PetSmart And DoorDash Team Up To Offer Same-Day Delivery

PetSmart and DoorDash are joining forces to offer on-demand, contactless and same-day delivery from more than 1,400 of the store’s locations across the U.S.

Starting later this week through September 20th, shoppers can place their orders for PetSmart deliveries for free through the retailer’s mobile app. PetSmart will then utilize DoorDash Drive, the delivery company’s fulfillment platform that enables direct transportation of items for businesses to execute the deliveries.

“We understand that our customers need many different shopping options during this time, so ensuring they can make those purchases however they need is important to us,” said Will Smith, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of PetSmart in a company press release. “We’re pleased to partner with DoorDash, together providing pet parents with an even more accessible shopping experience.”

This initiative adds to a growing list of offerings for DoorDash as the app recently partnered with 7-Eleven and Walgreens to offer on-demand delivery during the pandemic.

“The pandemic has pulled the future forward for retail, where changes that once might have taken three years have instead happened in three months,” said Casey North, Vice President of DoorDash Drive. “We’re thrilled to partner with PetSmart, marking our entry into the pet retail space, to power their store-to-door delivery experience and provide pet owners with the animal essentials they need on demand.”

Customers looking to utilize same-day delivery through PetSmart can do so for free through September 20, 2020. Customers can also expect PetSmart deliveries to be contactless, enabling the Dasher to leave the order in a safe, secure location which should be designated by the customer prior to delivering.
