Understanding PetSmart recurring charges
Unreviewed registry note: The statement billing entry PETSMART*TREATS represents recurring e-commerce charges from PetSmart LLC for scheduled auto-ship orders or loyalty-linked subscription deliveries. When this charge appears on your bank or credit card statement, it typically indicates an automatic replenishment shipment for dog food, cat litter, nutritional pet treats, or ongoing pet care supplies ordered online.
Unreviewed registry note: PetSmart structures this popular auto-ship program to integrate directly with their Treats Rewards customer loyalty system, which frequently incorporates the word treats into the financial statement descriptor code. Payments process automatically according to your selected delivery frequency whenever warehouse fulfillment and packing begin for your recurring household pet supplies.
