PetMeds

I've used this company for years for medications for two different dogs. Never had a problem with them, prices were fine, shipping speedy enough and reasonable.

Starting in late 2023 I was unable to print "invoices" for medications which are used to seek rebates or make insurance claims. I have had to wait for half an hour or longer to reach someone in customer service. Still waiting on this simple request to be addressed.

The comments from the representatives have been that the company has had IT issues with a recent upgrade. This seems consistent with an email from the CEO received today apologizing for the issues with customer service and wait times.

Seems to me the email was sent too soon since the website now says there are 21! People in front of me for a chat and an email to customer service was returned as "undeliverable."

These issues have been ongoing now for at least 4 months. I can't recommend using this company when there are other online vet pharmacies that, at least as of now, are not so screwed up.

I spoke with a customer service agent named Al over the phone, my payment had failed to process and I called just to push it through. Al took the time to help me adjust info on my account, asked to make sure my dog Rico was doing okay, and overnighted my package to make sure that Rico got his medication in a timely fashion since I had run out! I was very impressed, and very thankful. I fully intend to use pet meds for my needs going forward. Thanks so much Al, I hope your intuitive customer service gets acknowledged and rewarded!

Unfortunately I had a rocky start with receiving my order due to some kind of computer glitch. The first two customer service reps were very nice but I never received my order. Then the third time was the charm! I got TAMARA! She fixed the glitch, told me she would make sure my order was sent out and made a follow up call to make sure I received my package! Awesome customer service from Tamara! Thank you Tamara!

800petmeds over the course of two years I don't think ever shipped anything on time. Worse, most items, foods in particular, are drop shipped and 800petmeds has no control and often doesn't even know what is going on. The final straw is that their internal systems are hopelessly screwed up. They often just skip shipments without notice when they don't have or cant get an item, no notification. The autoship system will not only skip, but also double fill and double charge you. If you dare complain they ignore you and block you on social media. I will never do business with these people again, it's just hopeless.

Avoid buying from PetMeds if at all possible... I HIGHLY recommend sticking with Chewy and more reliable pet supply companies. I ordered my dog's prescription food 11 days ago and it still has not shipped. The chat function on their website is useless. I have now had multiple agents tell me that they "will have someone from our order specialist dept to contact the vendor to see what is going on with the order and tracking." The agent continued to say, "I do know it does take 2 to 3 business days for the vendor to ship out the order." When you order with Chewy you receive your item at your door 2-3 days after you order it.

My dog has been on monthly medication, theophylline. They did not ship his February medications. He ran out of the 28th. They did not notify us as to why. When I tried to call about this I was on hold for 30 minutes. I had tried to call yesterday and after 30 minutes was cut off. He has been out of his medication for 3 days. They said they will ship tomorrow on Monday. I hope to get a small supply from my Vet to holp me over.

UPDATE: They ended up reaching out to me and trying to figure out what happened to my script, they never did find it? Not sure why? Or how? Anyways, they contacted my vet to get another script and shipped me the meds overnight at no cost. They made everything OK. The lady Delia I had spoke with sincerely cares about the company and the customers and did everything she could to make things right, which she had. However the other employees just don't seem to care about the company or the customers. I cannot say that about all the employees. But atleast about the 2 girls I had spoke with prior. Either way, they sent me my meds, my cat is happy now, so am I! The original review is below. I had this as a 1 star, I am changing to 4.
Terrible company! Will never order from again. No wonder my vet said "only online pharmacy we don't directly speak with"
Paid to have my prescription sent priority and return receipt, I know they received my script. The day they received it, the order turned to processing. I called and spoke with pharmacist. They received it but told me they take 10 days to process. (Which is stated No where) After 15 days I got a letter stating they never got my script, I called again and they said ya we never got it. BS! You told me u had it before, my receipt and tracking said u did! Now u don't! Wtf! No apologies, no explanation. Waste of time and money, not only that my animals suffered waiting for flea meds that never came. Terrible, company!

My veterinarian suggested I use Pet Meds for my cat's flea medication. It was my first experience with this company and saying it was a nightmare is an understatement. The purchase was completely mismanaged. I was assured they had all the information necessary from me and my vet to process the order. When I didn't receive the order in the time frame promised, I contacted customer service only to find the order had never been processed. I was then told they would overnight and that time frame was not honored. Their customer service agents are poorly trained. Wait times on the phone range from 20-30 minutes or possibly more. I would discourage all from dealing with this company. It is a frustrating, annoying experience and your pet will suffer from this company's incompetency.

Order was a week late, called customer service and got someone who couldn't speak English very well. I couldn't understand him. I hate companies that use foreign customer service. California pet from now on.

My order took 6 days before it was even shipped. After a ph call they said they couldn't expedite it. Finally i got an email saying it was shipped USPS. The tracking # was invalid.
When you get great service from amazon and others petmed leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Starting in 2024, 800 Pet Meds was a acquired by PetCare Rx for 36 million dollars. Ever since the merge I have had very horrible customer service over the phone. Totally clueless personnel and very loud back round noise in the call center. Phone connection problems, pauses on the phone, very long wait times and reps who don't speak English that well. For many years I spoke to a person over the phone in this country, mainly in their corporate office in Delray, Fl. And never had these problems. It turns out that when I called to order some products for my pet I got a call center in Africa...? When I asked the rep where I was calling she told me I was calling the US. After speaking with her ordering my pet supplies she finally came clean with me and told she works in a call center in Africa. When I received my order through email conformation she didn't apply the correct discount on my order. I guess I will have to eat the $54.73 difference and will never place another pet order with them again. I tried calling them back to maybe get my discount refunded but the phone system states, "your wait time will be 23 minutes".
I just called Chewy and got an English speaking rep located on the US. No wait time!

Let me just start by saying that the only reason I gave more than one star was because of their online customer service. My senior dog has mobility issues and requires pain meds. I placed orders over two consecutive months for the same meds for the same pet, and had issues both times that were only resolved because I called them.
First, in order to enter a different shipping address than my billing address I had to reenter my card information. This did two things: 1) It triggered a fraud alert on my card, which then was declined; and 2) It changed my billing address to be the same as my shipping address, which also resulted in a decline on my card.
Second, they never informed me that there was a problem with my order. They merely sent me an email that confirmed my order. I only found out there was a problem with my order when I logged back on to my account to check on my order, and saw the order status which read "Problem" as a hyperlink. When I clicked on the hyperlink, the exact same page loaded again in a new tab of my browser. It provided NO information about the problem with my order.
Both times I have used the website to order I have ended up calling customer service to have them complete the order. The website is useless, and I will not be using it again. I will use a different provider next time--one whose website actually works!

I went here to save money on meds for my rat terrier. I will start looking for another company. First, she had a heartworm exam October 2023, and the meds were denied. She went for yearly shots 12/26/23, and I denied the heartworm exam since she just had one. This was the vet's error and not them; however, both parties have made it difficult and a pain in the tail for meds! Both parties should work together to correct the mistakes, and I should not have had to call three times! Then, they denied the gabapentin she is on. They state the vets with the pharmacy denied the meds because it was too soon to order a controlled substance. Interesting! Your customer services reps advised this wouldn't be an issue as long as the vet approved. Do they not all work together and are they not all on the same page? I work total loss insurance, and I go over and beyond to do my best. They should do the job I do and maybe get taken down notches. I deal with a lot daily, and I have to do your jobs too. Get it together! I should call once and it all be taken care of, but every time, this becomes an ordeal.

We have only used them twice because I think without a discount o'er sale there a bit pricey. There service is excellent and and fast on shipping. Like it!

I called for an RX for Simparica and later received an email indicating that I needed to physically obtain the perscription from my VET. I called back and was informed that I could not upload the RX via email and had to send it by snail mail. After approximately 3 weeks, the prescription did not arrive so I made my third call where I learned that PetMeds canceled my order! When I complained, the staff member hung up mid sentence and did not call back even though they had my phone number. I will never do business with Petmeds again.

I always ordered before the shipping deadline. I always paid for overnight shipping. The medicine always arrived 3-5 days later. The last order, which I cancelled, also included medicine my pets need, but I did not order. Found out my account was placed on "auto ship", which I never agreed to. Will be looking for another pharmacy.

I ordered some thyriod medication for my cat. I thought I'd give them a try because they had a deal for first time orders. I ordered 2 months of medication and would recieve 35% off and I planed on going on auto ship.
I recieved a 20 day supply and they kept the other 40 days worth and said they would send them out as refills! They were going to charge me $65 every 20 days! I spoke with the vet, he did not write the prescription for 20 days. They point blank lied to me and try to steal 60 from me every 20 days!. I work at a drs office and have to call in scripts all the time. I guess they weren't counting on that. Please be careful if you plan on doing business with this company.

Have 3 dogs and they all had prescription for flea and tick and heart worm med for 1 yr. PetMeds somehow lost 2 dogs flea and tick prescription and will not fill. Saying I had no refills because they put all 3 under 1 dogs name. I question them and they lie and say never had prescription but sent me some originally. Vet will not renew until year is up so now my dogs have to suffer without flea and tick meds. Bull $#*!. Will never order from them again.

I placed an order on Monday. They didn't contact the vet until Friday or Saturday. On Saturday I got a notice that they had changed the dose of the medication to the wrong one and already shipped it. They never contacted me to let me know the vet changed it to the wrong size. So the wrong medication is making its way to me via first class mail and I have to wait for it to arrive, mail it back and wait for a refund.

It's been an entire week, no shipping, no word from company. Bad business. Would not recommend! 0/10

When i placed my order i did not hear from them about items being out of stock or back ordered. I contacted customer service several times over the course of a month and they told me they'd let me know when my order shipped. In the end they were demanding the nature of my large order saying they needed to know this in order to be able to serve me better, then they proceeded to tell me that now and forever i can only order a few at a time due to supply chain issues, even though i'd placed many large orders from them in the past on a regular basis. I would think they would be happy that someone wants to give them business and be a faithful returning customer placing large orders time after time. Is it not MY business what i use them for? Originally this company was very quick to fulfill my orders, and i was hoping to enjoy my shopping experience with their great prices and fast fulfillment for years to come, but alas this makes me so sad to have to leave such a poor review.

I had ordered a Seresto flea collar and had asked that it be shipped regular USPS 2 to four day shipping. The post office made a mistake (no fault of Pet Meds) and it was somewhere in Illinois after 5 days (I live in FLorida). I explained that the fleas were getting bad and Pet Meds shipped me another collar overnight at no charge and asked that if the original order comes, just write return to sender on the package, and send it back. They have amazing customer service! There was a human that answered the phone, she was intelligent, courteous, and went beyond what I expected in customer service. I will only use them from now on. (By the way, the price was excellent compared to other mail order companies too. I checked).

We had our pets medication on automatic delivery. We received a new bank card, so our order failed to process. The phone calls began and would not stop. I put them on our phones call block so it would only ring once. The phone calls continued. I cancelled the orders. I contacted customer support. They closed my account. The phone calls continued. I tried adding the number to Verizons Call Block list. It is an invalid entry. The phone calls continued. Every 2 minutes and the phone rings once as its on my phone systems call block. I will NEVER order anything from this company again. I am reporting them to the BBB.
