Our Year in Pets 2024
You’ve spent the past year giving your pets the best care possible—and all that love has added up to something extraordinary. Sure, you’ve stacked up tons of pet food and towers of toys. But don’t forget the miles of long walks, hours of snuggle sessions, and millions of dollars donated to homeless pets who deserve to live their best lives too.
The love you show your pet makes the whole world a better place, for pets and people alike. So, here’s a snapshot of our Chewy community and all we accomplished this year. Go ahead, give yourself (and your animal bestie) a celebratory treat.
Chewy’s Year in Pets 2024
We have over 20 million pet parents in our pack, caring for dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, and beyond.
That includes over 5 million new pups and kitties—welcome, cuties!

So far, our vets have:
- “Pawdicured” over 13,000 pet nails
- Patched up pets with five football fields’ worth of bandages
Fun fact: We sent birthday cards to so many pets this year. How many? If we took the time to sing happy birthday to each one, it would take over a month to finish singing!
