Frequently asked
What types of products does Chewy sell?
Chewy offers a wide range of pet-related products, including food (dog, cat, horse, bird, etc.), treats, toys, apparel, and healthcare items. Its pharmacy division provides prescription medications, flea & tick treatments, and veterinary supplements. The platform also stocks pet insurance options and seasonal items like summer essentials.
How does Chewy's pharmacy service work?
Chewy Pharmacy partners with licensed pharmacists who collaborate with veterinarians to approve prescription medications. Customers submit their vet-approved prescriptions, and Chewy ships the medication directly to their home. This process eliminates in-person pharmacy visits while maintaining compliance with medical regulations.
How do I set up Autoship for recurring orders?
After purchasing a product, select the 'Autoship' option during checkout. Choose your preferred frequency (weekly, monthly, etc.) and quantity. For prescription meds, ensure your pharmacist has approved the recurring order. Autoship saves time and ensures consistent supply without manual reordering.
How does Chewy compare to Amazon for pet products?
Chewy specializes exclusively in pet products, offering curated selections and veterinary services unavailable on Amazon. It provides unique features like prescription medication approvals and Autoship for pet care. Amazon, however, offers broader product categories and third-party seller options, making it more versatile for non-pet-related purchases.
What should I do if my Chewy order is delayed?
Check your order status via the 'Order Tracking' section on Chewy.com. If delays persist beyond expected delivery times, contact customer support using the 'Chat with a Vet' feature. Provide your order number and details about the delay. Chewy typically resolves issues through expedited shipping or refund options.
