Petco, Petsmart? No, Care Credit can be used at some veterinary offices and physicians' offices. It is strictly for medical and vet care.

What credit score do you need for CareCredit for pets? ›

If your credit score is 640 or better, you will likely qualify for CareCredit. You can apply for the CareCredit card in person in the veterinary office when you drop off or pick up your dog. However, if you are able to pre-qualify before you get to the office, it will save you a lot of time and anxiety.

That typically means a credit score of between 600 and 850. Translation: if you have a good credit rating, you'll likely be approved. If you have fair or bad credit, your chances of approval will be low.

Petco does not discriminate.

The ideal time to pick the puppy will be after 7 weeks of age. Puppies go through many mental growth changes and one of them is around 7 weeks of age. At that time some of their personalities can change a little bit while other personalities change a lot.

Be prepared to walk away if things don't seem right, and never buy a puppy if you suspect it comes from a puppy farm. Make sure the puppies appear healthy and happy. They should be alert, have a shiny coat, be free from any discharge around their mouths, noses, eyes, ears and bottoms, and have a healthy weight.
