If you keep anything on hand so you never run out and it's recalled, you better hope it's within one year of purchase because if not, Chewy will not refund your money or replace the product. My item was un-opened and good till 2020. I bought it 13 months ago. The manufacturer is sending me a refund. Chewy does not make their refund/exchange policy known. GOTCHA! But I got very upset and told them to cancel the $56 order I had placed earlier today. They wisely decided to send me an alternate product that costs less than what I paid originally. Their customer service is really slipping. It may be time to bail. There's always Amazon.

I’m a fanatic about customer service and very few businesses, online or off, even meet my minimum standards, much less exceed them. From my first telephone contact with Chewy.com, when a rep answered on the first ring, to my most recent, resolving my misordered product with the correct one at their own expense, they’ve consistently exceeded my expectations. I recommend Chewy.com to every pet owner I meet, and can unequivocally do so here.

Someone stole my credit card number and spent almost $100. Shawntel stayed on the phone with me and even got assistance until they tracked down the purchase, she refunded my money and told me what to do next regarding making a police report. She was caring, kind and compassionate with me regarding my situation. And I don’t even have an account with them but I was still treated the way you would expect to be treated by someone you have an account with. The store who got most of my money from this person wouldn’t even look in to it and I am a customer of Target. So if Chewy.com will treat a non customer like that I can’t imagine how well they treat their customers. I will recommend them to friends and family.

Okay I left Chewy because shipping issues. They used to be great before it started to blow up. Now they don't care about us because they think they are big. The prices went up not even a little but by 30 to 40 percent as I have proof. Also Amazon is a bit more expensive than other stores and guess what? It's cheaper than Chewy. Because with auto ship Amazon does 5, 10, 15 percent off as Chewy changed their prices to match Amazon but only do 5 percent with autoship. Also with an Amazon card you get 5 percent cash back. That means up to 15 percent cheaper than Chewy who claims to be 30 percent off. Go to Amazon. Don't support a company that gets greedy. Let them know if you mistreat customers and get greedy. Our word of mouth can return them to their nobody status.

We’ve been ordering from Chewy for maybe a year or two (though only recently set up auto ship). When we recently moved, I forgot to change my auto ship address and worried that I didn’t catch it in time for the next order. Customer service got it changed and rerouted and edited my future orders for me in no time. When we lost our pooch a few days ago, I emailed to cancel my auto ship and see if I could return a bag of food that had just been delivered and was still unopened. They refunded my payment to me and told me to donate the food to a shelter instead of sending it back (which we did). I got home today to find a beautiful flower bouquet had been delivered to us from them offering their condolences. Just a genuinely kind company. I’m only giving this five stars because more than that isn't an option!

I called yesterday 8.24.18, because the merchandise I received, ONLY ONE PACKAGE was damaged and the guy I spoke with said, he just processed my refund and I can give those merchandise to a shelter, I told him to send me a return label and he emailed two of them which I did not receive the second package yet, I had told him to reroute it with FedEx. I called again today 8.25.18, to make sure my refund was processed and that woman said, "OH NO, YOU HAVE TO SEND EVERYTHING BACK AND WHEN WE RECEIVE IT, THEN WE MAY PROCESS THE REFUND." Crooks, why would he say to donate it and she says no. You will get a review from me on the internet, you crooks.

This is my third order from Chewy which I've always been satisfied with until today I ordered something. I called back to add to it. The gentleman assured me he wouldn't charge me shipping and handling. When I asked him if he was going to take it out of my bank he said no you'll see it in the email but you will not see it on your statement. I get a notification from my bank two hours later that he did indeed take it out of my bank. I don't do business with people who take money from my bank account without my knowledge. You just lost a customer.

Customer service wouldn't work with me after verifying my billing that I always use without any issues. Very disappointed! Very busy working and maybe their system wasn't working like it should. I have many friends in the nutrition biz and I foster dogs. I'll be sure to spread the word.

Contacted incorrect vet for prescription even though correct vet contact information was provided on multiple occasion. Upon providing correct vet contact information I was told order would be approved and filled promptly. Nonetheless Chewy gave up on filling order. Chewy placed order on hold, pending receipt of mailed prescription. But Chewy never informed me they were awaiting receipt of a mailed prescription. It was not until a second call to customer service that I was informed of the hold -- one week after placing order for medication that must be provided to pet in a timely routine manner. TERRIBLE COMPANY!

Just had my first return for product with Chewy. It was 100% my error, as I did not fully read description. Despite this fact, they issued me an immediate refund and asked me to donate the collar to a shelter! Perhaps my longstanding order history contributed, but no hassle refund of a leather XL collar is beyond professional servicing! Further, the agent was friendly and assured me it was ok! Simply exceptional.

Totally satisfied with my order, which arrived in 2 separate shipments. Great prices and fast shipping. A bucket of Tidy Cat litter was missing, but appeared it had possibly come out of the box in shipment and FedEx had delivered it anyway. The lady at customer service was very nice and sent out a replacement which arrived in 1 day. 100% satisfied with my ordering experience and will continue to order from them as it beats lifting the buckets of litter and bags of cat and dog food several times when purchasing at the store and bringing them home (countless dozens over the years). Will see how the auto ship works in the future. Highly recommend!

My beautiful little Chloe's kidneys failed and I had to put her to sleep yesterday. I also had to cancel a recurring food order from Chewy.com because of it. When the employee, Melody ** asked why I was cancelling and I explained, she offered her sympathy. Today, I received flowers from her and Chewy.com. If you own a pet, I urge you to order their food from Chewy. They are an amazing company who provide excellent customer service but kindness also!

Chewy.com is an amazing place to buy all of the animal products I need. The reason I am giving three stars is that I just got off a chat session with a legitimate complaint and asked to speak to a manager and was denied any assistance. I asked when I order 4 cat litter tubs on auto-ship that they are shipped each in their own box. When the boxes arrive they have holes and the cat litter seals are broken from bumping into each other and litter goes everywhere. The answer was no they can't do that unless I place 4 separate orders. HOGWASH! Way to listen to feedback!

I've been using Chewy for over a year, I originally went with them because the commercial said free delivery, it doesn't say with $49 purchase. So at the start of my dealing with Chewy my orders were always above the not mentioned in the commercial, but stated on the website condition. The 1-2 days delivery doesn't always happen, if it's close to a holiday, you won't see it for 4-7 days, I have stopped using Chewy because I feel they are deceptive in their commercial, and I feel they should follow through with their guarantee 1-2 days delivery.
They entice people by making the commercial give them false information on what their policy really is. I would save $2 by using Chewy for my dog's food, and would spend extra money that I didn't plan on spending if I went to the store to buy it because I didn't want to pay shipping costs, in the end I'm spending more than if I paid the $2 by going to the store, and not have to wait for when it does show up. I'm not a fan of Chewy.com, I think they shouldn't be allowed to state free 1-2 day free shipping when that's not true.

When I was using their services, I already thought they were great. They have superb customer service dept. Returns are processed without question and many times, they ask you to deliver the item you are trying to return to a shelter instead. They also have There is no other retailer that will beat the price of Chewy's. Between great quality product selection, best price, best customer service, fast delivery (2 day service), free 2 day delivery w/ spending of $49 (that's a low minimum for pet retailer), I don't think there's anything more you can ask for...
Last weekend, my dog passed away unexpectedly. I made several purchase that I didn't have a chance to open so I contacted their customer service to do a return. As always, they processed the return quickly and sent me comforting words on live chat. Then few days later, I receive a flower delivery from Chewy's to send their condolences. Who does that?!?! What company does that? NO ONE. There are friends and family that don't even consider that. What a kind, loving, thoughtful gesture. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness.
I love them already, but I cannot boast enough about the company, what they stand for, their brand, their culture, their service, and their love for pets and people. They really are a good company to do business with. Like most people who are pet owners, they spend endless amount of money on their pets, providing the best care possible for our fur babies. Chewy's delivers best products for our loved ones and show that they care. No one should ever question their business value, operation, or ethics. I think Chewy's is an example for all other retails to follow. I feel blessed to have found them years ago and once I am ready to be a new dog owner, can't wait to return to them as a customer!

My elderly cat needed special foods and supplements which I found at the lowest prices at Chewy.com and have been ordering them as needed. Last week, she passed away. I'd just received an order and asked if I could return it (unopened). Chewy.com refunded the cost and told me to donate the food to my local shelter - they were so kind and I've been telling all my pet-loving friends about them. Then, today, I received a lovely floral bouquet in memory of my beloved cat. I cannot get over how great Kyleigh at Chewy.com and everyone I've spoken to has been - it's made a really sad situation less so, and I'm a customer for life.

We've been buying from Chewy.com for a bit and have had only great experiences, but today, their level of care, concern, professionalism and service, and the rapidity of their response and resolution was beyond my best expectations.

We had put our pet's K/D prescription canned dog food - chicken with vegetables and beef with vegetables on autoship 2 cases each month.

I've been with Chewy since they were a small operation (they opened in 2011), great customer service, deliveries on time and sent by FedEx or USPS. Since they started using LaserShip almost 2 years ago, it's been one nightmare after another. Also, their packing is done so poorly, I have to have everything in different orders so things are not destroyed "if" delivered. Now I'm not sure if it's Chewy or LaserShip who destroyed my deliveries. Customer service at Chewy has gone downhill fast. I was told it was an "award winning customer service" by a supervisor the other night, maybe in a different world. They don't know what they're telling you, some are sleeping, one guy laughed in my ear sarcastically while I was talking, one told me to go somewhere else to shop, and one told me that she couldn't tell me when LaserShip would deliver my items and she knew I had a life, but that's how it is!
If you're not home when LS comes, the shipment goes back to the warehouse. I stopped using them for a couple of months after every expensive treat, supplements and dog shampoo were all over the bottom of the box, smashed, and soaked. They apologized and sent me new items one after another and flowers. I threw the flowers away because all I want are my dog's items intact and on time. I also want to be treated with respect and empathy by customer service, who supposedly have "extensive training" in what I don't know, definitely not customer service. LaserShip is the only available service for Chewy on the East Coast, so you are basically stuck with this inept service.
It's too much stress, I don't want apologies, flowers, cards or portraits of my pooch. I want my delivery on time and not smashed and broken! I had to cancel my last order because no one knew about LaserShip and if or when they would come. I will do as someone before this review did and say goodbye after 7 years of being a valued customer and go with Amazon. Chewy has a cheap contract with the worst shipping company in the world - LaserShip and refuses to use FedEx or USPS in the east. The supervisor didn't even know how long they have been using LaserShip, stated one year and one month. No, it's been over 1 3/4 years and nothing but torture. Chewy needs to retrain their customer service reps, since they don't know how to take care of their customers.
Also I believe that many customers will leave if they don't stop using LS and improve customer service. If it's a 1 2 3 problem, they're fine, but complicated issues, like when will my delivery arrive, they make things up or sound bored. I believe this happened because the company was sold to PetSmart and a new CEO Sumit Singh (sp?) per supervisor, took over. Goodbye Chewy. The last two years have been the worst, stressful and not worth it. I'll get my dog's things at Amazon from now on. Chewy will not improve their "award winning" Customer Service and will never stop using the pathetic LS.

I order three items from Chewy.com (bag of cat food and 2 boxes of Dermoscent Essentials). One box contained only three of the four vials of ointment it was supposed to have, so I sent an e-mail to Chewy.com. A short while later, I received a reply apologizing and stating they'd send me a new box. I was notified that the new box had been shipped later that same day, and the box arrived the next day. That's what I call taking care of a customer! I should note that this was the first time there'd been a problem with an order. The email was very nice, too. Good job! I save money with them, save gas, and end up feeling good about the transaction.

I have used Chewy for 8 months and was the biggest advocate. The big problem that I could not fix was that Lasership deliveries of Chewy products are being thrown in back of condo building. Bored disinterested Chewy customer service people going through the motions telling me that’s how it is with Lasership drivers—that they all do things their own way. Never even got manager to follow up and call back so have noticed the customer service is part of the problem too. Beware of using Chewy because Lasership is the worst delivery company out there (do online research). I’m going back to Amazon. Same prices. Same products. But they will get the packages to you. Chewy has gone downhill since their acquisition by a bigger company. Thank your stars Amazon is still out there.

I have always had great experiences with Chewy. Customer service is polite, courteous and is always willing to help. If you order the wrong item, they replace it free when you donate the wrong item to a shelter. Which is amazing, I don't know of any other place that does this. My pup is an aggressive chewer and has destroyed several toys. Chewy has always given credit for the product.
As far as the lady who purchased 5lb bag of Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth, well it is the responsibility of the pet parent to properly apply chemicals to your yard. Reading the package for any warnings would of been the most responsible thing to do. Don't blame Chewy because you did not proceed with caution. Shipping issues?? Chewy does not own the shipping companies that deliver your package. All shipping companies run into issues now and then. With any company online, place your orders when you know you need the product not last minute. The reason for my review is to tell everyone how great Chewy is and that pet parents can't blame someone for their own carelessness. Yes, it's sad her pup has eye issues but the pet parent needs to be responsible for chemicals that are applied to your own property. Chewy is #1 and will recommend to everyone!!

Have been with Chewy for quite some time now. Have had several occasions that the shipping has taken too long. Have called to complain and have been told Chewy uses FedEx (Home) or FedEx (Ground). Have also been told it is based upon when I order if before 2 PM. I have placed various orders earlier than that time and earlier in the week, still too long for shipping. Wish I could find the products locally so I would not need to deal with the "shipping complaints." It also depends upon who you speak with for different answers to the shipping issues. Chewy can certainly bill your account very promptly though. If you do require a "return credit" to your account, well that can be 5-7 business days or longer? Bottom line is if you place your order make sure to do it at least a week in advance and if you need to be credited back for a return issue, make sure you are not in need of that set amount of monies in your account. Just saying...

I have been a loyal Chewy customer for years, as has my whole family. I exclusively order my dog’s food from Chewy, in part because it’s the best price, in part because it’s so hard to find in stores. I also buy treats, toys, and most recently a dog costume from Chewy. The only issue I’ve had was on my last order where an item was left out of the shipping package. I called and within 2 minutes a new one was being processed, no problems or hassle. The woman was extremely helpful and didn’t make it a difficult process at all. I love Chewy and will continue to use them for years!

I recently ordered special medicated food for our pet and did auto order, it arrived in a timely manner. Unfortunately our pet Frog made a turn for the worst and we had to release him from his suffering. I called customer service and let them know I had to cancel the auto order... he asked why and I explained we lost our pet and no longer are in need of the food and that we only used it for a few days and I was going to donate it to the local humane society. He then said he was issuing a full refund. I was in shock... I said, "No you don't have to." He said, "Yes I do." that, "We are sorry for your loss and since you said you were going to donate it to other pets we are going to give you a refund." That was the nicest thing ever. My heart is sad but that was a very kind gesture. I definitely will be recommending to others their service. Sincerely Mom of Frog the dog!

This review is regarding my negative experience. Overall, Chewy would get a better rating from me, but I am extremely disappointed right now regarding my recent order. I placed it at 3:30 AM on Monday. It was scheduled to arrive the next day, but was never delivered and tracking info wasn't updated. Chewy insisted FedEx just hadn't updated their system. This morning, after I again saw no tracking movement, I called FedEx and they confirmed for me, the package hasn't even been received yet by Chewy. I called Chewy to inform them, THEY dropped the ball, not FedEx. Finally, they admitted they've been having some shipping issues at the warehouse level and the package "should" be received by Friday. "Should" is not a definitive answer. Come on, Chewy. You are no longer a convenience when I can't get the items I order within the advertised 2 days.
It was wonderful of you to offer a full refund to make up for my having to go out and purchase what should have already been here, but the fact remains, my husband is sick with leukemia, I work two jobs to make up for his loss of employment while he battles this, and the items are heavy. I neither have the strength nor time to manage fetching boxes of litter for five cats from the store along with other supplies. This is part of the reason I have ordered from you a few times a month for the past year and a half - for the convenience. It would have been nice to receive a warning that you're experiencing shipping delays. Now, between myself and sick husband, we're having to scramble to get these supplies here for our critters. We will definitely remain customers, but if this happens again anytime soon, we will seriously reconsider how we shop for pet supplies.

I always had an issue with ordering basking bulbs from Chewy. Despite advising them numerous times by live chat and phone calls that the bulbs need to be packaged with stuffing material other than a piece of brown paper, which inevitably crushed the bulbs every time, they continue to ship this way. Fine, I thought to myself, I would buy the bulbs or other more fragile items in store at their competitors' locations. A few months ago, I made a purchase that included a bag of cat litter and some smaller items like a can of fish food. I arrived home to find at my front door a box covered with ants inside and outside of the box. Chewy shipped the bag of cat litter with the other small items, again, no divider or stuffing was used other than 1 piece of brown paper. Needless to say, that bag of litter crushed the cab of fish food, spilling everything inside the box and luring the ants in. The thermometer was crushed too.
I was furious. I contacted them immediately about this. A generic sorry was given, asked me about my pets (Seriously? My husband's fish went hungry waiting for a replacement and this was all preventable), then offered to ship the replacements. Like the previous review mentioned, I had always posted reviews on Chewy, either it be negative or positive ones, with photos, and always find them posted within 48 hours. I made a review post about this cat litter which I was not satisfied about plus the shipping experience I had. Pictures were uploaded to show the product, nothing else.
Weeks gone by and it was not posted. Suddenly, I received a message from my credit card company saying Chewy posted a reimbursement for an amount that I don't even know where it is coming from. To date, my review was still not posted. It felt like Chewy threw some money at me in exchange of refusing to post the review. I did not request for a refund in light of being dissatisfied with it because I was still planning to use it. The reason I disliked the litter was the pellets were too small for the price that you pay for and odor control is not good.
Chewy is going downhill. I used to be their fan and referred people to them. Over the years, they have changed. The shipping times grew from 2 days to 1 week, items ordered at the same time would be shipped from different warehouses with different shipping dates but you would not be advised of this, they place a charge on your credit card account then remove it later for their accounting purposes (Again, never was told of this), items selected in the shopping cart would get a price increase so you could not buy at the price that you originally wanted for, price increases for most items, the variety and inventory for exotic pets went down drastically, and the customer service is lacking and growing cold and generic. Telling them sorry, throw some money back at the customer and NOT listening to the root of the problem so changes can be implemented frustrated me to no end.
In light of the above, I am at the point where I only use them to buy hay, bedding and substrate in bulk. No other stores are carrying them in bulk sizes yet. Once they do, I plan to completely remove myself from Chewy. Their competitors caught on and have started accepting price matches. Why would I want to buy things that can break or food that can't wait from a company that is not honest with the way they do things anymore.

We purchased, from Chewy.com, a 5lb bag of Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth (by DiatomaceousEarth.com, Diatomaceous Earth LLC) about a month ago. After applying around the perimeter of the house, waiting, then 24 hrs later, allowing our dog to go around that part of the yard with us, we came in with her and in no time, her eyes were completely swollen shut. We rushed her to our 24hr veterinarian to find that our vet did not seem not surprised at all by this, as it seems to happen a lot. Apparently, my dog was lucky that it was only her eyes.
A week after and my little girl was still unable to open her eyes, was on routine drops, ointment, pain meds, and antibiotics. Now nearly a month in, she is still so photosensitive, still remains on an abundance of meds and has permanent damage. I called Chewy after 6 days (wanting to see how the damaged progressed). They were so 'apologetic' and 'concerned'...said to make sure I wrote the review and put pictures. I told them that the review was all I was concerned with, so others could see her face and be warned about the possible side effects. We are now on week four of trying to get the review up.
At 1st, I was told, 'it usually takes more than 48hrs for a review to post (mind you, this was a full week after calling/posting, 2 weeks after damage). Week 3 I called again to be told 'it's because you put names/phone #'s on the review' (they were the same #'s posted on the actual products bag!! and 1 was a non-working #). Then finally, as I and my legal team suspected, I was told that it couldn't be posted 'due to liability reasons.'
So I worked for days with so many customer service reps, team leads, etc, trying to word this review just right, so Chewy could cover their rear-ends, and finally got the review 'approved with the pictures.' I had to spend hours on the phone, received a confirmation email and 2 calls stating it was 'approved and should be up soon.' So finally Nearly a month in, the review goes up, but my baby's face, the photos of the permanent damage, of her unable to open her eyes or go outdoors without a mask, were nowhere to be found on the review. I called back, and spoke to the team lead, who without hesitation, said 'oh, Chewy doesn't allow people to post pictures'...REALLY?! I informed him that HE told me the pictures were included and approved, to look at the product reviews, that there were pictures, even on that actual product, that when you write a review it asks you for up to 6 photos!
The life jackets we bought had hundreds of pictures, current and from past years. (Of course, they were cute and fun, not of a poor baby who has permanent damage with her eyes swollen shut!) To which he acted completely baffled. And said he was sending the manager in charge of posting this a message so we could get this resolved. Honestly, the only reason I did not file suit against them is because they seemed sooo concerned (in the beginning), even sent flowers. Of course, kindness goes a long way, but so does sincerity! Now I'm told that the manager who took care of it isn't in for 2 more days.
Meanwhile, people may continue to purchase this item, an item no longer sold by pet stores other than Chewy, my little one's face is not seen, and I have to go through this mess all over again! It will be a month that we've been doing this! I would think posting a review is a heck of a lot better than being asked to pay all of her current and future vet bills/restitution. Really, it's a no-brainer (posting a review vs filing suit...). So, at least here I can post 1 photo so you all can see what happened to our girl (my seizure alert service dog!). Take, note, I no longer see Chewy as a caring, compassionate company (as stated below). Their concerns, in my opinion, are more about sales and no concern of your dogs actually safety!

I will start by saying that Chewy customer service is excellent. When we lived in a single family home, every order arrived as placed, and the service was perfect. We have recently lived in 2 different apartment complexes, while relocating and embarking upon a custom built home. Every order in each apartment has had an issue. Chewy customer service dealt with each problem promptly, and they have been super. Since this has happened at two different addresses, with different security and delivery features, I can reasonably conclude that all of our problems could be attributed to shipping (FedEx) - but the fact remains that not a month has gone by without a delivery issue. I will return to Chewy when I am back in a house, but have temporarily paused autoship while I live in an apartment.

When my Autoship was fulfilled, one of the items had to ship from a different warehouse. Without telling me first, it caused a hold to be put on my account for an extra $68. I'm told it will be removed when the order is complete. However, due my tight budget, this extra charge caused issues at my bank. Chewy did offer to fix it, but only if I got on the phone with them and my bank. I am work and can't do a personal conference call. They shouldn't be allowed to double charge for any period of time, and I will not do business with them again.

Shipping is quick. But what I want to say today is about what happens when your pet dies. Chewy is supportive and caring. You are part of their family. When my dog passed away I asked about returning unopened items I had left. They gave me prompt credit on every inventoried item and then said, "Don't return - just donate the items."
They asked me to send pictures and I sent one of my cat and the dog who passed. They later sent me beautiful flowers as condolence. Then today I opened my mail and they have sent me another handwritten card and enclosed two original paintings on canvas ready to display. One picture of each of my pets. I cried and was so touched by their sympathy and connection to me and my pet family. Amazing group of people.

A few months ago 2 containers of cat treats were crushed in a delivery - I barely got out my complaint before I was told they would send out new ones.

When my dog passed away, I still had a case of his prescription dog food that was unopened. It is not inexpensive, about $80 of dog food that I purchased online from Chewy.com. I got online to find out if it would be possible to return the product, but I did not expect them to accept it because it is a prescription dog food. The online agent Jahnay ** asked me why I was returning the product. When I explained that my pet had passed away, he immediately responded with condolences.
He did not ask another question, just sent me a message that they would be refunding the entire cost of the case of food and told me that I could donate the food to a pet charity in my dog's name. I cried! How generous and considerate they were, to make this difficult exchange easy for me. I highly recommend Chewy.com.

I recently adopted a new pet so I needed a variety of items. I put in an order for over $49 to get free shipping. However, when I got home from work, I realized I needed an additional item. I placed the order and figured I would spend the money on shipping. A short time later, I discovered another item I needed. I decided to wait on purchasing it or look into getting it somewhere else. I decided to call Chewy.com to see if the orders could be combined. The man on the other end was extremely helpful and efficient. He not only combined the orders and saved me money on shipping; he also, added the other item I had not ordered yet.
The process was so simple and easy. It was refreshing. The call took less than 5 minutes for everything. I was able to call at 1:30 am since they are available for calls 24/7 (I work evenings so this is an amazing service to offer).

Anyway our July delivery went out as scheduled in two separate boxes but one (the most expensive part of our order) never made it to our doorstep even though tracking showed that it had been delivered.

In fact, my mouth fell open when he said, "Please donate the item to a Dog Rescue."... I was thrilled and that much more impressed. It's very obvious that Chewy cares. I'm impressed and look forward to doing business again!

You have to be careful with Chewy. Their prices are constantly fluctuating, and I've never been able to figure out their claims of the retail price. (As in, "normally $18.99!") Normally $18.99? Where? The next week, the same item will say "Normally $14.99!" Many times it makes it appear that you're getting a deal, but the prices are more than your local store. I've never received an order in less than five days, so the claims of 1-2 day shipping are not true here. That being said, the convenience of getting items delivered at home is nice, as long as you skip the autoship feature, and are very aware of prices around you.

Chewy's customer service is second to none. They are unfailingly accurate and the shipments are at my door in warp speed. And so I decided to try their own brand of dog kibble for my 8 year old Collie who has been on Petcurean Now Turkey, Salmon and Duck for several years. I top this off with a few scoops of Natural Balance Lamb and Rice canned. I think it's good to vary your dog's diet. Of course, I was very careful about transitioning from the Petcurean to the American Journey Large Breed Salmon and Sweet Potato Dry Food and did this over several weeks.
My initial disappointment related to the size of the kibble which is labelled as "large breed." It was regular size, if not small. Petcurean's large breed is an enlarged kibble allowing your dog more surface contacts to chew. Her stools, which had been quite firm, became mushy and sometimes loose. I thought this might be connected with different treats I was giving her and cut out the treats. That did not make a difference. Then I transitioned back to the Petcurean and everything was normal again. The ingredients are top notch. I'm sure there is nothing wrong with the food quality. It just didn't work for my dog. Staying with the Petcurean which is an excellent brand.

I am crying as I write this review. My 13 year old Chihuahua passed over on Monday. I called Chewy to tell them because I’ve been purchasing all of my dog food from them for years. I had previously ordered food for Jake but days later he passed away. They credited my account for the Farmina food I would not be using. I also have 2 Chinese Cresteds but they eat Honest Kitchen. It’s 4 days later and I just received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Chewy! I cannot believe that even after becoming such a hugely successful company, they retained their heart and soul. I am so grateful to them for showing such empathy for the loss of my Jake. Thank you, Aaron: the young man I spoke to on Monday. Thank you, Chewy, for retaining your humanity. Exceptional customer service since day 1! I will always be a faithful and satisfied Chewy customer.

Upon several occasions, Chewy has failed to get our merchandise delivered to our front doorstep. They use Fed. Exp. and I suspect they get lazy and decide to leave the merchandise by the front gate in front of the mailboxes. We are seniors, and we order our cat litter because it's too hard to get it up the stairs from our parking garage. Leaving it by our front gate creates even more of a problem, than dragging it up from the car. This has been an issue upon several occasions, so we will not be ordering from them in the future. Does anyone else have this issue who lives in an apartment or condo complex? Maybe they need a different delivery method like UPS, Amazon or USPS.

They are contacting FedEx to find out where my package is and have already had it reshipped. On top of that they refunded me $26.76 to make up for having to go buy some food at the store now.

I have been using Chewy.com for several months now and I have been so impressed with this company I felt I had to give them the praise they have earned. I am a stickler for customer service. I remember the days when businesses actually cared about keeping their customers happy & a person answered when you called with a question/concern. I find it frustrating to call a business & have to listen to 5+ options and then be told to go to their website if I’m experiencing problems with my service. That is why I appreciate Chewy.com. I’ve had occasion to call them 3 times & each time a person has answered, intelligibly stated their name and asked how they could assist me. When an item on my Auto Ship order had become unavailable I received a phone call from Chewy.com apologizing for inconvenience & asking what I’d like to order instead, if anything.
They were very patient & helpful while I perused my options and made an alternate choice. Most recently my order arrived and 1 of the items had been damaged during shipping & had gotten all over the other items. I called on a Saturday and spoke with “Janice” who apologized to me and my pets and sent out a new order which just arrived and prompted this review. The original items, other than the 1 that had leaked out into box, were in no way damaged or unusable as all were sealed in either cans, airtight bags and/or plastic containers. Today an entire duplicate order arrived in perfect condition! I will be donating the items from the first order to our local shelter. After reading some of the posted reviews, most favorable, I felt compelled to mention that in this day and age with so many websites and businesses available to the consumer, I feel that customer service should be rewarded with loyalty.
Chewy.com has earned a customer for life in me if they keep up their excellent customer service and excellent delivery service. I live in a very remote area where USPS does not deliver to individual homes and my only option is FedEx or UPS. Regrettably I will not be renewing my Amazon Prime when it expires since as they have started using the USPS I have to have Amazon orders sent to a relatives home 30 miles away. Not exactly convenient. In conclusion, my opinion is that Chewy.com is a company that stands out for its comprehensive website, its amazing selection and its outstanding commitment to providing unequaled and unique customer service.

After several years using Petfooddirect.com for my pets' needs, that company closed and accounts were directed to Chewy. Since then, I have repeatedly experienced problems with items that were not properly packaged. The boxes were too big, with no packing material to keep the product from moving, or were too small and split at the corners. Strong packing tape was not used, and the cellophane tape was frequently ripped. Often, the tape didn't even cover the opening in the box but was just slapped on haphazardly. I have complained several times by phone.
Customer service has been unfailing polite, and damaged goods have been replaced. Other than the packaging, I am satisfied with the company, since their prices are reasonable, delivery is prompt, and there is good variety of products. But I am ready to stop using the company because of the problems with packaging. Despite regular complaints, there is no noticeable improvement, with at least half of my orders arriving damaged. The last one I received about three weeks ago had one bag (of three) of cat litter that was ripped, but I managed to salvage most of it and didn't complain.
But the package that arrived today was worse even than usual. I immediately saw that the box was damaged, but the tape was mostly intact and nothing was leaking out, so I took it to my apartment without mishap. But when I opened it, I wound up with cat litter all over my floor. One of the bags had a large crossways slit in it, and about half the litter had spilled out. Also in the package was a container of Temptations cat treats, which are packaged at the factory in a very sturdy hard-plastic canister, that is sealed with a very sturdy plastic adhesive strip across the top.
Under the lid is another clear flexible plastic cover that is to be removed so that the treats are accessible through a little flap in the lid. The container had obviously been crushed, and then there were several cracks down the side. Where the lid was supposed to be on the top, the strip that holds it on was damaged, and the lid was broken. Even the inside plastic film was ripped, and some of the litter from the ripped bag had gotten inside the treats.
I am a senior citizen with some mobility problems, and rely on the internet for the bulk of my shopping. Chewy is the only merchant who has presented this kind of chronic problems. This also adds to the problem of having to clean up the mess when cat litter gets all over my floor. I'd like to stay with Chewy, but am afraid I will have to change. Now I see from other reviews that Chewy has been bought by PetSmart, which means I should beware of switching to that company.

I loved Chewy so I'm actually really disappointed to be leaving this review but I don't want someone to end up in my situation. I've ordered from them at least ten times and they were usually good. Recently, I'd say the last three times, have been horrible. The cat food bag came ripped. And in another order, the litter box top was off so litter spilled everywhere in my house. The package it came in was really beat up and the litter that was spilled inside spilled out from the package too. And most recently, my order is taking over a week to come and it's not supposed to take that long. Their customer service is pretty good, they do deserve credit for that. But I am very busy and when problems keep arising I don't have time to call and have them resend stuff. Anyway, if things get better I'll leave a good review. I will give them another chance. But I sadly can't say I recommend them anymore at this moment.

I just got my puppy, so I had to buy everything for him. I researched in depth all the stores available nearby and online to ensure I was buying a product with the best price and the best quality. I think customer service in the United States needs intense improvement, a lot of workers are way too unhappy with their jobs to ensure the best service. However, Chewy.com has truly amazed me with their customer service experience. First, there is a big variety of products offered. After a lot of research, I noticed that the website also had the lowest prices available in the market. I ordered on Monday night, and by Wednesday morning I had already received my package. I am not a big fan of online shopping, so I called to ask a few questions about what I was buying.
The biggest surprise was the phone barely ringed until a truly happy to help person answered the call, there was no talking to automatic messages at all. Only when I received my package I noticed a big 33 lb problem, I ordered the wrong puppy food. I had to call them, and my phone experience was again incredible. Someone was very happy to help me with my problem. The representant quickly found a very satisfying solution, they will give me a refund within 3-5 business days. The representant was also able to order the right small breed puppy food I wanted, as well as check out a toy I had left in the online shopping cart.
I am recommending them to everyone. One of the best customer services experience I have ever had, which is available 24/7, it is a guarantee to your satisfaction. Fast delivery of great quality products with the lowest price on the market makes chewy a great option. Additionally, what makes chewy.com the best option is the company very friendly and thoughtful behavior towards the community as well, instead of making me return the wrong puppy food I bought, the company asked me to donate the food to a local shelter.

Like many posting here, I was a happy Chewy.com customer for several years. That was BEFORE they were bought out by PetSmart. Now, orders are late, I get cases of food with many cans dented (sometimes to the point that the can is OPEN and the food spoiled), and now there are issues with my coupons being stolen. DO NOT SEND CHEWY.COM ANY COUPONS IN GOOD FAITH!!!
I used to place orders and then send the coupons with a letter with the order and item numbers to apply the coupons, and in the past, a credit would show up like clockwork on my card within 5-10 days. About a month ago, I mailed in 2 coupons for Comfort Zone diffuser refills worth $5.00 each to be applied towards 2 items I'd just bought. I only received a credit for ONE of the coupons. I thought it was a fluke, but no... On my next order, I again sent 2 coupons worth $5.00 each - also for Comfort Zone diffuser refills, as this is something I order approximately monthly (but not by autoship). More than 2 weeks have now passed, and no credit has been issued. I called them to ask. The person looked on my account and could only tell me that they "hadn't been received yet". That's nonsense.
The quality of this company continues to spiral downward. That's really PetSmart's goal, though, isn't it? In the end, PetSmart wants all these other little companies they bought to tank and die off, so in the end, they're left as the only alternative. I now can't even buy any Orijen products from Chewy because Orijen refuses to have their products sold by any PetSmart-associated company because of their association with puppy mills. I might as well buy locally though the product is more expensive, even with the coupons applied. Oh how I miss the old Chewy.com. :(

Purchased a dog kennel and harness for about $70 on April 13th. My account got a pending for the total amount then an additional pending for $45 which is now $115 being held for a $70 order. Called and was told me they do a hold and after shipping. That is bull crap.

Chewy is no more. It is now PetSmart. Good things always come to an end. The express shipping isn’t as express anymore. I’ve tried to place an order 2 times with no luck. Out of the blue after shopping with Chewy for many years, I’m told to reset my password. I have followed their instructions, with no luck. I can’t reset my password. So I have decided to shop at another business for my pet needs. I quit shopping at PetSmart many years ago, for many reasons. Too expensive and items out of stock. Now they are Chewy... I was disappointed to hear.

We have placed 2 orders with Chewy and I can't tell you how pleased we are with them, and our dog gives his top paw rating as well! We had a size issue on one order, which was our fault, and they immediately took care of replacing it and did so without any issues or problems. The second order I placed I was having some trouble, called customer service and was promptly greeted by a very friendly and knowledgeable gentleman. He fixed everything for me and made me feel like a truly appreciated customer.
They carry quality products with excellent pricing. Shipping is super quick and well packed, whether it's a 40lb bag of food or a small harness. Follow up is sincere and they are truly interested in your satisfaction and your pet's happiness. If they carry it, I will only order from Chewy now. I only wish other companies were as customer oriented and made it as pleasant to do business with as everyone at Chewy!!!

I've been a chewy.com customer since before Petsmart bought them. Lately, I've had issues with being charged for items never shipped (auto delivery that was out of stock), double charging on shipments, and today, charged for an order in full although only part shipped and then being charged again for the part that shipped from another warehouse. When I used to work in retail, billing customers prior to shipment was illegal. When I talked to customer service I was told that it should clear itself up within 24 to 48 hours since it was only "pending". No offer to fix it right then, which is what they used to do. Essentially they get to use my money for the next 1 to 2 days while I do not. Very unethical business practices. No other online company that I deal with charges customer for orders that haven't shipped. I'm done with them. Back to Amazon I go. My advice, watch your bank accounts closely when you order with them.

I have tried several different cat foods. My cat, Sam, did not like any of them. He refuses to even try soft cat food. :( He is missing many teeth and his coat is full of flaky skin cells. So I recently ordered Merrick Purrfect Bistro grain free cat food from Chewy. He loves it!!! Very pleased with Chewy and their quick reliable shipments. Thank you!!

I purchased a case of cat food that my cat hated. I was willing to return it and pay for the can I did open. Chewy refunded my money and in return asked that I just donate the food to a worthy cause. NOW THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE! Needless to say, they have my business!

I ordered two harnesses for our dogs from Chewy.com. They arrived the very next day but one of the harnesses was too large, so I called customer service to start the return. To my surprise, a real person answered right away, refunded my money, and helped me order the correct size. Macy was great and asked me to donate the harness instead of returning it. Macy and Chewy.com, you made this pet lover's heart smile! I will be donating the extra harness to my local shelter this weekend. Thank you so much!

I decided to give them a try. The pricing is great, the shipping is wonderful but they have literally been out of stock on the dog food 50% of the time. It is not good to keep switching your dog's food, so I had to give up. Sorry Chewy but you struck out big time!

If I could rate Chewy.com a 10 with 10 being the absolute BEST company for your pet needs, I would because I've always had outstanding service from them. Excellent variety, discounted prices, fast & reliable delivery & quality service from a company who truly cares about their customer satisfaction. Their Auto Ship option is awesome, too. Thank you Chewy.com for being my sole provider of food & other products for my precious fur babies. You are THE BEST.

I have been shopping with Chewy for almost a year now, since last September and my cat is a munchkin cat, once I got food (found out she couldn't eat dry and that she is super picky) and wouldn't eat the canned Blue Buffalo I bought her. Got her a very large case of it. First case was dented but they rushed me out a second case. It was fine. They made sure it was double packed. They told me also to donate the other cans that were non-dented and keep the good ones for her. Within a few cans (it also wasn't a variety pack) she was done with it. Go figure, cats right?) Anyway they recently (in the last few days), refunded me for the Blue Buffalo. Since I have changed banking info and debit cards. I called myself to the bank to make sure they would be able to transfer the 35.00 over to the new account.
Lady at the bank told me they couldn't and didn't see the funds. And hung up... So I called Chewy and they requested to help me out. I am autistic and verbally have a small language barrier at times. And so I let her stay on the line with me and merged calls with them and my bank and they got it straightened out. They also had me send photos of my munchkin cat. Part Himalayan and ragdoll. I absolutely love this company. They make you (and your fur baby) feel not like an order number, but a person, and they treat you with sincerity and respect. I will be a customer of theirs for life. They have a wall they put your pet's photo on, and told me to send several photos of her to them. I have also had personal postcards written to Aqua and I from the people I talk to on the phone. They're so attentive and caring.
Definitely choose Chewy. Those complaining about shipping issues, I have been ordering online for years because I can hardly get out of the house due to my disabilities, shipping isn't chewy.com’s issue (I have never had a shipping issue once in the almost year I've been with them). It depends on all kinds of factors, holidays, weather, you name it. Once it's out of anyone's warehouse (my parents worked at a warehouse trust me) it depends on the delivering service at that point to get that item TO YOU! There are natural disasters every day.
You may get something from UPS and not FedEx or something from FedEx and not UPS because different hubs in different areas and the truck it's on may not be able to get to certain hubs that get that product to you in time. No matter if it's Amazon and you get something next day from over 2000 miles away, you still might not get it next day. I've paid next day shipping costs and I still sometimes don't get it next day. It depends on the time the truck picks the item up as well. So this is a whole other story. But Chewy is amazing. Give them a shot. Trust me!

When we called customer service because we had to put our 13.5 year old dog to sleep and realized that the next day our order was going to be delivered the women on the phone was very empathetic. She told us to just donate the food to a shelter once it came and they would credit our account for the amount the bag of dog food was. She expressed her condolences which was very sweet after what we had just gone through!

Without any hassle, the Chewy team was happy to send us a differently sized dog crate because we ordered the incorrect size for our puppy.

I have had nothing but great experiences with Chewy!

This was my first time using Chewy.com in years. I had great experiences in the past with them, (including me accidentally buying THE WRONG DOG FOOD, and instead of them charging me for it when I let them know, they told me to "donate it to a local dog shelter," which I did.) Unfortunately, their prices were a bit higher than their competitors. Now that their competitors have raised their rates, I'm back! I ordered food yesterday and literally got it today! I got it in twenty four hours AND on a Saturday! I love this company and will be back!

I have been a customer of Chewy.com for 3 years. Last week, I ordered a small bag of dry dog food and 2 different cases of canned dog food. My total was in the amount of 59.72. My debit card was charged for 59.72, PLUS additional charges of $22.71 AND $28.70. I immediately emailed customer service and sent bank records along with their own invoice which showed the same charges. I receive the following response from Jamie **, Customer service:
"I'd be happy to explain the charges. When an order is placed, a pending hold is placed on your account for the total amount. In this case, the total was $59.72. Typically, orders ship out of whichever warehouse is closest to you, to ensure speedy shipping. On this rare occasion, some items are sold out of your closest warehouse and need to be shipped from a more distant warehouse. We never fully charge your card until the items have left our warehouse and are on their way to your door. You were fully charged $22.71, $28.70, and $8.31 for a grand total of $59.72. The original pending hold has been released by our system, so you should see the charge released back into your account within the next 24 business hours depending on your bank."
So, the reasoning is because the canned food was coming from 2 different warehouses. But the fact is, I received both cases on the same day and both were shipped out of the same warehouse. While they did remove the charge after 48 hours, I'm disappointed they have started this new policy. They have never done this before in the 3 years I have been a customer. I have found the dog food I want on Amazon.com. Since I'm a Prime member, I get free shipping anyway so I won't have to adhere to a minimum to get the free shipping anymore. I guess since I only have a 4.5 lb Chihuahua, they won't miss me...

I have been waiting for a delivery from Chewy.com for the last 4 days. 2 day delivery is a joke. FedEx's excuse is "It's monitoring winter storms". Right! Interesting that I have received deliveries from UPS, but, it's too dangerous for FedEx drivers. There are no winter storms right now. No reason for FedEx not to deliver as promised. This is not the first time this has happened, but it will be the last. I have decided to end my auto-ship with Chewy and go to AmazonSmile. UPS delivers when they say they will. My puppy will not be at the whim of Petsmart owned Chewy.com.

My dog has to have prescription food because of a health issue, and had a question about it the first time I ordered. Not only was the reply very fast, but it was personal - obviously not an automated email, and even said that they would love to see a picture of my puppy. I sent one over (in a personal-like, non business-y emailing convo) and thought that was the end - nope! Today I received my (second) handwritten thank you card... and a hand-painted canvas of the pic that I had emailed that day. WOW. Needless to say, I will never get my pet products from anyone else. Thank you, Chewy!

We have been ordering up to $150 twice a month from Chewy. At first they were really fast (within their 1-2 day advertised delivery). And now I will be lucky to get my most recent order on the 4th day even though they told me they opened a new distribution center less than 50 miles away. When I called I was told that if you order on a weekend, FedEx will now only ship during the week. Why then should anyone rely on Chewy’s 1-2 delivery advertisement. Maybe I could just not tell my pets to eat for the extra 2 days. If I have to travel out and supplement my food order I might as well get everything for the next 2 weeks. So disappointed in them.
Updated on 04/03/2018: You will see my nightmare experience below (ordered 3/31 and Chewy and FedEx can’t track order). Now after 4 phone calls and a promise that my order will be here tonight, Chewy has to resend the order. It is now Tuesday and they said replacement will be here by Friday (coming 35 miles from their warehouse). Inexcusable PETSMART and Chewy. Appears to look like 1-2 day advertisement. 3rd time this has happened and I spend $130-$160 on each order.

We ordered prescription dog food from this company for 1.5 years. The auto-ship price was the cheapest we could find anywhere. A couple of times I misjudged when I needed the order and the customer service representatives, available at all hours, made sure my dog had food when she needed it without extra charge. However, the most amazing thing was when my dog died, I called about a brand new box of food that had just been delivered. They asked I donate it to a local shelter, credited the cost of the food back, sent the most sincere, beautiful email asking for a picture of my dog so they could celebrate her life with me, and... sent flowers the next week. We received the most support during this difficult time from an online dog food company, but it was so welcome and comforting because it felt very sincere. Please use this company! They are committed to customer service and quality and it shows!

I've ordered every month from Chewy for the last 6 months or so. I've never had any issues with the orders. This time, I had ordered two boxes of cat litter.
