Here's How Chewy+ Is Boosting Autoship and Wallet Share for Chewy

Chewy, Inc.’s CHWY membership program, Chewy+, is emerging as a significant driver of customer engagement and recurring revenues. The program, which offers free shipping, 5% rewards and exclusive member promotions, has already begun showing tangible benefits in key customer metrics. In July, Chewy+ made up about 3% of total monthly sales, and those members demonstrated higher spending, increased purchase frequency and more multi-item orders compared to nonmembers.Chewy+ members are engaging more actively through the mobile app and adopting Autoship at higher rates, driving steady recurring order flow and strengthening long-term retention. Autoship already drives the majority of company sales, and the overlap with Chewy+ is enhancing predictability in customer spending. The resulting combination of subscription engagement and membership benefits is lifting net sales per active customer (NSPAC) and expanding the company’s share of wallet.Autoship customer sales rose 14.9% year over year to $2,577 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, accounting for 83% of Chewy’s net sales. NSPAC climbed 4.6% from the prior-year period to $591, supported by a 20.9 million active customer base at quarter’s end.Management expects the Chewy+ membership program to represent a mid-single-digit percentage of net sales by the end of fiscal 2025. The program is strengthening Chewy’s digital ecosystem by linking convenience, rewards and automation, turning membership into a reliable engine for sustained customer monetization.How CENT and WOOF Measure Up Against CHWY’s ExpansionChewy’s net sales grew 8.6% year over year to $3,104.2 million during the second quarter.

WOOF.Central Garden & Pet Company reported third-quarter fiscal 2025 net sales of $960.9 million, down 4% from the prior-year period.
