Refund policy
Last Updated: August 26, 2026
At NeatPaws, we want every customer and every pet to have a great experience. If your order is not right, we are here to help.
Our return policy is designed to be fair to our customers while protecting the quality, safety, and integrity of our products.
1. Our Return Window
You may request a return within 30 days of receiving your order.
To be eligible for a return:
- The item must be unused and in its original condition.
- The product must be returned in its original packaging, where applicable.
- All tags, accessories, manuals, and included items should be returned with the product.
- You must provide your order number and reason for the return.
- The return request must be approved by NeatPaws before the item is shipped back.
Products returned without prior approval may be refused or may not qualify for a refund.
2. Change-of-Mind Returns
If you simply changed your mind, ordered the wrong item, or no longer want the product, you may request a return within our 30-day return period.
In these cases:
- The customer is responsible for the return shipping cost.
- Original shipping charges are generally non-refundable.
- The product must arrive unused, undamaged, and in resalable condition.
- Any decrease in value caused by use, damage, missing parts, or improper handling may be deducted from the refund.
This helps us keep our prices fair while still giving customers the flexibility to return eligible products.
3. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items
We will make things right if you receive:
- A damaged product
- A defective product
- The wrong product
- A product that is materially different from what you ordered
- Missing essential components
Please contact us within 7 days of delivery and include:
- Your order number
- A description of the issue
- Clear photos of the product
- Photos of the packaging, if the package arrived damaged
Where appropriate, NeatPaws may provide a replacement, replacement part, prepaid return label, or full refund.
You will not be responsible for return shipping when the problem was caused by an error, defect, or damage attributable to NeatPaws or the carrier.
4. Products That Cannot Be Returned
For health, hygiene, safety, and product-integrity reasons, certain products may not be eligible for return once opened or used.
These may include:
- Opened pet food or treats
- Used grooming or hygiene products
- Opened products intended for personal or pet hygiene
- Products that cannot reasonably be resold due to health or safety concerns
- Customized or personalized products
- Gift cards
- Clearance or final-sale items, where clearly identified at the time of purchase
If a product arrives defective, damaged, or incorrect, please contact us even if it falls within one of these categories. We will review the situation and determine an appropriate resolution.
5. Return Authorization
Please do not send a product back without contacting us first.
To request a return, contact our customer support team with:
Order Number: Your order number
Email: support.neatpaws@gmail.com
Once your request is reviewed, we will provide the appropriate return instructions.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that returned products are packaged securely. NeatPaws is not responsible for damage that occurs because an approved return was inadequately packaged.
6. Return Shipping
Customer-initiated returns
For eligible change-of-mind or preference-based returns, the customer is responsible for return shipping costs.
NeatPaws-related issues
If the return is due to an incorrect, defective, or damaged product, NeatPaws will provide an appropriate return solution, which may include a prepaid return label where available.
7. Refunds
Once your returned product is received and inspected, we will notify you whether your refund has been approved.
If approved:
- The refund will be issued to the original payment method whenever reasonably possible.
- Refund processing will normally begin within 5 business days after the returned item passes inspection.
- Your bank, card issuer, or payment provider may require additional time to post the refund to your account.
Depending on the circumstances, the refunded amount may exclude non-refundable original shipping charges or other costs that are permitted to be excluded under applicable law.
8. Partial Refunds
A partial refund may apply when:
- The product shows signs of use beyond what is reasonably necessary to inspect it.
- The product is returned damaged.
- Parts, accessories, packaging, or included items are missing.
- The product has been altered or improperly handled.
Any deduction will be based on the reduction in the product's value and applicable law.
9. Exchanges
If you received an incorrect or defective product, we may offer an exchange or replacement where stock is available.
For change-of-mind requests, exchanges may be handled as a return and a new order.
10. Late or Missing Refunds
If your refund has been approved but has not appeared in your account:
- Check your bank or payment account.
- Contact your card issuer or payment provider.
- Allow additional processing time where required.
- If you still cannot locate the refund, contact NeatPaws Customer Support.
We will be happy to help investigate the transaction.
11. Lost or Stolen Packages
Once an order has been confirmed as delivered to the shipping address provided by the customer, NeatPaws may not be responsible for packages that are subsequently lost or stolen.
If your package is marked as delivered but you cannot locate it, please contact us as soon as possible. We may work with the carrier to investigate the delivery.
Customers are responsible for providing an accurate and secure delivery address.
12. International Orders, Duties & Taxes
International customers may be responsible for applicable customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, or other charges imposed by the destination country unless otherwise stated at checkout.
Such charges are generally outside NeatPaws' control.
Where permitted by applicable law, customs duties, import taxes, and similar charges that have already been paid may not be refundable by NeatPaws.
If an international package is refused by the recipient and returned to us, any refund may be reduced by applicable return shipping, customs, duties, taxes, or other costs incurred by NeatPaws, to the extent permitted by law.
13. Order Cancellation
If you need to cancel an order, please contact us as soon as possible.
We will attempt to cancel the order before it enters processing or shipment.
Once an order has been processed or shipped, it may no longer be possible to cancel it. In that case, the order may need to be handled under our standard return policy.
14. Fraudulent or Abusive Returns
NeatPaws reserves the right to investigate unusual, fraudulent, or abusive return activity.
This may include repeated returns, materially different items being returned, empty-package returns, or products intentionally damaged after delivery.
Where permitted by applicable law, we may decline future returns or refunds associated with fraudulent or abusive activity.
We will never use this provision to deny a customer's valid statutory consumer rights.
15. Your Legal Consumer Rights
Nothing in this Return & Refund Policy is intended to limit, exclude, or replace any consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded under the laws applicable to your purchase.
Customers in the United Kingdom, European Union, United States, and other jurisdictions may have additional statutory rights depending on the product, purchase method, location, and circumstances.
Where applicable law provides a greater right than this policy, the applicable legal right will apply.
