Introduction

This Amendment No. 4 to Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this “Schedule 13E-3”) is being filed by (1) PETCO Animal Supplies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PETCO” or the “Company”), the issuer of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction, (2) Green Equity Investors IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“GEI IV”), (3) GEI Capital IV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GEI Capital”), (4) TPG Partners V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TPG V”), (5) TPG Advisors V, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TPG Advisors”), (6) Rover Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and (7) John G. Danhakl, an individual (each, a “Filing Person” and, collectively, the “Filing Persons”). This Schedule 13E-3 relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 13, 2006, by and among PETCO, Buyer and Rover Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and former wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”).

This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) to report the results of the transaction that is the subject of this Schedule 13E-3.

All information contained in this Statement concerning any of the Filing Persons has been provided by such Filing Person and no other Filing Person, including the Company, takes responsibility for the accuracy of any information not supplied by such Filing Person.

The filing of this Statement shall not be construed as an admission by any Filing Person or by any affiliate of a Filing Person, that the Company is “controlled” by any other Filing Person, or that any other Filing Person is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 under Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act.

Item 15. Additional Information

Regulation M-A Item 1011

Item 15(b) is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On October 23, 2006, at the special meeting of the stockholders of PETCO, PETCO’s stockholders voted to approve the Merger Agreement.

On October 26, 2006, immediately prior to Merger Sub merging with and into PETCO, with PETCO continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), the following directors and officers of PETCO contributed to Buyer the number of shares of common stock of PETCO set forth after their respective names: Brian K. Devine, 241,380 shares; James M. Myers, 137,932 shares; Bruce C. Hall, 44,138 shares; Janet D. Mitchell, 11,035 shares; William M. Woodward, 11,035 shares; and Razia Richter, 24,776 shares. Such contribution of these 470,296 shares, which represented less than 1% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of PETCO at the time of such contribution, was made in exchange for equity interests in Buyer. As a result of such exchange, such directors and officers owned less than 2% in the aggregate of Buyer immediately prior to the Merger (inclusive of the contributions to Buyer by GEI IV, TPG V and their respective assigns for $750.0 million) and such contributed shares were not converted into the right to receive $29.00 in cash, without interest, per share upon the Merger.

On October 26, 2006, PETCO filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which the Merger became effective. Upon the Merger: (i) each outstanding share of common stock of PETCO (other than shares held by PETCO, any of PETCO’s subsidiaries, Buyer, or Merger Sub or shares held by stockholders who properly exercised appraisal rights) was automatically converted into the right to receive $29.00 in cash, without interest; (ii) PETCO became a wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer; and (iii) the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased.

As a result of the Merger, PETCO common stock ceased to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) as of the close of trading on October 26, 2006 and became eligible for delisting from Nasdaq and termination of registration pursuant to Rules 12g-4 and 12h-3. Accordingly, on October 26, 2006, PETCO filed a Certification and Notice of Termination on Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
