    I would have given my experience with PetMeds a one star review however, after 3 or 4 times trying to address and fix my concern, I was finally was blessed with Miss Precious from Customer Service. This woman was patient, kind, friendly, knowledgeable and all the while very professional as she wove through the maize of presenting issues and solved my problem. She deserves a raise! Not only did Miss Precious solve my problem, but she gently educated me about order restriction policy, worked with her supervisor so that the discounts I thought I would receive came to pass, but apparently she also expedited the product delivery since it had taken so long for me to get my problem solved and my dog was past due for his medication. Thank-you Miss Precious! Because of you, I will continue to order from PetMeds.

    I am very disgusted because I have been a customer of PETMEDS for years. Usually every time they send a package, they send a dog bone. And even though they know I have two dogs, they only send one bone. This time I ordered the six pack of Nexguard for over $100 and they didn't even include a bone in the package. My dogs are real smart and they know when that package comes before I even open it, they know there is usually a bone inside. This time after spending all that money, they didn't even send a bone. My dogs were standing there looking confused as to where their bone was. Since they usually only send one I have to break it in half. Then they stopped sending the large bone and started sending a small bone. Then each month the price of the Nexguard is going up $10 or more. I'm going to start looking for another site to order my Nexguard.

    I finally reached Cindy today and she was wonderful. She listened, was empathetic and did what I needed right away. I was going to stop ordering from you because I got an online offer for $55.99 for my ** tabs 44-88 lbs and went to order online. It gave me a code to use and that didn't work either. I called and talked to a male rep. He said there was nothing he could do then said he'd reach out to manager. Her first response was any price I saw on Google she won't accept. How could it give you a price, promo and your company name. Anyway after some time on the phone this woman boss said she'd call me back later that night. I waited all night, no call. So I wrote feedback and never heard back. I thought I'd try one last time and Cindy took care of me. Otherwise you would have lost me as a customer.

    I called perhaps a week ago for a prescription refill. I was told that it was out of stock and that I would be notified once it was available. I called again today because I never received notification of availability. Spoke with Robert in customer service. He apologized that I wasn’t notified and told me it was in stock. Also, he offered to contact my vet’s office for approval of the refill. Since I had to call again to find out if it was in stock, Robert waived the shipping charge and filled the prescription. These days I appreciate great service like that more than ever. It’s terrific that Robert was empowered to do that without getting approval from someone else. More companies should give their employees the power to make things easier for the customer. I really appreciate that service from 1800 Pet Meds! Thanks!

    Telephone order only: There was a 10 minute wait. The customer service employee was very polite and asked about my pet. She called the pharmacy to check on refills I had left. I ordered and paid. Very nice experience. Online order only: PetMeds does not keep the online site updated on the amount of refills left. So if you order and there is no refills, the order gets stuck in the computer ethos and never gets processed. I always call to place orders.

They deliver the medications by mail and I always receive them within 3 to 5 business days. I just ordered Vetmedin for my rescue dog that I have had for eight years.

    Original Review: March 22, 2025

    They had a promo for $50 off, I had it already applied to my cart & when I went to checkout - it'd disappeared! I spent an hour trying to get it back & they said today they'd changed it that evening to minimum $100 spend. But I had a friend place an order with it this morning, so I assumed they changed it back! No, they would not apply it when calling in.. despite error in their part/site. I wasted 2.5 hours despite surgery this week, TRYING! They didn't care.

    Don't use them! Placed an order for one year's worth of meds for my 2 dogs. Cost $495 with discount. That amount was charged to my credit card. Got 6 months worth in the mail. Checked my credit card and they took off the original charge and then charged $362 for 6 months worth of meds. The previous order for the same med for 6 months was approx $250!! When I talked to them, they said they had nothing to show that I had ordered 12 month's worth. So they either lied when I ordered, or they changed it and lied about that. Will never, ever use them again. They are dishonest. Beware!!

    Terrible experience. Placed an order several days ago and was told it would be shipped overnight, which I was happy to pay for. Getting Vet approval went very poorly, resulting in my having to make several extra phone calls and the folks at the Vet hospital sitting by their fax machine waiting for PetMed. Called PetMed and once they called me back (after a while) they put me on hold so long that I finally just gave up. When they finally got it approved they sent the order out by regular UPS, which is taking 5 days. We still don't have it and are going to have to drive to a hospital to get the medication tomorrow, as we have run out. Plan to send the medication back to them if and when it ever arrives. What a drag.

    Back in early 2019, I ordered online some meds for my German Shepherd using a card that I don't use at all. About 1 week later a movers guide showed up in my mail, apparently a worker at the Pet Meds warehouse who has access to the credit card orders, used my information and card to change the address for all my mail to their address. Ironically it was an address 15 miles from the Pet Meds warehouse.

    Luckily, my wife was working as a mail carrier and with the postmaster of her office got the transfer cancelled. I will never order from Pet Meds again, I still have the address where they tried to send my mail to. I wish Pet Meds kept the credit card info from the employees, they don't need to know, they just need to fill the orders.

    When it works it’s great but I have had 3 issues with PetMeds and am moving on. I noted earlier this month I had not received any notification that my pet’s meds were not shipped. When I accessed my account I noted that there was no December shipment scheduled and the next shipment was January. I updated, manually scheduling the December shipment and received an email stating that it was updated. Today I look and again no December delivery. I called and was told of a “glitch”. I do NOT recall receiving any notification email or text referring to this “glitch”. Terrible service since this is the 3rd issue I have had. One of the other times the system had cancelled my subscription and no one could explain why. I should’ve received an email and text explaining the issue and an expedited shipment. Would not recommend PetMeds to anyone at this point.
