Chewy can provide fast delivery of just about every type of dog food (not to mention treats, toys, supplies, pet meds, etc.) under the sun. The best feature of the website is how easy the company makes it for you to filter through to the kind of food you want. Chewy's interface is more like a travel website than anything else. Along the left side of the screen, customers can filter by type of food, brand, food form, packaging type, food texture, special diets, food flavor, health features, age breed size, and customer rating. As far as marketplaces go, Chewy is the most extensive and also makes the process easier than just about anyone else.

Chewy also markets its own house brands of products ranging from wet and dry dog and cat food, toys, accessories, supplements, flea & tick treatments.

Lately chewy has been screwing up deliveries. By tracking packages, there has been odd patterns of trucking where it will show your item is close and then changes to even a different state entirely.
