PetFoodDirect

BUYER BEWARE!  I purchased some supplements for my dog and chose the auto shipment plan. DONT CHOOSE THE AUTO SHIPMENT-IT DOESNT WORK!!!  First, they sent it way too soon even though I chose the correct interval when I signed up.  I had to call to correct it twice and they STILL sent it way too soon. I finally refused the final shipment and cancelled the auto shipment altogether. Then the tragedy of my pet passing away suddenly left me with these 3 unopened, unexpired, perfectly good bottles of supplements which they wont let me return due to their 30 day return policy!!!  It was their mistake that I even had 3 bottles I couldnt use!!!! And it was past their 30 days because I hadnt finished the first ones I purchased.  Now they wont even return my emails!!!!   NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL!!!

Very good selection of specialty pet foods. Prices range from inexpensive to expensive but this site is great for hard to find brands.

"Hi,

This pet food company looks good on the web but I would advise not using them. I had a order problem with them and found them unreasonable to deal with.---DO NOT give them your visa number they will charge it without your promision.

I should have know when I didn't get a confirmation email back that something was wrong. I have been able to get them on the phone but they are unbending about giving me a credit for something they admit they did not send----DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO.

good luck!"

The convenience is great, delivered heavy pet items to your home but the difficulty starts when you have a problem. I received a partial order and was charged for the whole order so I thought the rest of the order would be coming any day but after I   Read full review...

I placed an order for some canned cat food over seven days ago (including five "business days") and have not heard from PFD. This would not be as much of a problem because they said 3-5 business days to process orders, except that I have also emailed them twice and have not received a response yet. Their price was 40 cents less per can than my local PetSmart store, but so far I am not pleased with PFD at all.

Also, you cannot check your order status on PFD which is annoying and is also bad business.

I did not know they were middlemen, or I would not have ordered from them at all. I should have known that Pet Food DIRECT was a misnomer and misleading on purpose.


I will probably cancel my order if they do not respond within another two days or so, and place my order at Waggintails, which had a very close price, and might actually send me my order and/or respond to my inquiries.

I have ordered from Petfooddirect online store three times now. I had a good experience one order...it arrived quickly...and the last two times is soooo slowwww...
It is not working out for me...I will have to order from some other place. The price was better for what i was ordering....dry cat food...I have ordered the same thing all three times...

Very disappointed. Especially since Wellness products aren't available in my area. So i have to order online.
It is pitiful when you order so your cats won't run out of the good food and the shipping still is so slow...you have to use a less quality brand to get by on until the order finally arrives.
I do not recommend ordering from Pet food direct unless you live in Pennsylvania.

I check with Chase and the charge went through on 06/28, posted on 06/29 and credited to their account the next business day.

The Customer Service Rep was unable to grasp the fact that I had actually paid for the product, the billing and ship to address were correct/identical and they needed to ship the product I had paid for.

After several minutes on the phone getting nowhere I cancelled the order.

This is our first and last experience with them. Their customer service department doesn't seem to care that they lost a customer over their own stupidity.

I've recently purchased Wellness cat dry food. It's $19.99 for 5lbs which are quite expensive. I feed my purebred cat with top food choice such as Evo, Orijen, and Wellness. My recent experience with petfooddirect.com isn't pleasant. I only have 1   Read full review...

I am amazed at the quality of service given the low prices I found at Pet Food Direct.

I recently went to Petco for guinea pig bedding (carefresh ultra). Two bags ran me $58 WITH my P.A.L.S. discount card. That's some serious scratch for BEDDING.

I was able to buy four bags (the same exact type and size), a hut and some chew toys from Pet Food Direct for $77, including shipping. Seventy seven dollars. I can't believe it, right to my door. I'm never going back to Petco again. It's literally less than half the price of the pet store, and everything arrived well packaged. I'm looking at the four bags right now and I can't believe how much cheaper they were.

I have been a customer of PetFoodDirect for a few years and have never had a problem. They have a great selection, offering quality brands not available in local stores. Their shipping is expensive and kind of slow, but if you sign up for their email specials, the discount coupons will make up for that. Make sure you keep on eye on the expiration date of the coupons.

Very happy with both the service and the product. I ordered pet food and got it on time. I'd shop here again!

I was so excited to be saving money on this site. Yes, you pay the price in shipping, but it still comes out less than other sites and is probably easier than the drive. (I live in the city, sans car, so that's pretty valuable.)

I was disappointed to wait the full five days for my order, in addition to waiting for it to ship, but it was fine since I assumed they were waiting for the "freshest product in stock," as they cleverly put it.

It finally gets here, and I'm missing the one item my cat was looking forward to the most.

I don't know about you, but it drives me up the wall when you CAN'T FILL AN ORDER PROPERLY. Especially after FIVE BUSINESS DAYS. They had the audacity to check that item off on the receipt, like they had surely put it in the box.

This was my first time trying their service. Now, officially the last time.

My vet would not give me a prescription here due to history of possibly expired pet medications being sold. To me it is not worth the saved money when you consider the consequences of bad medication being taken.

My order took 14 days to receive. I ordered DermaPet DermaBenSs Benzoyl Peroxide Shampoo for my cat who has staph. Obviously, I needed it by the mere fact this is a product for skin conditions.

I ordered four other items that night; some x-mas gifts from large companies, some little stuff from Ebay, even two on-line bookstores--everything arrived in a week's time or less except the shampoo from Petfooddirect.com. The shipping was $6.00 for an 8 oz. bottle of shampoo that cost $8.00 and the box it arrived in, could have housed a table lamp. I could not find one discount code for this company.

At the time I could not find any of this shampoo my vet recommended in stock except from a company in Australia. I should have used the Australian site but I thought ordering in the USA would be faster, which normally is faster. I truly believe Petfooddirect.com operates out of someone's home basement and they call in orders to wholesalers. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THESE PEOPLE.

VERY VERY SLOW SHIPPING. TOOK OVER 2 WEEKS. CUSTOMER SERVICE REP LIED ABOUT DELIVERY DATE.
I have a handicapped dog that needs a certain supplement. Because of the slow shipping, my dog went without the proper nutrition as I could not find the product locally. When I questioned the slow shipping, I was told the shipping time was hidden at the bottom of their website.

I had satisfactory experiences with this company before the pet food recall. Shipping time is lengthy, as others has reviewed. Flint River Ranch does a much better job with getting the food to you quickly. If you order from Pet Food Direct you must time it correctly and not let your pets run out of food! My main complaint is with customer service. Two 10 pound bags of Natural Balance Cat venison and green pea dry was delivered to my house on April 19th, which was the same day the recall was issued. I opened up my email and read the recall notice from petfooddirect before I opened any of the bags. A previously opened bag was only half finished. I called the company that same day. I was told I would get a refund on the 3 bags and shipping. They sent two 5 pound bags of the premium formula in the meantime. Well it is July 4th, I have called customer service THREE times and still no refund!

The selection is good, but the shipping is inexcusably SLOW. I placed an order on May 25 and it didn’t even leave their warehouse until June 5th! I will not do business with them again until they can get their act together.

 I would not shop here again

Horrible service, you wait on hold forever, they take days to answer email and ship your order to the wrong address. Avoid at all costs, do not buy from this inept and horrific company.

 I would not shop here again

The selection can't be beat. I can actually find everything I need in one place! The prices are decent also. I bought a bag of food for $5.00 less than what was advertised on another site and it wasn't even on sale. The gripe I have is with shipping... I live a 3 1/2 hour drive from their warehouse and I am waiting.. and waiting for my order to come. Their site says orders leave their facility in 3-5 days. 5 days just for it to ship is excessive in my opinion, and keep in mind those would be five business days, plus however long ground shipping is to your area. Most large companies have a better turn around than that. They will lose business from me because of this. If I have time, I will use them, but a lot of us don't think 2 weeks before our pet food runs out to place an order. So if I'm in a rush, I'll go somewhere else.

I have been ordering from pet food direct for over a year now. Have never had any bad experience with them. Will continue to order from them. Always get 20% off my purchases which pays for shipping. Cheaper to order from pet food direct than go out to pet store and buy it.
Besides they always have what I want with the ease of
shopping at home.

I've shopped here many times. I do like the selection, although shipping can kill the deal sometimes. This is a good place to start to comparison shop, and don't forget your coupon code!

I would NEVER EVER shop here again! They charge your credit card and keep telling you the manufacture is shipping it to them when they get it they will ship it, then 2 weeks later get anouther email stating that the product is deleated and they will credit my card and that was 2 weeks ago I tried calling and emailing to NO avail!! This is one CRAPY company!!! I got one word for this comapany PETCO!!!!
