Does Chewy Have What Your Pet Needs?

Chewy is an e-commerce retailer with a wide range of pet supplies for all of your pet needs. Whether your pet is furry, feathered, finned or scaled, Chewy offers what you need for optimal pet health, happiness and wellness – with fast and convenient shipping.

There are over 129 million households in the U.S., according to recent U.S. Census data. A 2021-2022 survey by the American Pet Products Association estimates that 70 percent of American households, or about ​90.5 million​, have a pet. That's a big market – and a varied one.

While dogs and cats top the list of pet types in American families, freshwater and saltwater fish, birds, small animals and reptiles are present in more than ​36.5 million​ U.S. households.

Chewy has the pet food and other pet supplies for all pet types, including horses, which account for 3.8 percent of all U.S. pets.

The Chewy website has sections that are a bit like mini-shops for every pet type and pet stage. If your furry friend is a canine, you'll find everything dog-related carefully curated.

• ​Everyday Essentials:​ This area has dog food, dog toys, dog treats, grooming supplies and other daily pet needs.
• ​Health and Behavior:​ Here, you'll find health care products and training and behavior items, such as potty pads and invisible fences.
• ​Dog Home and Gifts:​ This section carries dog beds, dog crates, smart home devices, household items and gifts for pet parents.

Looking for Greenies dental treats? Check the treats area or dog dental care. The Chewy site is nicely cross-referenced and easy to navigate. Pet owners can narrow down the search by select brand, price or customer rating.

There are also specialized sections for new pets, puppies and kittens, which pare down the offerings to display all the right pet care choices for your new or pint-sized best friend.

A prized perk of Chewy's selection is the online pet pharmacy. In addition to shopping for pet care essentials, you can get your pet meds delivered as long as you have a valid pet prescription from your veterinarian on file.

A related Chewy service is "Connect with a Vet," offering text or video chats with licensed veterinarians. The service is free for Autoship customers. Without Autoship, Chewy customers pay $14.00 for a text chat or $19.99 for a 20-minute video consultation.

While weekend trips to the dog-friendly brick-and-mortar pet store have their charm, there is a lot to be said for the convenience of ordering through the chewy.com retail site and pet pharmacy.
