How to unsubscribe from Chewy emails
The fastest way to unsubscribe from Chewy emails is the Unsubscribe link in the footer of any Chewy promotional email - click it, confirm on the page that opens, and allow a few days for the change to process. If you have a Chewy account, you can also manage things from Account → Notification preferences on chewy.com. The wrinkle with Chewy is that a lot of its email is not marketing at all: Autoship reminders, order updates, and pharmacy notices are tied to your orders and keep coming. This guide separates what you can switch off from what stays.

Method 1: the in-email unsubscribe link
- Open a recent Chewy promotional email - a sale alert, a product recommendation, or a "deals for your pet" roundup.
- Scroll to the very bottom and click Unsubscribe.
- Confirm your preference on the page that opens.
- Chewy notes it may take a few days for changes to take effect, so a couple more emails can still land.
Gmail and Apple Mail usually surface a native Unsubscribe button at the top of Chewy marketing emails via the standard List-Unsubscribe header - one click, no scrolling, and it hits the same opt-out endpoint as the footer link.
Method 2: account notification preferences
- Sign in at chewy.com.
- Open your Account menu and look for Notification preferences under settings.
- Switch off the marketing email categories, and review text and push settings while you are there - each channel is controlled separately.
One genuinely useful Chewy quirk: customer service is open 24/7 at 1-800-672-4399, and Chewy's privacy policy lists contacting customer care as an official opt-out route. If a stream will not die, a human will fix it - Chewy support has a strong reputation for actually doing so.
Method 3: bulk-unsubscribe across retail senders
Chewy is rarely the only retailer in your promotions tab. If you are clearing it out, the same footer-link routine awaits you at Target, Amazon, and every other store you have ever bought from. ClearMyInbox finds them all in one scan and lets you opt out in bulk - for the full category cleanup, see our guide to stopping shopping emails.
Verify Chewy actually stopped
Because Chewy legitimately keeps sending Autoship and order email after a marketing opt-out, it is easy to misread the situation weeks later - is that message a promo that slipped through, or a shipment notice you still want? ClearMyInbox settles it: around 30 days after your opt-out it re-checks the sender and labels it Confirmed stopped or flags it as still sending marketing, so you know whether the unsubscribe held without auditing your own inbox.
What stays on: Autoship, orders, and recalls
Order confirmations, shipping and delivery updates, refund notices, and product recall alerts are transactional - Chewy keeps sending them regardless of marketing preferences. So do Autoship emails: the heads-up before each recurring order ships is part of the subscription itself, and silencing it means losing your window to edit or skip a box. If you use Chewy Pharmacy, prescription verification and refill emails are health-related notices and also continue. To stop Autoship email entirely, pause or cancel the Autoship itself under Account.
Frequently asked questions
Will unsubscribing stop my Autoship reminder emails?▾
No. Emails about an upcoming Autoship order, a price change on an Autoship item, or a shipped Autoship box are tied to your subscription orders, not to marketing. They keep arriving as long as Autoship is active, which is what you want - they are your last chance to edit an order before it ships.
Does unsubscribing stop order and shipping emails?▾
No. Order confirmations, shipping updates, delivery notices, and refund emails are transactional and continue after any marketing opt-out. Chewy also keeps sending product recall notices, which its privacy policy classes as administrative email.
How do I stop Chewy text messages?▾
Reply STOP to any Chewy marketing text. SMS runs under its own policy as a separate channel, so opting out of email does not touch texts, and vice versa.
Can I opt out of Chewy emails by phone?▾
Yes. Chewy customer service runs 24/7 at 1-800-672-4399, and its privacy policy lists contacting customer care as an official way to opt out of marketing communications. Ask the agent to remove you from marketing email and they will flag your account.
Why am I still getting Chewy emails after unsubscribing?▾
Chewy says preference changes can take a few days to process, so a short tail of already-queued emails is normal. If mail continues past a week, check whether it is actually an Autoship or order notice rather than marketing, then use the footer unsubscribe link on the specific email that got through.
