1. How soon will I receive my order?
Most orders are dispatched within 24 hours. However, it may not always be possible for us to offer this speedy service. If we are aware of a delay in dispatch we will notify you via e-mail as soon as possible. 

2. Can I return an item if it is not suitable?
Yes. We offer a very comprehensive returns policy, see delivery & returns link for full details. However, in summary we are happy to exchange or refund an item as long as we receive the item within 30 days of you receiving the order. The item must be in the same condition as it arrived i.e. as new, hair free, mud free etc. You can not exchange any item that has been personalize in anyway or an item that has been made to measure.

3. Is there a delivery charge for my goods?
We have a standard delivery charge for most orders in the UK of £3.85 per order not per item. This may also show online as a handling charge. See Delivery & Returns link for full details. Remember we offer some great online discounts on may items.

4. How long will my made to measure coat take?

Where possible we usually dispatch your made to measure coats within 7 working days, sometimes sooner. However, this may not always be possible. We usually are able to supply you with an approximate time when ordering this item.

5. Why do I need to order over the phone for a made to measure option on the dog coats?
We usually recommend this option to allow us to discuss with you the exact measurements required. If you prefer to make a payment online we can invoice you online via paypal for payment.

6. How soon will I receive my exchanged order?
Where possible we exchange orders within 48 hours of us receiving your returned item. This may not always be possible if the item is out of stock or you have requested a made to measure option, however, we do our best to dispatch your orders as quickly as possible. 

7. Will I have to pay for additional postage when exchanging my order?
Where possible we try and cover postage costs to keep all costings down to a minimum. If you are returning an item for a smaller size most of the time we try and cover any additional postage costs. If however you are increasing the size of the item, usually there is a small additional charge for the size increase in the item and postage, however, we do keep these costings to a minimum. If you are returning a bed or heavy item for an exchange then we will need to charge additional postage costs. We would recommend that you e-mail us before returning the heavy or bulky items.

8. I live outside the UK can I order with you?
Yes, not a problem. Currently the online ordering system is set up for the UK market. However, you can order online as usual and we can e-mail you any additional postage & delivery charges for outside the UK. We can invoice you online via paypal for these charges. Or you can e-mail us your requirements and we can invoice you directly online for all costing. 

9. What does the zip code mean?
The Zip code is another name for post code. 

10. I want to order online but I am not sure why there is a + £xxx when I click on size of the coat I need?
We have a start price for many of our items i.e £10.99 for a 10" coat, if you then require a 14" coat there might be a +£2.00 on the drop down menu. Click on the size required and this will give you the price for that size item ie £12.99. The reason we have different prices for different sizes is that we feel it is only fare that if you order a smaller coat you pay a smaller price!

11. I don't have a paypal account can I still order online?
YES. Payapl is a process provider and provides an online secure service for processing credit / debt cards and for people who have a paypal account. You do not need a paypal account to use this service and simply click on the relevant links when paying for your goods and it will take you through the online shopping system.
