Chewy Claus

Chewy Claus is Chewy’s annual holiday tradition, bringing a little extra magic to pets and pet parents everywhere. Each year, pets are invited to share their holiday dreams with Chewy Claus - and this year, those letters can help make dreams come true for shelter pets, too.

Through Chewy Claus, Chewy is helping provide free adoptions and essential supplies for shelter pets across the country, making it easier for more pets to find loving homes.

Because there’s no gift like home.
