Questions, answered
How does Chewy handle returns of opened pet food?
Chewy offers an Unconditional 100% Satisfaction policy on all pet products. If your pet dislikes a food or formula, contact customer care for a replacement or full refund. Chewy frequently asks you to donate opened bags to an animal rescue rather than shipping them back.
How long does a Chewy refund take to post to a debit card?
Chewy transmits the refund file to their merchant processor within 24 to 48 hours. Depending on your bank's clearance schedule, the money appears on your debit card statement in 3 to 7 business days.
