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.
I joined PetCare RX Membership August 2019. My cat and I had flown from Australia to live in America with my now husband. While it wasn't difficult to visit a vet and get prescriptions for her Chronic Renal Failure, I found the food was quite expensive; hence got the PetCare RX Membership after looking up reviews.
It (the system) works well enough, delivery is within 7 business days. Sometimes 2, sometimes longer, was hard to judge sometimes and had me rushing to the vets for a couple of cans if I fell short for a day or two. But at least the tracking was reliable.
I bought something (cat vitamins) one time, and was mistaken on what it was. I could've and had permission to send it back, OPEN AND ALL (because I did open it and had let them know) as long as I paid shipping. I wouldn't usually have a problem with that, but it was $5-$7 product, so not worth the hassle / shipping. I was surprised that PetCareRx wanted me to send it back considering that's a waste of employee / warehouse resources (I have 10 years of experience in this kind of thing) and also the fact that it had been opened.
I noticed 3-5 months down the line, that her (renal) food was gradually increasing in price. Again at 7-9 month, and again 11-13 month. Whether it was the exchange rate, Covid (later on) or something shady happening in the background, it was still cheaper than the vets. I even contacted Hill's and Royal Canin to make sure and Petcare RX was still below the Recommended Retail. So, good for me... at the time.
This is where it gets messy.
To put this bluntly. While I was waiting on a shipment of food that was in transit, my poor cat (of 19 years mind you, and I'm 28) passed away; her body couldn't keep up with her spirit anymore. I notified PetCare RX ASAP via email about the shipment. I was pretty heartbroken, still am (almost a month later). Heard no response, the food delivered. I eventually called them after a 2nd email which no one responded to. Well. Because it's prescription food, they completely refuse to accept it back. I've never opened it, haven't even opened the packaging / the box it is in altogether. Still haven't as I'm not sure what to do with it honestly (24 cans of prescription food to be specific). I even asked them what they expected me to do with it; still haven't got a response to that question. They went ahead and cancelled my membership without my approval - only 3 months in from the renewal (of 2nd year). I was so shocked by the amount of disrespect and full of $#*! that they gave me, I've been completely beside myself.
It is one thing being safe. It's another being downright rude and completely uncaring for the customers. We are talking about an unopened box, cans wrapped in plastic packaging. If my cat was alive, then fair. I ordered it.
But she's gone. She left before it was even delivered. How am I supposed to use it?
Regarding the cancellation of my membership - I even told them, that I have other cats - they don't require prescription food which is why I never added them onto the membership (as that adds more to the membership cost), but happy to have one of their names on there. Nope. Never responded about that. Doesn't matter to me because it's not cheaper than Walmart anyway (maybe $1-$2, which I'm sure the membership makes up for that).
I even just tried to log in today out of curiosity to see if I have an account.
I don't even have an account anymore.
And last but not least as a final note, I ordered a lot of stuff from them. Prescription food, medication and normal cat food and kitty litter here and there (which FYI is not cheaper than Walmart). Over the 14-15 months I had about $40 worth of "points" to spend (which I did get to spend while I was waiting for the emails - thank goodness since they wouldn't have let me I'm sure). Don't get fooled by this. They will charge you shipping, they will charge you the full price of the product despite having the membership. You basically choose, to use your membership or the "point price" (which is normal price). It sounds like they are trying to do you a favor but, it's not. It is stupid, and they should just scratch it off.
I hate to say this cause it worked well for me when my cat was alive.
But if I get into a situation where I need prescription food for one of my other cats, I'll be supporting the vet - despite the premium price.
However the past 3 out of 5 times I have ordered his medication online, I have promptly received an email stating that I need to call their customer service line before being PetCareRx were willing to send his medicine.
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I call they end up trying to sell me on their "PetPlus" membership "discount" plan on their website. They refuse to send his medication until I call. It's not because of a billing issue or because of an issue with his medication. They are just trying to sell me their "discount plan". I have stated repeatedly that I have no interest in this plan and I just want the medicine and they continue to force me to call them.
Beyond the annoyance and persistence of constantly being asked to join their PetPlus plan, if you look into the cost difference between their membership pricing and standard pricing at other retailers (Chewy, Petsmart, Petco)... it's STILL MORE EXPENSIVE TO GET THE ITEMS THROUGH PETCARERX.
AND THEN beyond my two issues stated above, they spam call me every other month... trying to get me to join their useless, senseless, over priced discount plan.
I am so over this company.
I did so, and he claimed resubmitted the order for me- but not before I agreed to enroll in their club discount plan. I reluctantly did because he quoted me a great price for the two prescriptions I needed, and honestly, he wouldn't stop asking.
After I got off the phone with him, I was charged for the membership, yet, again, my order never went through.
I called back and spoke to another representative yesterday, who said there was absolutely no record of my order the second time from Andrew sending it through.
Now my dogs are almost a full month behind on their medication, and all I've done is pay for a membership that it seems like I won't ever be able to use.
Then I told her that I wanted to cancel my membership with them if that was the case.
She said that the only way she will cancel my membership if I were to pay them the full price for the wrong medication that I cannot use because I got a discount price as a member. This definitely felt like another slap on my face.
I will never, never buy from them again.
Please watch out for business like this. PetCareRx will love you until you make a mistake.
Not only did I find the med I needed at PetCareRx, their costumer service rep Ashley called to resolve some issues with my order. She was 100% amazing! Not just professional, she was actually kind. She was patient, informative, and ended up saving me money. Her recommendations will end up saving me cash and time in the future as well. She handled all of the odd problems with my particular order completely, with big points for style and compassion. It was a joy doing business with her. I was relieved that my dog would get his heart medication, and that I was getting it for less than half what I was paying through my veterinarian. I simply did not expect this kind of help from an online operation. Thank you Ashley.
As long as this company is represented by outstanding customer service persons - like the extraordinary Ashley - it will have my business and enthusiastic recommendation. GIVE ASHLEY A RAISE. I wholly and happily endorse PetCareRx.
The next day I am looking over my credit card charges and PetCareRx has charged me for PetPlus! I used their contact us page and sent a message explaining that I specifically did not click the box to become a PetPlus member and requested a refund. I immediately received an email stating that PetCareRx would get back to me within 24 hours. Two and a half days later I still have not heard back so I decide to call. The customer service rep was ridiculous. She said that I had to have selected pet plus to get charged. I went back and forth with her over this because I couldn't believe how she was acting when she released this gem of information. She said, "You probably signed up for it accidentally, because that happens all the time." WHY WOULD A COMPANY BUILD A WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN ACCIDENTALLY SIGN UP FOR SOMETHING AT ALL, LET ALONE SOMETHING THAT CHARGES YOU $65?! Even after pointing that out, the conversation was going nowhere fast. She did cancel the membership and said my refund would be processed in 3-5 business days.
I can't in good conscious recommend this company. Charging my card without my authorization, not responding to customers in the appropriate time frame and rude customer service is not what I need or want when making a purchase. Also, I went back on their website and made a mock order. I got all the way to "Submit Order" and could not find any way I could have "accidentally" signed up for PetPlus.
