I really love Chewy. I think it's great that you can order something for your fur babies and have it delivered so quickly to your door. However when it comes to dog food I have to say Pet Supermarket has them beat! I get 1 free bag for every 10 I purchase for being a VIP. I have 10 dogs and they all eat the same food therefore it pays for me to buy it at Pet Supermarket especially being it's the same price.

I have dealt with customer service a few times and it has been amazing each time. The first time they called me because I mistakenly ordered dog food and set it up for auto-ship (which would have left me with two bags instead of one). They called me an hour after ordering to verify, and corrected my order that day. The food arrived the next day. I also recently tried ordering dog RX via the site. They contacted me ASAP when they saw an issue with the vets approval. The responsiveness is ridiculously phenomenal. The reps are always kind, caring, and super helpful. Switching to online ordering has been the best decision.

Chewy is bar none the absolute best company I have ever come in contact with. They will go to no end until you are satisfied. The prices the offer cannot be beat. Any customer care rep genuinely cares about their customers. They stand behind their product offerings, and they will 100% assure you are happy. I will absolutely keep using Chewy's services for as long as I can see. As long as the model stays similar to what they have going today, this is going to be a huge industry shake up. I don't see myself buying my pet products anywhere else. Chewy just makes more sense. Why wouldn't you want free shipping? You don't have to leave the house, and you don't have to pay grocery store prices. What's not to love?!

I would like to applaud Chewy. They care so much for the animals and the humans that represent the animals. I am all about rescuing dogs and if you have ever had the chance to experience the gratitude a dog gives when they feel comfortable with you and your family you would too. I have only used Chewy a few times however I have had such good experiences with them. I have no idea why I do not use them more.
Being a rescue mom is rewarding but can be expensive. Chewy helps lighten the cost and the customer service representatives are very understanding. I ordered a Kong for my new pup and unfortunately I ordered the wrong size. I contacted customer service to return the Kong and reorder a new one. The customer service rep answered the phone on the second ring and I could understand her. She was very understanding of my situation and was able to look up my purchase from 2017 and one in 2018 to see what size I ordered in the past. She processed everything and reordered the correct size for me very quickly.
I was waiting for the instructions on how to get the wrong one back to them in order to get the refund when she surprised me. She told me not to worry about returning the incorrect one. I am just supposed to donate it to a local shelter or rescue. My heart is very happy since I feel so strongly about rescuing. I am extremely excited to donate to my local Weim rescue. Thanks Chewy for the excellent customer service and your loyalty to our pets.

I love Chewy.com! 5 stars only because I can’t give more. Excellent service, fast accurate shipping, great price. Thank you so much Chewy! I have been using Chewy for several years and Chewy is always as ordered, delivery is fast and product is packed well and never damaged.

I am so glad I joined Chewy. I love how you can manage your autoship to when you want it. You can delay it or order now, whichever one works for you. Recently I moved and after changing my address online (not my autoship address) my order went to my old house. They quickly responded back to my email and immediately reordered for me and sent to my new home at no charge. I thought that was very nice considering I would be returning to my old home in a week where I could pick the package that was sent there. They were so nice about the whole situation!

We have been Chewy customers for years. During that time, I have made several mistakes with my order (ordered wrong electric collar, shipped items to the wrong address). In each instance, Chewy has either replaced my items or offered a full refund (not even a credit). The best part is that communication with them has always been pleasant. This company really knows how to treat their customers. In addition to the customer service, the products we receive have been at similar or lower cost than competitors. While their packaging is sometimes in smaller boxes, I prefer this to a larger box filled with air bags, especially when the box is already large enough to hold 40+ pounds of dog food.

I purchase both a good dog food and OraVet chews from Chewy.com. Have been doing so for many months and because I live in the middle of nowhere Arizona I stay one month ahead on supplies as there is no local purchase place. This week I ran out of OraVet chews and went to the pantry only to find out I have none. The next box of dog food is there but no OraVet box. I immediately checked my bank...yes...I paid for the delivery that was to have happened this month and when I checked with Chewy.com they could even tell me the time the order was delivered. Yet I had none. It would be really unlikely for someone to come onto my farm and up to the house to steal a package but not impossible.
The nice folks at Chewy.com understood my concern and said they would get an order of the OraVet chews out to me immediately (they are due to arrive today). My whining (at the moment) dogs have only had to miss two days of their favorite afternoon treat and soon all will be well on my little farm again. Chewy.com is not charging me to replace the missing order and my normal monthly order will arrive when it is supposed to as well. Chewy.com gets my vote for being decent folks!

A little over a week ago, we lost our sweet little Maltese of 16 loving years. I contacted Chewy to stop my future auto ships for his food. They were so compassionate and caring on the phone as I informed them of our loss. They insisted on crediting our last shipment and told me I could donate any remaining items in his name. Today, my husband & I received a floral arrangement from Chewy expressing their sympathies for our loss of our little guy. We are so touched by their thoughtfulness and compassion during this very hard time. It truly has meant a lot.

I recently purchased a cooling mat and bandanna for my 15 year old small breed dog. I purchased these because as my little guy has gotten older he has begun to have breathing issues on hot days (and yes, he has gone to the vet and the vet confirmed it is heat related). I ordered a few other items, as I was in need of these cooling items ASAP, to get the $49 needed for free 1-2 day shipping. SADLY, the web page does not tell consumers that FedEx doesn't do pickups for them Saturday-Monday, and if you order on a Friday morning (my order was placed around 9am) you most likely won't get your items until the following Tuesday or Wednesday!! Had they advised of this on their web page then I would have looked into Amazon, or other sites, that could have me the requested items the next day. Completely false advertising on their site, and in the future I will get my items elsewhere.

So Chewy apparently had a server crash (not admitted by Chewy to me, but to my vet) and lost a significant amount of data/communications. Then this happens: I ordered some prescription food for my doggo and it went dead silent and was notified that the order will be canceled. I called Chewy and was asked to talk to my vet for not approving (they didn't want to call). So I called vet and was told it was approved a long time ago and an email was sent. I called Chewy and was told it was not there and was asked to talk to my vet.
So I did indeed, and asked my vet to fax AND email AND CC me. The email was sent, the fax was sent. I called Chewy to see if they got it and was told 'No, but you need to reach out to your vet.' I called my vet and then they told me they will email it the 3rd time. Once again I called Chewy and was told they don't have it and I need to email my vet. At this point I asked the rep that I'm done going in circles, doing the same thing over and over to get the same result (and be continued to do it again). I asked that they resolve this critical communication failure directly with my vet so they can fulfill their duty as a reliable distributor. And lo and behold, I was asked to email my vet. Not so efficient, is it? I humbly suggest these mantras for their management, as their current system is designed rather to cultivate frustration and failure, instead of problem-solving, which is what was needed for my case and others as well, I assume.
#1 Customers do not and should not do your job for you. I spent hours, called my vet 6 times and Chewy 7 times for their system failure. Chewy invest heavily into customer service and you often don't have to wait more than one 'ring' to get your call answered. This is their greatest asset as well as their strategy of surviving (and dominating) the fierce battle of pet e-commerce market. But it's all for nothing if the customers end up working for them as well due to their lack of efficiency.
#2 The communications between the rep and the pharmacy is OK, but nowhere near ideal. Fax goes to pharmacy, the emails to the vets can come from both pharmacy/customer rep, phone calls are passed between those two parties and the record system is managed by the reps, but the pharmacy cannot be reached by clients etc. What is this? If I can't talk to the pharmacist, who talks to my vet, how am I supposed to even solve your issue you've created even if I wanted to?
#3 The data the supervisors see is NOT streamlined with the data from the customer rep. How was my problem 'resolved'? I talked to the supervisor and was told 'Oh hey, we do have the approval form!' Immediately after I was told that the approval form has not reached the server after 3 emails and 1 fax over multiple days.
#4 Reps can't do anything besides making/canceling orders and sending simple emails and that is NOT good. Reps are supposed to be problem solvers. I don't expect an insurance agent-esque track/investigate/file/report full shebang but I'd love to be offered more solutions than doing the work for them because they are not authorized to do so.
I hope it helps, Chewy. - A customer and a concerned shareholder.

My car broke down so I started ordering pet food online. I foster plus have my own animals, right now 7 cats, 5 kittens, 3 dogs. Chewy is consistent in their efforts. Either the order is incomplete and I have to call and complain to get the rest of what I paid for, or it arrives a day or two after it is promised. I ran out of kitten food, delivery didn't show up the day it was due so I called Chewy. I was given lame excuses by customer service lady and her manager. No apology was ever given to me. I had to walk 2.4 miles each way to go to the pet store which caused me cooking dinner to be late which caused my husband and kids to go to bed late. Thanks Chewy for your consistent lack of honor and responsibility and for the rude customer service. My pets would sarcastically thank you too for their food arriving late if they could. No treats for Chewy. Bad Chewy. Bad.

If I could I would give it a 10! I have been using Chewy.com for a while now, for the past 6 months mainly for auto ship insulin for one of our cats.

I had forgotten to cancel the auto ship and when I received the notification that the shipment is being prepared I called Chewy.com and it was not problem to cancel the order. The representative was really nice. But that's not all. 2 weeks after the phone call we received a cute flower bouquet with a card expressing her condolences on the passing of our little one.

I placed an order for NexGard. They sent the request to my vet late in the day, it was Thursday, if I remember correctly. On Saturday, they said if they didn't get approval in 48 hrs they were cancelling my order. I called the vet Friday and they said the request was in the doctor's inbox. They aren't open on weekends, so this morning I got an email from Chewy stating they cancelled my order. Never again will order from them.

I seem to have a problem with the delivery carrier they use. I have received emails stating unable to deliver due to incomplete shipping address, need access code to enter the development, or address is the clubhouse. Each time I had to contact Chewy for them to handle which they do in the must cheerful way. When the package is received, the address is correct. Maybe Chewy needs to look at the delivery carrier they are using.
The other problem I have is ordering the prescription food for my dogs. I will receive an email from Chewy requesting I contact my vet to pick up the prescription for the items and email it back to the Chewy pharmacy. I will call my vet’s office and let them know what I need. My vet’s office will advise me of the conversation they had with Chewy which is not all what Chewy email said. I have to call Chewy again to instruct them to call the vet to get the approval. Though the young lady I spoke to at Chewy was pleasant, I had to cut her off a couple of times to let her know she is not listening to what I am saying. One my vet does not accept faxes, and she kept saying she wanted to fax the request to them.

Sadly, my cat Alex passed away last week. He had been unhealthy for his almost 8 years of life, but I loved him and took care of him as best I could. A week before he passed, I had ordered a case of Blue Buffalo Duck Pate from Chewy. It was the only thing he would eat in his last couple of months. Not only did they refund my entire purchase including litter, they sent me a lovely floral arrangement in memory of Alex. I have never seen a company with better customer service! I have told so many people about this remarkable company! I still have a cat, very healthy and hungry, so of course I will continue to order all my pet supplies from Chewy!!

I placed an order for four very expensive pet feeders on 6/12/19 at Chewy.com. I checked on the order the next day to see if I had any information on when it would ship and had nothing. On the 14th, I still hadn't had any notice of shipping so I went to my account to check it again. I couldn't sign in. It kept saying that either my password was wrong or my account was disabled. I reset my password six or seven times and still couldn't log in. I tried live chat and they said everything was working perfectly and I would need to call customer service to get my account working again.
I called and told the person on the phone that I just needed to get into my account so I could check on my order. She said that my account had been deactivated and my order was cancelled (without notifying me) because they suspected fraud. Fraud! I placed an order on my account, using my credit card with a bill to and ship to that were the same as the address on my account and they suspect fraud? That's pretty stupid. The person on the phone apologized profusely, reentered the order, and confirmed that everything was good. I thanked her and hung up. Five minutes later I get an email that said my order was cancelled.
I called back and spoke to a different person. She told me that the order was cancelled because the system suspected a problem. The order was over $500 and needed bank approval to ship. She told me to call my bank and get on a 3-way call with the bank and Chewy to confirm that the credit card was good. Um, no, that's also stupid. It's a credit card, either it will go through or it won't. She told me that this was standard for all orders over $100. Really? Really? These feeders are each over that. I can't believe that every person who wants to order on has to get on the phone with the bank just to process a simple order.
I asked to speak to someone above her. A nice gentleman who said he was a supervisor got on the phone and apologized for all of the problems. He reactivated my account, again, and reentered the order. He promised that the order went through and I would have the product the next day. Great! Towards the end of the next day, I still hadn't received my boxes and tried to log in to my account. Guess what? My account was deactivated again! I called yet again. This time, the person I talked to told me that yes, they were stupid and I had been lied to many times.
This was only my second order with Chewy and the first was around $60. Since this order was nearly 10 times that amount, the system flagged it as a pattern anomaly. Even she agreed that one order does not constitute a pattern, so that was just dumb. She reentered the order yet again and promised to keep an eye on the order to make sure that it didn't cancel again. I checked last night and it shows that it has shipped. At least it didn't cancel. However, it didn't actually ship, they've just made the label for it. According to FedEx it will deliver on 6/20, so don't believe the 1-2 day shipping they brag about either. I'll be interested to see if the feeders actually show up and if they are in good condition.

I just saw that PetSmart had purchased Chewy. Now I realize why Customer Service has taken a hit. I had a Nutro dog food that I had purchased for years. It had been discontinued so I had asked for a similar product. They sent me a 3.5 oz product that should have 13.2 oz container. (No Common Sense) When I pointed out the error, now the policy is, "I'm Sorry." Then we found another type & they charged my card immediately without my permission. (No Common Sense.) Back in the day before they were purchased by PetSmart they would have replaced the order free of charge. So much for a good solution gone bad. Rotten Tomatoes big time.

I have used Chewy since they first became available. Everything was perfect until a few weeks ago. I started receiving more and more cans of cat food that were seriously dinged. This is not a FedEx issue because the FedEx box is undamaged. Of course they always offer to replace but that isn't helpful when you are counting on quality products to arrive on time to feed the family. The last shipment was particularly damaged. Customer service told me to give it to a shelter if I thought the food could be used. Why would I give damaged cans to a shelter? Doesn't the quality or safety of food matter for these animals in Chewy's eyes? What a shame that Chewy has lowered their standards. I'm not sure if they are buying seconds or tossing the cases of food around with disregard to damage. A previously weekly shopper with Chewy, I now only purchase litter from them. Back to PetSmart every week for food where the cans are consistently undamaged.

I just need to say that the customer care/service at Chewy is phenomenal. I placed my autoship order early because Guen, my adorable tiny black kitty, has decided she no longer likes chicken and liver (she never really liked it but it's healthy so I kept buying it but now she wont touch it). So I needed to process my order a few days early so I could get her her favorite Ocean Fish food. Well I placed the order and immediately realized I didn't change the address in my account. So I hopped on their live chat and spoke with a rep who not only was interested in my "fur babies" but had some expertly placed dog and cat puns to boot. The whole thing was not only pleasant and left me with a smile on my face but only took like 3 mins for her to update my account for me.
This isn't the first time I've dealt with them - we had an issue a while back when our dog food was out of stock and they handled it just as well. Even shipped it for free once it was back in stock! I highly recommend shopping with Chewy. We get the same food cheaper through them than anywhere else that our pet food is available which is a huge plus - but their customer service is the cherry on top :)

Chewy is one of the best sites I've ever shopped on in terms of customer experience and service.

Recently one of my packages never arrived, so I had to call customer service. I didn't even have to wait on hold to speak to a customer service person, and the person who helped me was friendly and efficient.

Can't seem to complete a shipment. In the past, Chewy has been good. Recently, two out of three orders have not been shipped properly. I understand sometimes there are shipping issues, but Chewy is terrible at correcting things when they go awry. In the end I get a refund, no attempt to save my business. Gone are the days where they really cared, they have gotten large and their entire operation suffers as a result. I will nurture the relationships I have locally to buy the products.

Chewy.com is the best business I have ever had to deal with when I have a problem. I thought Amazon was the best, but Chewy is even better. They go a step farther in making their customers happy.

They faxed my vet for authorization for a medication to a confirmed fax number in their system (not one I provided) but decided my vet's handwriting wasn't neat enough so they didn’t ship the medication. Instead they refaxed it to my vet which my vet thought was just a duplicate fax b/c they had already sent in the authorization. Vet had to call them to get them to fill the order (Chewy's never reached out to them). Now 5 days later they are finally shipping it out but are they expediting due to their own inefficiency? Nope? They don't even remotely care IMHO.
The man on the phone said they typically take 3-4 business days to even process a Rx. I would not accept that processing time for my children, so why should I accept that for my dog. If the vet is prompt in response as mine was, the turn time to process the order and get it shipped should never exceed 24 hours. I'd never ever ever ever trust them with filling another Rx for me again. At least 1-800-PetMeds will overnight it if they cause a delay and even sometimes when it is the vet's fault it was delayed.

I had purchased a CareLift Rear only lifting harness for my black lab with hip issues. We opened the box, but we never had the chance to use it since my dog sadly passed away. I called Chewy to see if I can send it back for a return. The customer service was so very kind! They issued me a full refund, and told me to just donate the product to a shelter. I was surprised they didn't want me to mail it back. The service representative was very compassionate and kind. Thank you Chewy for your kindness!

My beloved Lab, Bailey, passed away last week. I had been purchasing her special prescription good from Chewy.com for last 6 months. I always had timely delivery and correct orders. They made it very smooth by contacting my vet and helping me save time. The price was fair and reasonable. They actually refunded my money for the last shipment which Bailey would not be here for. I also received a flower bouquet expressing their sympathy. This is kindness at its best. Few understand the grief that is experienced with the loss of a furry friend. They helped make my difficult time more bearable.

I have been ordering dog food from Chewy for months at a great price even cheaper than Walmart. I received a shipment from them right after my sweet golden retriever had died and called them about what I could do with my unopened bags and they first were so sorry for my loss then refunded all my money for that order and asked I give the bags to a shelter. A few days later I received a beautiful box of a dozen roses with a vase. So sweet of them. They also sent birthday cards to my dogs. Prices are great and so is the customer service! A very caring company and so nice I don’t have to lug big bags of dog food around the store anymore. Thank you chewy for everything!!!!

My new order came yesterday, and today flowers arrived....Ashlie at Chewy had sent them with deepest sympathy for the loss of my sweet Barton. How kind and thoughtful!!!

I’ve been using the auto ship program through Chewy.com for a couple of years now. I buy feline prescription food, regular food & pet products. Their prices are excellent, shipping is phenomenally fast, but more importantly is their customer service. Recently my cat died. I had an overabundance of his special diet food. I called customer service & spoke to Tiffany. She was so sweet & compassionate. She refunded me every penny for not only the unopened cartons of food but the opened ones too. I didn’t even have to return any of it. We agreed I should donate it.
A few days later I received a package in the mail. It was a dozen long stem roses! I had no idea who they could be from. Alas, there was a sympathy card expressing the heartfelt loss for my cat from Tiffany at Chewy.com. I was so touched!

Went to bed, got up and had fraud department on my credit card texting and emailing and 2 missed calls. Called them immediately, said Chewy.com had charged 4 more charges between 2:24 am and 7:00 am, totaling more than $825.00. And I told them I had not authorized that. So credit card cancelled my account and said new ones would be here tomorrow, which means I have to call everyone that charges my utilities, my gym membership, at least 11 people to call. Called Chewy.com, and complained, told me to wait for a manager, all she said was that the way they do business, and those charges would come off in 5 days.
Told her that's not right, I already paid $1110.64 in full, and she said that's the way they do business, when they have stuff shipped from other companies, they charge your credit card for every call they make to have stuff shipped, and charges will be credited after 5 days. She would not put me in touch with the owner, a VP or anyone, said she couldn't. I told her that's basically fraud, as have already paid for all I bought. Said I would get no reimbursement for all the trouble I have went through, and when I get my new credit card, to have credit card company call her, and she would credit the extra charges back to my account. I would defiantly not recommend buying anything from this site, and you will experience a huge nightmare. When you pay someone in full for what you bought, and then without your permission, charge multiple more charges to your account without permission, this to me is just downright fraud. BEWARE.

Now since they are advertising and more people know about them their customer service is too busy to handle orders or questions. Items came damaged more often since they would pack a 40lb bag of cat litter with a plastic great had and pack heavy cases of wet food with bags of dry food. I would open the box and the bags were ripped. More than half the cans dented or even leaking (oh the smell).

I order my cats Prescription cat food quarterly from Chewy. I was impressed and recommended them to anyone with a pet! I was completely satisfied until now, the first time I EVER made a non-prescription purchase and my card was overcharged and twice over two days! I made a purchase Last night for $41 total, 6 items. 5 would be shipped in one package, and one item would be shipped by itself. I didn’t think anything of it because I order stuff from Amazon all the time and it’s delivered in separate packages.
This afternoon, the next day, I received an alert from my credit card company for a charge for a little over $5 from Chewy, on the same card. I logged into my account on Chewy and there was no other item purchased nor other order. I then immediately logged into my credit card and saw the $41.01 charge pending and then the $5.06 charge pending. I called your customer service and got a woman who didn’t seem to understand or comprehend what the deal was. She said the charge was because the other item, the one item shipped by itself, is being shipped from a different warehouse so Chewy put a hold on the card for that item again plus tax, she said it should drop off my credit card after perhaps 48 hours.
The thing is I had ALREADY PAID for that item, how can you charge a customer twice for one item because it’s being shipped from a different warehouse but once it’s delivered the charge should drop from the credit card???? Then the rep told me that the charges add up to the $41.06 which I had to explain they don’t and she finally agreed they don’t but she didn’t understand what the big deal was. It’s $5.06 and it’ll drop off my account in roughly 48 hours. After explaining over and over why I was frustrated. I finally had to hand the phone to my husband who was on the phone with the poor girl for 45 minutes trying to explain to her that yes it is $5 but a pending charge takes away the available credit in the account. She fought and fought with us.
Meanwhile I called my credit card company and told them the charge was not made by me and they told me that a pending charge can not be disputed until it is posted that the merchant has the chance to cancel the transaction, but they would make a note. So my husband tells Chewy this and they say they cannot cancel the transaction unless they talk to my bank. You cannot cancel a $5.06 charge that you wrongly charged me unless you talk to my bank?
Ok, at this point I am fuming. I call the credit card company back and explain what has developed and they transfer me to a supervisor who can talk to Chewy. Suddenly, the woman rep for Chewy says she can no longer handle our complaint and needs to talk to a supervisor. My husband says to transfer him to the supervisor, she FINALLY does. The supervisor says he cannot talk to the bank, it’s a pending charge, and that this thing actually happens on their end OFTEN and we got someone who wasn’t aware of this glitch. He says in 48 hours the $5 charge will be removed and he will credit us $15 as well.
It’s sad that this is a common thing for your company and you GET AWAY with charging people’s cards twice and OVERCHARGING them! Yes it is $5, but what if someone used a debit card and you took away their available funds and they overdraft? Would you be responsible for those fees because YOU wrongly charged someone? Fix your glitch, fix your customer service. Taking my money & business elsewhere. Will not be recommending your company nor speaking highly of you. Run away from Chewy. Cancel, cancel, cancel!!!

Ordered a monthly prescription for my 12 year-old wolfhound and it was shipped for a two-day delivery. Somehow, the shipment has gone to 3 different states, but not the one I live in. I called Chewy to tell them that my meds are one day late and that I need them NOW so they said that they would ship a second prescription at no charge. I was later told that the replacement shipment would have to be approved by my vet (the same vet who already approved the first order that was being replaced). I called and told the customer service rep. that this is ridiculous since it is now going to be 4 days late at best and the order has already been approved. Asked for an overnight shipment and they said they didn't do overnight shipments.

I have been a customer of Chewy.com for a couple of years and have always appreciated that I can reach someone 24/7 and they are always so friendly and helpful. But the other day, they could have knocked me over with a feather. I had to put my little dog to sleep and needless to say I'm devastated. When I called Chewy to cancel his auto-ship medications Molly was so kind and sensitive to the pain I was going through. Two d6ays later, I arrived home to find a beautiful bouquet of flowers! I am shocked and humbled by Chewy.com's compassion for their customers. This is the kind of customer service you just don't see anymore. Thank you Chewy! I am a customer for life and so many of my friends are joining me based on your kindness.

My wife just read me a note from this company that she received in response to a product issue we had. Our very large (140 lb) dog is getting old and she is not moving as gracefully as she once did. At the advice of our Vet, we decided to try some fish oil capsules to lubricate her joints. What we quickly discovered was that while the oil may have worked on her joints, it certainly lubricated her GI! She quickly became a "Blazing Saddles" tour de force. While there was absolutely nothing wrong with this product at all, it was clearly not the right thing for our dog. After a very short time, we discontinued using it. My wife, who normally doesn't do this, sent a note to Chewy wondering if maybe she could send the unused back for a partial refund, given that it was kind of expensive.
What she got back from them was almost unbelievable in this day and age. Chewy sent a note back saying that our charge card account had been credited back for the full price and they suggested that we maybe find someone who could use the oil or donate it to a shelter. They didn't even make us return it. I wish I could shake someone's hand. This is old school customer service, the way I have always run our family business. I hope this review finds its way to others who may be considering doing business with these people. I urge you to give them a chance. This was impressive. Well done Chewy. You have a lifelong customer.

I have been ordering from Chewy for about a year now. Their customer service is usually great (I’ve only had one unhelpful Customer Service agent in a year — everyone else has been awesome) and the speed in which they ship is excellent. However, my dog has been diagnosed recently with early onset of hip disease. She’s in pain. The doctor gave her a prescription for an anti-inflammatory that noticing helped her and told me to order from an online vendor because it’s cheaper than getting it through the vet and she’s basically going to be on it for the rest of her life (she’s nine). He recommended Allivet but after doing research I decided to order from Chewy. Their prices were the same but Chewy didn’t charge extra for shipping and I know they ship fast.
It’s been three weeks now and she still doesn’t have her meds. She’s in pain, and I’m now extremely frustrated. I have called now five times. Originally they had problems getting in contact with my vet for approval (for about a week!) so I called and asked them to fax the order to him again and they did. Great, I was told that they got approval for the meds he told me to order weeks prior. Then my order was canceled because I ordered too few pills. So after another phone call the customer service rep reordered for me on the phone. Then THAT order got canceled.
When I called a third time the girl was largely unhelpful and just kept repeating herself saying she had no idea why the order was canceled because the pharmacy canceled it (so they had no idea and I never received a phone call or explanation either). Then she told me she needed permission from my vet AGAIN even though two days prior he confirmed the prescription (which was confirmed to me verbally by the customer rep who talked to me two days prior). This was a Monday, so I told her to make sure to fax my vet Tuesday morning because he doesn’t work Mondays (great, had to wait another day to get a second confirmation of meds for my dog. Wonderful). She said she would do this and call me Tuesday morning.
Tuesday came and I received no phone call from Chewy but I got a confirmation email saying my order was being processed. The next day, I got another email saying the order had shipped. When I clicked on the details I saw that the customer rep had sent the order to my previous address instead of my current one (I recently moved but I already received two Chewy shipments to my new address). So I called again but I was told it was too late because it was already out for delivery. The person I was on the phone with deleted my last address from my account and tried to put a reroute on the package but she wasn’t sure it would work (which it didn’t).
I called today AGAIN to inform them I still don’t have the meds and the rep said she will try to process it again through the pharmacy but it’s out of her hands because the pharmacy is “very strict” and they don’t ship as quickly as everything else. She said it might take several days more and I’ll have to wait for a pharmacy call to ensure that I’m not abusing the doggie anti-inflammatories. To say I’m beyond frustrated is an understatement. By the time I actually get her meds (if I ever do) it will be a month later. My dog is in pain and if she was human this would be unacceptable.
I’m frustrated that it’s taken so long. I’m frustrated that there seems to be communication issues between the pharmacy and other departments. I’m frustrated that my orders were canceled by the pharmacy without a phone call or explanation. I’m frustrated that the customer service rep never called me and sent the order to the wrong address (although I know she meant to help — by not confirming with me or looking closely to where my last deliveries went she sent me back a couple more weeks). I’m frustrated that all I keep getting is apologies but no one seems to be making this a priority.
I should have paid the heftier costs to another provider if it meant my dog would be comfortable. I regret my decision. Chewy is great for cookies or food that is in stock. I could never recommend the pharmacy services to anyone looking for medications for their dogs. Especially long term service like me. No one seems to care that my dog is in pain. Sure, everyone says they're sorry, but no one is helping me. I understand this was a combination of the cancellation of prescriptions by the pharmacy and the customer service rep that didn’t ask me which address to ship to, but this experience has been terrible.

I have been a Chewy.com customer using the auto-ship program for approx. 2 years now. My cat became very ill after receiving a vaccination and then required prescription food and probiotics for his tummy. The auto-ship program made it so easy to get what I needed and on time. Unfortunately my kitty recently passed away which led me having to make a very difficult phone call to customer service to cancel my auto-ship. Of course I was crying hysterically but the girl on the phone was so understanding and kind and gave her sympathies. What happened next was truly awesome. Chewy sent flowers with a sympathy card to my home! Again, I cried like a baby! What company would go out of their way to do such a kind, thoughtful and generous thing?!

I have been ordering FOOD for my dog from Chewy for quite a while now. They never disappointed me. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about MEDICATION! Something that is as important as food. (Sometimes even more important which in my case now). I was at my dog's vet office on THU when they sent the fax to Chewy with the authorization to release my dog's prescription. As of today, Saturday, my order has not been shipped. I just got off the chat with Chewy and they said that the meds will only be shipped on Monday and that I will only get it by WED. Mind you that with food, you get your shipment super fast.
The person I spoke to said that it is stated on the website that it can take this long, blah blah blah. That's not my point! My point is that: 1st: they take too long to release the order after it has been authorized. 2nd: Medication should not take this long. Medication should be shipped on weekends as well, not only Mon-Fri. Period!!! 3rd: I asked if it could be expedited and offered to pay for it and they simply said: no!
I have previously ordered medication from other companies and never had this issue. Ever! I ordered from Chewy this time because they had a better price but as they say: You get what you pay for! As of now, I have only gotten charges in my CC. So, with that said, I will not be ordering medication from Chewy again! Terrible experience. It's 2019, Chewy needs to step up their game! Other companies offer better services. If you want to receive your dog's MEDICATION almost a week after you ordered, then go ahead, order from Chewy.

Chewy contacted my vet about prescribing Ringers lactate solution. My vet does not fax so I obtained a written Rx from him and mailed it to the Kentucky address that Chewy gave me. I receive a phone call from Chewy that I needed an original Rx with vet's signature. Of course, the Rx was computer generated, but I stood right there and watched the vet sign it. All this time I am receiving emails telling me that my Rx would be cancelled in X number of days if Rx not received. Another call from Chewy. The Rx had to be sent by email from the vet office. Apparently I was not supposed to have sent it as directed originally. Chewy called my Vet who agreed to email the Rx. Chewy confirmed that he had done so. At this point, all appeared to be ready to ship.
However, two days later I received an email once again telling me that they had spoken to my vet and it was required to have my original Rx mailed to the Kentucky address. Now I am totally confused, and before I could figure out what to do next, I received another call from Chewy telling me that my vet wouldn't prescribe the Ringers and I would need to get some generic version. At this point I just cancelled the order. By the way, the Rx clearly states Ringers Lactate Solution. I say avoid Chewy Pharmacy. They don't seem to really have a clue and certainly don't communicate with other departments within their own company.

I purchased the MaxMeat product which was supposed to be small squares of jerky. When I received them, the bag had nothing resembling the photo on the website, but just a bag of crumbs. I wrote a one star review that was never published. Actually I purchased 3 different flavors of the MaxMeat, so I wrote 3 reviews, of which none were published. This is a systemic problem at Chewy. If you look at almost every product they sell, almost all have very high ratings. Only a handful of negative reviews are allowed. As far as I'm concerned, this is fraud. They are manipulating reviews to sell more products, which is unfair to consumers. I can no longer trust reviews here, so I go to honest websites and research products. Beware if you buy here.

One rat bit through my water hose on my fridge which caused a major flood that damaged my basement ceiling. Not knowing how many rats were in the box and if any were pregnant, which could cause a major infestation, we decided it was necessary to call an exterminator.

There was one time where I ordered puppy food and instead somehow managed with senior dog food. I called and was answered on the first ring, was not told to hold, and was greeted politely. I told them what had happened, and they were more than accommodating by sending out the correct food and telling me I could donate the senior food if couldn't use it which I loved.
This last order I got was smashed up by the mailing company. You could tell that somehow it had been split open and then someone had tried to tape it shut again. As I was going through it (nothing damaged surprisingly) I did notice one item was missing and assumed it had fallen out when it was smashed open. I called customer service and again was answered on the first ring at 9:41pm my time and was treated courteously and not put on hold.
I explained the problem and before I had called I noticed that the item that was missing was ironically an item I had purchased the wrong size of. I told the customer service representative and he refunded the money for the large and reordered me a medium for the right cost right then and there. It was easy and extremely stress-relieving to get it taken care of all in one go. I will continue ordering from them for as long as I have animals honestly.

My question for Chewy is why did I have to wait 5 days to find out that my cat’s medication was out of stock? Why didn’t I receive an email on the Sunday before letting me know that the item that I had on AutoShip was out of stock. I had to scrabble at the last minute to find another source for this prescription. It is one thing to be out stock in pet food but it is another to be out of stock in a medication and not give customers proper notice.

I've since read MANY reviews about FedEx, and since we get free shipping with orders over a certain amount, my only suggestion to Chewy: change delivery companies! Thanks Chewy, I appreciate your support in this matter!

I had to take the time to write about Chewy. I had an older and ill Greyhound who needed prescription food. Not only did Chewy provide fast service, but also the best price. We had to change our beloved Rowdy's food several times to managing his IBD. We also had to change the delivery address, and time in between shipments. Each change was done with kindness and efficiency. Rowdy died and I had to make his final food change to "cancel." My reason was death. I received a lovely email from Chewy and also a refund as we had nearly a new bag. A few days later, Chewy sent flowers to me and a sweet condolence. I was amazed how Chewy always went above and beyond. Thank you Chewy!!!

I have always had excellent customer service, product choices and prices from Chewy. It really is fun to shop for your pet products online and then receive them so quickly after they are ordered, for the same price or cheaper than getting them from the store. Specifically, I needed to return a product. An $18 dog bed. I put it off and finally called Chewy to find out how to return the bed. They instantly returned my money and asked me to donate the bed to an animal shelter or a place that I knew would be able to put it to good use. How generous is that, for a big company? Please give them a try. They are good to do business with and I am writing this review because I feel companies like this are the ones we as consumers should give our business to.

I have used Chewy.com for years to get my dogs prescription diet shipped to my house. It has always been very convenient to use and the pricing was always better than what I could get even with my discounts elsewhere (I work as a licensed vet tech at an animal hospital and get very good discounts). Karma was on the Royal Canin Hepatic diet for over 4 years and it played a huge role in extending her life time as well as quality of life.
When I called to ask if I could get a refund and return an unopened bag from our last autoship because I had to euthanize my poor sweet baby, not only did they give me a full refund but told me that I did not need to ship it back. They simply said I could donate it to a shelter, rescue, or animal hospital of my choosing. I am thoroughly impressed with their compassion and care over the loss of my baby and that they made it slightly easier to cope with the fact that she is gone.

So they expect the customer to pay the vet for the new prescription and the time to do it. If we have to do that we will just get our dog food from the vet.

Although a long-term satisfied customer of Chewy, ever since Petco took over, it's been disastrous! LaserShip is the only shipper they use in Massachusetts and will not change it. LaserShip has sent every delivery to the wrong address. When I complain, Chewy re-ships using FedEx, so if they can use FedEx to reship an order for free, why not use them all the time? I've complained, ad nauseam, to Chewy customer service, receive numerous promises it'll never happen again; repeat cycle for next order. Customer service sends me emails, apologies, investigation promises - nothing matters.
As a final resort, I posted my complaint on Chewy's Facebook page to the world. I got immediate response from Chewy, other customers and even a reporter. Guess who's shipping my current order? Yep, LaserShip again. I even revealed that Yelp gave LaserShip a one-star rating from customers to include their own employees, to no avail. If this current order gets sent to the wrong address again, that will be the LAST time Chewy gets my business.

Last month I decided to change my dog's food to a brand that was not carried in any of my local retailers. Chewy had it in stock, and at a reasonable price. I went ahead and ordered it and some dog shampoo. The dog food arrived, but the box was absolutely beat up, and cardboard weak from getting wet. My Shampoo was also missing. They sent me a free one within the next few days, which was great. I went ahead and signed up for autoship of the food, to come every 4 weeks. I was charged for the food on 03/19/2019, and online it said the expected ship date was 03/20/19, which was perfect because my dog was nearing the end of the bag.
On 03/22/19 I checked the status of my package, and it still said pending. I contacted customer service, only to be told that they were out and waiting for the food to be back in stock. They thankfully said they would ship a new back, but I'm still going to need to find a way to feed my dog until that decides to show up. Now my dog is out of food, and I have to try, yet again, to find it locally or switch my dog's food. I NEVER received notification that they did not have the food in stock, nor that there would be a delay in shipping.

I have tried for over a year to use Chewy.com because of the purported convenience of their promised delivery to my door and the great product selection. However, after many and repeated contacts with Chewy.com’s customer service reps, the same delivery problems have continued month after month. Although comparatively lightweight packages from Chewy.com are delivered to my door reliably, orders of over about 20 lbs. again and again have been dumped in my driveway or, as again today, dumped at a neighbor’s so as to block the neighbor’s carport. Often these heavier boxes have been damaged and are spilling pet food onto the ground, and more than once have been left in the rain in that condition by Chewy’s delivery service.
Chewy.com’s delivery service here is FedEx, and it has been made clear to me by Chewy’s service reps that they consider this ultimately my problem to solve with FedEx if I can. They tell me that they have given FedEx detailed delivery instructions and my directions (my house is at the end of a short driveway in a suburban community and easily visible from the street). Perhaps so, but it appears they have not persuaded FedEx to change its delivery practices or even to stop creating hazards upon delivery. Most important, Chewy.com does not give me the option of any alternative, safer, and more reliable delivery service. So, I have reluctantly ended my customer relationship with Chewy.com until it offers reliable and safe delivery, and prioritizes its customer relationships above the convenience of its relationship with FedEx.

I am only addressing the commercials this online retailer has on TV. The customers on the commercial all are in Love with the Fast 1 to 2 day "Free Shipping" and low prices on their products. Yet instead of being totally honest, and upfront, if a consumer needs glasses to read, and doesn't have a larger screen television, we get taken by the claim of free shipping that every person in the commercial states with enthusiasm. This is all done legally, but it is intentionally misleading, what one doesn't always notice or can't see/read is the statement in "Fine print" on the lower part of the screen. This information doesn't stand out too easily to the viewer in proportion to the whole picture. That free shipping with purchase of $49.00 or more.
Why do businesses adopt this partial form of concealment? If their prices and products are as good as they & their Customers claim, then there is no issue over paying a shipping fee added on until a certain price is reached. I went to the website to order, because the commercial drew me in, I found my Cat's litter slightly lower priced than the Mass store I generally drive out of town to. My 4 items totaled $38, and then I found that there would be added shipping. I would not have felt misled and disappointed had the company revealed the actual cost, instead of omitting this being verbally mentioned in the commercial. I would have visited the site with the expectation of needing to place an order large enough to get the break on shipping, and been fine with that knowledge.
But to find this out later, was unexpected & disappointing, I feel that Chewy intentionally designed their commercial to underplay the amount of purchase necessary to receive free shipping with my order. Don't get me wrong, I understand they need to cover shipping charges to a certain point or they would not be able to do business profitably. But as a consumer I respect & appreciate "and" will spend the extra dollars with a company whom I do not feel has misled me. I didn't place my order after all, Honestly, I am not sure I may or may not at a later date. However, if I known previously that a larger order was necessary to receive free shipping I would planned it in my budget and been ready to place my order at that future date.
NOTE: (I did call Chewy's Customer Service line before clicking on the Customer Reviews link to browse Chewy's ratings. I inquired if Chewy accepts Manufacturer Coupons? And "YES" they accept coupon totaling up to $29.99, Chewy deducts from order total (pre-receipt & Customer is required to mail in coupons on good-faith). If coupon total $30+ Customer is required to mail in coupons in advance, then order is shipped upon receipt.)
I have not found an online company who does this. This is a huge plus and will save me even more! I also asked if first-time Customers received free shipping.(The answer is NO! ) The associate who handled my call was very pleasant, she was able to answer my many questions and she was very knowledgeable regarding the various items I needed information about. Her handling of the call very much backed up what I viewed in recent customer reviews. Her respect & kindness is much appreciated. Thank you.

Because of the inconvenience and delays (I didn't receive the box until Feb 25!) the representative from Chewy told me they would send another box so that I would try Chewy again. The other box has never arrived. I asked them why the shipping was originally scheduled 9 days out when it was supposed to be 1-2 days free shipping and never got an answer for that except that they are tired of getting blamed for FedEx's mistakes. I told them it was not FedEx fault when the original invoice from them scheduled it 9 days out. I am still waiting for the promised extra box but am no longer holding my breath. Meanwhile, I will continue to order from Amazon. This is the 3rd time I have tried to order from Chewy and the second time they lied to me.

My order status delayed and never arrived. I called Chewy to request a refund of my total purchase price. Supervisor was rude, talking over me, interrupting my repeated requests for a refund, and refused to give a refund. I finally screamed “REFUND MY MONEY” five freaking times over the phone in frustration over not being heard or listened to. The Supervisor then says, “Oh I did that five minutes ago!” He then told me he’ll cancel the delivery of the undelivered order - very spitefully. UNBELIEVABLE. Chewy customer service is totally lacking in empathy, ethics, professionalism, and customer service.

Don't. The service is bottom tier, and they are just another fly-by-night "disruptive" company. Lost two packages in a row and finally getting it was an absolute pain. Never have I worked harder to get some dog toys. Their service is not good, they are all clueless. I sent in tracking info showing the order was "Lost" by LaserShip. Guy on the phone couldn't even comprehend what I was saying. Horrible. And yes, I did just say they use LaserShip. Anyone who has had a package delivered by them (if it makes it) before will know what this means. Any company that uses LaserShip is just saying "We don't even care if you get your order". I'd suggest buying pet food from one of the countless other places and not falling for their "cute" advertisements and social media posts.

I had to put my precious pug down this past week and I had an order of prescription dog food that was in transit. I called the customer service department and spoke to Juan, a customer service agent, and told him about my situation. He instructed me to accept the order, donate it to a organization that helps animals, and credited the entire amount I paid back to me. Then, as if that wasn't enough, I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers the next day with a handwritten card expressing condolences for my loss. I have never known a company that has gone that far to treat its customers with such kindness. Thank you Chewy for serving my pet and me for all the years we used you!

Why doesn't Chewy offer senior discounts? I do not want to be on an autoship program, as I don't have much money or want any auto checking as on a fixed income. Most seniors can't afford your auto ship anyway. Chewy company should really, really offer a senior discount, for the many companion pets out there are owned and pampered for almost every 70% of the senior citizen in population. I think Chewy sales will increase - in the senior citizen market. Thanks for response. I think this issue should be noted out in the reviews - doesn't offer senior discounts. Why?

Customer Service is almost extinct these days but Chewy.com goes above and beyond to extend service to its customers. I should have been ordering from them a long time ago. I mistakenly placed an order to my old address. I called and they sent the order to my new address the very next day. When you call on the phone you get an actual person, not a recording. Almost unheard of these days. A very good experience.

Chewy.com‘s customer service department is beyond exceptional. I have had many good experiences with them. When my cat died, I called to stop my cat order that auto processed every month. They stopped it for me and sent me a bouquet of flowers with a handwritten note with condolences. This is a large company that treats their customers like a local mom and pop shop would, or even better! With returns, they often refund your money and ask you to donate the products to a shelter. This is an upstanding company that gives back to their community as well as their customers. If I could give them more than five stars, I would!

I contacted customer service after discovering the item of Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat Diet dog canned food was going from $64.80 to $76.80. This item is 24 cans of 13oz cans. I have been ordering this item for 3 years. I called customer service to find out the reason for the substantial rise in cost. I was told that it was due to the market based on the pricing of competitors. Cheesy competitors raked the price of this item so Chewy did same thing. There is no posting on Chewy's Website that has this information. My impression is that Chewy is not concerned about their customers but the profit margin. I will research for another alternative.

I bought $96 worth of pet supplies from Chewy and they decided to place another pending charge $65 on my card including the $96. The "supervisor" told me it was "checks and balances," meanwhile I told him this is a fraudulent charge" and needs to be removed immediately. Another supervisor told me it a deposit for the warehouse. Another one said it was to make sure I had the "funds" in my account. These people don't know what they are saying. I made a 3 way call to them with my bank and an investigation will be done tomorrow. The charges are still on my account after 3 days. This is wrong, you do not charge extra money to an account ever! Beware of this company.

However after reading and comparing the ingredients on both products, I decided to give AMERICAN JOURNEY a try as the price is better. Both 24 lb. bags came with at least 1/4 of each bag crumbled into a meal, not pellets. I thought the first time maybe it was a fluke, as the expiration date was good. Second bag is the same way...

I also received the most beautiful red roses delivered to my home. It takes a very special group of people to offer the kindness that I received during my time of need. Their kind words and stories that they shared were most helpful. To some it may not mean much, but to me, it meant a lot. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you.

I have never had a horrific experience as I have with Chewy.com. I will never recommend this company and will do everything in my power to post my experience with your company out on the web. Because of your company, we could have lost our dog to diabetes. On Saturday, he was diagnosed with diabetes. His levels were at the highest point. The vet told us what insulin to order from your company and we placed the order that Saturday night. We received the email that you sent approval to our vet. Our vet went in on her day off on Sunday and did not receive that fax.
Move onto Monday. We called and the approval form was faxed again. We were on the phone with our vet and they had not received it. We let the rep know. She called me back and let me know that the other rep was talking to the vet for approval over the phone and that the insulin would be shipped overnight for Tuesday delivery. Move onto Tuesday. Shipping was still showing pending on your website. I call and the rep could not find the order. She found the order and apologized but it did not get shipped. She states she fixed it and was going to be sent over night for Wednesday delivery.
Move onto Wednesday. I get a call about our dog and we have to get him to the vet. He was very sick. As I am rushing to get him, I check the website and the order shipped but is now being delivered on Friday. I call customer service. The rep hesitated and put me on hold for quite some time. He comes back on and told me it was not sent overnight but standard delivery.
I asked for the lead immediately. Bernard, I believe was his name was so kind and very apologetic and looked into the problem. Yet, again the previous reps had told me incorrectly as they are not able to approve overnight shipping. He reordered for Thursday delivery at no charge. We will make arrangements on the delivery that I will get on Friday to return. I get this confirmation while I am at the vet with our dog. Our vet’s office was shocked that I have had these issues. They did not trust your company for the delivery and our dog can no longer wait. They ordered the insulin from their distributor around 4:00 pm on that day.
Move onto Thursday. I check Chewy.com to see when the insulin will be here so I could leave work to get it off our porch. What do I see, shipment pending. I call customer service and the rep checks status and pauses. I say, "Are you kidding me." She says, "Oh wait. It shipped." I asked for the status so I can track it. She said, "Believe it or not, what you see is what we see." It takes 24-48 hours for their shipping status to update. She offered to call FedEx though and track it and call me back. I asked her to get the approximate time it would drop off. She states she can’t get that information as she doesn’t have access. Let me ask you this, if she has no access to any of this information how is she going to call FedEx?
I waited a couple hours and did not hear from her so I called again. The rep stated, "I’m so sorry." I interrupted him because I was livid. I told him, "If our dog dies it’s on all of you and I will get an attorney because of all the promises and lies that I have received from your company." I have never threatened with an attorney because I do not believe in it. But, you obviously do not care about our dog. I asked for your manager.
The next manager apologized again and stated this is not the way our company treats their customers and to give him a minute to investigate this problem this time. I have to say this gentleman took me cussing at him like a champ because I was so mad and I started to cry. He came back and said Bernard did get that order in for overnight shipping but the Pharmacy did not ship it because, wait for it. They were out of dry ice. You have to be kidding me. I’m sure I’m not the only customer that would have insulin going out. He refunded me back the charge of the 1st insulin that we are to receive tomorrow. At this time, I do not plan on sending it back because you don’t have time to take care of my needs adequately so I will not have time to return your product.
I have put more time and energy into this that I ever should have. Our dog should have started his insulin on Tuesday. It is now Thursday and I haven’t received anything from your company. However, my vet that ordered on Wednesday at 4:00 as stated above received our insulin at 8:45 am today, Thursday.I used to manage customer service for 10+ years and am now a Human Resource Manager and I will tell you this, these reps would not be employed today, except for Bernard and the two gentlemen today. All the other reps are a disgrace to your company. I have already started to put reviews out on your company and spread the word to everyone I know. They will know that it’s definitely not about customer service at your company and the life of a beloved animal is not worthy of your time.

I use Chewy and have only had one previous negative experience, which was because of FedEx delivering to the wrong house not anything Chewy did wrong. I understand that systems are automated, however they are deceiving. My last order stated "shipped" although this was not correct, the order did not ship, Chewy only generated the order with FedEx, but did not physically ship the shipment. Previous orders used to deliver in 24 hours (sometimes 48), but the shipping now is 3 days.
I then tried to use the "chat online" service to ask if the shipping has changed, I was connected to someone named "David" I asked my questions and he never replied. I need to go to the pet store to get food until the order arrives. This defeats the purpose of the convenience of using Chewy, and the face to face customer service at my local store beats the online lack of service Chewy provides. I think I will go back to supporting my local pet store instead of using a company that appears to be getting too big to provide the excellent customer service they used to.

They immediately responded, checked into my order within 10 minutes and then refunded my money and told me to keep the item when it arrived! Apparently the delay was weather related and the warehouse closest to me didn't have the item I wanted in stock. Not Chewy's fault. However, they expressed concern for my pup not having his necessities and wanted to make it right. The rep even asked for pics of my baby and gushed over him.
