How do I get through the phone menu to a live person?

Consider using our free service that calls and talks to customer service for you, then sends you a report. Or use our free service that waits on hold and tells you when a human rep is on the line. But if those options don't appeal to you, our team has also documented the phone menu for Chewy below.

Let us call and talk to Chewy for you

Our AI powered phone can dial, navigate the phone menu, wait on hold, and even talk to customer service for you, for free. You don't even need to learn about the path through the various phone options.

We can get a live person on the line for you

That same, free GetHuman Phone can call and navigate the menus and wait on hold for you, but you can opt to do all the talking. We notify you when a rep is on the line and ready to talk, so no need to worry about changing menu options and weaving your way through the maze.
Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.
GetHuman researchers routinely call this Chewy phone number to document the phone system.

Below are some clips we've found from Chewy's phone menus and tips that help give an idea of what you will encounter when you call. We've highlighted why they are important as well:

Heard when the phone system first answers

"Thanks for holding. One of our representatives will be with you in one moment. Thank Thank you for calling Chewy. This is Catherine speaking. Before we get started, this call may be monitored and recorded. Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with today? Mhmm."

They may need the phone number on your account

"Thank you for calling Julie. In order to receive top notch service, this call may be monitored or recorded. My name is Ash May I have the phone number associated with your account, please?"

They may ask your reason for calling (instead of a menu)

"Thank you for calling Chewy. This call may be monitored and recorded. My name is Stacy. How can I help you?"

In fact, much of this information on this page is superfluous because this Chewy phone number is a direct line to a human being. The line is well-staffed and you should anticipate a very short wait on hold or none whatsoever, as long as you are calling during business hours.
We don't know of any phone menus you would encounter when calling either.

What are the hours and when should I call?

Chewy operates the call center for this 800-672-4399 phone number 24 hours, 7 days. The short answer is that you should call on a Saturday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 3,760 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Chewy call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Chewy phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Chewy staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Chewy is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 91% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 3,760 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Saturday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Monday, which is 92% longer than the minimum. As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Chewy

In summation, the best day to call Chewy is Saturday. It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Chewy staffs up on Saturday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
Once again, please put this information in perspective because this phone number has no phone menu or long waits. It generally gets picked up right away if calling during their opening hours. If there is any way, it will typically be very short.

More Chewy Customer Service Contacts

There are of course other ways to contact Chewy customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.

Chewy Customer Service Live Chat

Use this link to chat with customer service online
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Chewy provides this option.

Chewy Customer Help Desk / Web Support

service.chewy.com - Customer Service
Use this link to send a message to customer service online
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Chewy customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
