Cancel Your Chewy Autoship Subscription Guide

Understanding Chewy Autoship: How the Service Works

Chewy's Autoship program is an automatic delivery system that sends pet supplies to your home on a schedule you set. When you enroll a product in Autoship, Chewy handles the ordering and shipping for you without requiring you to manually reorder each time. This guide explains how to cancel this service if you decide it no longer meets your needs.

The Autoship program works by letting you choose which products you want delivered and how frequently. You can set delivery intervals ranging from every 2 weeks to every 12 weeks, depending on the product and your pet's needs. Once enrolled, Chewy charges your payment method on the scheduled delivery date and ships the items to your address. The service is optional—you don't have to use Autoship for any of your Chewy purchases.

One important feature of Autoship is that you can receive a discount on enrolled products. The discount percentage varies but typically ranges from 5% to 20% off the regular price. This discount applies automatically when items are part of your Autoship subscription. If you cancel Autoship for a product, you'll pay the full regular price on future purchases of that item.

You can manage Autoship subscriptions through your Chewy account online or through the mobile app. Your account dashboard shows all active Autoship orders, upcoming delivery dates, and the products included in each subscription. You have flexibility to adjust delivery dates, change product quantities, skip a delivery, or cancel individual items without affecting other parts of your account.

Practical takeaway: Before canceling, review your current Autoship discounts and consider whether losing those savings is something you're willing to accept. If you only want to cancel one product, you don't need to cancel your entire Autoship account—you can remove just that item from your subscription.

Step-by-Step Process to Cancel Autoship Online

Canceling your Chewy Autoship subscription through the website is the most common method. The process takes just a few minutes and can be completed from any device with internet access. Here's the detailed process for canceling through Chewy's website.

Start by logging into your Chewy account using your email address and password. If you don't remember your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page to reset it. Once you're logged in, look for the "Autoship" section in your account menu. This is typically found in the main navigation area or under account settings. Click on "Autoship" to see all your active subscriptions and upcoming deliveries.

Your Autoship dashboard will display each subscription with information including the next delivery date, products included, the discount percentage you're receiving, and your total savings. Find the specific subscription or product you want to cancel. You'll see options next to each item or subscription. Look for a button or link that says "Skip," "Pause," "Edit," or "Cancel." If you want to remove just one product from an Autoship subscription, click "Edit" to access the items in that order and remove the specific product. If you want to cancel the entire subscription, look for the "Cancel" option.

When you select cancel or remove a product, Chewy will typically ask you to confirm your decision. You may be shown a confirmation page or a popup window asking "Are you sure you want to cancel?" before the action is final. Some cancellations include a brief survey asking why you're canceling—this is optional feedback that helps Chewy understand customer preferences. After you confirm, the cancellation is processed immediately.

After cancellation, your Autoship subscription will stop and you won't receive automatic deliveries or be charged on the scheduled date. Your account will show the subscription as inactive or canceled. If you need to reorder the same product, you can purchase it as a regular one-time order or re-enroll it in Autoship later.

Practical takeaway: Take a screenshot or note the product names and quantities from your current Autoship before canceling, in case you want to reorder or need a record of what you were receiving. This information is also useful if you want to switch to a different retailer but need to know the exact specifications of what you were buying.

Canceling Autoship Through the Mobile App

Chewy offers both iOS and Android mobile apps that let you manage your account and cancel Autoship subscriptions from your phone or tablet. The mobile app process is very similar to the website method but may have slightly different navigation due to the app's layout.

Open the Chewy app and sign in using your account credentials. At the bottom of the app screen, you'll usually see a menu bar with several options. Look for an icon or tab labeled "Account," "Menu," or a person icon—this is where account settings are located. Tap this option to access your account menu. From there, look for "Autoship," "Subscriptions," or "Orders" sections. Different app versions may label this slightly differently, but the functionality is the same.

Once in the Autoship section, you'll see a list of your active subscriptions with upcoming delivery dates. The app displays the same information as the website version, including product details, delivery dates, and your discount percentage. Swipe left or right on the subscription you want to modify—many apps use this gesture to reveal additional options. You should see buttons or icons for options like "Edit," "Skip," "Pause," or "Cancel." Tap the cancel option for the subscription or product you want to remove.

The app will ask you to confirm your cancellation, sometimes with follow-up questions about why you're canceling. After confirmation, your Autoship subscription is canceled. The cancellation happens immediately in your account, and you won't receive the next scheduled delivery. If you previously received a discount on that product, you'll pay full price on future purchases.

If you have any trouble finding the Autoship section in your specific app version, use the app's search or help feature. You can search for "cancel autoship" or "manage subscriptions" within the app to find the relevant page. The search function can save you time navigating through menus.

Practical takeaway: Keep your Chewy app updated to the latest version, as navigation and features may change with updates. If your app seems to be missing the Autoship cancellation option, try using the website instead—sometimes newer features appear on the website first before being added to the mobile app.

Canceling Autoship by Contacting Chewy Customer Service

If you have difficulty canceling Autoship through the website or app, or if you prefer to speak with a representative, Chewy offers several customer service options. You can contact customer service to cancel your subscription, and they can process the cancellation for you while also answering any questions about your account.

Chewy provides customer service through multiple channels. You can chat with a representative through the live chat feature on the Chewy website—look for a chat icon in the bottom right corner of any page. Live chat is typically available during business hours and connects you with a Chewy representative who can access your account and make changes. Simply explain that you want to cancel your Autoship subscription, provide your account information if requested, and the representative will process the cancellation for you.

You can also reach Chewy by phone. Find the customer service phone number on the Chewy website's "Contact Us" page. When you call, have your account email address and any relevant order or subscription information ready. This helps the representative locate your account quickly and process your request. Phone representatives can cancel single products or entire Autoship subscriptions and can answer questions about any charges or refunds related to your account.

Email is another option, though it typically takes longer than chat or phone. You can send a message through your account or use the contact form on Chewy's website. In your message, clearly state that you want to cancel your Autoship subscription and include your account email address and the specific products or subscriptions you want to cancel. Chewy's email support generally responds within 1-2 business days.

If you have an upcoming delivery that's already been charged or is about to be charged, mentioning this in your cancellation request can help the representative prioritize your request. They can sometimes process cancellations immediately to prevent a charge if you contact them before the order ships. However, if your order has already shipped, you may need to follow Chewy's return or refund process instead.

Practical takeaway: When contacting customer service, be specific about which products or
