Resumen del cargo
This is a legitimate charge from Petco.
What is the Petco charge?
A 'PETCO' charge indicates a purchase made at a Petco retail location, online at petco.com, or for veterinary services (Vetco).
Charges may appear with variations like 'PETCO COM', 'PETCO 1714', or a specific store location name.
Subscriptions and Holds
If you set up an 'Autoship' order for recurring pet food delivery, you will be automatically billed when the items ship.
Petco also offers recurring 'Premier' memberships (for grooming or wellness) that charge on a regular schedule.
- Step 1 Log into your account at petco.com to review your Order History and check for active Autoship or membership subscriptions.
- Step 2 Check your email for recent shipping confirmations. If the charge is completely unrecognized, contact your bank to report fraud.
What if the charge is 'pending'?
A small pending charge may appear to verify your card when you update payment information. It usually disappears after a few days.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
If you suspect this charge is fraudulent or billing in error, you have strict federal rights protecting your account.
Always review your statement carefully and take action within 60 days.
What should I do if I don't recognize this charge?
First, check with family members or anyone authorized on your account. If the charge remains unrecognized, contact your bank immediately to report it. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), you have 60 days from the statement date to dispute unauthorized credit card charges.
How long does it take for a disputed charge to be removed?
Once you file a dispute, your bank must acknowledge it within 30 days and resolve it within two billing cycles (not exceeding 90 days). During this time, the disputed amount is usually placed on a provisional hold, meaning you do not have to pay it.
