Unleashed by Petco's Run Ends: Wilshire Boulevard Location Closing March 2

SANTA MONICA, CA - Local pet owners will soon need to find a new spot for their furry friends' supplies, as Unleashed by Petco, located near the intersection of 15th Street and Wilshire Boulevard, is set to close its doors on March 2, 2026.

According to a sign posted in the store's door, the location at 1402 Wilshire Blvd. is wrapping up operations at the beginning of March. The notice directs customers to the nearby full-service Petco store at 2910 Wilshire Blvd. for continued shopping needs.

Unleashed by Petco is a smaller-format pet supply store specializing in curated dog and cat food, treats, accessories, and positive reinforcement training services. The Santa Monica branch has served the community with hours typically from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily.

This closure aligns with broader trends reported in pet retail, where some Unleashed locations have been shuttered or consolidated in recent years, often due to business performance or strategic shifts by parent company Petco.

Customers looking for alternatives can head to the Petco at 2910 Wilshire Blvd., which offers a wider range of services including full-service grooming, vaccination clinics, and an expanded selection of pet products.
