Below are answers to some commonly asked questions about our
How much does delivery cost?
The delivery fee is dependent on the weight, dimensions and destination of the parcel. The delivery fee or shipping cost for your order is calculated and displayed under your order details at checkout prior to entering your payment details.
The weight used to calculate your delivery fee may be different to the listed weight of the products you have ordered. Delivery weight and dimensions include the net weight and dimensions of the product along with its packaging and any packing material, such as boxes or shrink wrapping.
You can also elect to have your parcel delivered to our veterinary clinic at no additional charge. You will then need to pick up your parcel from the veterinary clinic.
For full information on delivery including pricing, please refer to our Delivery Information page.

You will receive a notification email when your order is received, and a second email when your order ships from our supplier's warehouse.
