I had never heard of Mr. Chewy before they had contacted me.  So this was definitely a chance to try out something that we had never tried before.  Morgan is a pet lover!  She has her dogs and they mean the world to her.  I too love dogs, but the critters we have right now belong to her.

So I grabbed Morgan (who happens to be 13), directed her to the Mr. Chewy website and I told her to shop.  I said you can spend up to $50.  She was like realllllly??  I was like REALLY.  She was all…oh wow!  Thanks mom!  Yer the best!  Wow…the best?  Let’s see how long that lasts…

Anyhow, my kid can shop!  She is a fantastic shopper.  She watches for deals and get’s the most for her money.  She was so excited about some of the products she seen on the site.

She ended up ordering:

When you hit $49, you also get free shipping.  I think Morgan spent right at $49 or right at $50!  She makes me proud…

The website is super easy to navigate, she had no issues shopping and adding to her cart.  When it was time to checkout I had no issues.  It was very easy…that is saying a lot because I am an easily confused person these days.  I walk around in total confusion…always.

Mr. Chewy is definitely a site for the pet lover and I recommend it!

I received a Mr. Chewy gift code to facilitate this review.

And with good reason. Dogs are loyal pets; they make great companions and are much more easily trainable than most other pets. People who own dogs tend to have lower blood pressure, plus a variety of other added benefits. If you are considering adopting a dog for your family, here are a few reasons why you should.
