We pack all of our orders with great care and deliver them to our couriers for delivery in the best condition. However orders may sometimes get damaged in transit for which we bear no responsibility, but if you contact us we'll try to resolve any issues. Please pre-warn your pets that your order is not a toy when it arrives through your door!
Packaging
As part of our commitment to the environment, we aim to reduce the amount of paper, plastic and cardboard we use. This means that wherever possible, orders will be packaged in a re-used or recycled box with reused bubble wrap or packaging.
