Works great, love Chewy!
By Tara on Feb 21, 2020
I always buy my dog's thyroid medicine through chewy, it's so easy and the best price I could find anywhere. I've been buying it for over a year now and never had any problems. Recently the package went missing. Contacted Chewy and they went above and beyond to make it right. Highly recommend

Isn't as effective as medicine from our vet
By Hannah on Feb 5, 2020
I love using Chewy for food and toys for our dogs and I decided to try this medicine for my dog who has a thyroid deficiency. After a month of using it versus the medicine from the vet, he has developed patchy spots in his skin and has been lethargic, leading me to believe that it is not working well.

Chewy's is a bussiness and a Family

11/9/2019 Our family has faithfully been a customer of Chewys since we adopted our boy Link 4 years ago, when we found out about Chewys. The process is easy from placing the order and getting it shipped. Plus, you can call them anytime and they’re always available to assistance Most recently I called the patient services up about a possible refund / return, on vitamins. The doctor changed the vitamins he was on to a completely different vitamin. To my surprise the representative at Chewy’s asked me to donate the food at our local Vet’s office, and that is exactly what we did. Lastly, not only is this company a business, they really are your family members too.

The most unexpected, surprising, and uplifting thing happened. My dog had passed, and I informed Chewys because of pending orders and would you know that Chewys sent our dog – Link fresh flowers. Nobody else has sent flowers, but Chewys did. … more
