Mr. Chewy: Delivering Pet Happiness

Mr. Chewy is a new shopping destination for pet lovers. We have four cats, a basset hound, two frogs and a turtle, so I'd say our household is definitely in their target demographic.

It seems like I am always making a last-minute run to the pet food store, so I was intrigued by the concept of ordering supplies online. Mr. Chewy offers free shipping on orders over $49 and if you schedule regular deliveries, you'll receive 15% off your first shipment. Plus, they stock over 70 of the most popular pet food and flea/tick protection brands.

I placed an order for two bags of the Iams cat food we usually buy. The price was comparable to our local chain pet emporium. I received an email saying my order was on its way within a couple of hours- it was crazy fast! Also crazy was the fact that it arrived via FedEx Saturday delivery with no extra charge. If you consider I didn't pay shipping (since my total was above $50) or sales tax, Mr. Chewy gives those big guys a run for their money!

Fluffy asks "is that for me?"

I was impressed with how many varieties of food they stock, from huge brands to more obscure ones. I'd like to see Mr. Chewy expand their offerings to include toys and other accoutrements for cats and dogs, not just food and treats. It would be great if they offered supplies for other pets, too. Say, for example, turtles or dwarf frogs. Just something to consider for the future…
