Due to the handmade and custom nature of our products, our processing time is 1-3 weeks. This is the time it takes to handcraft your order before it gets shipped, and does not include shipping time. 

While we strive to process all orders within this timeframe, processing times may be longer during busy periods. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about the status of your order.

Since all of our products are handmade to order, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges unless there is a warranty issue.

Please ensure to carefully measure your pet's neck to ensure that the correct size is purchased. When measuring yourself for a handsfree adapter, please measure both around your hips and across your body to ensure that both measurements are within the range of the size you purchase. Keep in mind any layers you may want to wear in the winter!

We use chrome-plated solid brass hardware. Like any hardware that is plated, the chrome finish will wear off over time and with use to expose the solid brass underneath the finish.

Yes! We use solid brass hardware, which means the gold colour won't chip or flake away with use.

Please keep in mind that solid brass hardware naturally oxidizes as it ages. It can leave grey/green tarnish marks against the biothane, especially on the lighter colours. Martingale collars can also leave leave marks on fur, especially on white coloured dogs. These marks can be cleaned away and are non-toxic.

To remove tarnish marks from our products, we recommend using a magic eraser or a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Please ensure to thoroughly rinse your product with soap and water before using your gear again.
