Additionally, Petco now offers Klarna's interest-free "Pay in 4" solution for purchases made within the Petco app. Already available on petco.com, across Petco's more than 1,500 pet care centers nationwide, and in the Klarna app since August 2021, Klarna's payment option provides pet parents with more financial flexibility, in turn helping them prioritize their pets' health and wellness.
