With more than two-thirds of U.S. households owning a pet, this addition makes Shipt’s personalized same-day delivery experience accessible to millions of pet families. With a service "that now stretches from the dinner table to the dog bowl ... we see that as a win-win.''
Pet owners in more than 200 markets will be able to get pet food and other supplies from roughly 1,300 Petco stores, an offering that could benefit almost 70 million households, Shipt says.
Though Target owns the online delivery company, customers still need to specifically subscribe to the Shipt service. Those who sign up prior to April 18, will get the $99 annual fee reduced to $49.
Members can place and pay for an order within the Shipt app, selecting a one-hour window in which it will be delivered that day. Then, its network of over 100,000 shoppers will pick up, pack, and drop off the purchases.
One thing to note, particularly for the fresh, homemade and natural options - while these are pricier, you don’t necessarily have to switch your food 100% to that option as some suggest. Some dogs continue to eat a half portion of their traditional dried dog food (the crunching of which can help rid teeth of plaque) mixed with half a portion of fresh dog food so they get the benefits of both.
