COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHEN WILL MY ORDER SHIP?
WHAT IS YOUR EXHANGE/RETURN POLICY?
Our production schedule is currently 3-7 business days. This is the time it takes to make your order and does not include the shipping/delivery time.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO RECEIVE MY ORDER?
Currently we do not offer exchanges or refunds. Because we offer a variety of widths, sizes and hardware options, each item is made to order and therefore considered custom.
We do not pre-make our items to ensure they are brand new when you receive them. Often times shops that accept exchanges and returns are re-selling items that may have been worn for a period of time by another dog or cat.
Sizing charts and materials that may affect longevity are included in each listing to ensure you can make an informed decision. If there is a manufacturing defect with the item, please reach out! We're always happy to help. Wear and tear issues relating to biting, pulling, scratching and fading of the design are not manufacturing defects.
WHAT ARE YOUR SIZES?
CAN I MODIFY MY ORDER AFTER I PLACE IT?
As long as your order has not been made yet, you can modify it up to 2 business days from placing your order.
OOPS! I USED MY OLD ADDRESS. CAN I CHANGE IT?
As long as your order has not been shipped yet, please contact us ASAP with the correct shipping address. If your order has already shipped, in the US you will need to contact USPS to request a re-direct. In Canada, contact us with the new address to see if Canada Post can re-direct. Any fees that Pooch & Tabby incurs due to returns, re-directs due to the incorrect address are the responsibility of the customer.
CAN I CANCEL MY ORDER?
Yes, cancellations are accepted up to 3 days after purchase, then all items go into production.
CAN I TIE MY DOG OUT USING YOUR PRODUCTS?
Please refer to the sizing chart images in each listing for sizing options for your dog or cat. If your pup falls just outside of a size range or at the very end, we can add an extra inch or two to accommodate your pet's specific size, especially if your dog is an adult and is no longer growing.
For example, the small size adjusts from 9 - 13" and the medium adjusts from 12 - 19". If your pup has a 14" neck, rather than get a medium and have 5" of extra bulk, we can add an extra inch or two to the small size to ensure a comfortable fit at no extra charge. Please contact us for details.
HOW DO I FIGURE OUT MY PET'S NECK SIZE?
We recommend measuring your pet's neck vs their current collar. Collar size is not determined by weight, however we can use your dogs weight to help determine the best width. Using a soft tape measure or even a string or shoelace, measure your pet's neck at its widest part or where the collar will sit. Make sure to leave some wiggle room (about two fingers thick).
If you're using a shoelace or string, you can lay it on a flat ruler once you've measured the neck to figure out the size. If you're having issues figuring out your pet's size, please reach out to us for help!
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY ITEMS?
Most collars and leashes can be hand washed or machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Air dry only. For spot treatment, use a soft toothbrush to remove mud, dirt, etc.
Accessories such as bow ties and flowers should be gently washed by hand or spot treated when dirty.
Please make sure to monitor your pet's products and do not leave them where they may be chewed or ingested. Please check your products for wear and tear regularly.
WHERE ARE YOUR PRODUCTS MADE?
Delivery depends on the method of shipping you choose.
Canadian orders that meet Canada Post's requirements can ship by Lettermail. Lettermail is by stamps and does NOT include tracking or insurance or a guaranteed delivery date. This service can take 3-8 business days usually but can take longer due to rural locations, weather and holiday volume.
Canada Post does not allow items thicker than 2cm to ship by Lettermail and must ship by tracked parcel shipping which we provide at a discounted rate. Delivery with this service can take 2-8 business days depending on location.
US Orders ship with tracking to Chit Chats or a similar service. Delivery usually takes 3-5 business days, but could be longer due to rural locations, weather and holiday volume.
International Orders ship via Chit Chats with tracking. If there is a problem delivering to your location, we will be in touch right away to discuss options. Delivery can take 2-14 business days minus any Customs time. International shipments may be subject to customs inspection which may cause a delay in delivery,

However, import duties and taxes that may be charged are at the discretion of your country's customs agency.
