/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PETCO Animal Supplies, Inc.
(NASDAQ:PETCE) today announced that it received notice from The
Nasdaq Stock Market that the Company has evidenced compliance with
all requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq National
Market and that effective at the market open on Friday, July 1,
2005, the Company's trading symbol will be restored to "PETC". The
Company had previously announced that it received notices of
potential delisting due to the Company's failure to file its fiscal
2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2004 Form 10-K") and its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2005

the 2004 Form 10-K and the First Quarter 10-Q and is now current
with respect to its required Securities and Exchange Commission
filings. Accordingly, Nasdaq has determined that the hearing
scheduled for June 30, 2005 is unnecessary and the hearing file has
been closed. About PETCO Animal Supplies, Inc. PETCO is a leading
