No. Returns are available only on select products. Check the individual product page before ordering. Most products follow a replacement-only policy.

What conditions apply to an eligible return?

For a product specifically marked as returnable, the request must be raised within 7 days of delivery. The item must remain unused and include its original packaging, accessories and tags.

What is the difference between a return and a replacement?

A return involves sending an eligible product back for an approved refund. A replacement involves receiving another unit of the same item. Most products are replacement-only.

When is a free replacement available?

A one-time replacement may be provided when a product arrives damaged or defective, or when Under The Paws sends a different item or variant from the one ordered.

Requests are normally reviewed within 24–48 hours. Once approved and available, the replacement is generally dispatched within 2–3 business days.

What if the replacement product is unavailable?

If the same item cannot be supplied, Under The Paws may offer store credit or, at its discretion, an approved refund.

Who pays the return shipping cost?

Under The Paws covers applicable return shipping when the item was damaged, defective or incorrectly supplied. Customer-requested changes are paid by the customer.

Approved refunds are processed within 5–7 business days. Online payments return to the original payment source; COD refunds are completed by bank transfer.

Are original shipping charges refundable?

No. Original shipping charges are non-refundable. Applicable shipping and handling deductions may also apply to refused or undelivered prepaid orders.

Products & Sizing

Choosing and safely using products for your pet.

Are your products safe for pets?

Products are sourced from quality-checked suppliers. Every pet reacts differently, so always supervise your pet when introducing a new toy, accessory, grooming tool or wearable product.

What does the Dog, Cat or Both label mean?

The label indicates the type of pet for which a product is designed. Products marked Both are intended for dogs and cats.

How should I choose the correct size?

Check the measurements and sizing information on the individual product page. Measure your pet before ordering rather than relying only on breed or age.

Do collars and harnesses fit every breed?

Fit depends on the product and your pet’s neck, chest and body measurements. Review the product’s size chart before ordering.

Will the product look exactly like the photograph?

Product photographs aim to represent the item accurately, but minor differences in colour, texture or appearance may occur because of lighting, display settings and manufacturing batches.

Bundles & Offers

Multi-product sets, savings and bundle policies.

What is an Under The Paws bundle?

Bundles are curated groups of complementary pet products sold together. The items, bundle price and current savings are displayed on the relevant bundle page.

Do bundle items follow the same return policy?

The return or replacement eligibility of each product within a bundle continues to apply. Review the individual product information before ordering.

Can I return only one item from a bundle?

Partial bundle returns are not accepted. If the bundle qualifies for return, the complete eligible bundle must be returned together.
