes get bonus-value gift-card offers, but the everyday card sells at face value.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Petco Vital Care Rewards at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single Petco gift card purchase through Dyme.
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses.
Free to join. Earns at redemption, not on the gift card purchase.
Vital Care Rewards does not earn on the gift card purchase. It earns on the merchandise and services when you redeem, at the same rate as paying with cash or credit. The premier paid tier adds free grooming and vet benefits. Program terms →
Earn 1 Mile for every dollar you spend, and 5 Miles per dollarduring special offers — the layer the other channels can't match.
Illustrative only. Card rates, brand-program terms, and Dyme Miles offers change and vary by member; figures above are examples, not a guarantee of value.

How to buy on petco.com
- Go to petco.com and open the gift cards page.
- Choose physical or e-gift, then pick a design and the amount.
- Add to cart and check out. Petco does not run a member discount on gift cards, and Vital Care Rewards points do not accrue on gift-card purchases.
How to buy in store
Any Petco or Unleashed by Petco register sells gift cards. Tell the associate the amount you want, pay with cash, credit, or another gift card, and walk out with the card. There's no minimum and you can load a wide range of whole-dollar amounts.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco and Sam's Club periodically run multi-pack Petco gift cards at a discount. Stock and pricing rotate. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, and Stop & Shop carry $25, $50, and $100 Petco cards at face value. You pay no discount but earn the supermarket's loyalty points and any fuel rewards that apply to gift-card purchases.
