    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 called on Saturday, February 23, 2019 to let Chewy know that I had to put my cat down that morning. They went on to tell me how sorry they were for my loss. I advised them that I had a unopened case of yd wet cat food as well as an unopened bag of the dry yd cat food. I was wondering what the return policy would be. I was told to donate the items to a animal hospital or animal shelter of my choice in memory of my cat that passed away. They also said that they would give me a full credit on my credit card ASAP. They also took care of canceling my auto ship with them. Today I received a gift of flowers from them in remembrance of my cat. I was so amazed by such thoughtfulness. Chewy you made my day. You have always been a first class organization since day one when I signed up with you. Thank you.

    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.

    Original Review: Feb. 26, 2019

    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.

    I had a product on auto-ship called Ocu-GLO vision supplement for dogs. My dog recently passed away and I was not able to open his latest bottle. After calling customer service they assured me they would refund me for the bottle and asked that instead of sending the bottle back in to just donate it to an animal shelter in honor of my dog, Junior. I am amazed at this and doubt any other site would do the same. I have ordered multiple times and never had an issue with any orders from Chewy the many times I have used them. Thank you Chewy!

    This is my second purchase of AMERICAN JOURNEY grain free dry dog food. I have fed BLUE BUFFALO for years with great success. 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... Got down to the "dust" today. NOT HAPPY... Will continue to buy from Chewy, but I guess price matters here... Never a problem like this with BLUE!!!

I contacted Chewy and the customer service agent was delightful, he made the process of crediting my account super easy and told me to donate the remainder of the food to the shelter.

    I ordered a litter box when I moved. My order came in on a Tuesday with only the top and no litter pan. I called to see if they could overnight it to me considering it was their mistake. The rep said they don’t do that but since it’s 2 day shipping it shouldn’t be here later than Thursday. It didn’t come Thursday. It then said it would get to my house by the 22nd. I could wait one more day. Well, now on the 23rd, I check my tracking and it’s been pushed back to the 26th. I thought Chewy was convenient but I’ll never shop from them again. Amazon is still better and less expensive. It’s disappointing that a company that’s owned by a multi-billion dollar company (PetSmart) can’t do basic customer service.

    Chewy.com does not guarantee or honor 1-2 day shipping and will give every excuse as to why the package cannot be received in that time frame when you inquire.

    I've been aiming to write a review regarding the experience I had with the customer service team. My dog Bella passed away in December of 2018 and I contacted customer service to see about returning unused medicine that I had ordered from them because I hated to just throw it away. I received an email shortly afterwards stating they would refund my money. I spoke with 3 different people who all were so friendly and offered their condolences for the loss of my sweet Bella. 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 placed an order for dog food and supplies, got an email stating order was being processed. Seen they took the money out of my account. Thinking all was good and that I would be getting my order, to my surprise I got an email this morning telling me that my address was used previously for an order so I do not qualify for the auto-ship discount and that they cancelled my order. I called and emailed asking what was going on and all they would say is, "We did so digging and seen that your address had a previous auto-ship account that was cancelled." So they cancelled my order. So, if you live somewhere and someone else did auto-ship you do not get the discount and they just cancel your order and never would answer me as to when the money would be going into my account.

    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.

    I decided to give Chewy.com a try when I bought a new puppy. They had an exercise pen I wanted that was $79 in Petco but $25 on their website. So I placed an order for the pen and two other items. The very next day two of the items were delivered. I was blown away by the super fast shipment and delivery process. But when I checked my email, I saw that the last item wouldn't be delivered for 7 more days.

    Out of curiosity, I messaged Chewy on Facebook to inquire about the different shipment times. 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. I will do all pet related business with them. Thanks Chewy! I'm blown away by the 5 star stellar service!

    Chewy won't do business with you if you try to pay for your order with a gift card. I first tried to place an order on February 8, 2019. The thank you screen informed me my order had been accepted. The next day, I receive an email that my order had been canceled. I called to find out why and was informed the issue was with my gift card. "We just needed you to call to verify some things." is what the customer service rep told me over the phone.

    What? I was told I had to wait 24 hours before I could call them again to resolve the issue. Why can't I do it right now? No explanation. I attempted to place my order today. The card is outright declined. Call customer service and Dixie called over his supervisor who told him I can use a gift card as long as it's Visa or MasterCard (It is) but the address has to match. What address? It's a GIFT CARD. They then tell me to call the gift card company to ask them how to resolve this, and "We'll wait for you to do that." The gift card company is completely automated, no customer service.

    I call Chewy again and get Jocelyn, who calls me back because my phone connection was bad. She calls me back and I try to explain the problem and she hangs up on me. I call a third time and get Beth who informs me I have no order with them. So the outcome is don't use a gift card with Chewy even when they tell you they accept gift cards. They don't. Find another store to buy your pet supplies. Chewy doesn't want your business.

    I've been a customer of Chewy.com for 2 years. The service was wonderful for the first year. More recently though the shipments have arrived with damaged contents. The items - litter, cases of canned food, dry food- are tossed into a box with no filler and the litter bag isn't wrapped. I've now had 3 shipments with torn litter bags and messes from the litter dribbling out of the box. The litter is thrown on top of the cans and rips. I've also had the bags of dry food smashed from the cases of wet food. And I've had the cans smashed and leaking.

    Is some of this due to FedEx? Maybe. But when the litter bag isn't wrapped (I've seen other companies do this to prevent ripping) and there isn't any filler so the items roll around I have to mostly fault the Chewy shippers. Every time I have a damaged shipment, Chewy customer service promises that the next shipment will be packaged appropriately. Not so. I'd love to stick with Chewy as I know they are aware of their shipper problems and (maybe) trying to rectify the problems but there are other pet supply delivery companies.

    I always thought Chewy.com was the be all and end all pet food company. The top in customer service that all companies should model themselves after. Unbelievable speedy delivery service. However, something must have changed with their shipping/delivery department within the last few months. Now when I place an order it takes longer than usual, plus the shipping estimates are wrong. I placed an order on the 2/8 and tracking told me I would receive it on 2/11 Monday. I did not receive it on the 11th so I checked tracking. Tracking showed a delivery date now for the 12th. My dogs were out of their kibble and did not want to switch them to another brand locally purchased.

    I called customer service and a man told me that they do not deliver on Mondays. Why not, doesn't FedEx work on Mondays? How bizarre is that? In the past I would receive my shipment in 1 business day if ordered in the morning, I think Chewy was acquired by another company, thus the sudden change in service. I still love Chewy but they should advise customers, who purchase from them on a consistent basis, that delivery will take longer than prior to 2019. I've been spoiled by Chewy.com in the past, and now will have to adjust my ordering schedule. All good things do come to an end.

    I have been a customer for about a year now, mostly purchasing a 9 lb bag of Oxbow Western Timothy hay, for my rabbit, every 2 months. Shipping is always on time, I get what I asked for, no problems. The most recent bag was not of the normal quality - a lot of dead, brown, shriveled hay - and my rabbit was only eating half of it, if that. I called the customer service line, where I was connected within seconds. A very friendly voice answered the phone and listened to my issue. She offered a full refund, and I asked if we could just get another bag. She said no problem, and placed the order right away! The whole thing took 4 minutes tops! I am very pleased! Thanks Melanie! FYI: I don’t blame Chewy for the bad hay - they obviously don’t make or bag the hay! So it makes their actions all the more impressive to me!

    I had a standing automatic order for doggie diapers for our Maltese/Bichon mix. We had to put him down so I called to cancel future shipments. They immediately said they will refund the entire cost of our last shipment even before I could ask if I could return the unopened packages for refund. We always got the shipments on time. Best customer service I've experienced. Also the price was about half of the same quality product than at Pet Smart, and no shipping charges. I highly recommend this company!!!

    Hi, I have always been Leary of online shopping but Chewy.com is GREAT. My dogs are very spoiled and will only eat USA treat (my doing). But the treats from China are scary. Do some research. I saved $4.00 per bag on Milo's treats. And the other treats chicken & sweet potato jerky about $1.24 per bag. True Chews about $2.39 a bag. Told you they are spoiled. Usually 2 day shipping. But order ahead of time if you are running low. FedEx driver could run off the road or lose your package. Think ahead. Love this company ❤️ and my boys are thrilled too. Thanks to all at Chewy!

    I had seen the commercials for Chewy and they say they offer free shipping if you spend over $45. Great. When you go to Chewy.com website it says you will receive it in 1-2 days. Great again. NOT great. After they debited the money from my account, they said it shipped. It shipped on the 8th and now I get a message I won't get it until the 12th. I may not be too good at math but that is NOT 2 days. My dogs will be out of food in 4 days. I ONLY ordered based on the max 2 days delivery.

    When I contacted Chewy they basically said they don't control their own shipping. They let FedEx and other shippers determine the shipping times. They also went into some song and dance that they don't control if it comes out of their Pheonix or Nevada warehouse. One creates longer shipping times. I don't care. Not my problem. Get your business together. Umm... The shippers control your company? NOT acceptable. They said that FedEx home doesn't deliver on Sundays or Mondays. Again. NO mention of that on their website. They then offered to wait for Fedex to ship it back to them and ONLY then could they return my money. Umm... no again.

    At this point, I'm sure I would never see my refund and they would blame it on the shippers again. Pathetic. Buyer beware, they will scam and lie to you to get your business and then you and your fur babies are on their own. Unethical company or at the very least extremely unprofessional and uncaring about their customers. Fool me once, shame on you. I won't be fooled twice!

I placed an order two days ago, expecting it to arrive today. I looked online at the status of the order and found that it was still "preparing for shipment." I contacted Chewy.com to find out why my order was still preparing for shipment and they said there is an issue with an auto ship discount so they haven't processed my order.

    They never bothered to call me, send an email, put a note on my account, or make any contact. All I have heard from them is "I am sorry no notification was sent. I will research this."

    I have two, humongous dogs, and started using Chewy several years ago after finding the best prices on premium dog foods and more. Since then along with food, I have purchased everything from leashes and harnesses to raised dog bowls, vitamins and more. No online service is perfect - I won a service business, and I know that, try as one might, NO service is perfect all the time. But what's remarkable and appreciated is that, when something goes awry with an order, Chewy not only fixes it fast and without a hassle, but their turnaround to get the right products into my hands is pretty mind-blowing.

    Kudos to Chewy! The other thing that is MUCH appreciated is the fact that, when I call, a real, live human being answers (almost immediately) and gets right into my need or problem - no voice-activated phone stress that can't understand me or that require me to yell for a representative 15 times before they give me over to a live body.

    I placed an order through Chewy.com for 102.50 as my first experience with Chewy.com. Immediately a charge was authorized for 103.48. Not a huge deal, but this is not what I spent so I was a little confused but decided to let it go. My order was then placed on hold, forcing me to call the company. The representative tells me that they "changed an item number" and that she would remove the hold. Then I receive ANOTHER charge on my card for $52.14 which nearly put my card in overdraft as this is the same card I was using to pay bills with. So now I have two debits that have left my card, neither of which are the amount I actually paid. I call the company. I am told that when things are shipped separately sometimes the card is debited as things leave the warehouse and that it should come back in 24 hours.

    Keep in mind that I do a LOT of online shopping and have never, ever, had a company charge so many debits for my order! Walmart, Jet, and Amazon just to name a few will charge you what you SPENT and that is all. Another $50 debit, and four days later, the original "hold" that was taken is credited back to my card. Two emails and several useless apologies later, and I am never using this company again. I shop for my pets constantly, and was loving the autoship idea as I buy food for my dog roughly every two weeks. I have never had such an awful experience with a company before, and I will definitely be returning my business to Jet.com or Amazon from now on.

I reviewed the website, read all of the FAQ’s, got a good feeling this was going to be an excellent service so I pulled the trigger and ordered. I understood that I would receive my dog food and cat litter in 1-2 days...it’s all over the website, 1-2 days. I just called to cancel the order because it is 5 days later and still no delivery. I used the FedEx link to track the package and the link showed the food was going to be delivered end of day for 2 consecutive days... nope, no delivery.

    When I called, the customer service rep explained that FedEx home delivery doesn’t pick up on Saturday and doesn’t deliver on Sunday or Monday... what? So if Chewy.com knows that an order placed on a Friday afternoon won’t be delivered until 5 days later, how do they represent 1-2 days delivery? I am so disappointed. If there had been anything, anywhere on the website to explain their shipping limitations, I would have planned accordingly and Chewy.com would have had a loyal customer. They got 1 star because, while a bit dismissive, the customer service rep did say they would refund my money (I had to buy food and litter as we ran out by Monday morning) without me asking.

Apparently there was a recall on this food and I did not find out until after my cats ate this. They were all violently ill with vomiting and diarrhea. I had to take them to the vet and after 5 days they finally stopped being ill. The pet food recall stated it can cause death in animals according to many websites. They did not bother to take these products off their shelves or from warehouses and dispatched it to us anyways. No apologies or anything.

    I had to contact Purina and all they gave me was a coupon for another bag of the same food that made my animals sick in the first place. So after this I wanted to cancel my new order which they haven't even shipped yet and they would not let me. I'm so mad right now. I will never go back to them.

It's their "new system", and I was advised to schedule my future autoships for the day after I actually want them sent. Because I had scheduled my shipment for the day I get my social security payment, the early shipment caused an insufficient funds charge in my bank account. It seems like their that their new system could be illegal, absolutely sure that it's stupid. I have cancelled my autoship and removed my debit card information from their system.

The box was not strong enough for the weight of the items inside. Should have used more boxes to ship order so that boxes did not pop open in shipping.

    I've been shopping at Chewy.com for years now and I can honestly say they provide the best customer service not only online but everywhere. Just yesterday I ordered a dog sweater and after I placed my order I found it for $5.00 cheaper. I called Chewy.com and to my surprise they offered to take $5.00 off and keep my order. I was thrilled with that solution. Every communication that I have ever with them is always a positive experience. Their prices are good too. You definitely want to shop here. Everything you could possibly need for your pet is available. They also ship in like 1-2 days. I've been also buying my dog's food there. I order by the case and it comes out a lot cheaper. Love these guys!

    We have been using Chewy for a year or so with very positive experiences, however, we recently had to put our 4yr old boxer down due to complications of lymphoma and I contacted Chewy because we had received our pup's food order days before and it was unopened and I asked if I could return the food. They not only credited us the entire amount while asking us to keep the food and donate to a shelter or friend, but had the kindest words, asked for our boy's pictures and sent us a bouquet of flowers with their deepest sympathies. I have never known a company to be so caring understanding and dedicated to their furry clients and their parents. We appreciate what they did for our family during a very difficult time. What a unique and special staff and company they have.

    I looked at some of the negative reviews and they didn't actually have anything to do with Chewy as a company. I've been ordering from them for over a year for cat food, snack, toys. Dog snacks and turtle food. I did have one problem with an order not showing tracking information but that was a fault with FedEx, not Chewy. What I found so funny is when I did the online chat the agent said, "Let me sniff that order out for you." I cracked up! FedEx didn't update the shipping information so Chewy resent the order and now I'm getting both of them... no charge of course.

    They said, "Don't even worry about it, your pets' happiness is more important." The guy on the phone seemed genuinely interested in hearing about my pets and said, "Oh, say hi to Oliver the turtle too." I live in an apartment so FedEx would only sometimes deliver to the door because the one driver just didn't like going up the stairs but Chewy put special instruction to always deliver to door so they have not let me down in the slightest. Variety of products is great and prices are awesome.

    In the beginning, Chewy was amazing. Delivery was really in 2-3 days! Now we are at 5 to 6 days. Now my order has been sitting on a loading dock for 2 days with no movement. NO MAJOR STORMS in the area. But I am going to receive wet cat food that has been frozen and thawed multiple times. Selection and prices are good but if it makes my cats sick it is not worth a dime.

    Most of the time my purchases only require a smaller box. Chewy finally stopped putting cat litter in with the food. YEA! My last order included a variety of small cans and pouches but came in a box big enough to ship 3x as much food. It was packed with warehouse waste paper and all but 1 box had been broken open and scattered in the box. Perhaps a bit of training for warehouse packers is in order. For now, I will continue to shop with Chewy but will keep an eye out for poor shipping practices. Please stop packing my purchases in warehouse leftover paper/trash. It is insulting and as a customer, I expect more. Thank you.

That was so unexpected but it showed that they truly pay attention to their customers and the ones we love and take care of.

    Even if they have some sort of system that scans orders for changes like these to follow up on it still means they care enough to set up such a system and make customers feel like they matter.

    We’ve been ordering from Chewy.com for a while since Sam’s Club stopped carrying the litter we used (kitties are picky about their litter) and then started ordering food from them as well. They send us a Christmas card every year that is hand signed by several employees – a nice touch. We had ordered food before we knew Jerry was ill that we received while he was at the vet’s. I called to ask about the return procedures and of course they asked the reason for the return since they want to ensure customer satisfaction. Not only did they give us immediate credit and ask us to donate the food to a local shelter but they also sent us a sympathy card which I already felt was “over and above” customer service.

    The other evening our doorbell rang. In typical “husband fashion” my husband's first question was, “What did you order now?" He was even more suspicious when the UPS driver handed him a large box from FTD! It turned out to be a dozen roses with a vase that Chewy sent to us for the loss of our “furry baby”. Talk about exceeding customer expectations! Of course I will now tell everyone I know who has a pet to order from them!

    Last year my perfectly healthy puppy was dying from what we came to realize was her dog food after many vet visits and expensive diagnostic tests. Come to find out, the company (Natural Balance) had changed owners and formulations without notice around the same time my dog (and many others according to this site) started becoming very sick.

    Immediately as I scoured for a new food, I went to Chewy.com to leave a review to potentially save other pet owners heartbreak as I believe my perfectly healthy puppy would have suddenly died from organ failure like many others had I not changed her food in time. A day later, my review was not showing. I left another. Still nothing for a couple days. So I emailed the company looking for answers as to why my reviews were not posting publicly.

    They said there were absolutely no recalls or warnings on Natural Balance so they were "sorry" my dog had a negative "reaction", but not concerned about it because other people were still buying and feeding it to their pets and without complaining. In regards to my deleted reviews, they explained they have an algorithm that deletes reviews with "target" words.

    So then I attempted two other reviews, one without any words at all just a star rating and one with very neutral statements, but they still were not posted on their website! Even to this day, none of those reviews show up on their site and no additional negative reviews are being added... I mean, maybe one negative review is posted for every 100 good ones they get.

    There are reports of dogs sick & dying all over the country from the new owner's formulation and my heed of warning to other pet owners was repeatedly thrown out in exchange for the website keeping status quo & making a buck. A food that is currently killing dogs still has 5 stars on their website because Natural Balance happened to be a reputable company for 20 years until just recently and now they are filtering out all the negative ones. Completely disgusting, completely unethical, and makes me sick to my stomach knowing how many babies have died or gotten sick all because this website is in bed with certain companies. My local pet store sells their dog food cheaper than Chewy.com, the minimal savings I may or may not have received by using their services is not worth supporting over their unethical, apathetic practices.

    I have heard wonderful things about Chewy, and decided to try it out for the first time. When I got my order, I opened the box and immediately noticed that I did not get a free product that I was supposed to get. It was a “buy one get one free” for dry food for dogs. I let it slide because I figured it must have been a simple mistake. I then proceeded to open my cat's wet food, and as soon as I opened it a foul stench hit my nose and I noticed a grey substance on the box. I was forced to take everything out and run it through water to get the odor out. I then realized that none of the cans of wet cat food were open, so whatever the substance was it had been put there.

    I have used Chewy for about 6 months and have found that they are not able to guarantee their 1 to 2-day delivery policy. Once you order from them, it is in the hands of FedEx. Always have your own reserve of pet supplies for the days that you will be waiting for the delivery. The first time this happened I called Chewy and talked to someone who was very sympathetic, agreeable, and who offered to replace the order which was so much not the issue. I wanted the first one. It arrived a day late after I verified with FedEx that there had been a delivery issue in my area. Chewy, by the day, happily gave me the number of FedEx so that I could do my own following up on their order.

    I began to notice subsequently that the FedEx Delivery Manager updates usually did not specify that anything would be delivered within 2 days, but somehow its merchandise did make it in that timeframe. My usual order more than qualifies for free shipping. The most recent order, placed on a Thursday before 3 PM as I was instructed to do, will not arrive until the next Wednesday. Oddly, it was sent from NV to northern Oregon, as opposed directly to the greater Los Angeles area where I live. So yesterday I went to the local market and pet store to make sure that I have food for my dog and cat.

I called Chewy and they credited our account, so my husband and daughter took the food to the Humane society. So grateful for all this kindness, not only did it help us but also the families that the Humane society deliver to. The staff was so helpful and pleasant throughout all this. Thanks Chewy!!!

    I had an auto-ship set up for one of my dog's prescriptions. Everything was fine for the first 2 shipments, but the 3rd was absurd. I paid $1,69 per pill on the last shipments. When it was time to be notified about the upcoming shipment, it was OK to ship. Well, I get my email showing the shipment is going out and the bill is almost twice as much as the last month! The pills are now $2,84. No one told me of this ridiculous price hike. I called customer service wanting an explanation on how the cost was almost doubled. He said it is what it is. This is unacceptable! He said the only thing I can do is to deny FedEx when they deliver. Well, can't do that as the package does not have signature release. I'm notifying my credit card company to reverse the charges. This is a scam and price gauging. I will find another company with reasonable prices. Never again will I sign up for auto-shipping without checking prices.

    Chewy has been a lifesaver. I started ordering from them about 4 months ago as I have an array of pets. 2 dogs, 2 hamsters, and 3 fish tanks. I have no car in Chicago and I'm pregnant so carrying a 50 lb bag of dog food plus other supplies on a bus is just not an option. I have never had a problem and they always give me great customer service. I recently called as a hamster ball I ordered about 2 weeks ago broke and my Syrian got loose. Lucky I've been training them so catching her wasn't too bad. I called customer service at 11 pm cst and got a person within 3 rings. They replaced it for free and shipped and right out and I didn't have to send them the defective one back. They are also not a greedy company. They are always donating to shelters and t.v. animal rescues like Pit Bulls and Paroles and Amanda to the Rescue.

    I have items shipped for my dogs and cats every 3 weeks. Super fast shipping and every product I have received from them has been excellent quality at an unbeatable price. I have checked stores in my city and the prices are never lower in the store. Plus, I don’t have to lug it home. Love the personal touches and handwritten cards from the customer service. The Christmas card was a nice touch this year. I can easily change my auto ship right from the app. They have such a wide variety of products that I find everything I am looking for very easily.

    I ordered a small bag of cat food because I wanted to try a higher quality brand but I wasn’t sure if my picky cats would eat it. They didn’t have the small bag in stock when it came time to ship so the sent me a bigger bag for the smaller bag price. I appreciated that very much. They could have just said they didn’t have what I order but instead they took the high road and made sure my order was filled.

    I made an order Dec 23rd 2018 and on the 26th it said that the package was delivered but I never got it. I called the same day and explained that my dog had a minor ear infection and I really needed the medication in the package and more dog food. The representative told me that they had issues with FedEx but would resend it with no express shipping & it would arrive in 3 days. 3 days later nothing and no email with a new tracking number.

    Now completely out of dog food I called again & the new representative said that he saw nothing being resent - just that the items were replaced but didn’t see an actual shipment but he would resend it. I’m extremely upset because now I’ll have to wait again for the ear stuff and food which means now I just have to go out and buy everything because I won’t let my pets starve and can’t keep giving them only human food as a replacement. This will be my last auto shipment with Chewy. Incompetence on both Chewy and FedEx’s part.

    I am amazed at the level of service I have received since I started using Chewy for my pet food supplies a little more than 2 years ago. They have always been very responsive to all my needs and concerns. The response I have received from them over the last two weeks left me speechless. My beloved cat, Smokey, left for heaven after 16-1/2 years. Chewy was kind enough to refund me the full amount of the last shipping of prescription food that I had no more need for.

    Today was even more incredible. A vase of lovely and fragrant flowers greeted me at the door. Upon opening the card, I was stunned to learn it was from the “Chewy family”. It contained a beautiful personal sentiment in the memory of Smokey. It was a truly beautiful gesture, one I never expected and haven’t received from many vets, much less a corporation. Caring for animals and customers is ingrained in their mission. They have earned my loyalty and a very strong recommendation. As I have been, you will be pleased at the promptness of deliveries and their service.

    After a long day of work, I inboxed my Chewy order and the expensive cat food I ordered was opened/damaged in the shipment box. I was dreading a customer service phone call and all the stress from having to return the item. I sucked it up and called their customer service number at 8:15 PM EST and received a LIVE and LOCAL person on the phone on the first ring. They looked up my order by my phone number, I told them the brand of food, and a replacement was initiated that moment with apologies. When asked if I needed to send it back, they said no! Phone call = 3 minutes.

    Now, this type of service makes online ordering easy and convenient. I will continue to use Chewy because of this customer service. I can’t say enough how nice it is to get help with a live person after working hours and not to have to ship a damaged item back. Well worth it, and kudos to Chewy.

    They pretend to accept coupons but they won't accept them electronically like they used to do and like everyone else does so you have to mail them. I specifically write to the manufacturers of the products I regularly use and request coupons so I can afford their products which I order in reliance of the coupons. After a few orders, I bundle the coupons and mail them altogether so we are talking of about $25 per $100 of spending or something significant. But twice now, when I call to find out when they are crediting me with the coupons, they claim they didn't get them.

    I don't understand it. Everyone else that I mailed items to at the same time from the same post office get their mail but Chewy. So either the postal service has it in for Chewy and keeps misdirecting its mail or they are hopelessly disorganized or lying. Frankly, I am sick of it and them. Since Petsmart bought them out last year, there are no more sales, flash sales or regular sales, and they jacked up their prices and charge sales tax so if they are going to keep pretending to lose my coupons on top of everything else - I'm finished with Chewy.

    And with the people all complaining about the FedEx dropping packages too heavy to lift in front of their door - I had that problem too and when I called Chewy they told me CHEWY packs them to 60 pounds to save money on shipping. I told them 60 pounds was ridiculous. People can't lift that. I have to stand outside, opening the box and carrying the contents inside one thing at time with the neighbors watching. They don't care. They said it used to be 40 pounds and now it's 60 pounds. No wonder half the manufacturers no longer wish to do business with them anymore. The selection isn't there anymore and the customer service agents get dumber and less cooperative as the days go on.

    Chewy.com has an exclusive carrier relationship with FedEx. The original problem was with FedEx misdirecting and/or delivering in the middle of the night, leaving boxes weighing in excess of 60 pounds on the porch directly in front of my front door, preventing me from opening it. FedEx was totally uncooperative. After speaking with Chewy, they assured me that they would remedy the problems with FedEx. They did not. I waited an entire week for an order to be delivered, and after THREE failed delivery attempts, I gave up on Chewy, and on FedEx. Ultimately, Chewy, was totally lacking in customer service; and they gave up on me--the customer--in favor of FedEx. I will never use Chewy, nor FedEx again. The two proved to be the epitome of poor customer service.

I mentioned that there was no packing list or anything in the instructions or on the box to this fact. I was told that this is their policy, and I said how would I have known if I was not the one who ordered it - IT WAS A GIFT.

    If I had known when it started to wobble I would have called. Now my cat cannot enjoy his tree because of the wobbling posts and he may fall off, it is a useless cat tree. I was told that there was nothing the Chewy.com can do about it, the year is up. It is a shame that they will not stand behind the products that they sell, especially when I was told that it may have been a defective cat tree in the first place.

I file complain with your company and FedEx multiple times and I ask if I can pay extra for delivery just this food to be in time and I get answer "NO".

If I don't have delivered in time I have to travel from Western Massachusetts to Connecticut (West Hartford 24 hr Vet Trauma hospital) and ask them for couple of cans then I have to shop around which hospital will give me some more cans until finally I get delivered my order. Every time our Vet Doctor has to send prescription to hospital who will give me the cans. Is frustrating for Dr and us too, because we travel from Ludlow to Connecticut and then back in Massachusetts and try to get more cans from Boston Vet hospital or other clinics.

    None of this facilities has ready extra prescription food for sale, except for pet when they are discharged. So please try to figure out other option for delivery this kind the food or let us know how much we have to pay extra to get this food in time and help our pets. I don't ask for mercy and this shopping is not for healthy pets, I ask for your cooperation and try to fix this problem. Right now our delivery is Since December 7, 5:35 am in vehicle for delivery and we are December 8, 4:00 pm and still waiting for food. From Springfield CA I get 3 cans, and I will travel to Connecticut where they will give me 6 cans and this is how we will spend this weekend to provide food for our sick pets until we will get our package delivered.
