I'm not one to leave reviews but it is my pleasure to praise the help and 'above and beyond' treatment that we received from Chewy! We have been receiving a "Prescription Diet" food via autoship for our arthritic dog for 6 months. The process was easy to set-up and manage. I had just received notice that my last shipment had left the warehouse-when a quick decline in our Boxer's health called for us to make the decision of easing the burdens of his pain. We scheduled a peaceful 'in home' euthanasia.
The next day I cancelled my autoship, contacted Chewy, asked how to return my current shipment and collect a refund. Expecting to be given the runaround, I was very surprised to be contacted by customer service agent Teresa G. She had typed a very heartfelt condolence letter. She informed me she was trying to intercept delivery and had initiated a refund (which I received in record time). All of this took place on October 28th...on October 30th we opened our door to a beautiful flower arrangement. The condolence tag was signed by Chewy Customer Service. I was very touched. The service, help and personal contact we received at our time of grief was very unexpected and very much appreciate. A 5 star review is very graciously bestowed upon Chewy by the entire ** family. Thank you Chewy and your wonderful employee Teresa G.

I have been ordering from Chewy for years and I choose Chewy over any other method of getting supplies for my cats. The autoship makes keeping up with their litter/food/misc. easy & the reminders of when the next shipment is coming up allows me to push it back if I don't need the order at that time. I also save money using autoship so it's a win-win. Their prices are competitive and I've found products with them that I couldn't find through any of my local pet stores. Their customer service is quick to respond to messages & I have always had my issue resolved. I recently ordered a new cat food flavor and my cats reacted poorly to the rice in it. Not only was Chewy willing to allow me to refund the full boxes & the loose cans from the opened box, but they recommended I donate the extra cans to a local shelter and did not ask me to return the food. I see Chewy as a business that genuinely values animals and providing quality products to animals.

Keep in mind that I am writing this review to WARN others about this '3 day delivery guaranteed' policy. I buy dog food, and lots of it. I buy well over $400 a month, and on subscribe and save. The first delivery came right on time within the 3 day delivery guarantee as promised. When it was time for the next subscribe and save delivery, not so lucky. Not only did they not have the dog food (yes, hard to believe that of all things, they were out of stock on something I had on order for subscribe and save four weeks prior), but the next time my delivery came up it was a 6 day delivery wait! Not 3, but 6!
Today, it was puppy food. Yes, once again, a $241. order of dog food with only a partial delivery today which is the 4th day since the order was made, and the remaining half will not arrive until tomorrow. Now, I don't know about you, but most folks know what the results are when dogs have their diets changed suddenly. When I run out, it's disastrous. There is a thick brown sludge in every nook and cranny of their dog run and ball playing field. Now mind you, I live very remotely. About 1 hour away from a major city, and finding the specific dog food that I buy is not generally an in-store option.
I understand that Chewy is an AZ company. And I am a native Arizonan. Normally I would be quite proud of this fact. But, sadly, after calling Chewy, complaining, trying to fix it so it is more convenient for them to get my much and only truly needed commodity on time, they continue to drop the ball and disappoint. I'm tired of hosing down sludge. And with bag dog food, I don't like to 'store' specifically due to the fact that it can become stale very quickly in AZ under our severe heat conditions. There's just no excuse.
A dog company should at least be prompt and always have dog food in stock. It's a Purina brand, for crying out loud. We're not talking puppy pads, puppy toys, cute dog Halloween costumes. Just good old fashioned dog food. The breakfast of Champions! Not to mention honoring their 3 day delivery guarantee. The necessities should always arrive on time. When this company first started out they were much more efficient, and like all companies that grow and become in demand, they start dropping the ball. So, it's back to the competition for me. I know I will never win this battle, but Chewy will have one less auto-delivery customer because of it. I know it won't break their bank, but it makes me feel better.

We have had ongoing problems with Chewy, but they have always seemed to take care of the problems. Namely, ordering dog food received with holes in the bags. This happened numerous times. It seemed when the next contact was made to address a new problem, they would say "let me review the notes" and that was reason for them to be a bit hostile toward a customer who has experienced quite a few problems? This last event was enough to say "no more". We had placed a 200 dollar order on October 16th, 2020. Generally, we have always received the product within 3 days. That is the main reason why this disabled person orders through them. I immediately noticed the orders were broken up in two shipments between FL and AZ. No problem. However, while the FL order had been shipped out, the AZ order was just sitting in AZ.
When we were given the arrival dates for shipping, My pet was not able to wait for the 20th. I contacted them through chat and asked "why" the delay? I was told because of inventory. I thought that was weird since the dog food was made here in TX. I said "why didn't you have the courtesy to post something on your website?" (Were they worried people would not wait and therefore go to the local pet store?) They told me they would only post something if the inventory was out. That doesn't make any sense because late is late. "1- 3 days shipping" is why I shop there! I was told I could run to the local store and purchase a bag to get us through. While that was nice, I responded with "if I do that why not just order everything at that time and be done with it?
I was upset. In my day "COMMUNICATION" went a long way toward customer service. The rep disconnected from the chat. Of course, a customer trying to make things right loves to be hung up on. I contacted the Supervisor and explained I was just hung up on. I asked her to cancel the order from AZ and continue to ship the order from FL. It was not a pleasant conversation. Of course I was angry. Now I have to go to the local store when I personally like not having to go out during Covid. I verified they refunded that particular shipment.
My order was due on the 20th. I thought everything was taken care of until the 21st. I saw the order had made it all the way to my area on the 20th (within 5 miles) but was recalled. I contacted Chewy. She, was nicer than the Supervisor I spoke to and seemed to have an interest in helping. She would/could not tell me why the order was returned. I suspect it was a vindictive move on behalf of the supervisor.
Nobody would tell me who authorized the order to be returned. Not even FedEx would tell me. They said that information is between Chewy and FedEx. (I don't care what you call it, but free shipping is NOT free. It is factored into the product price and you pay for it, you just don't see it and psychologically it makes you feel like you got better deal.) Nevertheless, FedEx refused to tell me who did the return even though I paid for the shipping. I am done with Chewy and I want the world to know this whole situation could have been avoided by using good customer service and communication. However, snotty attitudes, being disconnected, sabotage of an order and just a lack of old fashioned customer service is not how I do business. It is discouraging to think this is the way big business does things today and forever.

Chewy is a great company that provides excellent service to customers, but they also are sensitive to pet owners. When I called Chewy.com to inform them that they needed to remove my name from their mailing list due to the tragic loss of both of my cats, I was touched by the compassion expressed to me by their agent named Cherisse. She was extremely kind and even refunded the total amount of my last order as a means of expressing sympathies. The next day I received a bouquet of flowers in memory of Baxter and Minou with a meaningful note from her! My husband and I stood there in utter disbelief. Thank you, Cherisse! I called all the pet owners in my family and they switched to Chewy.com. They stand head and shoulders above all major companies. We'll be back, but need more time to heal...

This company used to be stellar but my last two interactions, one involving life-enhancing prescriptions medications were abysmal. It felt like no one was at the helm here. I got contradicting information from different employees and rudeness when I tried to ferret out the real situation. I ended up having to purchase a very expensive drug locally for four times the price one pays online. STAY AWAY.

I had purchase Dog food from them in the past and made sure to cancel the auto shipments once I found out that it was causing issues for my dogs. Every so often Chewy would try to charge my credit cards and start the auto shipments again. I have made several attempts to stop this. Recently on Sept 21st I get an email stating that they are charging my credit card for the same dog food, I contacted them and they canceled it, then on Sept 25th they do it again. Again I contacted them and they stated sorry it was for a different dog food. Last on Sept 28th they charge my Credit card for both types of dog food which they claimed that they canceled. I contacted them and they refused to cancel it stating that it is too far in the process. This was at 3am and I called them at 3:28am? I argued with the lady for a few minutes and she refused to cancel nor refund. I contacted my Credit Card company and filed Fraud with them. About 30 minutes later I get another email stating they are shipping the dog food. What the Hell!

I've been a Chewy customer for quite some time now, and love the ease of simply ordering my cat's favorite food, treats and toys online. Shipping is fast (usually) and if there is ever a problem, the customer service agents are so nice and will make it right for you. I've only had one issue with a delayed shipment, but Chewy took care to make sure my order made it to my door. I'm happy to be a customer and recommend them for all of your pet's needs. The prices, value, and service keep me ordering at least twice a month.

I used to buy from them all the time and would even recommend them to others. NOT anymore!!! Used to take a couple of days to receive items but now it is weeks most of the time. Customer service does not exist there any longer. Tried refilling prescriptions for my puppies but got the worst runaround ever. Vet's office sent prescriptions to them but they kept telling me they never received and the vet's office told them to never contact them. Really? If you need something in a timely manner, definitely don't order from them.

I want to give a huge shoutout to Chewy.com. This is the online company that we bought our dog food from. I received a shipment the day before our beloved dog crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I contacted them and they said to donate it to charity and they would refund the cost of the goods. Done, no questions asked. Impressive!!! The following morning when my husband I got up there was a box from Chewy. It was a dozen yellow roses from the company with a card expressing their condolences. We were surprised to say the least, touched and appreciative of the grace and compassion shown!!! Thank you to the gal, Ashley who assisted me and the entire team at Chewy.com.

We've been long time customers of Chewy and use the Autoship for our food. Lately we have experienced some issues with shipping time from Chewy and/or from FedEx. They used to be very apologetic and would offer something for the inconvenience. Lately they say "we are normally on time" and offer nothing except that "maybe you should order sooner". Chewy is a nice convenience, but if their customer service is going down then I would rather pay $1 more to go with someone else. They have gotten huge and are now falling into the corporate America mindset. They care more about getting more new customers than their long time existing customers. They look at you as just a number. Also, I am tired of everybody using "supply chain" of "COVID" excuses to make up for incompetency.

We do not believe that we can express our thoughts, gratitude in words for “Chewy” but I will attempt. This company who states there are available 24/7 is just that. Chewy went above and beyond our expectations. My family recently lost our beloved 13-year-old dog, Sadey. During our time of grief, Chewy sent the most beautiful bouquet as well as a genuinely sympathetic card. We cannot describe our feelings at the time being overwhelmed, is best said.
Chewy also touched us by unexpectedly refunding an expensive order received before her passing, with only one request if not needed, then donate to a Shelter, at which it was, and accepted with joy and many wagging tails. I write this not necessarily as an insightful review, but instead as a testimony to Chewy’s Characteristics of Good Customer Service, something not found as often as it should be. Thank You Chewy, for being there for your customers in good times and sad. God Bless You, Sadey’s Family

It's a waste of time to get prescription meds from them. They do not process them in timely manner. Meds are not shipped as they should be. Overnight gets shipped via ground and it takes 2 weeks to get spoiled medication. They don't care if product gets to you on time or not. They do not make inquiry on your behalf because shipping is free. Since it's a corporation they do not care about the consumer only about the amount that passes through their hands. Complaints do not work at all. What a waste of the country where person who pays for services is not being treated as person only as a milking cow.

As a non-profit, we get gift cards donated to us for use towards the animals in rescue. Chewy limits gift cards so you can only use one per order. This means that to cover the order of $30 for one bag of food, we can use our $25 gift card and pay shipping or add more to the order and get free shipping, but have to pay the balance. This is super inconvenient and controlling of how we use our money we were gifted. Now we have to dip into the money we could use for other animals to pay for shipping or the remaining balance of another item added if we want free shipping. My suggestion for everyone is to not buy gift cards or use Amazon if you want to use gift cards and not be restricted.

A few days ago I ordered a pet ramp to help my Golden Retriever get into the car more easily as she has been exhibiting difficulties recently jumping up. The ramp arrived within a few days, but when we went to test it, it did not work with my car. Not the ramp maker's fault, it just is not compatible with my car. So I called CHEWY to start the return process and this is what they told me...
The customer service representative (Shana, I may be spelling it wrong) first said she had processed the refund and that I should see it in my account within 3-5 business days and then she said, PLEASE DONATE THE RAMP TO A LOCAL SHELTER! So they didn't require I send it back and they trust me to make the donation. I am truly impressed and love that CHEWY has such a commitment to both customer satisfaction and to the animal care community. Thank you CHEWY, I will make sure our local shelter knows that this gift is from you and not me. Because of this one experience I will absolutely try to use Chewy more often for our pet needs.

Customer for life!! Sadly my daughter's horse passed away recently. He would not eat. We later found out it was due to the cherry tree we put his water bucket under. Those trees are highly poisonous to horses. I went to Chewy.com to stop my order. My horse feed was set to go out that day. I called and asked if they could stop the order. Nick, the guy I spoke with was so kind. I told him my horse did not eat any of the last order but we did open one bag. I asked if I could possibly return it. He gladly gave me a refund and told me I could give the feed to a local shelter or someone who may need the help for their horse. So he stopped the current order, gave me the feed to help someone else, and refunded me almost 200.00 for the feed I had purchased. That is not it.
My daughter who is 12 was so sad about her horse dying she asked me to get flowers. I purchased some dollar store flowers for his grave and she thanked me but asked if we could have real flowers for him. The next day a FLOWER BOQUET showed up at our house and a note from Nick from Chewy.com saying, "We're so sorry to hear of your loss of Star, and our hearts go out to you. We know this time is tough, and we're always here if you need anything". Can you believe that? What company does that for their customer and their horse at that!! My daughter and I were delighted.
They took the time to seek out a florist near me, order flowers, and have a note sent. Yeah, I'm not going anywhere else, ever. This is a great company. If they didn't already do a good job already with competitive prices, an easy to use website to adjust an order, good customer service, they also put a cherry on top and show they care about my pet. Good job and thank you very much Chewy (and Nick) for your generosity. It was truly a blessing to us.

When you set up auto-ship with a company, you are to choose the day and frequency, so say you have set for orders to be sent on a date that falls on a Tuesday and to be sent every four weeks from that day... The company (Chewy) insists to send the orders earlier than the day you have set, so the future delivery, four weeks ahead, is changed to that earlier day, and each time they do this, the order is changed to be sent on the earlier day, moving the future date back to an earlier day, for every future date...
Example: Order to be sent on Tuesday, gets sent out on Monday. Four weeks from the day you set is a Tuesday, but it has now been changed to a Monday. So, when that four weeks arrives, they send the order out a day early, which will fall on a Sunday or Saturday or Friday, depending if they work on Sunday and Saturday ... And so, four weeks ahead gets changed to 'their' day, not your day. And as they continue sending orders a day early, the day sent gets set back in this fashion. And for every time they do this, the order is moved back earlier and earlier and earlier... Get what I am explaining?
So, why bother having it where people are to schedule their ship date, when you choose to ignore the customer's ship date and send the orders when you want to send them and change the future delivery dates, for every time you go early with the orders, making the orders arrive earlier and earlier? And forget emailing customer service with this, because I am getting nowhere. I have told them one simple solution is for them to follow instructions and stop sending the orders earlier than I have them scheduled. They cannot seem to comprehend that setting up auto-ship is supposed to mean you are to ship the orders on the day the customer has scheduled.
Second Complaint - And again, no sense in dealing with customer service, they do not care. Sometimes, Chewy will ship four cases of canned cat food, 24 cans at 5.5 ounces in two separate boxes, so four per box, and the food arrives safely. Other times, Chewy decides to place six to eight cases in one box. Obviously, as it goes through hands during shipping, these heavier boxes are too heavy and get dropped, so I get crushed canned foods, with maggots, arriving in very heavy boxes that are sometimes busting open because they have obviously been dropped because they are too heavy. I have thrown away so much canned food because of this. I have thrown my money in the trash due to the incompetence of others.
It is not for me to put myself out to have to take these damaged items, with maggots, to a Fed-Ex drop off. I should not be having to go through the nasty mess at all. Chewy sent the heavy boxes that arrive with crushed cans and maggots, Chewy should figure out how to get it sent back to them without my having to leave my home. It is not my job to do their job.

I have been shipping with Chewy for over 5 years, and historically I have had nothing but wonderful things to say. Recently however their customer service has taken a decline. Hopefully this is a one off and does not happen again but it left me in a very compromised situation. I always order with a week buffer for my dog's food as he is on a script and can not eat anything else. I placed my order with plenty of time, I thought, but for some reason my order was not shipped through the usual distribution center and somehow got routed to go to the east coast prior to Turing around to me, on the west coast. Sure FeDex is responsible if this issue, HOWEVER, I have made 4 separate calls to chewy trying to resolve this, and here 12 days later it has still not arrived, NOR had a resolution been reached.
First rep told me to call back system was down, second rep states I needed to prove I was purchasing food through me vet for partial refund. I wasn't able to provide as I did not get a receipt. Third rep offered 30 $ refund, on a 99$ item. Fourth rep promised to expedite an order for overnight delivery, two days later it was barely sent today, and will be here in 2 days, so 3 put of the promise. Original order never arrived. No refund offered for those missing items. Will be calling a fifth time today to try and get this resolved. Thing is my dog has run out of food, and I can not order through my vet til tomorrow and can't pick up til the end of the week. So I obviously can no longer rely on chewy for scripted foods. Which totally sucks for me as I am disabled and can not left over 10 lbs, which is why I started ordering in the first place.

We recently lost our beloved 11 yr old golden retriever. She had been taking prescription wet and dry dog food for about 9 months and then we had to go to a feeding tube using dry food. I had 2 cases of unopened canned food that had cost $100. I called to order food for our other golden retriever and asked if I could return the canned food. Customer rep said she needed to look at our account and then said no. She was sorry we couldn’t return the food but she would be glad to to refund our money if we made sure to donate the dog food to animal clinics. I was very surprised and pleased. I told the customer service rep that I would be happy to comply. The money was refunded to me the day I called. What a great company. I will continue to use Chewy. They were good about originally getting prescription. I didn’t need to do anything. Excellent customer service. Great company policies.

I placed a pharmacy order Jul 22, received an email that it was on the way on Jul 24 and would arrive the 27th. I received an email on the 28th stating my order was late.

I placed my order for heartworm prevention for two of my dogs on July 13. They assured me that they would contact my vet for authorization. I immediately notify my vet after placing my Chewy order so that they know to expect a request. After a few days without an update, I call Chewy’s customer service for the second time. They tell me that they haven’t heard back from my vet. So I call my vet. My vet states that they have not received anything from Chewy, whether it be via email, fax, or call. My vet also firmly states that they only accept calls about authorizations during certain business hours — I prominently relay this information to Chewy. They reassure me yet again that they will have their pharmacy CALL the vet.
It’s now July 21, a week since I’ve placed my order when Chewy sends me an email about my order soon to be canceled due to lack of Rx authorization. I frantically call their customer service as well as my vet to see what the hold up is, especially since my dogs are going unprotected from heartworms due to their delay! The vet verifies that they still haven’t received a call. Chewy then changes their story to say that they didn’t call my vet. Instead, Chewy sent a request to my vet via an online PORTAL. I specifically stated to them that my vet will only accept phone call authorization requests. Moreover, the request over the Portal is deemed useless as my vet doesn’t have access to that since their change in business ownership.
I call Chewy for the countless time and spoke to a rude male customer service representative from Dallas that said to me, “I’m surprised Chewy hadn’t canceled your order sooner as this request for authorization has carried on longer than it should have. Your order will be canceled, and that’s just what’s going to happen since there’s no authorization. You can get your vet to call us.” Excuse yourself.
Not only did I get reassurance from previous representatives that they would make a phone call to request authorization, but also, it is Chewy’s/their pharmacy’s job to reach out to the clinic/doctor. Not only did they not place phone calls as claimed, but they refused to call the vet after repeated reminders in order to get the authorization. Had I known the process would be a lengthy waste of my time receiving the run around, and that they wouldn’t actually do phone call requests for authorizations, then I would have gone somewhere else instead of having my dogs be at risk without protection.

I very carefully shopped around several online places. I compared prices, read many off-site reviews from all 5 star ratings, but kept coming back to Chewy.com. Their listed price for the Purina One Live Clear cat food (that my two cats now needed to have), was listed as 16.58/ 3lb bag - $6-8 LESS than local stores!! The $5 shipping was worth it for 2 bags. I even had a personal recommendation from a friend, who had bought off their website before. I called to set up the auto-ship order with customer service. I was really leery of doing that - from a horrid experience years ago - where the price I authorized payment for DOUBLED a few months later. I was assured by this "Chewy representative" that the $16.58/ 3lb bag was their everyday price - not a special or sale price, and that it would NOT be yanked up on me.
I set up every 4 weeks to have two 3lb bags auto-shipped. SURPRISE! 4 weeks later - I get my email that my 2nd order has shipped. I open it... and those two 3lb bags are now on sale! They proudly announce that I saved $2.16 by using auto-ship - making the price of each bag only $20.50!!! WHAT? Just 30 days ago, your "everyday price, that won't get yanked up" was $16.58 - now it's $21.58? $5 more? So, you bet I call Chewy! And I get told that "Last month that WAS the price, THIS month there is a shortage of supply - so the price for THEM has gone up". That "Whoever told me it wouldn't get yanked up, should never have said that. It's just like steak in the supermarket. Sometimes it goes up". WHAT? FIVE DOLLARS IN A MONTH?
I've been looking at the price of this food in 2 pet stores I frequent - I also have an aquarium. The price has remained steady. LIES! I canceled my auto-ship then and there, and demanded a refund - with emails containing a return shipping label, confirmation of the cancellation of my auto-ship account, and that my refund had been processed. I was told I would have the emails within an hour. I only got the email stating my account had been canceled. Today, 2 days later - the day after the shipment was supposed to be delivered (and wasn't), I called good old Chewy. I was told "We didn't send a return label, for all the trouble - just go ahead and donate the food somewhere. Your refund was processed and you'll have it in your credit union account 3-5 business days - we don't send out refund emails".
I call foul - EVERY business sends out refund emails!! It WAS nice of him to say to donate the cat food - I told him I would do so. Tonight I called FedEx when I saw the tracking # for the package now said "No delivery date". They told me Chewy stopped delivery and ordered it returned to them!! MORE LIES!! At this point - I DON'T BELIEVE THEY EVER REFUNDED MY $49.56!!! If they had - they would have SENT that email! CHEWY.COM RIPPED ME OFF!!!

I've been buying from Chewy's for several years and had always trusted the site. I recently purchased flea drops for my pups and cat. While on their site decided to cruise around the "buy one get one". There were a number of sales going on so decided on 3. On this day it was buy 2 get one. Checked out and didn't pay much attention to the details in the cart. After checking out I looked a little closer and had only received the discount on the cheapest item I purchased. Called the customer service and they informed me that if you look at the little blue label next to the discount on each of the items and open up "details" you can read that it is only one discount on the cheapest items per order. Needless to say my trust level has gone way down and will definitely be reviewing my bill much closer from here on. The BOGO and 40 % off special ad was the largest and on the top of the email I received, but they sure didn't want you to see the details.

TO ALL MY ANIMAL LOVERS! I have to say how AMAZING Chewy is. After this last week having to put our dog Bink down after 17 years was very emotional. Then to top it off we had just received our auto ship food for Bink. I called Chewy to cancel the auto ship and I actually talked to a REAL PERSON right away. Ironically her name was Karen and she was nothing like the “Karens” everyone talks about. She was so genuine and sympathetic for our loss. Not only did she refund our auto ship. She simply asked if we could donate it to a vet or someone who really needed it!
I was already so choked up just talking about the loss of our dog, to actually have someone who genuinely seemed to care was very moving and more than enough for me. However, Karen didn’t stop there she went above and beyond and sent us flowers for our loss!. Chewy has a true gem having Karen as an employee and in todays world that’s hard to find.

Chewy auto-shipped three of his four prescriptions and was notified of his passing when they reached out to his primary vet office to get approval to renew his fourth prescription.

We have a Cocker Spaniel with an itchy skin issue. We keep her well protected during the summer months with flea medicine, but she still winds up itching a LOT. The rest of the year is not much better for her. I give her special baths with soap specifically for the itching. It gives her a day, maybe two of relief. Now enter EverRoot Dog Skin and Coat Supplement Liquid Packs!
The first thing that I loved about this product for her is that the oil is a bit thicker than I thought it would be, and it is peanut butter flavored. When I give the supplement to her before bed every night, she thinks that she is getting a treat and laps up the oil excitedly most likely because of the peanut butter flavor. It took a couple of nights but her itching has subsided tremendously! There have been so many nights that I thought someone was knocking at our bedroom door, but it was always just Mabel scratching herself right up against the door. The last few nights have been wonderful for all of us!
I've also noticed when I pet her that her coat feels smoother and looks wonderful. The supplement comes in a box of 14 individual, easy-to-use packets; one for every day for two weeks. The product is well worth the cost to keep Mabel comfortable especially because even though she LOVES swimming, she is not fond of the bath, not to mention that any soap if used too often strips a dog's coat of its natural oils. We are so happy to have found EverRoot supplements for dogs. I'm excited to try a couple of the other types for our fur baby.

It seems they hire morons in their shipping department that can't even pack things well. Case in point, they put a 27 pound box of litter in with two flats of cat food. The box had one paltry piece of paper in it as "packing". Is it any wonder that as the UPS butchers used the box as a soccer ball, the litter crushed the cans? I wonder if anyone in Chewy knows what can happen with dented, violated cans? Then I saw their president came from Amazon. So, the same corporate focus of "customer be damned" that seems to pervade Amazon, now is the corporate motto for Chewy. I will never order from them again and I wouldn’t trust them to ship a flea collar without damaging it.

I am so amazed at Chewy.com’s customer service representative, Alicia, and the entire company. The gratefulness I feel, I can’t put into words. After losing our Zach (12 years old and 60 lbs of love ❤️), I contacted the Chewy.com customer service department. I was hoping to return the potty pads, that had arrived the day prior to our loss. Not only was Alicia kind and compassionate, she took action. She refunded my order and allowed me to donate the merchandise. Then, a few days later, my husband brought in a box that had been delivered to our front door. Roses! ???? Unbelievable. I sobbed. Alicia and the team at Chewy not only remembered Zach, but they honored our fur baby and our family in our grief. I am grateful and humbled. I will FOREVER be a Chewy customer and I will continue recommend them to everyone I know. Amazing ???? 5 stars.

have concerns about Chewy's delivery practices. I ordered a bottle of ** at the same time as some toys, and they delivered the ** separately, in a small package with no warning label, in a bottle that was not at all dog-proof. The delivery person had apparently not been instructed not to throw toxic chemicals over 6-foot fences into yards containing dogs (while the owners were home, no less). He threw the box of ** into my yard (although they delivered the toys to my front porch), my dog got into it within 15 minutes and overdosed, and I'm stuck with $4,000 in vet bills.
So far, Chewy has been kind but intermittent in their responses to my situation, and they haven't kicked in to cover any of my bills. Although I thought I was saving money by ordering from Chewy instead of buying from my vet, those 30 ** ended up costing me $4000. I'm including a picture of my dog with a feeding tube, courtesy of Chewy but not paid for by them.

So I decided to purchase my dog's prescription eye drops on Chewy because it was cheaper and seemed like it'd be convenient. Boy was I wrong! It's been over a WEEK and still they have not shipped the order. I've emailed them several times asking why they haven't shipped it yet, they keep saying the same thing, which is that my vet has not approved the prescription yet and they're working on it. That is not the truth, I have contacted my vet and asked if they received a prescription order for my dog, and they said yes they have and they faxed back the approval to Chewy. They said they did that 4 days ago and Chewy still claims they haven't gotten anything. This is turning into a complete hassle for absolutely no reason.
My dog NEEDS these eye drops, she has what my vet described as "German Shepherd disease", which is where GSDs get a film over their eyes that looks like cataracts but isn't. The eye drops are the only thing preventing my dog from being blind and Chewy is just playing games. I am so angry and frustrated at them. Oh, and they're still holding my $50.00 hostage while they "wait for my vet to approve the prescription." Ridiculous! Do not use Chewy for anything, their customer service is terrible and they do not care about your pet, they only care about money.

Horrible! Out of stock items are never indicated when placing an order. Order is "shipped" without being able to substitute with something else. All "out of stock" items are automatically removed from customer auto-ship order page so customer must hunt their website for the desired products for the next order instead of simply being able to reorder.

My cat refused to eat the new batch of his cat food. I asked to return the 16 cases and was sent a return label. I was told FedEx would pick up the next day. The next day I found out from FedEx that the return was not scheduled. I scheduled a return which was picked up the next day. Five days later I called to check on my refund. Two days before a manager said the refund was cleared but there was no indication on their records of him doing this. Holding on the phone for over an hour this morning, the supervisor told me they never received the return and a case was opened to locate it. I called FedEx and was told that the package was delivered five days ago and was signed for by Chewy. I called Chewy and was told another tracking number which they said was given by FedEx and that was why it was not located.
I called FedEx back and they had no record of the second tracking number and stated they do not give another tracking number. The supervisor left a message after that stating the package was still in transit. Another lie. I called back furious and now was told that the $325. was released and should be in my credit card within five days. Somehow I don't believe them. Terrible to do this to a good customer through the years making large orders every month. Just don't try to return anything or you will be given the same kind of response. Either all their supervisors do not know what to do or what I feel now, they are doing this to hold back the funds or hoping the customer will just give up and walk away. Terrible way to do business.

The customer service representative was so incredibly friendly and expressed his sadness due to my dog's passing. He took the time to help me with anything I needed and I made the process much easier for me. The next day, a bouquet for beautiful flowers was delivered to my home from Chewy with a very heartfelt note expressing their sympathy.

Chewy is a real class act. We were not frequent customers, but we sure will be from this point forward. Recently, I make my first purchase and ordered from Chewy several hundred dollars of medications and supplements for our elderly and sick dog. Before we received the shipments days later, my wife made the agonizing decision to save our beloved dog from further suffering. Several days after the packages arrived, my wife called Chewy to ask about any return policy under the circumstances. Remarkably, Chewy's customer service representative advised my wife that there was no need to return the products. She told my wife that our account would be credited the full amount of the purchase, and we should donate the products to a shelter or other place that would give us peace. That was just awesome, and it reflects the generous and compassionate heart of this Corporate Citizen.
But wait; there is more. The other day I looked outside the front door and there was a box addressed to my wife. She opened the box and, to her delight, there was a dozen beautiful, long-stem roses and a card from Chewy sending condolences for the loss of our cherished dog. That is just priceless. I applaud Chewy. It expected nothing and Chewy did so much. Certainly, Chewy is invested in the smallest customer it serves. That is truly special in this day and age. Thank you, Chewy.

We use Chewy for all of our pet needs and usually have no problems. One of our products needs a vet approval, so when it expired I received a message telling me approval was needed. We reached out to our vet and she said she would approve, so I made the order. Our order was then "in process" for a few days before I received an email again stating that approval was needed. I created a new order and again waited. In the meantime, I contacted the vet who confirmed that she had approved it through her online portal. Again, I received an email from Chewy a few days later stating approval needed. I called Chewy directly and the customer rep told me that it was good to go. Later that day I received an email stating that approval was needed!! Made a 3rd order. Confirmed that the vet approved it. Received an email from Chewy stating order was approved. Then received a 2nd order from Chewy stating that approval was needed??!!
Went to Chewy and corresponded through their 'online chat" and was told that the wrong approval was obtained? I forwarded this to the vet who basically said, "WTF!!" There is only one way to approve it online. The vet actually advised us to order elsewhere as Chewy were being so ridiculous. She ultimately called Chewy directly and had it approved. What should have been a straightforward issue became a 2 week saga which took up not only my time but the vets as well. Clearly something is wrong with Chewy's process of vet approvals, as I have no doubt my vet approved this order 2x online. Notified Chewy of this and got a terse response stating that approval was obtained on the day of the vet call. Really poor and disappointing from Chewy.

As a two year customer always pleased with the results - no longer. Orders that took 3 to 4 days now take at least 14. I ordered dog food 11/5/20 - it hasn’t arrived and delivery is scheduled 11/19/20??? I will support my local pet store from here on. Chewy uses Fedex who then subcontracts with a much slower provider - On Trac... Anything they deliver I cancel - totally unreliable.

I had ordered several Chinchilla products, 10 days later my 18 year old Chinchilla Jackie passed away. I thought no problem, I have Avalanche, he will enjoy the product. Well 2 days ago he passed away also at the age of 16, I called Chewy to see if I could return the product. They told me no need to return the product, they gave me my money back, they told me to give it to a rescue. I am sending the product to a Chinchilla rescue in Wilmington, il. Today! to my surprise I received a beautiful arrangement of an assortment of roses with a sympathy card. Thank you Chewy for caring.

Our family’s dog started having issues with not wanting to eat. Our vet prescribed a critical care wet dog food to help us syringe food her to help keep her comfortable. There was a delay in receiving the food which was on my vet office’s end and not Chewys. Our dog had passed away and the representative I talked to was so kind and sympathetic that they gave us a full refund, canceled the autoship for us, and had us donate the carton of food to any shelter of our choice in our dog Chelsea’s honor. Then a few days later we received a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a nice message of their condolences on our loss. My family and I never thought a company would so compassionate and go out of their way to help us in our time of grief. I highly recommend and encourage everyone to shop through Chewy. They really do care about their customers.

I have been ordering from Chewy.com for many years. The entire company, from ordering, to shipping, to customer service has never disappointed. I have switched my dogs' foods many times and have never had any issues with quality. Their shipping is the quickest I've ever seen as well (sometimes even faster than Amazon). If there has been any issue, such as ripped bags of food or damaged product, they are quick to reship out a new item at no cost. If I have ordered a product and needed to return, their response has almost always been to donate it and they will issue a refund. Their customer service representatives are always friendly and helpful as well.
To top off their amazing services and products, I checked my mail today to find a small package from Chewy. I knew I didn't order anything and was a bit weary. I opened it to find 2 wrapped squares in wrapping paper and when unwrapped were these two adorable painted portraits of 2 of my dogs. It came with a card thanking me for being a loyal customer. I have never had a company send me anything (without being purchased), let alone a personalized portrait of my 2 dogs (which could not be replicated as a stock photo). Even though almost all of my pet product purchases come from Chewy anyway, I will make sure to use them for all purposes.

I wanted to express my experience because I order from Chewy and this was my first time having a problem. I emailed them and explained that two outfits were not the size I expected. Immediately I got an email that said I would receive a refund and asked me if I wanted the correct size using the card on file and said they would not charge me shipping. They also said to give the wrong size to a shelter or someone in need because they did not need me to return the items. (I expressed that I wanted another size I thought would work for my dog in my original email) I looked at my account and the refund was already there. I really appreciate the customer service and I will definitely continue to order from Chewy.com. Thank you.

Watch your auto ship carefully! 3 Chewy reps tell me the packages can be delivered on different days & it was suggested that I have a backup bag of cat food just in case. Sure didn’t mind hitting my bank account monthly for up to $200 a month though. Kitten dry, adult cat dry, 2 tubs of cat litter, huge bag of dog food & Feliway diffusers in last order. Yet I find the cat litter on my doorstep & informed other box will be here tomorrow. My animals’ health & wellbeing are a priority for me but not for chewy. Buying in bulk for the month failed dismally after only a few months. I can not think of a single reason to continue to have Bon Bon’s auto ship in the future when there are other companies such as Petco. After all, everyone offers a discount of some sort when buying on a repeated basis. Don’t learn the hard way like I did, tonight.

I dont really leave reviews but after realizing what an amazing company Chewy.com is I had to. I've always gotten my products from chewy up until my dog passed away. They helped me with everything and even sent me flowers when she passed. I thought it was super thoughtful of a top corporation to do that when they didn't have to. They refunded all the recent purchases I made without a hassle. It was truly thoughtful and the customer service is amazing with anything you need or if you want to vent. This will always be my place to shop when I'm ready to get another pet. Chewy has made every purchase a great experience and made my life easier when my baby was alive to get autoship and all the necessities I needed for her.

Watch your bills. California does not charge tax for pet medications. I noticed tax in the amount of $9.90 was being charged on my last order of medication for my dog. I wrote customer service and was told I am correct but they do not have the authority to refund the tax and that it would have to go to a supervisor for approval. A week went by, no response and no refund. I called customer service and was told I was being refunded the tax. No apology and as of now, no refund. I started looking at other invoices and have discovered more tax charges. I can't even imagine how much money they are making off of people not noticing or knowing about California Tax. Isn't this how class action lawsuits come about?

This past year when the pandemic hit, it became hard to buy cat food in the stores and online. They frequently were out of the kind I needed to get or they had restrictions on the amount I could buy. At the same time, my 6-year-old cat was diagnosed with cancer. I needed to keep his weight up with his favorite kind of foods.
Enter Chewy.com to the rescue! I discovered that I could buy cases of my cat's favorite foods online and have them auto shipped at the frequency I chose. This was such a welcome relief. I could even go in and change quantities and advance shipments when I wanted to. During a really difficult time of caring for my cat and trying to preserve his quality of life and his health, I relied on Chewy.com to make the job easier. When Chewy.com learned that I had to say goodbye to my beloved pet, they were extravagantly kind and empathetic. I can't say enough good about this company. They are a true pet partner during your pet's life, and I highly recommend them. Thank you, Chewy!

Have been ordering from Chewy's for a couple of years. Lately it been a nightmare to deal with them. Something is wrong with the ordering system. They lose orders placed online. It's a constant problem that has lead me to believe somethings is wrong with this company. When I talk to customer service everyone tells you a different story for the failure to process the order. It has happened to me and friends. I will no longer order from them. Found Amazon is cheaper on pet supplies and quicker.

My roommate's puggle passed away recently after we had just bought it food from Chewy. When I called to ask about a refund they were like, "Absolutely. Just go ahead and donate the food and your card will be refunded." No run around, no attitude just acceptance and support. Plus they answer the phone when you call them and you don't have to deal with any automated garbage or being put on hold forever. The last thing still brings tears to my eyes. Someone yesterday knocked on the door and it was flowers. Who sent flowers? Well Kiara (I pray I am spelling that correctly) from Chewy.com saying again how sorry she was for our loss. Thank you Chewy.com for everything. There are no words to truly express how thankful I am to know there are some businesses who still get it.

I love Chewy.com. All my orders are delivered well and timely. They are wonderful with filling prescriptions for my old dog and are MUCH less expensive than my vet. I ordered an item and asked to exchange it for the next size up and they sent me the new size and asked me to donate the original item to a local rescue in my area. Very impressed with this company.

My twelve year old cat Beau suddenly went blind last week and suffered neurological complications then sadly passed away Tuesday this week. I had made a large order for supplies with Chewy to help in caring for him a blind cat. After Beau's passing I decided the next day to return items not used. I call Chewy customer service and spoke to Siearrah. To my surprise she not only was so sympathetic and kind to authorize my return she told me not worry about it and just donate the items. I am planning to donate next week all the items to the same shelter I adopted Beau from. :)
If that alone was not awesome, yesterday I received a beautiful boutique of flowers with a lovely note from Siearrah. This is a amazing company that really cares about their customers furry and human. In all the years purchasing from Chewy for all the products needed to kept my boy Beau healthy and happy I have had only outstanding customer service!!! This is a company everyone who loves their pet(s) need to support. It's not a marketing gimmick. You are treated like family! I do not know if I will adopt another furry friend but if I do, I will again be a loyal customer. Thank you Siearrah for all your kindness and compassion. You truly have touched my heart.

I recently purchased bladder support pills for my dog, Breeze. Three days after I placed the order, she unexpectedly passed away. I contacted Chewy’s support team to try and refund the pills, and they gladly refunded me and said I could either donate them to a rescue or humane society, or use them for other pets. Not only was I pleased with that, but they also sent me flowers and a letter expressing their condolences. Companies that take care of their customers will KEEP their customers. 10/10, thank you chewy!

I ordered a large hamster wheel and received a small. After contacting the company, they told me I would receive the correct size. Wring size came again. They told me they didn't actually have the size I wanted and told me they would refund me. They told me I would receive over $12 for my refund, but I received less than $8 due to a coupon used. The representative told me the amount I would receive though and after calling to make this right, was told they would not give me the amount promised and wanted me to spend more money to try and get the correct wheel. I was so disgusted by their lack of trying to make things right and will never buy from them again.

Today I placed my last order with Chewy due service issues encountered in the last six months. When I said that I spend $4k a year but was finished due to issues,, the person on the phone at Chewy said "Awesome"... Which tells me they failed to listen or just don't care. I spend over $4K a year at Chewy and resent the lack of consideration for the customer, Between the double orders and blanket cancellation of orders and the response from Chewy when I called to complain? One star - they are the best unless there is a question, then Chewy is the worst. UPDATE- when I canceled the order, "Awesome"... but now I see it was not canceled, but billed and shipped. For six years, the best customer service...

Chewy could be a great deal if they could get their orders correct when shipping. I have ordered from them at least ten times and four out of the ten orders I received are missing items. When you call to inform Chewy the order was missing items, they do replace the items, but who wants to keep calling after you receive the order to inform them of the error? The last time I called, I received one of the two items I ordered was made to feel like I was lying. My expectation is that I receive the items I paid for. This company is very lax, with no oversight which makes it very frustrating for the customer. I can no longer order from Chewy the hassle is not worth it.

I want to be fair about this company. I have been ordering products, like food, toys, harnesses, etc. for both my dogs and my daughter's cat for a long time and have always had great service. However, for the first time, I tried ordering pharmaceuticals. My dog is diabetic and we just moved from one state to another. My old vet carried insulin and I was able to purchase whenever I needed with just a day's notice. I discovered in my new state, vets don't carry medication for sale.
I called everywhere (except Costco because it hadn't opened yet in my town) and none of the pharmacies, Walmart/Sam's Club/CVS, etc. did not carry insulin for dogs. I could only purchase online. I ordered with Chewy because they had the best price. At this point, I had about a week supply, so I thought that was plenty of time. Each day, I checked on my order and was told, it would ship tomorrow. 6 days later and it still has not shipped!! I am dangerously low now.
On the weekend, I called other Costco's and there was one in another town that had it in stock. I asked my vet to call in another prescription because I am about to run out and Chewy still hadn't shipped. Luckily, I got another bottle at that Costco. What is up with Chewy?? Don't they realize it's life or death if my dog doesn't get her insulin?? I did try to speak with a supervisor twice when I called, but each time placed on indefinite hold and finally hung up. They are great for other things, but if you need meds for your dog, I would suggest trying to be a month in advance because they obviously have no sense in the timeliness of important medication.

According to their own website the order did not ship until 09/25/2020 and they say I should receive by 10/02/2020, however FedEx website says 10/01/2020. I tried to send an email voicing my displeasure as now I have to go to the local pet store and pay more money to get food to hold me over until then and got a generic automated response. Tried to go online and chat with a customer service rep about it and she disconnected the chat in the middle of me typing a sentence.
Called the 800 customer service line and was basically told it was Fed Ex fault and the person I was talking to did not to even seem to care and told me to call FedEx. Their prices are about the same as my local pet store, so I will go back there for my supplies in the future. Chewy.com gained and lost a customer within the course of 48 hours and I will make sure I tell all my friends and family of my displeasure. What has customer service come to these days????
