Who Is Chewys Pet Supplies?

Chewy Pet Supplies was initially launched in 2011 and was the brain child of Ryan Cohen who has stated that his inspiration for picking the pet category came from his experience shopping for his poodle, Tylee.

Ryan Cohen was the Co-Founder and CEO of Chewys Pet Supplies and according to Wikipedia has stated that his father who ran a glassware importing business was his mentor.

Chewy Pet Supplies have always prided themselves on being the most trusted and convenient online place for all pet parents and in their mission statement have said they view pets (and pet parents) as family and are obsessed with meeting their needs and exceeding customer expectations through every interaction.

Chewy Customer Service

Chewy have always prided themselves on their commitment to customer service and have built their brand and reputation around this.

In an excerpt from their corporate overview they have said, We “WOW” pet parents through 24/7 assistance, advice and encouragement every day of the year.

After reading several reviews, and through my own personal dealings with the customer service team at Chewy Pet Supplies I agree with the statement regarding their customer service team.

The customer service team have always been extremely helpful and efficient and if you order within the USA will be guaranteed a 2-day shipping policy which this team ensure to make happen every time.

Chewy Promise

Their tag line is “Were Always Here For Our Customers” and that is something I have found to be true.

I am a dog owner from Australia and while we have a variety of pet supply options to us here I still remain a customer of Chewy due to the range of products, and as stated previously their amazing customer service.

Chewy, currently have over 2,000 of the best and favorite brands available on the market today including Blue Buffalo, Nutro and Natural Balance to name just a few.

The thing that impresses me most about dealing with Chewy is that you get access to pet industry experts 24/7 to help you make the right decisions when it comes to your pets health and happiness.

They also have a 100% unconditional guarantee policy in place on every order you place, meaning that if you are not pleased with the new food, toy or any other product from their huge range, you simply call customer service for a full refund.

As Chewy say, “Shopping For Your Pet Has Never Been Easier”

The Chewys Pet Supplies Culture

So as you can see after reading their operating principles, Chewy really are committed to deliver the BEST products with the BEST service, and they don’t intend to stop their – Chewys Pet Supplies wants to become even better!

As you can see from the above screenshot, Chewy’s has all your pets covered with their huge range which you can check out by simply clicking the picture or having a look at the Chewy Pet Supplies website.

Is Chewy Better Than Petco?

While both Chewy and Petco offer a great online selection of pet products for just about every pet you can think of, Chewy leads the way with its auto ship option (Which Petco has now implemented) and free 2 day delivery on all orders over $49.

The Chewy auto ship program means that you can sign up to have your pets products (usually food related) delivered to your door on a regular basis.

If you are purchasing larger items (dog food, cat food etc.) and want the best deal I would highly recommend Chewy.

With Chewy’s free 2-day shipping offer on all purchases over $49 and no extra charges for heavier items they are miles ahead of Petco, who only offer the free shipping option on certain products and weights.

What Are Customers Saying About Chewy Pet Supplies?

It is like everything you read on the internet from bloggers these days in that who can you trust?

I mean usually bloggers have some kind of affiliation with that company (And yes I am an Affiliate with Chewy) so don’t take my word for what Chewy brings to pet owners (And again yes I also purchase all my dogs products from Chewy) have a read of what other customers are saying, good and bad below;

We had been ordering our pets prescription medication from Chewy.

Our sweet 14 1/2 year old beagle Lucy passed away last week. I did a live chat with Chewy asking if I could return the unopened medication.

The customer service rep said they could not take the medication back, but he already had processed a full refund for the unused medication!

We will be donating the medication to another pet in need. Yesterday our doorbell rang and it was a delivery of a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a sweet note from Chewy!

We were always impressed with Chewy’s customer service. Everything they have recently done goes above and beyond customer service. We hope to get another dog when the time is right, and when we do we will definitely be coming back to Chewy!

The customer service is outstanding.

I made a mistake on the shipping address for an order for my pet, instead of choosing my address at checkout I had chosen one from a Secret Santa gift exchange for another pet and didn’t realize this mistake until package was delivered.

Unfortunately the pet and owners had moved and their was no way to claim the box. I contacted their customer service online and they immediately reordered all my items at no additional cost to me!

I was so grateful that I sent a pic of my pup to the representative to show mine and my dog’s appreciation.

Just yesterday I received a painted portrait of my girl in the mail from Chewy as a gift, the representative sent the pic on to have it made. I really liked Chewy before, but now I can’t stop raving about them!!!!

Carlie Sami Pensacola, FL

I have been ordering from Chewy for about two years.

The products are great, delivery is quick and in good condition…their was one time when the box was damaged from the delivery service and a few of the cans of pet food were dented.

I contacted Chewy, sent them a pic of damage and they immediately sent me replacements with no shipping cost.

The customer service is the best and they really care about their customers and pets.

Will continue ordering my supplies from them.

Bobby Sue Norwich, CT

I ordered 6 times. 6 times I called customer service to complain that orders were not delivered to apartment door.

Every single order was left on the front stoop of the main building or in the main foyer. EVERY single time.

I explained I was sending deliveries to my older mom and sister that was recovering from surgery.

I can not believe after talking to supervisors every time, and having them put on delivery instructions, “Leave at door”, Fed ex couldn’t be bothered.

We understand that Fed Ex is another company but they are paid well by Chewy to deliver packages to doors.

We kept asking the supervisors to have management talk to Fed ex. They promised they would and call me back… ( cue crickets).

I stopped using Chewy. I use Petco & Walmart and they are able to get packages to the door.

Sharon Johnson Arlington, TX

I hate writing this review.

Until a few months ago I would have given Chewy five stars even though it’s true they package heavy items along with fragile ones and cans end up dented and bags end up torn.

The prices, customer service, and delivery of heavy items right to my front door made all that tolerable.

But in the last few months about every third order I receive is incorrect. Items are missing. I get dog food instead of cat food.

And yes customer service sends me the missing items with no complaint, but in the meantime I have to buy the food I need at the pet store.

Also, orders are taking longer to get here. They used to arrive in one to two days. Now they do not arrive on the day given in the shipping email.

They arrived one, two, or even three days later. They are no longer the reliable company I depended upon.

My Final Thoughts

As I said earlier on in this blog, I am in Australia and have been using Chewy Pet Supplies for over two years now, for about 90% of my dog purchases and am extremely pleased with both the product range and the customer support team that Chewy has.

While I don’t get the 2 – 3 days shipping I think the longest I have ever waited for my products is about 14 days which in our current Covid climate is pretty good. I have had orders arrive within 7 days.

I highly recommend Chewy and would love to hear from anyone either currently using Chewy or any other pet supply companies.
