About Chewy Charges
Chewy, Inc. is America's leading online pet retailer, selling pet food, treats, toys, medications, and supplies. Charges from Chewy appear on your bank statement as "CHEWY.COM," "CHEWY INC," or "CHEWY.COM/PET." Common charges include one-time purchases, Autoship recurring orders, pet pharmacy prescriptions, and Chewy gift card purchases.
Unexpected charges often come from Autoship orders you may have forgotten about. Chewy's Autoship program automatically ships products on a recurring schedule, which can lead to surprise charges if not managed.
Chewy Refund Policy
Chewy has one of the most generous return policies in online retail:
- 365-day return window: Most items can be returned within 365 days of purchase
- No return shipping required: Chewy often tells customers to donate unwanted items to a local shelter instead of returning them
- Prescription items: Pharmacy items cannot be returned due to regulations
- Personalized items: Custom items are generally non-returnable
- Autoship orders: Can be canceled or modified anytime before processing
