Review of PetCareRx customer complaints, rating & accreditation on Better Business Bureau
Is PetCareRx registered on BBB?
PetCareRx is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
Looks like I will end up having to file a dispute against PetCareRx with PayPal, and of course that takes time on their part.
I sent PetCareRx an email on Feb 7,2021, inquiring about my refund. I finally received a response 2 days later. This time the rep did confess that on Feb 2nd, my cancellation was approved by a supervisor & the refund was approved by accounting. This rep said I'd have to get my refund from PayPal myself. Why should I have to do that when PayPal does not have my money, because PetCareRx has it? Even PayPal says PetCareRx has my money!
A customer should NEVER have to do this much follow up to get a refund for items that PetCareRx refused to ship even though it WAS PAID IN FULL when placing the order! This whole situation is shameful & PetCareRx has lost this customer. I want my stolen money back in my account NOW. It is starting to look as if PetCareRx is using various tactics to hang onto money that belongs to someone else. If this goes on a little longer, next step is a claim with the Better Business Bureau.
After this happened, I have ordered the items for my pets from other companies, also using PayPal, with no problems at all.
Update as of March 2021: PayPal has determined that PetCareRx was in the wrong for keeping my money. PayPal took the money back from PetCareRx and put it back into my account. So, thanks to PayPal, I have my money now. I will NEVER purchase from PetCareRx again.
Petcarerx membership has been an affordable solution to purchase the meds our allergy-prone German Shepherd requires. The only thing that could be improved is the speed of shipping. As a member, it is free, but usually takes a full week. I would love to see 3 day shipping included with membership. Otherwise I have been pleased with petcarerx and although the annual membership is $99/yr, we save more than that annually. If you are just needing heartworm and flea/tick meds, I believe it is more cost-effective to pass on membership. Also, we do have to purchase our Duoxo shampoo elsewhere. Petcarerx does not carry every item we rely on. Yet. All in all, I highly recommend petcarerx.
PetCareRx didn't notify me that they were unable to get my vet to respond to their requests for a prescription. For a week, while my dog suffered in pain, I was thinking her pain meds order was in process. I had to call PetCareRX to check the status of my order, which is when I found out that my vet had not responded to them. PetCareRX could've informed me, especially as I had signed up with their PetPlus memberhip ($99).
SERIOUSLY SLOW FREE SHIPPING (21 DAYS):
Ordered ear mite and worming tablets on March 2. It's now March 20 and I'm still waiting for them to arrive. Tracking details tell me eta is March 23. I don't expect Amazon-like shipping speed, but if something is going to take the best part of a month to get to me, I believe they should inform me. They didn't. I've had to go buy ear mite/dog worming tablets from Pet Smart, which is what I should've done in the first place. Now, I have products arriving from PetCareRX that I no longer need, because THEY forced me into a situation where I had to find an alternative solution because they couldn't get product to me in less than 21 days.
Horrible experience. I regret signing up for their Membership. Don't do it, until you've had a good experience from them first, would be my advice.
I know I can kiss goodbye to my $99, but that's the price I have to pay for trusting what they said.
I had an issue a few months ago- called three times within a 2 week period. Every time I called, I was told a manager would call me back and I never received a call back, hence calling in 3 times. I ended up giving up, but I'm sure that's their plan- I doubt PetCareRx even have managers there- just people who are told to tell us that there's nothing they can do and a manager will call. Well, I came into another issue last week- I called in and am told the same thing. 6 days later I call back and wait 42 minutes to even speak with someone- I spend another 30-40 minutes on the phone with this girl- same thing, but promises I'll receive an email with a return label today- it's midnight and I've received nothing. I pay $180/year for the membership and they don't deserve my business or anyone else's. I'm canceling the membership, even though it's saved me a bit overtime- just not worth the hassle and stress.
Two weeks later, we're wondering where the food is. We received no emails, no phone calls. After emailing customer support (because they only have EST office hours, and we're on the West Coast), support tells us that they called our vet and the vet declined confirmation, and they supposedly emailed me to tell me this.
I point out to them that (a) after calling our vet again, they had the confirmation on file, (b) I received no such email, (c) they shouldn't be able to just charge my card and make no further attempts to contact us, and (d) I'd like to see a copy of the email they claimed they sent me along with header information.
There was no reply -- just an automated phone call made to us from a 877 number (which we always screen). Now it's too late to order because their office is closed.
Just emailed them to cancel the order, ordered it on Chewy.com, and already got confirmation from our vet (5 MINUTES LATER).
PetCareRX sucks! Stay away.
When I've called PetCareRx, I usually talk to Peggy who is so nice and helpful. That's the only positive to come out of my frustration with the online ordering process.
I am not satisfied with this situation!
The only negative feedback I'll state is, when you order online you're given an option if you want them to call your vet to verify the prescription or if you're going to mail in the written prescription. Well, my vet won't authorize phone prescriptions, so I always mail them in. Typically, I place the order online, mail the prescription in with the order number and once PetCareRx receive it then my order gets processed. Well, I selected I'm MAILING the written script, but I just got an email saying they called my vet but they only authorized part of my prescription. Well... the reason why is because my dog lost weight so her tick/flea medication requires a totally different prescription from whatvi had on my previous orders (which they were going by when they called my vet). Why give the option on how to verify the prescription if they're going to call the vet anyways when I told them I'm mailing it?
As for the reason of my call: We rescued/adopted a sweet 2 year old chihuahua a few months back & the foster mom had the shelter vet order all her pet meds through PetCareRx. Today was my first time calling to set up my own account & add our own vet info etc. Miss Peggie Johnson was extremely patient & even asked if I wanted to save 75% off my order by joining as a member. She presented the offer without any added pressure ~ SO refreshing! I'm a numbers gal, so it was a total no brainer when the membership + the meds I needed to order was LESS than the full-price of just the meds. BONUS: My membership status lasts for a year so all future meds needed in the 12 months are at a 75% off rate! Yay!
Team PetCareRx: You have an incredible employee in Miss Peggie Johnson! NEVER take her for granted!
Miss Peggie Johnson: Keep on being your amazing, stellar, & awesome self! The world is better because of YOU!
Observe all the negative comments before mine and make your own decision. They lost me as a customer. I'm completely disgusted by their lack of professionalism and heart.
I've ordered with petcarerx multiple times before and never had such an awful customer service experience. Customers should never get harassed into purchasing something that PetCareRx have already declined.
I wish I had read the other bad reviews before I placed the order.
DO NOT order from them - you will be sorry.
We made a direct phone call to Pet Care Rx Inc. The company informed us that the charge was an annual subscription fee since 2016 to receive discount pricing. We explained:
We never signed up for, or authorized, any such subscription by phone, email, in writing or otherwise;
Our last pet past away a few years ago and nothing has been ordered since;
We only purchased the standard heart and flea meds for dogs that we shopped around for pricing each time from various companies.
We would definitely remember authorizing any such recurring charge because we are quite adversed to the practice of authorizing any recurring credit card charges.
Pet Care responded by stating PetCareRx would reverse the March 1,2020 charge and "cancel the subscription" without any acknowledgement or care to the fact we insisted that we never subscribed or authorized this or several previous years' charges. We noticed this year because the annual charge was increase approximately 100% from $54 to $108. Previous years' charges of $54 went unnoticed by us due to the myriad of charges we use on our Citi Visa Card.
Even though we explained Pet Care had subscribed our Citi Visa Card to recurring charges without any authorization and voiced concern for this seemingly poor and fraudulent-like practice, they would not refund or reverse the previous annual charges. We were so unsettled and disillusioned with this occurrence and conversation with Pet Care, we did some research and have since learned this is a common complaint against Pet Care Rx Inc. to the extent of being reported to the Better Business Bureau.
As customers of Citi Visa Cards, we are asking for your assistance to find a way to have Pet Care reverse or refund these previous years' ill-gotten charges.
March 1,2016 $54.38
March 1,2017 $54.26
March 1,2018 $54.51
March 3,2019 $54.64 (a final phone call to Pet Care indicated they would refund this amount by mail because we did not utilize the subscription)
I placed the order and also joined the PetPlus program as it surely appears to offer future savings. Each representative I spoke with was very knowledgeable, professional and above all else... courteous. I also had a detailed question about the Rxs, storing temperatures, etc. Since I became a PetPlus member, they put me in touch with their "Ask a Vet" department and my questions were answered efficiently and effectively.
I believe good customer service is incredibly important and PetCare Rx representatives were all top notch. My most recent communication was with Peggie Johnson and she was outstanding! Thank you PetCareRx for offering excellent products, pricing and customer service!
**Update: Took my pup to the cardiologist today and she added 2 more Rxs to our regimen. Called PetCareRx and spoke to Aaliya and she informed me that since the new medications are available at human pharmacies that I could take the paper scripts right to my regular pharmacy and it would be billed directly through my PetPlus program. What a convenience! Once again... OUTSTANDING customer service today while speaking with Aaliya!
Knowing the virus likely has the employees working from home or laid off, I expected a bit of a wait. I think my wait was about 4 mins. But as the saying goes, "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait." And it was good, because I was connected with a very professional, courteous, sincere and friendly service person in Peggie Johnson. She got right down to business checking the system for my account, outstanding scripts and did her due diligence to get me to consider a membership without being too pushy. If I owned a business, I would want this person working for me. SHE is an asset and makes PetCareRx look awesome. I will say my past experience has been fine, but not as pleasant or professional. So kudos for the great service and care I received. And yes, I did purchase a membership.
