Chewy Pharmacy
Online pet pharmacy with auto-ship refills and vet-verified prescriptions
About Chewy Pharmacy
Chewy Pharmacy is the prescription fulfillment arm of Chewy, Inc., one of the largest online pet retailers in the United States. Chewy Pharmacy allows pet owners to order prescription medications, food, and supplies with the convenience of Chewy's signature auto-ship program. When a pet owner places a prescription order, Chewy contacts the pet's veterinarian directly to verify and obtain the prescription. This means pet owners do not need to physically pick up or transfer prescriptions — Chewy handles the entire verification process electronically. Chewy Pharmacy is particularly popular for ongoing medications like heartworm preventives, flea and tick treatments, and chronic condition medications, thanks to their auto-ship subscription model that delivers refills on a regular schedule.
