Common Returns Questions

Can opened dog treats be returned?

For hygiene and food safety reasons, we can’t accept opened treat products unless the item is faulty or incorrect. If your dog didn’t enjoy a treat, please contact us — we’ll always aim for a fair outcome.

What if my dog is fussy and won’t eat the treats?

Dogs can have preferences just like people. If something isn’t working for your dog, please reach out to us. We genuinely care about creating happy experiences for both dogs and their owners, and we’ll do our best to help find a solution.

What if my order arrives damaged?

Please contact us within 7 days with your order number and photos. We’ll arrange a replacement or refund and cover return shipping if the item is confirmed faulty.

Can I exchange for a different treat?

Yes — we’re happy to exchange for a different flavour or protein (subject to availability). Contact us and we’ll sort it out.

Do I pay return shipping?

For change-of-mind returns and exchanges, return shipping is covered by the customer. If the item is faulty or incorrect, we’ll cover reasonable return shipping costs.

How long do refunds take?

Once we receive and inspect your return, we’ll process your refund promptly. Timing varies depending on your bank or payment provider — typically 3–5 business days after processing.

Do you charge restocking fees?

No. There are no restocking fees unless specifically stated, and they never apply to valid faulty-item claims.
