Cancel Chewy: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your chewy account or autoship subscription in canada
What chewy is and why you might want to cancel
Chewy is a major online pet retailer serving Canadian pet owners with food, treats, toys, and supplies delivered straight to your door. The service operates on three main options: one-time purchases, Autoship recurring deliveries (with a built-in 5% discount), and Chewy+ membership, which adds free shipping and rewards for an annual fee of $35 CAD in select areas.
You might cancel for several reasons: your pet's dietary needs changed, you found better pricing elsewhere, you're switching to a local supplier, or the membership fees no longer fit your budget. At Stopee, we understand that subscription services should work for you, not against you, which is why we've mapped out exactly how to cancel Chewy quickly and safely.
Understanding your cancellation options
Chewy offers three separate cancellation paths depending on what you want to stop: your Autoship order, your Chewy+ membership, or both. Each has its own timeline, refund rules, and process. Mixing these up is the number-one mistake Canadian customers make, so we'll walk you through each one clearly.
Chewy's pricing and plans in canada
Here's what you're paying for and what you'll stop paying when you cancel.
| Plan | Price (CAD) | Billing period | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chewy+ membership | $35.00 | Annual | Free shipping on eligible items, 5% rewards on purchases, member-only offers, 60-day free trial (Southern Ontario only) |
| Autoship & Save discount | 5% off eligible items | Per order (ongoing) | Applied automatically to eligible Autoship orders; no membership required; update, skip, or cancel anytime |
| One-time purchases | Full price | One-off | No discount, no commitment; standard return window applies |
Your consumer rights in canada and refund eligibility
Canadian consumer protection law protects you when cancelling subscriptions and membership services. Understanding these rights strengthens your position if Chewy refuses a legitimate refund request.
What canadian law says about membership cancellations
Under provincial consumer protection legislation (including Ontario's Consumer Protection Act), you have the right to cancel a subscription or membership within a statutory cooling-off period. For Chewy+ specifically, you're entitled to a full refund of membership fees if you cancel within 3 business days of sign-up or conversion from a trial, minus the value of any benefits you've already used. After that window closes, refunds are only available if you haven't used your membership benefits since the latest charge.
Stopee recommends documenting your cancellation request, especially if you're seeking a refund based on consumer rights. Keep screenshots of your account, emails you send to customer service, and any responses Chewy provides.
Return and refund windows for products
Chewy offers up to a 365-day return window for most items, which is among the most generous in the industry. Most items are fully refundable; Chewy typically doesn't require you to return the item and may even ask you to donate it to a local shelter instead. Refunds usually process to your original payment method within 3 to 5 business days, or you can receive the credit instantly as a Chewy eGift Card balance.
Important exceptions: Prescription medications and eGift cards are generally non-refundable except on a case-by-case basis (for example, if the item arrived damaged or incorrect). If you've purchased through Apple App Store or Google Play, refund eligibility may differ; contact Chewy customer service for guidance on those transactions.
How to cancel your autoship order in canada
Cancelling an individual Autoship order is the simplest process and can be done in under two minutes through your account or by phone.
Steps to cancel autoship through your account
- Sign in to your Chewy account at chewy.com or via the mobile app.
- If you don't remember your password, use the "Forgot password?" link on the login page.
- Navigate to your Autoship Manager (usually visible in your account dashboard or under "Orders").
- Look for the section labeled "Upcoming Autoship Deliveries" or "Autoship Schedule."
- Find the scheduled shipment you want to cancel or skip.
- Each order shows the delivery date and items included.
- Select the order and choose one of three options: Update (change items), Skip (delay this shipment), or Cancel (stop this order).
- Click "Cancel" if you want to remove this specific shipment permanently.
- Confirm your cancellation.
- Chewy will ask you why you're cancelling; this feedback is optional but helpful.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation within minutes.
- Save this email as proof of cancellation.
Warning: You must cancel before 12:00 AM (midnight) on the day prior to your scheduled shipment. If you cancel after this deadline, Chewy will charge you and process the shipment. If this happens, contact customer service immediately to request a refund under Canadian consumer protection principles.
Cancelling autoship by phone
If you're uncomfortable with online cancellation or prefer to speak with someone directly, call Chewy customer service at 1-844-422-4399. Have your account number or email address ready. Customer service is available 7 days a week and can cancel your Autoship order while you're on the phone. Pro tip: Ask for a confirmation number so you have written proof of the cancellation.
How to cancel your chewy+ membership in canada
Cancelling your Chewy+ membership is distinct from cancelling an Autoship order. Your membership is a separate recurring charge, and ending it requires its own action.
Steps to cancel chewy+ through your account
- Sign in to your Chewy account.
- Go to Account Settings or your profile menu (usually in the top right corner).
- Find "Chewy+ Membership" or "My Membership" in your account options.
- Select "Manage Membership" or "View Membership Details."
- Click "Cancel Membership" at the bottom of the membership section.
- Choose your reason for cancellation (optional but requested).
- Confirm the cancellation and note any refund eligibility Chewy displays on screen.
- Check your email for a confirmation of membership cancellation.
Your Chewy+ membership will end immediately if you cancel within the 3-business-day refund window or if no benefits have been used since your latest charge. Otherwise, your membership will remain active until the end of your paid period (your next annual renewal date).
Cancelling chewy+ by phone
Call Chewy customer service toll-free at 1-844-422-4399. Tell them you want to cancel your Chewy+ membership, not your Autoship order. Chewy's team can process the cancellation immediately and discuss refund eligibility with you. Pro tip: Ask the representative to confirm in writing via email that your membership has been cancelled and to explain your specific refund status.
Refund eligibility for chewy+ cancellation
You're entitled to a full membership fee refund ($35 CAD) if you cancel within 3 business days of sign-up or trial conversion, minus the value of any member benefits you've used (such as free shipping or rewards). After 3 business days, Chewy will only refund your membership fee if you have not used any Chewy+ benefits since your most recent charge. If you've already received free shipping or earned rewards, you're unlikely to receive a refund after the 3-day window.
Stopee recommends cancelling within the 3-business-day window if you're certain the membership isn't for you. This guarantees your refund regardless of usage.
What happens after you cancel with chewy
Cancelling an Autoship order or membership doesn't delete your account or order history, and it's easier to restart later than you might think.
Your account after cancellation
Your Chewy account remains active after you cancel. Your order history, saved addresses, pet profiles, and payment methods stay on file. You can still make one-time purchases, create new Autoship orders, or rejoin Chewy+ at any time. If you want to fully delete your account and all associated data, contact Chewy customer service to request account deletion.
When refunds arrive
Autoship cancellations don't trigger refunds because you're only cancelling future orders, not past ones. Membership refunds (if eligible) process to your original payment method within 3 to 5 business days. Some refunds appear instantly as a Chewy eGift Card credit. Check your bank or credit card statement to confirm the refund posted; if 5 business days have passed without a refund and you're within the eligibility window, contact Chewy to escalate.
Reactivating your autoship or membership later
You can restart an Autoship order anytime by logging in, returning to Autoship Manager, and creating a new scheduled delivery. You can also rejoin Chewy+ by clicking "Upgrade to Chewy+" in your account. If you rejoin within a certain period after cancellation, Chewy may offer you a discounted or extended trial as a reactivation incentive.
Common mistakes when cancelling chewy in canada
It's frustrating when a cancellation goes sideways, but most problems are avoidable with the right knowledge.
Confusing autoship cancellation with membership cancellation
This is the number-one error. You might cancel your Autoship order thinking you've cancelled your membership, or vice versa. When you do this, you stop receiving pet food but continue paying $35 per year for Chewy+ benefits you're no longer using. Stopee's advice: If you're cancelling both, go through each cancellation path separately and confirm via email that both are complete.
Missing the midnight deadline for autoship cancellation
Chewy charges you if you don't cancel before 12:00 AM the day before delivery. Set a phone reminder 2 days before your Autoship date so you don't miss this window. Once charged, you'll need to contact customer service to request a refund-a process that takes extra time and effort.
Expecting a refund for autoship cancellation
Autoship cancellations don't refund past orders, only stop future ones. If you were charged for a shipment you later cancelled, contact customer service within 24 hours; they may offer a one-time courtesy refund or store credit.
Not checking the 3-business-day refund window for chewy+
Count carefully from sign-up date. If 3 business days have passed (excluding weekends and holidays), your refund eligibility drops significantly. Document your sign-up date and cancellation date to prove you're within the window if Chewy disputes it.
Cancellation checklist for chewy
Use this checklist to confirm you've completed all steps and protected yourself throughout the cancellation process.
| Task | Completed |
|---|---|
| Logged into your Chewy account successfully | ☐ |
| Located your next Autoship delivery date (if applicable) | ☐ |
| Cancelled before 12:00 AM the day prior to delivery | ☐ |
| Cancelled your Chewy+ membership separately (if applicable) | ☐ |
| Received email confirmation of cancellation(s) | ☐ |
| Saved confirmation emails and confirmation numbers | ☐ |
Alternatives to full cancellation
Before you cancel completely, consider whether pausing your Autoship might serve you better.
Skipping vs. cancelling your autoship order
Chewy's Autoship Manager lets you skip individual deliveries without cancelling the entire order. Skip a shipment if you're temporarily overstocked or unsure whether you'll need the next order. Your order stays active and resumes on the following cycle, so you don't have to rebuild the Autoship from scratch. This is ideal if you plan to restart soon.
Downgrading instead of cancelling chewy+
Currently, Chewy doesn't offer a "downgrade" option-you either keep or cancel your membership. However, you can cancel and then make one-time purchases at regular (non-member) prices if you want to test shopping without the membership fee.
How to contact chewy if your cancellation has problems
If Chewy refuses to cancel or disputes a refund, escalation is your next step. Stopee recommends documenting everything for leverage.
Chewy customer service contact information
Phone: 1-844-422-4399 (available 7 days per week)

For Canadian-specific issues, reference your province's consumer protection legislation when writing to Chewy. For example, Ontario customers can cite the Consumer Protection Act.
Escalation: when to involve your province's consumer authority
If Chewy refuses a refund you're entitled to under Canadian consumer law (for example, a membership refund within 3 business days), contact your provincial consumer protection office.
Ontario: ServiceOntario Consumer Protection Act hotline or the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery
British Columbia: Consumer Protection BC
Alberta: Fair Trading Act (AHS Consumer Protection)
Other provinces: Check your local government website for the equivalent agency.
File a complaint explaining the situation, attach your proof of cancellation requests and refund eligibility, and let the authority escalate on your behalf. Most companies respond quickly once a formal complaint is filed.
