Losing a beloved pet is never easy. It can be as hard as losing a person and grief might last for weeks or even years. Luckily, there are always emphatical people who are there to support you when things get rough. Sometimes that support comes from the places you expect the least. For instance, pet stores. Recently a man named Joseph Inabnet shared an unexpected sympathy he received from a local pet store after he lost his dog, Bailey.

More info: Facebook

RELATED:

    After his pet passed away, the heartbroken man decided to return the unopened bag of dog food back to pet store Chewy. The reply he received from them was rather unconventional.

    They told Joseph to donate the food and issued him a refund. While Joseph was surprised by the response, he didn’t know he will hear from them again.

    A couple of days later he received a package from the same store. Once he opened a package he found a heartwarming gift – a card and an oil painting of his dog. The company made sure that Joseph would have a beautiful reminder of his beloved pet.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The card reads: “It’s hard to say goodbye to a loved one. They will always be remembered and cherished. With heartfelt sympathy, ‘Pets come into our lives, leave Paw Prints on our hearts and we are forever changed.’
    We’re sending lots of love and positive thoughts. If you ever need anything, we’re always here. Warmly, the chewy Family.”

    To show how grateful he is, Joseph made a post on Facebook in hope that it will go viral and Chewy will receive the recognition they deserve. In just a few days his post went viral with over 60k share and over 100k likes. The post worked out as an excellent ad for Chewy, as many people were stunned by their customer service and promised to become their customers.

    The post didn’t go unnoticed by the company too. They wrote a lovely message showing appreciation for their customer.

    I had a similar situation when I lost one of my cats, Janey, to Felv last year. Chewy sent me a flower arrangement with a sympathy card! The care and compassion they show to their customers is unparalleled. The customer service at Chewy is always helpful, kind and courteous. They go above and beyond to help their customers and real people answer when you call!!! They are truly amazing. I can't sing their praises enough. Amazing job Chewy!

    Chewy has always been the best for me. I ordered my usual 48 cans of expensive cat food for one of my finicky cats. He decided he did not want that one anymore. Chewy said to donate it and sent my money back. Their service department is the best ever. Never a late delivery. Never a mistake. Wish I could say that about all online stores.

    Chewy is more than just a pet food online retailer. They sell supplies for ALL kinds of animals; horses, birds, gerbils, fish, reptiles...and occasionally they even have pet-themed jewelry! They are worth browsing just for the fun of it.

    Someone I know's dog also passed away...she called to let them know to cancel the recurring order. The following day she received flowers and a card in honor of her buddy from Chewy. She said she cried...but it made her feel so loved and happy they thought of her. She is a widower and it made her last memories more warm than lonely but shared I think. It was so sweet. I always think of that story when I see a chewy box!

    We use autoship. Chewy contacted me when my dog's prescription food was recalled by Hills Science Diet. They made sure I knew about the recall (which I did) and helped me to check the UPC numbers. Even though the cans we had were OK, they replaced that entire order of very expensive food ($100+) for free AND refunded the original charges as well. The emails I received from Chewy were very human - if you know what I mean. There are actual, breathing people there! They even requested photos of my doggies :) Guess I need to send some.

    First of all, Bailey was adorable. And I can vouch that yes, Chewy has THE BEST customer service I have ever dealt with. They are wonderful. I had an issue with someone placing an order with my credit card and they took care of it immediately and then again with an order that never came and again they were very responsive and helpful. Love them.

    Chewy is awesome. They are actually a big sponsor of the show "Amanda to the Rescue." Amanda goes around saving the dogs that would otherwise be euthanized because of medical maladies. She gets them well or helps them get as normal of lives as possible and adopts them out to people that are educated on how to care for the dog and that are willing to put the time and effort into caring for their special needs pet. She even went to Puerto Rico after the hurricanes and Hawaii during the volcanic eruptions and relieved them of their most medically challenged pups...all with Chewy.com sending care packages and supplies with her. They are an awesome company! When I get my pup, I'm buying from them.

    Oh my dear, I know what you are going through. I lost my precious Yorkie Jenna 20 months ago to epilepsy. Just 7 years old. And here come the tears again...I will DEFINITELY do business with Chewy. I am still unable to read the wonderful card our vet sent us. After over a year of searching (and help from Jenna from the Rainbow Bridge), the hole in our hearts and in our home has been blessed with Zoe, just 3-months-old, and one of the cutest Yorkies you have ever seen. When the time is right, your special angel will find you! You can never ever replace the little person who has gone on, but WOW will it help when your house is filled with another looking for their Forever Home!

    I also had medicated food which I received through Chewy. When my dog passed recently and I cancelled our automatic order I never received anything from Chewy. I filled out why I was canceling and I even spoke with someone to confirm my cancellation and why. A little disappointing after hearing all of these stories.

    Losing our precious furbabies is always difficult.....been through it myself and now have a 9.5 year old and a 6 month old (makes furbaby #15 for my family). I am a devoted member of the Chewy.com family and I LOVE these folks!! I would definitely recommend these folks to any pet parent. They also sent me an oil painting of my babies...one is almost 10 years old and the other is only 6 months old. That truly warmed my heart and let me know that these folks do care straight from their hearts.

    I just became a Chewy Customer about a week ago. Besides horses, we have five dogs and a cat. After WalMarts Canned dogfoid went up by 25 cents each can, I looked around if I can find it cheaper. I was totally surprised by Chewy. Com prices. They were cheaper than WalMarts old prices, not just for the food but also their treats. I placed an order and signed up for automatic monthly orders, which I can change to whatever I need and whenever I need it. No more pushing heavy carts around and loading/unloading the dog purchases three times. Getting it sent free to our front door at no extra cost! Now seeing this beautiful post, I am even more happier with my decision!

    After I lost my beloved Shih Tzu, Chico, I emailed Chewy and asked not to send some of their ads for awhile. I received a beautiful flower arrangement and sympathy card. So unexpected and caring. Later, I sent a picture of my new rescue puppy and received a lovely oil painting of him. They are the absolute best at Chewy. They care for us much more than just being customer.

It does not surprise me that they sent him a painting of his beloved doggy. *sniff* *wiping away tears* We adopted two kittens and I bought them a large cat tree and gave a good review on their website (because the cat tree is awesome!). They emailed me and asked for a photo of our new kittens for their pet bulletin board and asked about when we adopted them. A few months later on my kitties 1st birthday they received a birthday card from the Chewy family. We bought an expensive new bird feeder from Chewy, used it once and it ended up attracting a large poisonous snake who was looking for a birdie lunch. I asked if I could possibly return it since the pest control man recommended that we stop feeding the birds. They refunded our money and had me donate it to a friend whose yard is less wooded than ours. I love Chewy.

    We also lost a beloved dog to renal disease. We received a portrait of our dear girl and it was amazingly lifelike. A memory to last a lifetime. Chewy is the best!

    Here’s the problem for me. I used to be a loyal Chewy customer, but then they were bought by PetSmart and PetSmart practices breed discrimination, and that’s a non-starter for me. Consumers vote with dollars, and I can’t endorse those policies.

    Chewy was fantastic when we lost our old Boxer, Clyde, last year. My mom had bought us some things for Clyde from Chewy. Then, suddenly, we lost both Clyde and my mother in the same horrible week. When I contacted Chewy about returning the items, they sent me a refund, and told me to donate goods we had purchased for him. Then, unexpectedly, we received flowers and a very kind note. Later, we received an oil painting of our sweet dog, as well. I can't believe that, in this day and age, a company continues to take care and service into consideration in the operation of their company. Things like this are really a comfort to those of us who are owned by furry family members. clyde-flow...99eafd.jpg clyde-flowers-5d0516b99eafd.jpg

    Something VERY unpopular is about to happen.... I'm 58 years old. I've had pets. Some I loved....some I loved A LOT !!!! But it's till a freakin' dog. Instead of holding on to tragedy how about we face reality, it's a dog. Just a dog. Not a person, not a saint, not a God. If you can't handle the loss of a dog how could you raise children? Or keep a job? Or do any of things people do every day. It's sad. Acknowledge it and move on.

Mine is when an electronic dog collar didn't work as expected, the refunded my money AND sent me a new one. And those things aren't cheap! I love Chewy and always encourage pet owners to check them out.

    Before Chewy was up and running, I had used a different subscription service and they made it difficult to cancel the subscription after my dog had passed away. I kept trying to cancel it through my account, but they made it so I had to call and then they tried to upsell me while I'm on the phone now in tears because I have to talk about my dead dog to a heartless company that obviously doesn't give a s**t. I stayed far away from subscription pet food services for a very long time until I heard several of these stories about Chewy. I'm trying them for our cat food. Chewy, don't hurt me.

The care and compassion they show to their customers is unparalleled. The customer service at Chewy is always helpful, kind and courteous.

    Chewy has always been the best for me. I ordered my usual 48 cans of expensive cat food for one of my finicky cats. He decided he did not want that one anymore. Chewy said to donate it and sent my money back. Their service department is the best ever. Never a late delivery. Never a mistake. Wish I could say that about all online stores.

    Someone I know's dog also passed away...she called to let them know to cancel the recurring order. The following day she received flowers and a card in honor of her buddy from Chewy. She said she cried...but it made her feel so loved and happy they thought of her. She is a widower and it made her last memories more warm than lonely but shared I think. It was so sweet. I always think of that story when I see a chewy box!

    We use autoship. Chewy contacted me when my dog's prescription food was recalled by Hills Science Diet. They made sure I knew about the recall (which I did) and helped me to check the UPC numbers. Even though the cans we had were OK, they replaced that entire order of very expensive food ($100+) for free AND refunded the original charges as well. The emails I received from Chewy were very human - if you know what I mean. There are actual, breathing people there! They even requested photos of my doggies :) Guess I need to send some.

    Chewy is awesome. They are actually a big sponsor of the show "Amanda to the Rescue." Amanda goes around saving the dogs that would otherwise be euthanized because of medical maladies. She gets them well or helps them get as normal of lives as possible and adopts them out to people that are educated on how to care for the dog and that are willing to put the time and effort into caring for their special needs pet. She even went to Puerto Rico after the hurricanes and Hawaii during the volcanic eruptions and relieved them of their most medically challenged pups...all with Chewy.com sending care packages and supplies with her. They are an awesome company! When I get my pup, I'm buying from them.

And here come the tears again...I will DEFINITELY do business with Chewy. I am still unable to read the wonderful card our vet sent us.

    Losing our precious furbabies is always difficult.....been through it myself and now have a 9.5 year old and a 6 month old (makes furbaby #15 for my family). I am a devoted member of the Chewy.com family and I LOVE these folks!! I would definitely recommend these folks to any pet parent. They also sent me an oil painting of my babies...one is almost 10 years old and the other is only 6 months old. That truly warmed my heart and let me know that these folks do care straight from their hearts.

    I just became a Chewy Customer about a week ago. Besides horses, we have five dogs and a cat. After WalMarts Canned dogfoid went up by 25 cents each can, I looked around if I can find it cheaper. I was totally surprised by Chewy. Com prices. They were cheaper than WalMarts old prices, not just for the food but also their treats. I placed an order and signed up for automatic monthly orders, which I can change to whatever I need and whenever I need it. No more pushing heavy carts around and loading/unloading the dog purchases three times. Getting it sent free to our front door at no extra cost! Now seeing this beautiful post, I am even more happier with my decision!

    They're a great company and I hope they stay around forever. I get my dog's supplements and treats from them.

    I couldn't even look at the pictures because now I'm totally bawling...at my desk. Sheesh! I LOVE Chewy!!! I buy from them all the time to feed my cats and dogs. When my 27-year-old cat passed away last year, they sent me flowers. They truly are one of the best!

    I buy from Zooplus. Last month, my sweet elderly cat Mixa passed away and I had just bought 40 euros of her prescription diet. When I told Zooplus what had happened, they also told me to donate the food and they refunded my money. Excellent service.

    After I lost my beloved Shih Tzu, Chico, I emailed Chewy and asked not to send some of their ads for awhile. I received a beautiful flower arrangement and sympathy card. So unexpected and caring. Later, I sent a picture of my new rescue puppy and received a lovely oil painting of him. They are the absolute best at Chewy. They care for us much more than just being customer.

    I use to order Fromm dry dog food from Chewy until they were sold to Petsmart. The convenience of ordering & having large bags of dog food was fantastic. Even though I don't use Chewy anymore, I believe it is the BEST pet supply company on the net. WTG, Chewy !!

    I understand how grateful this guy must feel. I recently lost my 16 years old Sebastian and it hurts still. That painting must brought some confort to that family. Now I have another doggie, and I’ve been ordering everything for my little Henri from Chewy. They have simple THE best service out there for doggies

    Chewy.com is amazing. They did the same thing for me when I ordered over $50 of saline for my beautiful Gita, and we had to put her down the day my order arrived. Their customer service is top notch, prices are below pet store prices. Real people, being REAL. XO CHEWY.

    Chewy really is a fabulous company. It does not surprise me that they sent him a painting of his beloved doggy. *sniff* *wiping away tears* We adopted two kittens and I bought them a large cat tree and gave a good review on their website (because the cat tree is awesome!). They emailed me and asked for a photo of our new kittens for their pet bulletin board and asked about when we adopted them. A few months later on my kitties 1st birthday they received a birthday card from the Chewy family. We bought an expensive new bird feeder from Chewy, used it once and it ended up attracting a large poisonous snake who was looking for a birdie lunch. I asked if I could possibly return it since the pest control man recommended that we stop feeding the birds. They refunded our money and had me donate it to a friend whose yard is less wooded than ours. I love Chewy.

    Here’s the problem for me. I used to be a loyal Chewy customer, but then they were bought by PetSmart and PetSmart practices breed discrimination, and that’s a non-starter for me. Consumers vote with dollars, and I can’t endorse those policies.

    Chewy was fantastic when we lost our old Boxer, Clyde, last year. My mom had bought us some things for Clyde from Chewy. Then, suddenly, we lost both Clyde and my mother in the same horrible week. When I contacted Chewy about returning the items, they sent me a refund, and told me to donate goods we had purchased for him. Then, unexpectedly, we received flowers and a very kind note. Later, we received an oil painting of our sweet dog, as well. I can't believe that, in this day and age, a company continues to take care and service into consideration in the operation of their company. Things like this are really a comfort to those of us who are owned by furry family members. clyde-flow...99eafd.jpg clyde-flowers-5d0516b99eafd.jpg

    Something VERY unpopular is about to happen.... I'm 58 years old. I've had pets. Some I loved....some I loved A LOT !!!! But it's till a freakin' dog. Instead of holding on to tragedy how about we face reality, it's a dog. Just a dog. Not a person, not a saint, not a God. If you can't handle the loss of a dog how could you raise children? Or keep a job? Or do any of things people do every day. It's sad. Acknowledge it and move on.

    Chewy is, WITHOUT A DOUBT, the best company. When my dog passed away I forgot to cancel my auto ship and they sent me a card, refunded my money and told me to give the food to a shelter or someone who needed it.

    Chewy IS THE BEST! I like to and try to support local businesses, but I just can't quit Chewy! Their customer service is tops and seems so many have a similar tale to tell. Mine is when an electronic dog collar didn't work as expected, the refunded my money AND sent me a new one. And those things aren't cheap! I love Chewy and always encourage pet owners to check them out.

    Great story ...all the better, if the bored panda staffer who introduced it didn't make two errors: using the word "emphatical" instead of "empathetic" and calling chewy.com a local store. No troll here, just fwiw :-)

    Before Chewy was up and running, I had used a different subscription service and they made it difficult to cancel the subscription after my dog had passed away. I kept trying to cancel it through my account, but they made it so I had to call and then they tried to upsell me while I'm on the phone now in tears because I have to talk about my dead dog to a heartless company that obviously doesn't give a s**t. I stayed far away from subscription pet food services for a very long time until I heard several of these stories about Chewy. I'm trying them for our cat food. Chewy, don't hurt me.
