Chewy is more than a company I buy from. I had recently told Chewy our beloved cat, Butterscotch had passed over the rainbow bridge. We had him for years and ordered the prescription urinary wet food our vet recommended. Chewy was very quick to get an order delivered quickly to our home. Imagine my surprise when I went to the door and there was a young man standing with a bouquet of flowers. The card said it was from Ammicka from Chewy. I feel as though this company is much more than a retail store. Ammicka and Chewy is my friend.

I have been ordering from Chewy for years. I can only say, that the customer service people I have talked to about orders and been really nice and helpful to me. I love the service, because the prices are really good and so convenient. You get 5 percent off your order if you autoship. I normally get my orders within 3 days of my order, which is nice. As for the products, I am really happy for them. It is so nice to have the orders of canned pet food and bags of food delivered to your door. It is so much easier to get the heavy bags from the porch into the house than from the car. Can pet food can be very heavy, as well. In closing, I will be ordering from Chewy a long time for my pet needs. Thanks to a great company.

On Jan 21, my dog's insulin was auto shipped. It was suppose to be overnighted and arrive Sat, Jan 22. That did not happen. FedEx held it in Memphis for 3 days for no apparent reason. (Btw, FedEx has been completely unreliable lately with this important delivery). With no delivery update, I contacted Chewy yesterday early afternoon to see if they could help. A very nice CS agent talked with the pharmacy and said that they would expedite a replacement but if I happen to receive that original shipment, and I felt it was safe, go ahead and use it for my dog. If I didn't feel safe, just throw it away.
So today, I get an email from FedEx that the original order is on the truck and will be delivered today. Great! Well, after not receiving it, I checked the tracking. Chewy STOPPED the delivery and requested the medication be returned to them. I checked my order status (replacement) on Chewy's app and it says "preparing to ship". SOOOOOO, not only have they NOT shipped my dog's replacement insulin, they ensured that I won't receive the original order. This is unacceptable and I will NEVER give them another penny. I did talk to a pharmacy supervisor and let her know that lack of insulin could make my elderly dog sick or even cause his death. If that were to happen, this company would be responsible and I would hold them liable.

I had been ordering my sweet baby girl a special food from Chewy for several months and it was so easy and always on time. One day she passed away, she was a rescue and very, very old, so I had to cancel the subscription for her special food. The very next day a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a heartfelt, sweet note was delivered to my office. I was so shocked and could not believe they took the time to send me such a gift. Thank you for always being there for us and we will be back as soon as I can rescue another sweet baby.

I have purchased my dog and cat food from Chewy for many many years, but not once has the food product I use most often ever go on sale unless in 5lb bags, I always purchase the largest 24 to 28lb bags for I have an 80lb and a 10lb dog. I am becoming very skeptical that Chewy might just be keeping track of each customer’s brand preferences and never show that product for sale when that specific customer logs in. Call me paranoid, but year after year it’s the same…Mainly only the less expensive products ever go on sale.

I will cut companies some slack due to the weather and absence issues. That said, Chewy is just can't seem to get ADM Senior Glow delivered to my home anymore. This morning, I contacted ADM customer service and they provided an alternate distributor, but it is already too late for me to get the feed and I am in the process of switching to another that I know is available locally in many stores where I live.
I have been trying to order ADM Senior Glo horse feed from them since Jan 4. That order is in limbo. Chewy shows it shipped on Jan 7 with ETA of Jan 9, which is still greyed out meaning they do not have a record of it being delivered. One replacement order was allegedly shipped and received. I was at home when I got the notification and went outside, checked all around my house and yard, checked with my neighbors. It looks like it was delivered to a completely different state. I called and they created another order on Tuesday, Jan 11.
Even though they claim the item has shipped and is on its way, if you check the FedEx details, only the label has been created and FedEx says the information will be updated as soon as they receive the item to ship. So when you get the notice from Chewy, and they say the item "shipped", they mean the label was created, not that the item is in transit. I am supposed to receive the item on Saturday, Jan 15, but FedEx shows they haven't even received the package yet.
Chewy's only solution to orders that never ship or get "stuck" or mis-delivered is to create another $0.00 order that also goes into a "label printed" limbo that never goes anywhere. I had to take off work yesterday and make an emergency trip to start mixing in another feed I can get locally because switching feed too quickly for a horse can result in colic. I am done with Chewy, and also with the brand of horse feed.

Been using Chewy for as long as I can remember. Never had any problems but today they lost a very valuable customer!! I submitted an order on Dec 22, 2021 and it is now Jan 11th and I haven’t received my order. I repurchased it just because I needed soft senior food. I also called Chewy and spoke to a MANAGER named KAT. I provided her with a order# and all the info I needed and I’m being called a liar and told I never ordered the item!! I informed them on my app I can prove food was ordered and my bank account that money was withdrawn!! Still refused to help me or replace my items!!
I have 5 dogs, 1 squirrel, 2 bearded dragons, 2 leopard geckos, and a ton of fish. Needless to say how I was treated on this call Chewy lost my business!! I DO NOT deserve to be treated so horribly and accused of LYING when I had all the proof on hand!! Horrible customer service and because how KAT the customer service manager treated me I am forced to leave this review, and will never shop with them again.

For the past 5 orders, my Chewy order either takes 10 days to receive or I have to request a replacement order as the original one is lost. If I had to depend on Chewy to feed my Mals and the two cats, they would starve. I have given them numerous chances and am done doing business with Chewy. My shipment today was yet again, lost somewhere in the Chicago area. I would not recommend using Chewy for your pet's needs at all.

On August 4th 2021 I lost my Little 4 legged Daughter, Titi (Maltese 16 years young). I miss her ever so much...Titi was the Heart Beat of this Home...She brought Life, Happiness and a Feeling that I just can't put into words. Not a Day goes by that I miss her...I look at pictures...videos and for a split second it helps and then reality sinks in.
I am writing this today January the 5th 2022...I'm still not even close to moving on from her departure but I need to do this because it's the right thing to do! Most of us are quick to write Negative Reviews (I'm included) yet we don't take the time to acknowledge when someone does something nice for us. Someone knocked on my door a few days after my Titi passed...It was a delivery of a Flower Arrangement for Titi and my Family from Chewy...I never ever expected that...but here was a gesture that moved all of us deep inside.

My debit card had been hacked and I had to get a new one and because I have auto ship I forgot to give the new one to Chewy. As soon as I saw the email that my debit card had failed I called them to give them my new card number. I received notice of shipment that was going to be delivered on Tuesday January 4th. I immediately thank them for the delivery and told them that Riley would be without his only and favorite treat for one day and before I could blink they had sent another shipment order notification that it would be delivered on Monday and that Riley would not have to go without his favorite treat at all. I also had an experience when my 17-year-old cavi died when I canceled my autoship and I was completely shocked when I received the most beautiful bouquet of flowers from Chewy! God bless this company and your customer service is the finest of any place I have ever ordered from. Never hesitate to get products from Chewy!!

I ordered & paid for cat food. I'd been shopping with them for a while. My package was due Friday, December 31 2021. I received an email from them stating it had been delivered that morning. I called our Security office from work. They had no record of it. They searched twice. I had several chats & a phone call to Chewy while I was at work. I was told by phone & in a chat if it didn't show up by 8pm they would re send it. Since they didn't try to help track at Fedex, I had to do that also (again from work). They had no idea. I called them back at 7pm & was told they would re send it. I didn't hear from them by phone or email.
Today is New Year's & I spent a few hours running to different Stores. Couldn't find much....It's a holiday. I contacted Chewy earlier today to find out if they resent it.... No they didn't. Turns out they refunded me & they're out of stock. Here I was at work doing their job as if I work for Chewy. They're out of stock on almost everything but they told me & I recorded the call....they would re send the order but of course they can't. They wouldn't do anything to help me file a claim with Fedex. I guess they think it's self service now.

Don't misread. Chewy.com as a company is great. No complaints on the company itself. The FedEx shipping they are using on the other hand is making me regret my decisions. FedEx had multiple excuses when my deliveries aren't going to show up almost monthly. Again I say. Chewy is great but they need to switch shipping companies cause I can see it causing then much revenue loss in the future.

I have been using Chewy for years for food and prescription deliveries for my Rudy Bear. Not only is their pricing the best, but they deliver everything extremely fast. I have always received ample communication if things are out of stock or delayed. I've accidentally ordered the wrong food and when I tried to return it, they told me to donate the food to a shelter and gave me a full refund. Every experience I've had with them has been overwhelmingly positive.
My Rudy Bear, unfortunately, passed away last week and I missed an auto-ship to cancel. When I realized the order was placed, I reached out to see if I could cancel the order. Michael immediately shared his condolences and canceled the order as well as all future auto-ship orders. He was kind and sincere at a time when I needed it most. A few short days later, I received a surprise package containing a bouquet of yellow roses from Michael and Chewy. My husband and I were blown away by this gesture as it was totally unexpected but so very appreciated. We are not anywhere near ready for another pup, but when the time comes, we will come back as loyal customers. I also highly recommend Chewy to all of my friends and family for their pets' needs.

I'll try to keep this brief. Recently we lost two of our fur babies Mugsy and Hazy about 2 months apart. So we decided we did not need our autoship order from Chewy. So I canceled it online and sent a message explaining why we canceled. Well to our surprise yesterday we received a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a heartfelt condolences note. We were blown away. We definitely recommend them and will use them again in the future. Prices are comparable to Walmart and service has been topnotch for the couple of years we used them. I have pictures of the flowers and the note. Not sure how to add them.

I cannot express how amazing this company and the people working at this company are. There was a huge ordeal with my order (at no fault of Chewy, it was actually my horrible vet's fault) and they handled everything and were so kind and helpful even at times when I was freaking out, scared for the well-being of my pets. They are just so kind and sympathetic. I was calling and calling pretty much every day and everyone was so kind and understanding and helpful. I literally spent 10 minutes trying to find a place to write a good review because I am so impressed. And today I just received a call that my biweekly order might be delayed because of holidays and that they are willing to ship it early. Like that is so great of the company to call me and let me know ahead of time and try to help out. This is an amazing company with amazing people and I cannot recommend these guys enough!

Gotta give Chewy.com a huge shoutout. Several days ago, a subscription delivery of dog food from Chewy showed up at my door. I had neglected to cancel it after my 13 year old Maltese, Lici’s, passing the previous month. I called customer service and talked to “Kevin”. He couldn’t have been nicer and was sincerely empathetic to my loss. He refunded my purchase and suggested that I donate the bag of dog food to our local shelter in Lici’s name. THEN, a few days later, a beautiful flower arraignment arrived, from Chewy and Kevin, expressing their condolences. Damn. This is how you build loyalty in your customer base. I can never forget the kindness I felt from this big company that could easily, easily overlook my trauma. They took the time and spent the money and I’ll be grateful to the very end.

I recently removed my cat from my pets profile list at Chewy.com because she passed. When I did that, I was asked the reason why. I replied that my cat had passed. A week went by and I noticed I had received a refund from Chewy for some meds that I had purchased for my cat before she died. Chewy had quietly refunded that purchase on their own and without my request. I am blown away by the kind and thoughtful refund gesture made by Chewy.

Customer service that sticks to a script over chat and isn't helpful. I placed an order and noticed that even though the item hasn't shipped, the price has gone down. When I utilized the chat service to both check in on why it hasn't shipped and to see if a price adjustment was possible, I was told that it was out of their hands. Very unclear that 3rd party vendors can sell on the Chewy website and the fact that I can't even cancel the order to take advantage of a sale is ridiculous. I would have to wait to receive the product, then initiate a return to basically receive a price adjustment since their policy is so strict. No ability to simply cancel the order despite the fact that the order has not even shipped. Complete waste of time. I am officially done purchasing with Chewy.

I had placed 4 orders with Chewy, however, 2 of those were for a senior pet that died shortly thereafter. Chewy not only refunded the money but had me donate the food bought for him to a shelter. Added to that they sent us a bouquet of flowers in his memory. Then I placed 2 new orders for kittens but got adult cats. Again, they fully refunded my money and asked me to donate the food. No questions asked. I am 60 years old and have NEVER dealt with such a great company. Just when I thought customer service was non-existent they proved me wrong. I no longer buy food locally at big box stores it all comes from Chewy.com. Great job Chewy!!!

Dear Chewy, I am a veterinarian who actively supports you and your services routinely but in my personal and professional life. I recently ordered a product online and had my staff approve the prescription item the very next day. I waited for the approval email but never received it. I then waited a few days and the rest of my order (all non prescription items) were delivered. I logged into the portal on Sat to confirm my order was approved. I called customer service and was advised by 2 different reps that my order was cancelled because my vet didn't approve the product. I was then told that it was cancelled because it timed out after 5 days (also not true because the order was placed and I called within 5 days).
I understand mistakes happen but 1. Please take accountability for your mistakes and stop blaming the vets who support you. 2. Make it right. Don't just argue with me then offer me 10% off after I tell you what shoddy customer service you are providing. By the time I asked for some kind of compensation I was already so frustrated I vowed to never order scripts from you again.

Signed up as a new customer with Chewy.com on Friday 11/12. I ordered some items as a one time purchase and then signed up for their autoship option for my cat's litter and food. On their website, they have advertised that it's 1-3 day shipping. I received a portion of my items on Sat. 11/13 but some items were missing. Checked my order on my account and the remaining items are scheduled to arrive on 11/17. So their guarantee of 1-3 days shipping is a lie.
Secondly, Sunday night I was checking my bank account online and noticed many charges from chewy.com. I had not ordered anything else besides my original first order. Confused, I call their customer service and was told that chewy.com will do what they call pre-authorization charges when items are shipped from their warehouses. The rep told me that since my items were shipped from multiple warehouses, that I should expect to see many charges, but that they would "drop off" in a few days. So I have all these chewy.com charges to my account, along with the initial payment that was taken when I first made the purchase. None of these charges add up to the original purchase amount. I've heard of gas stations doing pre-authorization because you will not necessarily know how much gas you will get. But for an online pet store to do pre-authorization charges is ridiculous. Canceled my auto-ship order and will never order from them again.

I don't write many reviews but I want people to know what a wonderful company Chewy is. We have been using them for around 2 years. We normally shopped at Pet Smart but my daughter used Chewy for her dog food delivery. I went online and found out the food I bought was cheaper than at the store. Plus the toys are a whole lot cheaper and my animals love their toys. I like that you can set up auto-ship and not have to worry about placing an order each month. It's really easy to add to your auto-ship if you want to order a toy, extra treats, or a bed they have it all. I usually get my shipment the next day. Although I have had to wait for 2 days before. Shipment is truly extra fast.
One month we received our dry dog food, and it had an opening in it. So we called customer service to find out how to exchange the bag. Unlike other companies, there was no wait to speak to a customer service representative. The representative told us not to worry about returning the bag. To throw it out and they would get us a new one out that day. They also refunded the price of the food just for the trouble. Tell me what other company does that.
My 84-year-old mother started using Chewy because of the great service I had received, plus she didn't have to go out each month for supplies for her dog. She has an older dog and ordered a set of steps to help her get up on the bed. These were not cheap stairs. They were made of wood and cost over $100.00. Well, I went over to put them together for her, but they were way too big for her bedroom. So we called Chewy and explained the situation. They immediately refunded my mother's money, (she had it in 2 days) and told us to give the stairs to someone who might want them or to a local animal association that could use them. I recommend Chewy to everyone I know or talk to that has a pet. I love Chewy and their customer care is wonderful!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Thank you, Karen & Chewy for for making us feel like part of the family. I would never expect this much empathy and compassion from a corporation. I’m so grateful that their are still people like Karen out there!

Love the idea of this, but your delivery company is horrible and I watched this on my camera. The delivery guy throwing them up on my deck then stacked them side ways and 2 boxes crushed and two rolled down the stairs, taking out flower pots, one hand rail and loosened the other and a few deck boards throwing them and busted open. The driver left them there busted open at the bottom of my stairs and left walking around it to leave, crushing more flowers. We notified Chewy within minutes and assured me last week that FedEx was going to call in 24 hrs, they must not have watches. Cause they sure don't know what time it is so we canceled our subscription to chewy again, yes this is our second time. Get a new delivery and I will come back.

I had recently ordered more "potty pads" because she had been missing the litter box, but now had no need of them.
I called Chewy to see if they would refund our purchase and spoke to an angel of a customer service representative named Haley (I believe she was in Texas). She could not have been kinder or more empathetic. She refunded our previous order in full and told me not to worry about sending back the product, but to donate it to an animal shelter. She said Chewy considers their pet owner customers as extended family and wanted to help by making the disposition and refund of my unneeded items as easy as possible. And within the week, a beautiful vase of flowers arrived at our door from Haley and Chewy with a handwritten note expressing their condolences and sorrow at our loss.

We ordered meds for my senior dog to deliver to an air bnb, Chewy.com emailed to advise us it wouldn’t be delivered because there was a problem with address. But continued to charge us for it. Followed up, they just claimed it was delivered. The next time they were careless was when they delivered an empty box! It was not damaged or resealed. They failed to pack it. Reported, and they did what they are good at. Ignore you until you stop following up.
This third time the delivery didn’t turn up, not even an empty box. Reported, and all they reply with is “it was delivered.” We are stuck without the meds for my senior dog and we are out of pocket again. Don’t let their marketing fool you. They do care about their customers or our pets. Be prepared when something goes wrong, they will ignore you until you give up. I will no longer shop with them. I’m done.

Not big on writing reviews, but this company deserves one. I started using Chewy.com for my pets medicines about a year ago. I order the meds and they would reach out to the vet for approval and shipment. Never had an issue - meds were always on time - basically what you would expect from an online pharmacy. Now for what I didn't expect. My fur baby passed away recently at Blue Pearl Emergency Room (another amazing company) from complications with CHF. 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.
I received a phone message from them stating how sorry they were for my loss and that they had issued a full refund for the meds currently in transit. I was really surprised and appreciative. Two days later, I had a vase of white roses delivered to my door with condolences from Elliott at Chewy.com. What online pet store does that?! I am amazed at the compassion and customer experience from this company. I will NEVER use another pet store again.

I was told their computers do not allow them to accept a replacement for merchandise that was purchased longer than a year ago.
I asked to speak with a manager, as it was almost exactly one year and one month since I purchased the set. The manager told me the exact same thing. I did my own research on the PetSpy website, and found I could not replace the remote battery because it's built into the remote, but they are made to last at least two years. I told the manager this, and he still would not replace the set. I've purchased several things from Chewy, but I won't again. I had just set up an auto-ship with them for dog food, and I canceled it.

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.

So I ordered my dog's prescription medication online with them 4/4/21. I received no information from them during the week, so I assumed everything was good. I then contacted them on 4/9/21 to see why I haven't received it. They said they hadn't gotten approval from my vet. Called my vet, they didn't get a request. Chewy say they fax the requests in, but in reality, they use an online portal system. I asked if they re-sent it when they didn't get a response, and they said no. I then had to request them to do it manually while I had them on the line.
After hours of this they finally sent it (for the 1st time, they lied about it). My vet approved it as soon as they got it. Now they say they will ship it within 24-48 hours, then it takes 3-5 days to get to me, so another week minimum. Meanwhile my dog is out, so I have to go in person to get it locally and pay double.

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.

I had never ordered anything from this company, before signing up for autoship for Dr. Harvey's raw dog food. Before I got the first bag my dog passed away unexpectedly. I received the bag the day after he died. I emailed customer service and told them what happened and they credited my account for the food. They were so sympathetic, I was totally touched. After several thoughtful emails, I received a bouquet of roses with a sympathy card from customer service and Chewy. com. When & if I get another dog, Chewy definitely has my business. I can't say enough good things about this company. Thanks for caring.

I ordered ** 16mg for my pitbull and 5.4mg for my Dotson. My vet charges over $200 so I went to Chewy.com which cost a lot less. They have been on those meds for about a month the first batch they was still scratching and biting a little bit. The second batch are complete trash. I emailed Chewy about it. I had no luck there. They asked me to return the order for a refund, which I can’t because the babies used it all. That’s how I know it does not work. My babies skin is completely red from scratching and biting a lot so now I have no choice but to go back to the vet. When they took the first pill from the vet I can see the difference.

This certainly isn't my first order for Chewy but this is my first review. Their Customer Service is UNTOUCHABLE! I have never in my entire life met a nicer crew than those who work for Chewy!! The friendliest, goes above and beyond for everything you need. I've ordered the wrong size before, I've ordered the wrong product, had issues with a card - Chewy took care of everything for me. As a dog owner and dog lover, I wouldn't trust any other company/group of people but Chewy to help me take care of my babies!

I have been a loyal customer of Chewy.com for over a year. I have never had any issues with the company until now, I have also never returned anything before. I purchased a dog coat and paw cleaner for my pup in December which fit her to large. I ordered the smaller size immediately, smaller meaning size large, even before returning the xlarge one expecting that I would just get a refund when they received it. It is now, February and have not received my refund. All I get from the people who answer the phone is the refund is pending for 3 weeks now. I have phoned customer service numerous times to no avail.
Terrible customer service, no one is able to assist you. When you ask to speak to a manager, they say the manager will call you back in 24 hours. It's been 14 days no call from anyone. Really, really unhappy with the customer service. No one knows what to tell me about my refund. I can't get any answers to any questions. NO MANAGEMENT IN THIS PLACE. All I want is my refund for the items that I sent back. Think twice before shopping here especially if you are not sure about the item you are purchasing. You may never see your money again, after you send it back.

I had to say goodbye to a fur baby after placing an order for additional prescription meds for him. I emailed Chewy to let them know I needed to cancel the open order and wanted to return the order I just received. Amber wrote me a very sweet email being very sympathetic and refunding not only the meds I just ordered but some of the food that I had previously ordered. When I returned from picking up my sweet baby’s remains from the vet, someone rang my doorbell. Amber sent flowers. I was blown away by the letter and now flowers. That just shows how much the staff at Chewy care about the animals and families that they serve.

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.

I literally just made an account here so I could review this company. They have went above and beyond every step over the last year. When shipping was a mess back in March 2020 they communicated amazingly and always made sure we got our products. We've had a couple packages say they were delivered but not and literally within 20 minutes they responded to my email and said they would send out a new package. They sent my entire order again even though it was just 1 out of 2 boxes I reported missing. I had a box of cat treats arrived broke from transport and I messaged them if they could add a little more padding next order. Not only did they but they sent me 2 more boxes of cat treats even though I was not even requesting a new one. Their customer service goes above so much that I'm taking time out of my busy life working full time and having a toddler to write this. This company rocks.

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.

I was ordering American made chicken jerky chews for my dogs to the tune of 4 bags per month. I decided not to autoship because I didn't trust the company yet. Good thing I did, as I watched the price raise $2/bag on each order. Within a month and a half the costs increased 25%, from a start of $30 a bag, close to $40 a bag. It's likely that wouldn't have stopped either. I would never order from this company again until they ditch their price gouging habits. I go local now to avoid the internet wherever possible. I contacted the jerky company to let them know and asked if I could order direct. They suggested Amazon. I replied "no thanks", and have ditched the treats altogether.

I have used Chewy's autoship feature for years but cancelled today. I guess I was spoiled with 3 day delivery but this last one is supposed to be arriving 6 days after I ordered. Since Chewy says delivery in 1-3 days, that isn't quite holding up their end of the bargain. In fairness, I did order on Saturday, but even taking the weekend into consideration, that still doesn't meet their stated criteria of 3 days. Also, they offer no other shipping carrier than FedEx which is notoriously unreliable in my area. I have found the same product on Amazon for $10 less and with Prime shipping, faster turnaround time.

She then told me that I would be refunded for the 3 unopened cases of dog food and to just donate the food to a shelter. Wow.

When I started using Chewy they were good. Stuck to their word 2-3 day shipping and never really any problems. Now I have gotten damaged products. Open boxes. Longer deliveries too. They sent almost a week ago. Kitty treats they sent to me have taken almost two weeks to get here and still have not been delivered and now I have cancelled my last order over taking entirely too long to get my fur babies their food. Even more ridiculous almost a week to get my money back. Absolutely unacceptable. This place has really gone down hill with their company.

My Dog was diagnosed with a severe heart condition. I was using Chewy services prior to this. Upon diagnosis, Chewy.com claimed they could contact my vet, get the prescriptions and prescriptive pre cardio food prescription in a timely manner. Long and short of it, they never contacted my dogs vet for a few prescriptions which are crucial and detrimental to her life. My vet confirmed they never had a such requests. To top it, I cannot give her her meds without her cardio food.
Now, I was promised to have her food today... Only to find out FedEx will not deliver until January 6th.... This means I should starve her and not give her her heart meds that keep her alive. This company is a business... nothing less, nothing more. Negligent, careless, heartless, unethical to say the least. Terrible terrible company. Just another business in it for the dollar and full of malarkey when it comes to answering questions and following up. Will never use them again, and will let everyone I know to not use them. Don’t walk, run from this company if your loved pet has special needs.

I have always been very satisfied with Chewy until now. I ordered dog food for my puppy last week and was given a delivery date of 12/28. It did not come yesterday and when I called this morning the customer service rep was very uncaring and rude. Her supervisor was also very rude and unhelpful. I could not get a delivery date from them. They kept saying it should be here today but it really should have been here yesterday.

I've been using Chewy exclusively for over 3 years and EVERY time I speak with a rep, it's like talking to a friend. Their reps make the company shine, with awesome customer service and a total willingness to help in any way possible. Delivery is also top notch. We get heavy stuff like 40lb pails of litter, cases of canned food delivered right to the front door-instead of dealing with in-store or curbside pick up issues elsewhere. (Plus, It's bliss not having to haul it all from the garage up 2 flights of stairs). Really, start using Chewy and you'll see for yourself how great of a time saver it is to get EXACTLY what you want, for a great price, in a fast way and right to your door.

They do have an autoship option however I don't like using those type of services. Yesterday I found I mistakenly failed to order her food and she was down to approximately 2 more feedings. While at work I went on and ordered after 4 pm. I did not ask for a rush or anything however the following day FedEx delivered her food at 1030 am. I love their shipping.

Horrible experience again with Chewy. Placed an order, was 2 weeks late and never arrived. Was sent to the wrong part of the country and then to cover for themselves, Chewy removed my ability to even track the package. Wouldn't communicate they lost the package until I reached out twice. At which point they offered a refund. Waste of time to buy from them. Buy local or even at companies like Petco or better yet just buy from Amazon. Chewy is a bad brand.

I have never written a review for a company before, but also not sure I have ever been quite as impressed with a company's customer service, compassion and kindness as Chewy.com. Their customer service and quick reply to any issue is commendable, but it was the sensitivity and kindness they showed me when I told them that our beloved dog had passed away so I needed to cancel her medications,- not only did I receive what seemed like genuine heartfelt messages of sympathy, they sent flowers to our home?? What corporate company does that for any customer? We have another dog, but I don't know if they know that - so as far as they are concerned I may have been a customer they would never have heard from again, but I can not speak highly enough of them...
