Resumen del cargo
This billing code indicates a purchase from Chewy's online pet pharmacy. It represents fulfilling a prescription medication or specialty diet requiring veterinary approval.
Identifying a Chewy Pharmacy order
Unlike standard food and toy orders, prescription items sold by Chewy are processed through their dedicated pharmacy division. This separate billing descriptor helps distinguish regulated medical purchases from standard retail transactions on your statement.
These charges typically appear after the company verifies the prescription with your veterinarian. If authorization is delayed, the charge might post several days after you initially placed the order online.

Why did my pharmacy order take so long to bill?
Chewy cannot process payment or ship until your vet's office explicitly approves the medication request, which can take several business days.
Can prescription diets trigger this charge?
Yes, veterinary-exclusive diets require medical authorization and are billed through the pharmacy system.
Handling pharmacy returns and cancellations
Due to strict federal and state regulations, online pharmacies generally cannot accept returns on prescription medications once they leave the facility. This makes canceling an incorrect order before it ships critically important.
If an item arrives damaged or the wrong medication is sent, Chewy's customer service will typically issue a refund or replacement without requiring the physical return of the restricted item.
- Contact Support Immediately If you notice an error in a prescription order, call 1-800-672-4399 before the item enters the shipping phase.
Can I get a refund on unopened pet medication?
Legally, pharmacies cannot accept returned prescription drugs for resale, so standard returns are prohibited. However, Chewy handles exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
Will Chewy contact my vet for refills?
Yes, their system automatically faxes or portals a request to your clinic when a prescription runs out of authorized refills.
