Defective Products
We take care to ensure our products are of excellent quality. If you receive a defective item, you can log a return with us within 14 days of delivery.
A defect is a manufacturing fault or flaw that makes the product less acceptable than one would reasonably expect.
The following are not defects and will not qualify for a return:
Normal wear and tear.
Damage due to negligence, misuse, or lack of proper care.
Damage caused by unauthorised alterations.
Products that are accurately described on our website but do not suit your needs.
Opened food/treats that have been exposed to moisture, become rancid, or otherwise changed after opening.
Please ensure products are securely packaged with all accessories when returning them. Our courier may refuse collection if the product is not packaged properly.
Once inspected, we’ll replace or refund the product (same timelines as above).
Products Damaged on Delivery
If your order arrives damaged, please notify us immediately by emailing info@pawstop.co.za
Delivery & Collection Costs
If a product is defective, damaged on delivery, or a Hill’s product under their guarantee, PawStop will cover the cost of return and replacement.
If you return an unwanted item or ordered incorrectly, delivery and collection costs will be for your account.
If a refund lowers your order below the free-delivery threshold, the original delivery cost will be deducted from your refund.
Incorrectly Placed Orders
If you accidentally place an incorrect order, PawStop cannot be held responsible. You may return the unwanted item at your expense. A credit, refund, or replacement may be arranged once the product is returned in good condition. Any replacement will incur a standard delivery fee.
Abuse of Returns
PawStop reserves the right to suspend services if there is evidence of abuse of our returns or credit process.
