AI-assisted

Choose Amazon if you need broad product selection across multiple categories, Prime's ecosystem benefits (streaming, fast shipping on everything), and a lower free shipping threshold. Choose Chewy if you buy pet supplies regularly—its superior same-day delivery network, deeper pet product curation, stronger auto-delivery discounts (up to 35%), and specialized customer service for pet owners justify the trade-off of category specialization.
