They try to rush orders out only to neglect common sense. You do not pack 40 lbs of kitty litter with small pet plastic huts, toys, and millet spray. I ended up with cracked pieces and millet meal instead of millet spray. Although they're good about replacements, it just ends up being a waste of time: ordering, getting broken stuff, complaining, waiting for a replacement and the cycle goes on. This has happened to me 3 times now. Cages come cracked or pieces do not fit together like they're supposed to. I'm surprised I didnt have the FBI banging at my door for all of the chinchilla dust that leaked everywhere outside of the shipping box because the bathing dust container got crushed from the kitty litter. As a delivery person, imagine yourself in the midst of a suspicious whitish powder on your hands and clothes from handling a box. You'd most likely freak out not knowing what it could be.

Any issues always get sorted out immediately. Sometimes things are in sale and are actually cheaper in store. However it’s so easy to have it delivered. Packaged well every time and not experienced any damage.

I couldn't be more impressed with Chewy. I've used their auto ship feature for years and it's so convenient. On just one occasion they accidentally mailed me the wrong flavor of cat food. Their customer service is fantastic. The correct flavor showed up at my house less than 24 hours later. They said I could donate the first shipment to a local animal shelter. My cat of 17 years recently passed away so I canceled my auto ship order and gave his death as the reason for canceling. Less than a week later I came home to a beautiful vase with flowers and a sympathy card on my front porch. This is just the best company!

I’m so upset. I know I canceled my auto-ship but I still got charged 101 something and on top of that the stuff came ruin, it’s all wet and soggy. The box is damaged. I wish I get my money back but that ain’t going to happen. I never had a problem getting my money back from Chewy until now and that was in the order was 3 a bag of dog food that got ruined and a bottle of dog shampoo that leak out everywhere and a dog Matt bed that is all messed up with the dog shampoo and the rain and if you guys want this back.

A truly first class company with such heartfelt compassion that we appreciated more than one could ever imagine, let alone one would expect from a company selling any product or service. After hearing of the the loss of our beloved dog on the very day of his sudden and painful passing from a rare and aggressive form of cancer, we received a case of the expensive prescription food we had ordered per our veterinarian, Chewy.com refunded our money without any hesitation. But more surprisingly and importantly was that we received a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a very personal kind note from them the very next day. It brought tears of grateful appreciation from us at a time of grieving.

I love Chewy.com I have had nothing but pleasure. Only issue in 2 years was at Christmas time. I called 3 times to ensure my gift would have zero snafus. Well from start to finish it was a disaster!

I am writing this review because I do not want other people to experience the same thing I have over the past week. I placed a rather large order from Chewy.com for $133.89. But, since one of my items had to be shipped from another warehouse I was charged $125.24 & 8.65 separately. Those two charges ($125.24 & $8.65) were authorized on my debit card. But the $133.89 is still a pending charge on my debit card and it has been for 7 DAYS now. Pending charges still don't allow you to access your funds, so I have been out an additional $133.89 since I placed my order at Chewy.com.
The customer service is rude and disrespectful and just completely disregarded how this has inconvenienced me in any way shape or form. They continue to place blame on my bank (it's not my bank's fault), clearly the blame lies with the Merchant. I refuse to order from this site ever again because all they have done is wasted 2+ hours of my time (on the phone with Chewy.com & my bank), double-charged me, and failed to compensate me for the inconvenience. Save yourself the headache and don't order from here.

I know many order pet food from Chewy. I’m not ready to take that step yet for my dog since he has allergies and can have issues with different brands. I do however have an almost 22 year old cat that has dementia at certain times. I was in dire need of potty training pads. I needed the larger ones and ones that are absorbent. I’ve tried a few local and through Amazon. I need good quality in bulk for an affordable price. After all. I’m not training and soon to be done with these. I’m using these daily for the remainder of my cat’s life.
I found the best quality, best quantity and best price on chewy. They said two day shipping and when I was worried it wouldn’t arrive in the time frame specified. After talking to an online agent. They were quick to help me out. Turns out they were indeed arriving that day. I feel very comfortable now ordering more items through chewy due to their customer service. Shipping speed, quality and price of their items. They won’t let you down and strive to do their best as well as provide you the best product at a great, reasonable price. The pee pads from chewy cost less than the ones you can get at any local store. Plus you get double the amount for less on chewy. Very pleased with this company

I once ordered the wrong food for the family cockatiel; the customer service rep replaced it with the correct item at no extra charge, and suggested that I donate the item that I had mistakenly ordered to a local shelter.

I thought at most I would get a credit for the unopened bag of dog food which would mostly get absorbed by shipping it back. To my surprise, they told me to donate it all and credited me for the whole order. I was so shocked. I appreciated it, you just don't get that type of service anymore.

I buy a LOT of cat food - my Chewy orders are over $100 each week and I've been buying from them for a few years now so I wanted to leave a general review (not product specific) and alert people to their excellent customer service. I have auto-ship for myself and my elderly neighbor across the street (2 separate auto-ships set up which is nice) and about a year ago we were having issues with damaged shipments. All it took every time was a call to Chewy customer service and the problem was fixed. They would send out replacement cases for the damaged packages with no hassle at all. I would have gladly sent a picture to prove what I was referring to but they never asked. That problem seems to be handled as we have not received any damaged in quite some time.
But they also will send you replacements if there is something wrong with the food otherwise. Case in point, one of the varieties I have bought for years now is Fancy Feast Chunky Chicken (pate). Never a problem...until recently I ordered 3 cases along with other foods, and all 3 cases had a different texture to the food (like a mousse & chunks rather than pate ground & chunks). Cats were turned off but I've sprinkled FortiFlora on it or put a few treats on top and they'll eat it. I phoned the manufacturer who assured me they have not changed their formula, and there had been no issues, so then I felt better and understand maybe something went wrong in the mixing with my batch...
So I called Chewy and explained the issue, the CSR took down all the information I gave her about the consistency of the food, and I offered to provide her the date, time, and name of the lady I'd talked with at Purina, however she said, "no that's alright", and she was sending me out replacement cases for my previous order.
Unbelievably excellent customer service, every time I have to call them. They are wonderful and you get your orders super-fast normally by the next day or at least the day after that. Amazing to say the least. I used to go to Petco all the time or PetSmart, and now I get to have it delivered to my home, anytime I want, and it is SO convenient. I think many people do not call them if there is an issue, and then they just complain and give them bad reviews both on their site and elsewhere, which is unfair. Give them a call so they can help and make it right. I give them a 5-star rating!!!

I started shopping at Chewy.com so I could refill my dog prescription. It was delivered fast and the price was half of what I originally paid. I’ve also purchased top of the line dog foods and treats. They have better prices than I can get at a pet store in my area. I also noticed for someone who can not afford the most expensive dog foods they also offer less expensive choices. If you want to automatically buy food you can get it at a cheaper price. I'm very happy and have told a few people already. Why carry heavy bags of dog food or kitty liter when you can have it delivered fast to your front door.

My pup and I LOVE Chewy! He goes crazy with excitement whenever a Chewy box arrives at our door. I love the fast hassle free shipping because I can't physically carry big bags of dog food up the stairs to my apartment. Chewy has competitive prices, daily deals, and a great selection of anything you might need for your pet. Food, toys, medicine, training and cleaning supplies; they have it all. There are a few very specific products I need for my dog (he's a service dog in training) that Chewy doesn't carry, or that I've been able to find cheaper from other stores, but almost everything he owns came from Chewy.
I especially love their amazing customer service. Any time I've had an issue with a product, no matter the reason, I've been able to call and speak to a real, friendly person right away. They have always resolved the problem, either by immediately sending a replacement free of charge or by issuing a refund, no return shipping necessary. If the product in question is still usable, I can donate it to an animal charity. Chewy even sends my pup birthday and holiday cards! :-)

I placed a rather large order I do every month, for my animals. I have no issue with ordering dry goods. If the order is placed by 9am it arrives at my door next day. Different story with the pharmacy, My dog is diabetic so he is on insulin. I thought I would try to order from Chewy. After 4 days the insulin is still stating "preparing for shipment". So I contact customer service and they tell me it was approved by my Vet clinic. It should ship out in the next couple of days, I told them that was acceptable, and "I will call you back." I call my Vet clinic and ask them when did they approved the script with chewy, they told me the 4 days ago. I call chewy back and explain again with the exception of what my Vet Clinic told me, now she tells me that the vet clinic approved it today and it will ship now in the next 3 days. Which would be a Sunday at the latest, so who is lying. My Vet Clinic or Chewy?
I explain to her I just got off the phone with my Vet and they approved it 4 days ago. I never got a response back. Then she tells me that the pharmacy items are shipped out of different state that is the reason for the delay in shipping, I believe they are using a second party vendor and once the order is transferred, no telling how long it will take.

Chewy is biased towards dogs and their target audience is dog owners. They don’t tailor their email responses to their audience. They assume everyone is a dog owner/lover, using boilerplate language like “give us a bark if you need anything else” and “have a tail wagging great day” even if you contact them regarding a cat product.
They have numerous tv commercials, almost entirely of dogs. In the rare occurrence there is a cat, it’s in the background, hardly noticeable. In one commercial, a spokeswoman talks about not having to lug heavy cat litter from the store, yet there isn’t a single cat in the commercial—only dogs! I contacted their corporate office and told them given cats outnumber dogs in pet ownership, I would think they would want to target cat owners as well, but instead they project themselves as being biased towards dogs by excluding cats from their commercials. The fact they never responded is very telling.
They are selective in which negative reviews they post. They only post negative reviews that are inane (ex. product stinks, pet didn’t like it). They wouldn’t post my review which provided constructive criticism and scientific evidence—product caused diarrhea and vomiting even after ruling out other possible causes—because they didn’t want it to impact their bottom line—sales. There are plenty of pet retailers who love cats and who appreciate the business and feedback of their owners. And Petco and Entirely Pets will match other retailers’ prices.

First let me say for several years I thought Chewy.com set the bar on pricing and Customer Service. Perhaps the sale to PetSmart initiated changes. Perhaps Chewy.com believes Customers will stay for price only. Chewy.com only can answer why service and support has declined.
*Boxes are too heavy to lift and require removing items individually to bring inside.
*Carriers consistently damage packaging during shipment and retape/repack boxes.
* Items are often open and/or damaged particularly when shipments include litter.
*Items in boxes are unsecured and unprotected.
Chewy advised their shipping policy is up to 60 lb per box. I was advised to split orders to reduce weight. So I did. What happened next was that Chewy held both orders because they felt they may have been made in error. When I checked on orders I was informed they had been cancelled. I have returned to shopping in store at PetSmart / Petco and order prescription food through Chewy's repeat delivery discounted price.

I am a young adult, therefore it is rare I go to companies for specific customer service, rather just to get something. It's pleasant when I receive good customer service but for the most part if I need something it doesn't matter how I get it. I am the proud owner of my very first dog (by myself, the other dogs were family dogs) and I was nervous about giving her everything she deserves. My parents have always raved about getting stuff online at Chewy, but I genuinely despise ordering/shopping online for anything because I can't see it or touch it before purchasing and it takes so long to get to me - I have a thing for instant gratification. My doberman pinscher rottweiler has a very sensitive digestive system so I needed to order special food for her, so I went to chewy's website so I could get a discount on autoship. After creating a portal I put in all of my girl's info like birthdate and even a picture of her.
Any time I called chewy I was greeted by the most friendly, positive, upbeat and authentic people I have ever been on the phone with, and it seriously made the rest of my day better. After a while I canceled the autoship so I no longer went to the website, however a few months ago was my birthday. I received something in the mail from chewy and I was confused because I didn't order anything, and all of my close loved ones swore they didn't order me/my dog anything for my birthday. I open it up and it is the most beautiful and realistic hand painted portrait of my dog and a sweet handwritten card saying that the chewy family hopes I enjoy the painting and have a good birthday.
I am not being dramatic here - I was in tears. This was such a small thing that such a large company did not need to do but they went out of their way for one single customer. It wasn't a discount or a free toy or some computer generated message. They put in time, effort and money for me. I was shook and elated. I framed it and put it on my wall, and I will keep it forever.
Fast forward and now it's my dog's birthday this Sunday. I checked my mailbox and sure enough chewy had handwritten a card for her saying happy birthday. These little things are just so big to me and are so special. I have never experienced a company like this one. Y'all are too good. When shopping or needing something for a pet, so dear to our hearts and families, it is crucial to get the right stuff and the best stuff. Like I said at the beginning of what is now a short essay, if you need something, it doesn't matter how a company behaves (for the most part) you will get it. So having chewy make buying things for our fur babies pleasant, easy and fun is monumental. Thank you so much chewy. I will always support and shop with you.

I've been ordering my dog's Rx dogfood from Chewy.com since 8/2019. Every two weeks my order is over $80.00. The food is packaged in cans and over half of the cans are severely dented. If the food was bad I would know when I opened it, but I shouldn't have to worry about it for the price I pay. Ridiculous. Going back to my vet (where the cans aren't dented) for dog food.

I am a new customer to Chewy.com and this is how they treated me; I bought from them a case of vet prescription food for my sick 18yo cat. I’ve been trying to keep him alive so the vets could figure out what was wrong with him. He went from 27lbs to 8lbs in just a few years. No diet change. Hungry as ever, just was losing weight. Blood tests showed normal. With my first Chewy order, they sent me an email wanting to know all about my two cats. No i letters. Just caring emails from the employees. Then I had to return one order because I thought the cans would be smaller. They refunded me the cost of the food and instead of returning it, they suggested I could donate it to a shelter. Nice. But back to my sick cat and how Chewy turned everything around for me..
When I received that last order of the script cat food, my Lucky was too far gone and I had to put him to sleep. I wrote to Chewy and told them I’d be glad to send the food back as it was still in the box, unopened. Again, they refunded me the cost and suggested donating the food. But what they did the next day is really why I’m writing this review. I had a knock on my door and buried in my bed, I contemplated not answering it, but I live with my bedridden mother so it may have been an in home caregiver. Wasn’t that. A lady stood at my doorstep holding a very beautiful flower arrangement. I figured it was for mom, but she asked if I was Nancy. “Yes”, I said, quizzically. “These are for you.” How sweet. I figured they were for my loss of Lucky from a friend or family member. Again, wasn’t that.
There was a handwritten card: “We’re so sorry to hear of your loss of Lucky and our hearts go out to you. We know this time is tough and we’re always here if you need anything. Love, Jeremy, Chewy.com" Of this day and age of form letters and telephone recordings, it was not only a breath of fresh air. It was to me, a lifeline. As I took the flowers to my room, I sat them on the table in my eye line from the bed where I promptly got back in. With the covers over my head, I peered out to look at the flowers and a thought jumped in my head.
Here are people in a company that cares about people. They get up every day and go to work so they can bring joy to others that may need it more than they know. Regardless of what’s going on in their life, they’re here, thinking of my pain and reaching out in the most beautiful way. If they can do it. So can I. I got out of bed and got ready for the day. Before leaving to go to some animal shelters and get me a pet I could pour all my extra love on, I took one long look at the flowers and note, and because it’s not so heavy now, gathered up my pain to take with me and started my day. Thank you Chewy. You’ve helped me more than you know. I went into a depression and just stayed in bed for awhile.

Our dog, Joe, was diagnosed with kidney failure a few months ago. The vet prescribed a very expensive dog food. It didn’t take me long to figure out Chewy.com was the cheapest place to get this food.

Great alternative to brick and mortar shops. I've used Chewy.com for years now. No longer do I have to lug supplies home. They have everything my family needs even prescription foods. There is now better packaging for the cat litter and no more litter mess outside my front door. I do hope Chewy learns to package the food better though. I had to call about a crushed package and quickly got a replacement. Thank You! If the food had been packaged better I would not have had to call. Any air spaces in the box of 20 pounds of cat food will get crushed by the well packaged 42 lb box of cat litter if it is place on top of the the cat food.

I spent 30 minutes placing an order with Chewy.com, last night; and then by chance this morning, I see that they cancelled my order.

(I don't look closely, at my 100+ emails I receive daily, so I was really lucky to see the cancellation.)
So they asked me to verify my address, and the last 4 numbers on my credit card, and then said I could reorder!! I told them to just send the order I had already placed... duh! She said they couldn't, that I would need to reorder. I stated that that was NOT sane, and what would keep them from canceling my next order again!!?

Beware Consumers, There are so many companies and thieves thriving on these kind of practices, consumers are very busy with hectic life and forget to report to credit card companies. I have several transactions done in each statement period and if I do not pay attention this type of charges will be forgotten. I tried to find out who they were selling their product using my Chase Sapphire credit card. No help from Chewy.com, instead asked me to file police report and investigate. In my opinion this company is also part of fraud and in business selling online without proper credit card verification and security steps to prevent scammers from using third party cards.
I do not have pets and never bought anything in my life from this company in my life, they sold and shipped to a thief and charged me for it. They do not get paid when and if and only if a consumer notice or remembers to disputes. However there millions who will not remember or know their right to call for disputes for small charges like $100 or $200, which goes unnoticed. These guys are scammers and they are smart.

My cat is on a prescription food, but I just realized the brand Royal Canin has crap ingredients and charges $72 a baggie it. I wanted to change the brand to Hills same prescription more expensive and better ingredients and was denied. And I was told I need a new script. I explained there is no reason for the script to be changed. It’s the brand. I want better ingredients for my cat. Chris the supervisor was so rude and didn’t seem to give a care about my reasons or my situation. Which is my Vet is ill with cancer and can not write a new script 'cause he has closed his practice that I would have to find a new vet in order to get the script so my cat can eat. I said, "Then maybe I should close my account." He said, "Go ahead. No problem. Bye," and hung up.
I called back and the person (Anthony) I then spoke to was compassionate and tried to get another supervisor who explained to me policy and unfortunately couldn’t help me either. So even if you don’t change a script but want to change a brand you have to jump through hoops. You're married to the brand even if you find out they are poisoning your pets with crap ingredients. Lesson to all these - read ingredients. Don’t go by a well known brand. They trick you by making you think by paying more you're getting better product. Royal Canin should be ashamed and I am letting them know as well.

In early December, 2019 we order a prescription for our dog, Stella, who had lost her appetite because of kidney failure. We couldn't accept this possibility and ordered a stimulant prescription from Chewy to enhance her appetite. We never did used the stimulant as Stella became worst before we could use the medicine. We made the decision to have her put down. After Stella passed I called Chewy and asked if I could refund the medicine since I hadn't open it. No problem. The agent said that I would have a refund in 5-7 business days and I could donate the medicine to the local vet. We received the refund.
Now read this carefully. About 3 weeks later we received from Chewy a dozen roses with a wine gift card in condolences for our lost. This brought tears to our eyes. This goes above and beyond the call with this act of kindness. We do have a Chewy Warehouse in our town.

Chewy.com has earned a forever customer in me. I am afraid that I cannot explain well enough the customer service experience I had with George, when I opened a chat with him to ask about the shelf life of Iam's Large Breed dog food. You see, I have two large breed dogs... an 8 year old great dane named Max, and a 6 year old American bully, Lexi. I have been, for years, subscribed to Chewy.com's auto-ship program, and every four weeks have two of their 30-40lb bags shipped. They come in, we dump them into the easy scooping bins. Two bags last about a month for both dogs. Usually.
Well, early December 2019 Max developed a knot or what I was hoping a cyst on this front right ankle/leg. A week later it had doubled in size. I took him to the vet and was given the worst news. It's bone cancer. A very aggressive bone cancer that was not effectively treated without compromising quality of life. I was told I had weeks before I should seriously consider "helping him along". The longer I waited, the bigger a risk of that leg breaking... it being a front leg on a Dane, a break would be catastrophic for all of us, most of all Max.
I pushed for more time. Max was doing ok with this pain meds... but after a couple of weeks his decline was noticeable. He was hardly eating, his lump was growing daily and starting to protrude out of the back side of his leg. I knew the cancer had spread through the leg bone from one side to the other. He was barely getting himself up off his couch and the worry of a break was constant. On 12/31/19 we made the decision and said goodbye. I am not new to putting suffering animals down, but putting Max down when he still had a wag in his tail was not only heartbreaking, but felt morally wrong to me. I was so concerned with my conflicting feelings and mourning, that I forgot about all of the food that was on auto-delivery.
Couple days later, I received my shipment. Two new 30lb bags of food. Hubs did as he normally would. Emptied both bags in the scoop bins and burned the trash. It wasn't until yesterday that I even thought about the excess food. I opened a chat with George at Chewy.com and inquired about the shelf life of this particular brand. I didn't want it to go bad. It would take MONTHS for Lexi to eat 3 - 30lb bags of food. All of which were taken out of the bag already. George informed me there was a shelf life, and then did the unexpected. He offered to refund me for three bags. No questions asked, no taking no for an answer. He expressed his condolences and told me that I had enough to deal with and not to worry about the food.
I promised that I would donate wherever would allow for opened containers and thanked him from all of us! Then, when I got home from work tonight... I found a beautiful bouquet of flowers from George and Chewy.com, who sent their love and sympathy for our loss. BEST. PEOPLE. EVER. I <3 CHEWY FOREVER. Thank you George, and Chewy.com. From the bottom of my heart!

Out of 5 shipments I was only happy 2 times, big 40 lbs of cat litter are put in a box with 24/26 cans of cat food with no protection around them, there is so much room in the box it is all slamming/knocking together and damages the cans.
Today was the last straw, I ordered some Vitamins and another cat bed. Apparently it had to be shipped in 2 separate shipments, regardless the $ 40 was on hold on my credit card, but then next day it charged me $ 15 for 1st shipment and then next day another $ 25 for the 2nd shipment again. The hold of $ 40 is still on my card, so basically I am out of $ 80 for a few days till the $ 40 hold comes off. I am done now with this.

Sassy was a very special four legged daughter and became very sick and we laid her to rest on December 29, 2029. I purchased all of her food and pee pads, etc. from Chewy.com. Deliveries were always fast and on time. The service department was always helpful, knowledgeable, and courteous. The company is a caring company. They sent us a vase of flowers we they were notified of Sassy's passing. We were very touched by that. We never had to return all the supplies we had accumulated. We were told we could donate them and not have to go to the trouble of sending it all back. We did donate everything to the Humane Society of Chesapeake. Would recommend this company without reservation or hesitation. Thank you to Chewy.com for their caring and good service.

I figured I would give Chewy.com a try as I am chronically ill and sometimes shopping is a bit too much for me. They said at the top of their site that it was 1-2 days shipping... I purchased items around 5:48 am on 1/3/20... One package won't reach me until sometime on 1/6/20 and the other won't be here until 1/8/20!!! This is NOT 1-2 days and it is utterly ridiculous that it didn't ship on Friday! Will not be using again, I will try another company and will be deleting my account as well.

THE SITUATION: I wanted to go with Chewy.com to simplify my life. Free shipping and not having to carry heavy food was an awesome thought. I have three large dogs. Two (80#) Boxer mixes a Border Collie and a Blue Maine Coon Cat, all rescues. My first order went through fine even though it was in December. THE PROBLEM: My second order has become a nightmare. I got an email sent after 5PM today that they did not have the dog food and if I did not get back with them today they would cancel the whole order. Luckily I did check my email when I got to our home out in the country and found the email.
I then began a chat to sort out the problem. We got it worked out, BUT it will not be here until Wednesday because it did not ship out today. So I will go out and buy a couple of cases of dog food on a special trip to town tomorrow because I will not let my babies go hungry. I give them some wet food so their meds can be taken easily and then dry food for the bulk. I think this will be my last Chewy order because the customer service is not aware that you will have problems if you begin switching your dogs' diets around, the shipment will be late causing more problems than simplifications. Do not believe Chewy! They do not make life easier.

I have been purchasing from Chewy for a few years. I had 3 cats, one with diet restrictions due to pancreatitis. On two separate occasions my cats would not eat food ordered and Chewy gave me credit for food which I donated to local shelter. Once was delivered to wrong address and next day I received replacement order. I said I had 3 cats. A couple weeks ago my 19 yr old crossed the rainbow bridge. What did Cewy do? Sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers with expressed sympathy. This is a company who truly cares about your fur family and what is best for them.

I cannot say enough good things about Chewy.com. Their customer service is better than any company I have ever dealt with. Our dog recently passed the day before Christmas Eve and with all of the chaos of dealing with his surgery and the holidays we forgot to cancel his autoship. Not only did customer service refund our order and cancel the autoship, but they told us to donate the expensive prescription food in our dog's name to a local shelter instead of returning it. The customer service rep also wrote a heartfelt response back about our furry family member's passing. I highly recommend this company.1

Veterinarian prescribed the new drug ** for an allergic reaction for my English Mastiff, Vet called in script to Chewy the same day as I placed the order. Chewy did not even fill the script for 5 days. I did not receive the medication for 8 days. I called Chewy after the 3rd day to check on the med. I was told that they do not fill a script up to 24 hours after receiving the order from the vet.
I tried to get them to do the math. If what they were saying about the 24 hours I should have received the medication at my house in about 4 days. 24 hrs to fill and package then their advertised 2 day delivery = 3 to 4 days NOT 8.

My husband and I bought an antibiotic ointment for our new kitten who had an URI and developed conjunctivitis with it. We had the kitten for all of a week before her other symptoms unrelated to the URI worsened, and we took her back into the vet to find out that she had suffered a traumatic fall which ruptured her diaphragm and caused her intestines to become entangled in her chest cavity which was suffocating her heart. After a lot of struggle, we decided to put her down. After we had spent the whole day at the vet and put our little girl to sleep, we arrived home to our chewy.com box with her ointment at our front door. We called to tell them that she had passed and we no longer needed the ointment and asked if we should send it back. The woman who helped us assured us we did not have to send it back, and to kindly donate the product in our kitten’s name to help another animal in need.
We arrived home today and were greeted to roses at our front door with a hand written message from chewy.com offering their condolences for the loss of our kitten. I am truly amazed that a company would be so kind and compassionate in the moment when we called to tell them we didn’t need our product anymore, let alone going above and beyond to send flowers. We got little to no empathy from the shelter we adopted our kitten from, with the “cat coordinator” acting like nothing had really happened even though the trauma and neglect that ultimately ended her life occurred in their care. We got more care and empathy from this company than anyone else involved, and I am truly thankful that there are still good people in this world. Thank you for your kindness, it has been truly appreciated during this difficult time.

When a large outfit like Chewy is continually out of stock of a very common item like **, in BOTH ointment and suspension form, you gotta wonder what's going on. I had a similar experience with **.

I've ordered my cat's prescription food multiple times through Chewy and had no issues. However, this time was very different. I accidentally forgot to change my shipping address on my autoship (I had just moved). I did this the last time and emailed them about it and they got it fixed ASAP. I emailed them literally 30 seconds after I placed the order about the address (this worked last time). No reply. The next day it shipped so I called and told them about my issue. No problem, it just might be a day or two late. The next two weeks consisted of the food shipping to my city then shipping back to Arizona 2 times, with a total of 5 phone calls to Chewy. I got a refund, at least. Finally, it said my "package was declined."

Chewy Auto-ship is great and flexible. We are currently in a predicament where a package is being delayed by the delivery service they use. We have been in contact with Chewy about it and they have done wonderful with listening to us vent frustrations. This morning, after a now 12 day delay on the delivery we made another call. The representative was so helpful that she even checked a local Pet Smart to see if they have the prescription food for our dog in stock. Once confirmed she stated that if the package does not come today, she will have the prescription forwarded to there so we can purchase what we need to hold us over until our package is finally delivered. The only thing I think they could do better is to also contact their shipping company and push to get this delivered, so I am not fighting that battle on my own.

We tried Chewy because we had a coupon, but now I'm wishing we just went to a local store. The day I ordered, Friday morning before 9am, it said the packages left the warehouses (two separate ones).

The other package didn't even leave Arizona for the first 3 days. It was supposed to be here today, and then this morning I get a message that it's delayed AGAIN. This is extremely inconvenient for us, because we have a Christmas party to attend tonight and we were giving the treats we bought as gifts. So now I have to go to a local store and spend more money.
When I complained to customer service their only answer was higher than normal volume, and weather. They sent me a return label and said once the facility received them they would process the refund.

It immediately brought back some really tough emotions because my buddy's diabetes had complications; he got pancreatitis. It put his little system into a meat grinder and I had no choice but to have him euthanized to end his suffering.
If you have a pet with special needs, specifically in the case of diabetes, it affects your life a lot more than it does your pet. I tailored my life around making sure he got his insulin shot every 12 hours and was eating healthily for almost a year. Chewy made this process of caring for him so much simpler since I knew I could rely on them to get me his food at a fair price reliably and any (the 1) mistake was proven to be handled quickly and taken as seriously as it should be. I would definitely recommend doing business with Chewy for any pet needs.

Once again, Chewy has gone above and beyond to make sure their customers are taken care of. I have a set auto shipment of canned dog food that ships out every 4 weeks. This past shipment that was sent out in November 2019 was somehow lost and never arrived at my home. I contacted Chewy and without missing a beat, I received an email back from customer service within 10 minutes saying they were so sorry it never arrived and that they were rush shipping my dog food that very minute. This is the second time Chewy has rushed to assist me with an order and I greatly appreciate their dedication. I will always continue to praise them!

My recent order included a bed that was supposedly shipped separately as the rest of the order was delivered. I noticed the tracking for the bed, which was late, said it was delivered. It was not. I was home and would have seen/heard the delivery person. It was absolutely not delivered by FedEx even though they say it was.
My first attempt at fixing with online chat utility "Joshua **" I was left hanging, he said he was looking up but never came back. Finally I tried again and another person helped. I have a been having a regular monthly autoship for some time now but that is ending. I have had 3-4 issues this past year and all of them have been the result of FedEx, from tossing and damaging packages to now lying about delivery. I have deliveries 4-5 days a week all UPS or USPS and never have issues, just with FedEx. As long as Chewy continues to use FedEx I will get my monthly pet supplies elsewhere. I will also take every opportunity both online and off to share my opinion and experiences relating to this.

I felt that I should do a follow-up. Unfortunately, our cat's prescription cat food still did not arrive from Chewy. Furthermore, I could not speak to a representative from On Trac, the delivery service, they were having technical phone troubles. I did call and complained to Chewy, as well as many of their other customers did. Our cat needs a prescription in order for me to purchase his food. Our cat is in renal failure, so his food is really important to help maintain his health. Our cat's food is difficult to find locally, so I order it. Chewy is in Nevada, close to our home, so our cat's food is usually delivered quickly within two days with no problems: however, recently I did start to have problems, so I did let Chewy know.
Original Review: Dec. 11, 2019
I live about 4 hours from Nevada, and it now takes about 5 days for delivery. When I called Chewy about why it is taking so long for my orders to be delivered, they have many excuses, but as I clearly explain to Chewy, I do not want excuses, I need my cat's prescription cat food. I shopped with Chewy because in the past I was able to receive my orders within 2 days and Chewy had great customer service, but now it appears Chewy does not care as much. I looked into why my experience with Chewy is now different, and it appears Petsmart is now the parent company. I love my animals, so I need to find a company that goes the extra mile for my cats. Unfortunately, it is not Chewy any longer.

I ordered December 1st. Dog food and some treats. I was going to be out of dog food in about 3 or 4 days. I waited till the 4th and still no dog food. I track the package and it said it would be delivered on the 6th. So I went and bought some food from the store. The 6th rolled around and still no food. Checked tracking again and it now said the 8th. I called Chewy and the lady said there was nothing she could do because it was Fedex fault. I cancelled my order and she said it would be 3 to 5 days to get my money.
I looked the next day and the order still was not cancelled and now the delivery date went to the 10th. I called back and finally got the order cancelled. Now I have to deal with upset stomachs on my dogs because the store doesn’t sell the brand I got from chewy. Now I have found it on Amazon for the same price and guaranteed one day delivery. Chewy really should have just reorder my food and refunded the money for the hassle but no they would rather just lose a customer.

I have been using Chewy for over a year now. I live in Pennsylvania and I'm located about 20 minutes from one of their warehouses and about one hour from another warehouse. Usually my orders have been received within two days of placing my order and sometimes they miraculously have arrived within 24 hours! Not this time. This time I placed my order on December 3. We ordered items for a foster dog we were picking up on 12/6 along with some food for our other dog as well. It said it shipped from Dayton, OH on 12/4. The tracking showed it would be delivered on 12/6. The morning of 12/6 the tracking changed and said it would now be delivered on 12/7.
I hopped on the chat and was told the shipping was backed up due to the holidays. I asked why this wasn't stated somewhere on the website home page or even when placing my order. She said she was sorry and it should surely be there by end of day 12/7. Well I waited until about 5PM on Saturday and still never received anything. I checked the tracking again and this time it just said Pending and no date given for delivery!!!?
I went back on the chat and asked what the heck was happening and explained my predicament with the foster dog not even having a bowl to eat from and having to share with our dog because of the late shipment. Again, I received apologies and was told shipping was delayed due to the holidays. I was refunded for the food I had to purchase locally which is why I gave 2 stars for my rating instead of 1.
They should not advertise 1-2 day shipping if they cannot in fact do it. Amazon hasn't been having any issues getting my orders delivered in 1 day or 2. So what gives???? I really believe they need to let people know due to high holiday volume they cannot ship in the normal time frame so plan accordingly. It's people's pets that are relying on these orders! I'm contemplating every ordering from them again.

I ordered dog food from Chewy on 12/1/19. It stated that it would ship in 1 to 2 days. So I expected the food by Wednesday, December 4, 2019 since I ordered it on Sunday. The food did not arrive on Wednesday. Nor did it arrive on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. In the meantime, I had called Chewy.com 4 or 5 times to see what was going on since my previous experience had been good with no problems in delivery. I also had emails with tracking promising the food would arrive on Saturday, December 7, 2019 when it finally had shipped. It never arrived. I had another email stating it would arrive on Sunday, December 8, 2019 and again it never arrived.
When I called Chewy.com this morning, December 9, 2019 - I was told that the tracking there said it was delivered to me at 9:41 PM on Sunday evening (December 8, 2019) which it NEVER was. It also listed that the delivery was pending in another spot. Chewy.oom was unable to help me with this and could not guarantee a thing for me. They asked me if I called FedEx but never offered to call FedEx to see what the problem is. I would think after all of this trouble, they would call FedEx and get some answers for me. Seems that this company is terrible and I guess I will have to go back to the store again for the food rather than ordering from them. I would NOT recommend!!

I have bought from Chewy for about two years. In the beginning I had a few problems with the items not having any packing in them and things being crushed. They finally started using brown paper sack material which helped some. I learned that to keep my dry food and bird food safe to set up a separate auto ship from the canned cat food. They did and it was OK until last four months.
Last four months the cat food and the dog canned food have been crushed in all the cans. They are dented extremely bad. I was told that they sent back skids of the dog food because of this. Well I got 24 cans of it and 18 were dented beyond belief. Well I should have been happy that those cans were dented no worse than they were as I got the auto ship cat food cans and they were crushed beyond anything I had ever seen. 36 out of the 48 of mine were unbelievable. I do not know about the other 48 that are moms as I do not dare open hers until she gets them and they may be as well. But how can you crush cans that are shrink wrapped and in the center of the box even?
Took many pictures and sent them. Never got a reply. So I called and by then I was good and mad. My other auto ship that I contacted them and ask to send both 4 days earlier has never shown up. They showed it was shipped on Wednesday Dec 4 but FEDEX said they did not have it and it showed up on FEDEX site as picked up from them on Friday Dec 6. Now it is sitting in Walton KY and I sure don't live in KY and don't know when I will get the shipment. So much for early. They say it is because of the weather. We have nothing but a little rain once in a while. Weather is not even noted on FEDEX that it is a problem in this area.
So getting every can and nothing that is the same vendor for them it is three different ones I find it hard to believe that they would all be dented this bad and they blame it on the place they get it and try to blame FEDEX which I took pictures of the box on the dog food and it did not have the first dent nothing to blame FEDEX on for this. When you are getting cans out of the middle of a shrink wrapped box how can that be the FEDEX people. It can't.
So I sent them the pictures at 9:30 this morning, never heard a thing and I called them at 4pm. They want to send another shipment. I said no, I am not ordering from them anymore. So they said they would refund my cat food and have not said a thing about the late auto ship other than the weather excuse. Shame that this use to be a great company. Now that someone else has it it has gone to crap.

So, on Dec 3, I ordered my dog some food and some other stuff so that my order was over $49 to qualify for the free 1-2 day shipping. Yeah!! So much easier than driving to the store. Dec 5 rolls around, and I check the order status, since I just put the last bit of food in his dish and I want to see if it gave a time window for delivery. I find out, it hasn't even shipped!! Of course, I sent my car to the shop and it wouldn't be done until the next day. I live in a rural part of the world, so the store is not within walking distance, there is no bus, or Lyft or Zipcar or Postmates or anything like that. So, I am stuck. My dog ate hamburger that night, which he appreciated until the next morning on the walk.
Anyhow.. I digress, when talking with customer service, I was escalated to a supervisor, who found it funny that I asked her to explain to my dog that he had no food. MY DOG HAD NO FOOD AND YOU SAID YOU WOULD DELIVER IT TODAY, BUT YOU AREN'T AND YOU THINK THAT IS FUNNY???? Needless to say, I flipped out, and asked to talk to her boss. I was transferred to a woman that was very understanding, said she was the manager, that person reported directly to her and she took this very seriously. I bought all that crap. The next day, the order shipped, it says it is supposed to arrive on Sunday, but nothing gets delivered on Sunday here, and I got my car back and got the dog food from another store. I hope what I ordered wasn't too close to the expiration date.
So, today is Saturday, I still don't have the dog food from Chewy, but I get a personalized Christmas card, designed to look like it was hand-written (font was quite impressive), but this just set me off because I now have a useless Christmas card that marketing thought was more important to get taken care of than to update their website to say something like "due to holiday overload, packages may take more than 1-2 days" or to change their shipping process so something that might be time-sensitive like food or medicine goes out on a priority. PLEASE NOTE - I am NOT angry at the delay, I am angry that they continue to say 1-2 days when it is not.
Anyhow, I called to complain and for someone to explain to the marketing department that this card being more important than making sure the website was updated was stupid. I asked to be transferred to a manager since I didn't trust the supervisors after the laughter at my dog's hunger... That is when I was informed by two separate people that there are no managers, it is just supervisors. So, the woman that almost had me convinced that all the bad stuff was just an anomaly in their process and she would take care of the supervisor that reported to her, a manager was doing nothing but lying to me as well. There are a lot of things I can tolerate in a world of bad customer service, but blatant lies is not one of them. Not another red cent of mine will ever go to this company and I will be sharing this information with everyone I know (all of whom have pets).

Usually Chewy is very good about shipping and delivering within two days, but with the holidays I wasn't too concerned about the extra shipping days (also why I ordered early).
Since my order has been to more places on the eastern seaboard than I have, I called their customer service this morning to be told that the new "estimated" delivery date would be Friday. Now for those of you who don't know ferrets are imprint eaters that have a very high metabolism and require food 24/7. If the food doesn't get here by Friday it may not arrive until Monday leaving my ferrets to starve over the weekend.

My 12 year old boxer sadly suffered with horrible food allergies. He was allergic to chicken, beef, rabbit, kangaroo, pork, rice, potatoes, peas, corn, wheat, etc. To make matters even harder, once we found a food that worked for him, it would work for only about 2 years until that made him sick, too. Even veterinarian-prescribed foods made him sick! His doctor told us that we would be lucky if he lived past 7. Our sweet dog lived until 12, far exceeding the typical lifespan for a healthy boxer! I give a lot of the credit to Chewy. Not only do they have expansive dog food options, they have filters that help you easily find what will work for your dog. There have been several times over the years that I've been trying to find a new food for Diesel, only to find it didn't work after a few days of trying. In each instance, Chewy refunded me in full and told me to donate the remaining food, which I always did.
Recently, we sadly lost our sweet Diesel. He was having digestive issues again and, the morning of the day he died, I ordered a new food from Chewy that I hoped would work. The next day, I emailed them and asked them to cancel the order - it would be far too painful to see it. Chewy wrote me one of the most thoughtful, kindest emails I've ever received - definitely the kindest email I've ever received from a company. They offered to be there for me if I ever wanted to call and share stories about Diesel. Who does that??? Furthermore, the food had already shipped but, they literally tried to get the truck to stop from delivering it to my house. They refunded me in full. If that wasn't enough, they sent flowers to my house with a very thoughtful note! Chewy does not feel like a company, they feel like a friend. I cannot be more grateful for the wonderful service they provided during Diesel's life and their thoughtfulness following his death.

This is for the entire company. I have used the Auto-ship feature for a few years. 2 weeks ago, I had to put down my cat Rags due to kidney failure. She was 19.5 yrs old and we shared 18.5 of those years together. I cancelled the auto-ship and told Chewy why. Well, on 26 November 2019 I received a bouquet of flowers from Chewy with condolences for the loss of Rags. Never heard of this before, but it shows the type of company chewy.com is.

I have called customer service with a problem a few times and was always satisfied with the outcome. But when I called last week to cancel my auto ship because my dog had passed away unexpectedly the person on the other end of the phone (Christina) was so kind and caring. She not only cancelled the auto ship but she refunded the order I had received a week ago and then today I received flowers from her. I am so lost for words about this company and the great service that is giving to the customers. Thank you chewy.com and Thank you Christina. Dana. Mom to Drako. RIP 11/21/19.

I started using Chewy.com over a year and a half ago. I unfortunately lost my dog, but already received a big order for her food and treats from my autoship. I called chewy to ask if I could return the unopened items. The lady was so sympathetic and empathetic towards me it was amazing. She then even told me that chewy would reimburse me for my full order. I couldn't believe it. I was very grateful. But chewy didn't stop there. I came home a few days later to find flowers at my house from chewy stating their condolences for the loss of my baby Lilly. Thank you chewy so much for valuing your customers.

I’ve used Chewy’s Customer Service several times now and I have to say that they have been wonderful every time! In an age where customer service is frequently lacking in most companies, it is a pleasant surprise to deal with people who really do their best to help you in a kind and friendly manner. For this reason alone, I would recommend Chewy to anyone and will continue to use them.

I've been using Chewy for a year now and their customer service STILL astounds me to this day. From our first purchase with them chatting about my new puppy to just yesterday... I ordered food and opened the packaging just to find out my dog is allergic to one of the ingredients. I called Chewy and WITHIN THREE MINUTES the team member had refunded me the money, told me that she would hate for my dog to have a tummy ache, and encouraged me to donate the opened food to an animal shelter near me. All of this without hesitation! AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, I placed an order with them for another bag of food and it was delivered to my door in less than 24 hours. Chewy is an amazing brand that not only does incredible charity work, but genuinely cares about their customers. I will never use another pet supply platform for my pets' prescription, dietary, and toy needs. THANK YOU CHEWY!!!

Buyer beware! When you place an order with this company they put a pending hold on your order for the full order amount rather than just taking payment. Then they ship parts of your order and charge you separately for shipping and for each amount. So while your pending funds are still holding, they keep charging you again for the full amount plus more shipping. There is zero notification that this is how they operate. I will never shop with these deceitful bastards again!

We've had dogs/cat for decades. I used a competitor (but who don't carry dog food) for decades. Their reputation is great. Never had a problem with them in all these years. BUT, I prefer Chewy.com now. My friend has a lot of dough and can afford to go online and order whatever she wants. I'm not in the same financial position, so I was incredulous Chewy was going to be affordable. My standard order is flea/tick and heartworm meds. Getting dog food at a price I can afford became tough and I was very concerned about shipping costs. I reluctantly gave Chewy a try for all the things I need. I'm really glad I did.
Chewy's prices for meds are very close to the website I've used for decades. I compared them to several websites before using them. It's all on auto renew. I'll get notification an order will be sent so I can easily cancel it when the items are no longer needed. Customer support has been amazing and fast. There aren't any tricks to contacting them (as there are on other sites). I rarely (if ever) give five stars to companies but Chewy.com is easy, super fast, has great customer support that they really deserve a top-rated review.

I have been ordering food, treats, and accessories for years. I have to admit the customer service at Chewy.com cannot be beat. I have only had a few incidents that I needed to contact them but they are always very quick to respond and will correct any issues even so far as providing refunds when the problem was not actually their fault. I won't buy my pet supplies anywhere else!

I called Chewy.com on 11/17/19 the day after our family suddenly lost our sweet 11 yo Lab names Macie Lou. I was exhausted and heartbroken. I inquired how I might be able to return the items that I had just received only a few days before. The lady in customer service could not have been more kind, sincere and compassionate. She cried along with me and offered so much comfort. She refunded my items and asked me only to donate them to a shelter to help other dogs awaiting their forever homes. I was so grateful for her time, and sincere comfort from her.
Then on 11/19/19 I hear a knock on the door and I received the most beautiful arrangement of flowers from Chewy and the representative that assisted me. I am just completely humbled by this lady and Chewy. I have never written a review but this amazing company and representatives need all the credit in the world. I just wanted others to know what a wonderful company this is that not only cares for pets, but the people who love them. Thank you Guadelupe and Chewy for making a difficult loss and heartbreaking event more bearable. ❤️

Over the past year, I have ordered numerous products from Chewy. The reason that I strongly recommend them:
2. The times that I misordered and called in to place the correct order, Chewy has not requested me to return the product, simply donate it to an animal shelter -- something that I strongly promote.
3. Once you know how frequent you need dog food, you can set up an auto-refill and obtain a discount.

I thought it was me at first messing up the autoship dates but when I took a good look at them it was Chewy's fault. They dont know what they're doing, neither do they care. My furbaby takes an important heart medication called **, come time to autoship Chewy runs out of it, what??? A big billion dollar business running out of a heart med. There was no call from Chewy to apologize or give me an alternative. I had to scramble to my Vet to get a few pills to cover him. Then I noticed the pills were back in on the Chewy website but they did not ship them out to me but planned on the next month shipment to late.. What... I called them up and got a gal who yawned her way through it and could care less if my pup lived or died she was just there for a paycheck, I asked to be put through to a Supervisor after 10 minutes I hung up. I'm going over to Pet Meds screw Chewy. My furbaby suffered at the hands of these callous monsters who only care for the DOLLAR.

Chewy advertises delivery to your front door. I order 48 cans of dog food at a time. Chewy use to deliver to my door. But not anymore. I live in a high rise condo building with 3 high rise buildings in the complex. Chewy left the 48 cans in front of the mail boxes on the first floor. I called and complained. There are three stairs from the mail boxes to the elevator. Then the next time it was delivered to the condo office in another building. I called and complained. They gave me a replacement order and a $50.00 credit. The replacement order was also delivered to the condo office in another building. I called again. I was told FEDEx can deliver wherever they want. So if I lived in a house FEDEX could deliver the dog food to the house next door. Is that right Chewy. Just in case Chewy doesn't know this 48 cans of dog food is heavy! Going elsewhere...Bye Chewy.

I ordered a car Dog Carrier but upon arrival, it didn't fit. I "chatted" with Chewy and they said, "keep the carrier and donate it to a pet rescue" and they will refund my money to PayPal. I thought that was very cool and donated the cage to a local pet rescue. After waiting about 4 days, I reached out to Chewy to inform them that the refund never hit PP. They said there was a problem on their end and would resubmit. Another week goes by and no refund! I chat again and they say they are new to PP and will cancel and resubmit. After almost another week and many, many emails with incompetent staff and supervisors, I had to file a claim with PP. It took PP less than 24 hours to rule in my favor and give me a refund. I informed Chewy and they cancelled my account!!!! Go somewhere else!!!

I bought a Hurtta warning suit for my dog. I got the suit and it was too big for my dog so, I called for a return slip and was told that they just refunded my money ($63.50). When I asked about the return slip I was told to donate the suit to my local shelter. This warms my heart knowing the suit will help out a dog in need. Thank you Chewy.com. I will be a customer from here on out!

I have been a Chewy customer for 5 years and am constantly amazed by their excellent customer service. Whether it was a product sent to the wrong address (which was my fault not Chewy’s!), a change in my auto-shopping pet food order due to my pet’s health or any other issue that might arise, Chewy has more than made it right — frequently when the problem was not of their making. On top of the excellent service, the representatives are lovely people to interact with and clearly love pets. I can not recommend Chewy highly enough.

I was promised a prescription dog food for 2 senior labs. Aged 14 1/2 and 10 1/2. I first want to say that I am a customer for a very long time time with Chewy. I have had delivery issues with them for over a year. I tried ordering even earlier so I would have the many products I use from them including prescription medicine, probiotics, heartworm medicine. I have tried everything to get my products on time but they use FedEx which is the worst as they tell you a day and many times it will come so late at night, after 8 pm that it means an additional day.
I have held back many times from writing a review and given them ample time to correct their issue. They have failed not 1 or 2 times but how about more than 12 times. I would recommend that any one using them to switch back to their local stores and get rid of Chewy. They do nothing but tell you how sorry they are but do nothing to correct their issues. I am a senior citizen so I thought that Chewy was a good option so I didn’t have to run to the store to haul in 30 lbs bags of food along with going back to the vet to pick up the medicine and prescription food from them. They refuse to change their means of shipping no mater what the problem is. Go back to your local pet stores or vet and forget about using CHEWY!!!!

Chewy is by far the most understanding and giving company. Their customer service is by far the best and they are available 24/7. I will forever and always order from them! I had to return a jacket for my dog and order a smaller size and they gave me the option of donating the jacket to a shelter or another dog in need. They truly care about their customers and animals. Again, I will be ordering from them every time because of their excellent customer service.
