Ordering Dog Food Online: A Mr.Chewy.com Review

I must admit, I am a pet parent obsessed. You know when you walk into your favorite pet superstore and you see a pet owner, with a basket filled to the brim with treats, dog clothing, squeeze toys, and a huge pink pet bed. That’s me…or my husband shopping for our Binky!

Call me a crazy dog lady, but I can’t help it if I love my 6-year old bichon frise to pieces. That’s why when MrChewy.com offered me $50 to spend ordering dog food online, Binky and I jumped at the chance to try new treats and even a new bag of dog food.

Here’s what we ordered:

1. 1 Blue Buffalo Blue Bones Regular, Small & Mini Natural Dental Chew Bones, 12oz Mini for dogs between 5-15 lbs
2. 1 Blue Buffalo Blue Bits Tasty Chicken Natural Soft-Moist Training Treats, 4-oz
3. 1 Blue Buffalo Adult Small Breed Chicken and Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food, 6-lb bag
4. 2 x Flossies Spiral Chews, 6-8″, by Merrick, One Flossie

There are many things that I loved about ordering dog food online at Mr.Chewy.com:

• Over 70 brands available: While Mr. Chewy doesn’t offer the Eukanuba products that my Binky loves, they do have a broad selection of products from Blue Buffalo to Taste of the Wild for dogs. You can easily search for products by your favorite brand, or by different product categories such as : Best Selling Products, Low to High Price,  High to Low Price and Newest Products.
  
• Fast Delivery: I ordered my dog treats and food on Tuesday morning and received a same-day email at noon that the order had shipped. When did I receive my dog goodies? Thursday evening at 6:00pm. You know when you’ve realized that you only have 2 days left on your dog’s favorite food? With a few clicks of the mouse,you can order from Mr. Chewy and get your pet products, within 1-2 days!
  
• Free Shipping for orders over $49.00:You know how heavy it is to drag a 26lb large bag of kibble into the back of your car and then up the stairs into your home? And how expensive it is to ship this large bag if you shop with other online pet stores?  With Mr.Chewy you can ship a large bag of dog food and treats for less than a full tank of premium gas including shipping!

With Mr Chewy, I can set up automatic ordering for dog food and treats. As a bonus I’ll get free shipping and 15 percent off my automatic order.
• Helpful Customer Reviews & Customer Service Options:When you are ordering new products, you want to know what the other pet parents thought about new items like dog treats and dog food. Underneath each product item on Mr.Chewy’s website are reviews from dog and cat owners who can help you decide what’s best for your pet. The website also offers many customer support options via a toll-free number, 24-hour online chat and email.
• Awesome Shopping Cart Display:I’m a visual person and I love having the shopping cart, payment information and shipping information all on one page. In fact, I realized that if I wanted to order another item,  I could easily update the cart with one click to remove items or add more goodies to my doggie haul.

Did I love the experience of ordering dog food online?

I usually write reviews in a pro and con format, but there was only one negative thing out of the 25 positive things about my shopping experience with MrChewy: No Eukanuba.  Other than the small food issue- that I can work around by transitioning my pooch to the healthier Blue Buffalo- Binks and I give Mr. Chewy a 5 out of 5 stars rating!
