Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Customers appreciate the company's customer service, often describing it as responsive, friendly, and exceptional. Many reviewers shared stories of compassionate support during difficult times, such as the loss of a pet, with representatives going above and beyond to offer condolences and assistance. People value the personalized feel of the business, with some even receiving unexpected gifts like flowers or memorial rocks. However, opinions on other aspects such as order, delivery service, product, and refund are mixed. While some customers report quick shipping and accurate orders, others have experienced issues with items being out of stock or with the way their orders are packed, leading to damaged goods. There are also some concerns about pricing and potential anti-competitive practices.

Always going above and beyond

Always satisfied with our Chewy orders; been ordering from them for 4+ years. The one time we received a defective product, I contacted customer service and they immediately sent out a replacement package with no questions asked. They send our cats birthday cards every year too - a thoughtful touch.

I’m very disappointed with my recent…

I’m very disappointed with my recent experience. My dog food order was delayed with no real updates or communication from the company. I reached out on Saturday and again on Sunday, but both times I was simply told what was already visible on the FedEx tracking page — no effort to actually resolve the issue.

Because of the delay, I was forced to spend $50 on a different brand of dog food just to make sure my dog had something to eat. Anyone who knows about pet care understands that transitioning to a new food has to be done gradually to avoid stomach issues, so this situation has been stressful and unnecessary.

To make things worse, the company only offered a $5.00 credit for the inconvenience, which feels like a weak response considering the lack of communication and the extra cost I had to take on. The brand I normally order is only available through this website, so I expected much better service and reliability. Also keep in mind I have 3 dogs in which I have been ordering from Chewy for over 10 years. The customer service has really went down hill.

I’ll have to reconsider ordering from here again.

They sent me the wrong dog food two times in a row. Therefore my dog went a week without her kibble. Instead of being sorry and trying to make it right they said I had to send back the last bag which was wrong before they could send out the correct bag which would have meant another 5 days (at least) my dog wouldn't have kibble. Absolutely ridiculous customer service

To all Florida Residents that purchase PRESCRIPTION Dog Food & Prescription Medication (Prescriptions needed from a Veterinarian) from Chewy.com, you are being ripped off. The Sate of Florida states that Prescription Dog food & Medication is Exempt from Sales Tax. Chewy has been charging Sales Tax since 2019 to me. The first 4 years they were following the state rules but then got greedy & started ripping off their customers!! Very disappointed in their practice of doing business. I have been trying to recoup my money since June, 2025. Can only go back three years. Statue of limitations!!

For my first order with Chewy

For my first order with Chewy, I ordered 150 dollars worth. I have never received the package - FedEx claims otherwise but there is no signature form - and so I have not been refunded and the fault and loss falls on me. This is after several cordial chats with customer service and patience from my end. Of course mistakes can happen but I feel that the response from Chewy has left me down. Therefore I don’t recommend.

Great company, nightmare deliveries!

I like dealing with Chewy as a company. Their customer service is excellent, though I have not often had to use it. The problem I have with them is their choice of delivery companies. They use FEDEX Home Delivery, which is awful. My home is adjacent to a church building facing the street with an alley behind. I have my house number on the front and back. One time FEDEX delivered an order to the back of the church building alongside a locked gate in the alley. Another time, they left it on the church front steps. My house is situated on a hillside and the front street is about 20 steps lower than my front porch (two flights). They often leave orders at the bottom of the lower flight of steps. They could very easily drop off packages behind my house off the alley where they would not need to climb any steps. Instead they make me do it in spite of living alone with physical challenges. If I have to work hard to claim a delivery order, I might as well drive to the store myself, buy my pet food and bring it to my own back door.

Chewy has been empathetic and says they will complain to FEDEX on my behalf, but sure enough - had to lug my order up the stairs again yesterday. Canceled my autoship and my Chewy.com account today.

Wouldn't reach out to vet even though they say they will

Got emergency vet's prescription and instead of reaching out to the vet as they say they will, they called and emailed me over and over. After, over 20 minutes with two reps, I was never close to having the issue be resolved when they could have just reached out to the vet as they say they will do.

Exceptional customer service !

I am making a point to write this review because this company is Super deserving of it. Chewy is far and beyond the competition when it comes to top notch customer service. In the event that you ever encounter an issue they are jolly on the spot to get it to corrected. they have been an invaluable and integral part of me taking care of my pets. I had two dogs to pass while utilizing Chewy and they refunded my money back for unused foods and even sent flowers as a condolence for the passing of my pets. They are exceptional.

Very Disappointed!

I was very disappointed with Chewy this time. We are traveling from Oregon to Ohio and needed an order of Ark Naturals and Denamarin. I definitely needed the Denarmarin before we left as our pet's liver enzymes are elevated. I received an order of something totally different than my order and called right away. There wasn't enough time to receive the order in Oregon so I told them to send it to our home in Ohio. I got on the site to make sure it was sent and they never sent the Denamarin... only the Ark Naturals and without letting me know..... just supposedly credited the Denamarin. I have to wait to see if that actually happens. In the meantime, I have to find Denamarin on the way home. I am very disappointed with them and will have to question if I will order from them again!

I placed an order for dog food they took the money off my card but sent me an email saying they couldn’t ship it.so I called them to find out why and they said they had to verify my email that was already done when I placed my order they said someone will contact me in 24 hours OK so I told him you took my money. My dog needs his food and you’re giving me a hard time about my order that I paid for I will never use them again. I don’t trust them. I ordered my dogs food from pet supplies and got it within two hours so that’s who I will be using from now on.

I will not rely on Chewy for Dog Rx

I will not rely on Chewy for Rx. I had emails saying to be delivered 10-4 -- and then out for delivery today. Then calling in after 4 - chewy said 'out of delivery today'.. Finally, I went to fed ex home delivery site - with the number etc -- it is not out for delivery. When it comes to prescriptions for one's dogs and cats - I cannot rely on Chewy. they admitted their own (after 3 customer reps and proving what fed ex said -- and tried to weasel with 3-5 days is their estimate - but then why out for delivery today --- blaming fed ex is wrong - as fed ex is their agent. I can only say - for me chewy rx - is not reliable - and they have wasted a good 1 hr and a half of my time as well
