ONLINE PURCHASES RETURNS POLICY
 
We are a family owned and run business, which has been serving the needs of
 pet owners since 1982.  
 
We are never happier, than when our customer’s pets’ needs have been met!
 
We are happy to offer advice and further information on ANY item that we sell
…we would rather answer 20 of your questions honestly and fully, and end up 
with no sale, than have no communication from you, and so end up with you buying 
an unsuitable or unwanted item.
 
However, we know that buying online can be an awkward business, so below you 
will see our returns policies, for various reasons for return.  Please have a read
 of them BEFORE you bid/buy, and if there is anything you don’t like about them,
with all due respect, please do NOT buy from us.

FAULTY ITEMS

stock; and a final time before being dispatched to our ebuyers.  This usualloy
 involves three different members of staff and management. If, however, you 
are unlucky enough to receive a damaged or faulty item from us, we will, of

have to accept), OR refund providing;

than its intended function;

We are a 100% honest business.  We are here to HELP our 1000s of customers, 
both instore, and online.  We feel that by having, but law, to detail our returns 
policy, we may come across as overly cautious.  We are not.  We treat each and 
every customer as an individual, and always have done.  We believe there is 
nothing that can’t be resolved with some 
friendly communication and mutual respect!  
We are NOT ‘a computer’, we are a family of real people, just like you….and we 
enjoy treating our customers as PEOPLE, rather than faceless electronic 
transactions!
