Can I make changes or cancel my order?

We are only able to make changes to your order if the amendments are received at least 2 days before despatch. You can cancel your order at any time, provided it has not left our premises. A restocking fee of 15% will be charged, if your order has been picked before cancellation. We only receive cancellations in writing - please email info@rawpetsupplies.co.uk

If you prefer to order in advance, please do so! Simply tell us in your order comments when you would like to receive your order and we’ll do exactly as you ask.

My pet doesn’t like the new product I bought, can I return or exchange?

Unfortunately, we do not refund or exchange products that have left our premises unless they are faulty or unfit for purpose.

Information on substitutions

On occasion, you may order an item that we later find to be out of stock. This can happen for a number of reasons. Examples of why this might happen are:

We might update our inventory with products on order with our suppliers, but on arrival, the delivery may be short/incorrect
Stock is sometimes spoilt (broken packaging etc) and deemed not fit for sale
Stock miscounted/human error

How do we approach substituting?

If you specify NO SUBSTITUTES we will not make any substitutions without contacting you first.

If you specify YES to substitutions and provide no further instructions, we use a common sense approach and follow these guidelines:

Substitute for same proteins wherever possible; or choose from other proteins included in your order
Substitute with same brand wherever possible
Where same brand doesn’t have a suitable substitute, we will choose same proteins from an alternative brand to the same or higher value
If, for any reason we are forced to substitute with a lower value product to achieve the closest match, we will always refund the difference.
Where we feel there is no suitable substitute, we will contact you by phone/email to discuss options.
If contact attempts fail, we will either a) omit to include a substitute and refund the difference or b) load substitutes onto our van and give the option to refuse on delivery (freezer van deliveries only – we cannot exchange unwanted substitutions for courier orders).
