The love you show your pet makes the whole world a better place, for pets and people alike. Here’s a snapshot of our Chewy community and all we accomplished this year—so go ahead, give yourself and your animal bestie a celebratory treat.
Our Growing Pet Family: By The Numbers
The Chewy community has expanded significantly, reflecting the deep commitment pet parents have to their beloved companions. Our pack now includes over 20 million pet parents caring for dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, and pets beyond our wildest imagination. This remarkable number demonstrates not only the popularity of pet ownership but also the trust families place in Chewy to support their pet care journey.
One of the most exciting developments this year has been the welcome addition of over 5 million new pups and kitties to our Chewy family. Each new pet represents a new adventure, a new bond, and a new member joining our thriving community of animal lovers. Whether they’re joining households as first-time pets or as additions to existing fur families, these new companions are already making their mark on the Chewy ecosystem.
A Year’s Worth of Care: Incredible Milestones
When you aggregate the daily actions of millions of pet parents, the numbers tell an inspiring story of dedication and love. In 2025, Chewy pets experienced remarkable moments that showcase the commitment of our community:
- Over 41 million meals consumed by our beloved pets
- Over 62 million naps taken throughout the year
- Over 160 million treats given to deserving companions
- Over 1.5 million years’ worth of flea and tick prevention protection provided
These statistics go far beyond simple numbers—they represent moments of joy, health, comfort, and security. Each meal nourishes a pet, each nap provides rest and relaxation, each treat celebrates the bond between parent and pet, and each preventative measure protects against illness and discomfort. Together, these actions demonstrate the comprehensive care that Chewy pet parents provide year-round.
Top Dog Breeds: What Our Community Loves
When examining dog breed preferences across our community, some fascinating trends emerge. The diversity of our pack tells us that pet parents value many different characteristics, sizes, and temperaments when choosing their canine companions.
Most Common Dog Breed: Mixed
Surprisingly to some, mixed breeds dominate our community. Our data shows that Chewy has over eight times more dogs with mixed or unknown breeds than any other single breed. This trend reflects a growing appreciation for rescue and shelter dogs, as well as the unique qualities that mixed breeds bring to families. Mixed breed dogs often exhibit what breeders call “hybrid vigor,” offering diverse temperaments, appearances, and health profiles that appeal to the wide variety of lifestyles within our community.
Trendiest Dog Breeds: The Doodle Phenomenon
When it comes to trending breeds, two designer mixes captured the hearts of Chewy pet parents this year:
- Havapoos: A charming mix of Havanese and Poodle breeds, these small but mighty companions rose over 340% within our Chewy pack
- Cavapoos: A delightful blend of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Poodle, these affectionate dogs also increased over 340% in popularity
The surge in popularity for these “Doodle” breeds reflects consumer interest in designer dogs that combine desirable traits from parent breeds—typically including the intelligence and low-shedding coat of Poodles with the temperament and companionship qualities of their counterparts. The nearly identical growth rate for both breeds suggests this is part of a broader market trend toward hybrid dogs.
Feline Favorites: The Cat Breed Rankings
Our feline friends have their own story to tell about preferences and popularity within the Chewy community. When examining cat breed statistics, one breed stands head and whiskers above the rest.
Top Cat Breed: American Shorthair
American Shorthair cats outnumber all other breeds by 200% or more within our community. This dominant preference speaks volumes about cat parent priorities. American Shorthairs are beloved for their adaptability, low maintenance grooming needs, and robust health. They make excellent companions for families of all sizes and lifestyles, from busy professionals to multi-pet households. Their prevalence in our community underscores the practical yet loving approach many cat parents take when selecting their feline companions.
Small Pets, Big Numbers
Beyond dogs and cats, our community extends to the wonderful world of small animals. Over half a million rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and other small pets count on Chewy for their food, bedding, enrichment toys, and other essential supplies. This significant population represents a dedicated subset of pet parents who provide specialized care for these unique and often overlooked companions. Small pet parents demonstrate remarkable commitment to understanding the specific nutritional and environmental needs of their animals, making them valuable members of our diverse community.
Horse Power: Our Equine Community
A special shout-out goes to the nearly 200,000 horses in our Chewy community. These magnificent animals represent a different dimension of pet ownership, requiring specialized care, nutrition, and supplies. Whether used for recreation, competition, therapy, or companionship, horses owned by our Chewy community receive dedicated support from pet parents who understand the significant responsibility these animals represent. This substantial equine population highlights Chewy’s commitment to serving all pet parents, regardless of the size or species of their beloved animals.
Celebrating Our Community Achievement
The statistics from Chewy’s Year in Pets 2025 tell a powerful story.
