Repair, Replacement & Refund Policy.
This policy has been established to give you the comfort of knowing that, subject to the conditions set out below, if any product you purchase online from Proud Pet is found to be defective, or it does not meet your needs, Proud Pet will happily repair or replace the product, or offer you a refund or credit. This Policy includes the rights you have under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act (see below) and provides you with benefits in addition to those rights, because your satisfaction is very important to us.
What is the Proud Pet returns Policy?
If you are not completely satisfied with a product you have purchased from us, you can return that product to us within a reasonable timeframe in a re-saleable condition since purchased and we will happily replace, repair within a reasonable timeframe or refund the original purchase price of that product provided the product and packaging is in its original condition and is re-saleable.
This excludes the 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on selected Superior Nutrition food lines which is above and beyond this policy.
For example, any product that has been personalized, e.g. an identification tag that has been engraved, will not be accepted as a return unless it is faulty.

You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Where a failure does not amount to a major failure, Proud Pet is entitled to choose between providing you with a repair, replacement, or other suitable remedy. Any cost incurred by you in returning the product to Proud Pet will be borne by you.
