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.

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!

Trendiest Pet Name: Chloe

Its popularity grew nearly 47%—appropriate for a name that means “blooming.”

Chewy customers tell us their pets’ names in their Pet Profiles. Join the fun—set up a profile for your pet.

Top Dog Breed: Mixed

Our community has over eight times more dogs with mixed or unknown breeds than any other breed.

Trendiest Dog Breeds:

Havapoos (a mix of Havanese and Poodle) and Cavapoos (a mix of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle)

These breed mixes both rose over 340% within our Chewy pack this year.

Top Cat Breed: American Shorthair

American Shorthair cats outnumber all other breeds by 200% or more.

Over half a million rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small pets count on Chewy for food, bedding, and other supplies.

Shout-out to the nearly 200,000 horses in our Chewy community. Howdy, y’all!

In 2024, Chewy pet parents:

• Gave over 160 million treats (your pets are so lucky)
• Protected their pets with over 1.5 million years’ worth of flea and tick prevention

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!
