    What I’m saying is that the removal of reviews is not actually illegal, and wouldn’t be considered a valid complaint by the BBB… who has deleted reviews themselves at the request of the company. I say that with experience, because I’ve had one of my own reviews removed by the BBB for a different matter entirely. My point is that the BBB is an irrelevant source of information when it comes to the practice of removing reviews, and that point still stands.

    Maybe so. But what I’m saying is that this site’s affiliation to Chewy and the BBB rating have no relevance to the fact that it is a common practice of many businesses to delete posts and ratings on their own sites that would have a negative impact on their business. I’ve even seen this on Amazon. There was a particular product that had about a 2 star rating that went to about 4 practically overnight. When I checked back… many of the negative reviews mysteriously disappeared. But this isn’t something that would be reflected on a BBB page.

    Chewy may be reputable. I’m not arguing that. They sell products to customers… they don’t make them. They may well be reputable in their sales. But the question is… are they deleting their negative reviews? Maybe so… maybe not… but whatever they decide to do, it is actually their legal right to do what they want with their own site… regardless if it seems kosher or not.

    I’m not sure where a BBB rating of Chewy is relevant. First, Chewy is a seller… not a creator of dog food. They have nothing to do with the design of the product itself. Any complaints of the contents of the product should go to RC… not Chewy. Second, it’s unfortunately not an uncommon practice for businesses to remove posts and reviews they do not agree with. So ratings on a company site is always subject to bias… and this would have no bearing on their BBB score whatsoever. So where does the BBB score of Chewy have any relevance?
