Common reasons people leave Chewy: only for pet products, so it won't replace a general store, and free shipping on every order needs the paid Chewy+ membership. We ranked 3 alternatives by how directly each one replaces Chewy, then by reviews, real visits and how recently each app's facts were checked against its own website. Amazon currently ranks first.
