Online pet retail net sales growth excluding acquisitions measures sales growth after removing identified revenue contributions from acquired businesses.
Chewy reported 5.7% net sales growth excluding SmartPak and Modern Animal for the thirteen weeks ended August 2, 2026, compared with 7.3% reported net sales growth.
The bridge separates base-platform growth from acquired scale
Acquisitions can raise reported revenue without reflecting growth in the pre-existing customer and merchandise base.
Removing disclosed acquisition contributions helps isolate the underlying platform trend.
This is not a universal organic-growth definition
Chewy reports the comparison as net sales growth excluding specific acquisitions. It should not be assumed to use the same rules as another retailer's organic or comparable-sales measure.
Use it with active customer count and net sales per active customer to understand the drivers of the base-business change.
