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 2,041 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
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 108% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 2,041 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

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.
