    I have been ordering from 1-800-PetMeds for a long time. I let my friend know about their sales but she said she had trouble getting her order. I ordered three items March 26, 2026. I got emails that two out of the three items were out of stock. I never did get the Friskies Pate even though I got three emails: June 5: "Your pick is still available," with a photo of the Friskies Pate, June 7: "One last look: This is your final reminder for the item you viewed," with a photo of the Friskies Pate. I wrote to customer service three times. The first time she wrote that the Shreds were still out of stock. That is an item I already got. Then, "Sorry the item is out of stock." I can cancel if I want to. No answer to last email. My bank has two identical charges for the item pending but no info on when they are shipping it.

    I’ve been dealing with Petmeds for years. I recently placed an order for heart guard for my dog and it has not even been shipped out after 2 1/2 weeks. I sent in a prescription and had them call my vet and yet they still haven’t sent out the prescription. Customer service is a joke. I will never deal with them again.

      I purchased prescription dog food and treats. After a month my dog would no longer eat the food. I emailed that I wanted to return the products (unopened) for a refund. They replied that they couldn't take the product back but would refund my last purchase. Dissatisfied with the reply I called and talked to "Don" he said not a problem we will issue a refund for all of your left over product. That was three days ago and I've yet to see any additional refunds beyond the last purchase. Their refund guide is so convoluted they can justify not refunding for anything or refunding for anything. When you reach out for additional help you are looking for additional help not new lies.

      Really incredibly disappointed in the customer service (nonexistent) as well as the dishonesty and slow soeed of shipping. I ordered on 1/17 and got an email saying my order was received, then I got another on 1/19 that it was shipped. As of 1/21 usps was showing label was created but product never received, so I went back to my account to double check the records and despite having emailed me that my order was placed 1/17, online it now showed 1/18 and it said it had been shipped on 1/20…. Even though they emailed me on 1/19 that they’d already done that and on neither 1/19 or 1/20 had it actually been shipped.

      I tried to chat with customer service but their chat was down and said to call or text for quick response. I texted twice and never got a reply so I called and held for 40 minutes before giving up. It now says delivery ETA 1/26- NINE days after I placed the order. My dog was prescribed the food I ordered for an acute illness meaning he needs treatment NOW not 9 days later. Chewy, Amazon, PetSmart and Petco all delivery within 3-5 days of order placement after verifying the rx with the vet, so there is no good reason at all whatsoever for myself or anyone on earth to use 1800petmeds for acute or urgent needs.

      Hello Kelli, We are sorry that this happened. We do show an order placed on 1/17/26 and the approval request was sent to the vet within 30 minutes of the order being placed but it was a Saturday. We received the approval on 1/20/26. This food ships directly from a vendor so it shipped 1/20/26 delivering on 1/26/26. USPS is dealing with delays due to severe weather as posted on their website. PetMeds is not responsible for delays once it leaves our facility.

      Warmest Regards,

      I decided to order from 1800 PetMeds for my dog’s low fat food because of his pancreatitis. I will never order anything from this company again! After calling five different times and speaking with numerous team members and two managers I have gotten nothing but the run around as to why my order hadn’t shipped. This is terrible considering my dog needed this food. I was lied to and promised that the food would be delivered the next day which never happened. I ended up canceling the order. Do better petmeds!! There are many better company’s to use and I’m sorry I chose this one as a new customer.

      I'd like to give a HUGE shout-out to 1-800-PetMeds for what they did for me! I had just refilled my dog's arthritis medicine for $115 when he passed away last weekend. I hadn't opened the bottle yet, so on a whim, I called 1800PetMeds to see if they would take it back. They said that they couldn't, since it was a prescription, but they'd still refund me the full price since my pet died! WHO DOES THAT??? What incredible customer service, and so greatly appreciated! A Class A company that genuinely cares about its clients.❤️

      Very disappointed in PetMeds. I placed an order on June 27, 2025, tracked the status for days and the site continuously stated they were contacting vet for approval. I contacted our vet who stated they put the Rx through. When I called PetMeds, I was put on hold for at least 1/2 an hour before I gave up. When I used the "Chat" option, it replied no one was available due to after hours. Wrong - the chat was taking place during their business hours. When I attempted to reach them by email, they did not respond. I wound up cancelling my order. This was my first and last experience with PetMeds.

      I ordered a 12-month supply of Simparica Trio for my golden retriever. I have been a customer for years. It seems like every time there is a bit of an issue with the script being received and approved by the right veterinarian. We had two dogs in their files, both passed away a couple of years apart. I notified PetMeds. When we got our puppy Golden in Manhattan 3 years ago I purchased Simparica from them, noticed that the previous dogs were still listed with wrong veterinary addresses and gave them all the info for the new puppy Golden, apparently to no avail because at the beginning of June I ordered the 12-month supply to the address in California where we live now and gave them the approving veterinarian's info in Portland, name, number, address, everything they needed. They sent the script to a veterinarian in Irvine. Never lived there, never asked for the meds to be sent there.

      It took several mails from me and from the veterinarian in Portland for the script to finally get to her and the meds to me. It was a one month ordeal. They even had the nerves to tell my vet's clinic in Portland that she was not responding when she never received the script in the first place. In the end, they don't manufacture the meds so there is no reason to be overly thankful for them mailing it to us when they mess up over and over and over again with the paperwork and do not own their mistakes.

      What pushed me to write this negative review on this site it is because, icing on the cake, when I politely and respectfully expressed my opinion on the review they asked to write, they replied to me that my review did not meet their standards. Tell me then, what is the point to ask your customers to write a review only if you published the positive ones, they made me waste my time. Reviews are to be helpful to them and to us, it should make their business better. A review is not a mean to glory.

      I have a 15-year-old dog that depends on Adaquan (prescription). Diana (1st tier call center) quickly responded to the emergency call that I made directly to PetMeds to sort out the problem, and escalated the situation immediately to Paul (Supervisor). Paul immediately reached out to the Vet clinic and sorted out the problem and entered the order.

      PetMeds, was exemplary after my beloved dog passed away. Iris was very compassionate and was very kind. She gave me a refund for the unopened medicine and even gave me a refund for the open medicine after I counted out the pills. I felt that was such a class act and went above and beyond customer service. She also deleted my autoship and removed my credit card payment. Again I was very happy with the customer service and will be recommending everyone to order from PetMeds.

      1800 PetMeds is very inconsistent with refilling my dog's Apoquel. He has horrible allergies were if he even misses his next dose within hours he will be biting and scratching like crazy and by the end of the day he's bleeding from constant irritation. I've had multiple calls with 1800 Pet Meds about the website not being accurate about shipping times and not being prompted in letting me know if they need the vet to give permission for refills. They also don't contact my vet when they are supposed to, to refill on time.

      I spoke with an amazing agent on 4/20/2024 who overnighted my dog's meds and pushed the order through 'cause it was in a "in progress" loop plus the agent before her told me before the weekend the medication was going out that day and I asked her if she was sure and she said yes. Even with having additional Apoquel just for this case I still ran out and my dog has been off of the medication for 2 days now and as you can imagine isn't doing well.
