Return Policy

At HappyDogCo, we believe shopping should be stress-free from start to finish — including returns. If you're not completely satisfied with your order, no problem! We're here to make it right.

⚠️ Customer Resolution & Dispute Process — Please Read First

Before filing any chargeback, payment dispute, complaint with a payment processor (such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, or Mollie), third-party report, or public review concerning your order, you agree to first contact HappyDogCo directly at info@happydog-co.com (or via our contact form) and to allow us a reasonable opportunity to resolve your concern.

We commit to acknowledging every customer message within 1 business day and to providing a substantive response or resolution within 7 business days.

You agree, as a material term of your purchase, that:

(a) You will contact us first, in writing at info@happydog-co.com (or via our contact form), with any issue regarding your order — including delivery concerns, damaged or missing items, refund requests, returns, or any other matter — before contacting your bank, card issuer, or payment processor;

(b) You will allow us no fewer than 7 business days from the date of your initial written contact to respond and propose a resolution; and

(c) You will not initiate any chargeback or payment dispute on the ground of non-receipt before the disclosed delivery window has passed and you have given HappyDogCo a chance to assist with tracking, carrier inquiries, or replacement.

Breach of this Customer Resolution & Dispute Process is a material breach of these Terms. Where a customer files a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting HappyDogCo and giving us the agreed opportunity to resolve, HappyDogCo will:

(i) Submit this clause, together with the customer's documented acceptance at checkout, as compelling evidence to the relevant payment processor, card scheme (Visa, Mastercard, etc.), or buyer-protection programme;

(ii) Document the breach in our records and treat any such chargeback as "friendly fraud" under industry definitions, where the underlying claim is contradicted by carrier-verified delivery, prompt fulfilment, or our published policies;

(iii) Recover the costs of defending an improperly filed dispute, including merchant fees, administrative time, and any unrecovered chargeback fees, through any lawful means;

(iv) Suspend or terminate the customer's account and decline any future orders.

Preservation of Statutory Rights. Nothing in this clause limits or waives any right you have under the U.S. Fair Credit Billing Act (15 U.S.C. § 1666), Regulation Z (12 CFR Part 1026), the U.S. Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Federal Trade Commission Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule (16 CFR Part 435), the PayPal User Agreement and Buyer Protection programme, or any other mandatory consumer-protection law that applies to your purchase. The sole purpose of this clause is to establish the contractual resolution process you agreed to as part of your purchase, and to disclose the evidence we will rely on in respect of any breach.

Acceptance. By completing checkout on HappyDogCo, you affirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Customer Resolution & Dispute Process. Your acceptance is recorded together with your order with the exact timestamp, your IP address, user-agent, session identifier, and the version of this Policy in force at that moment, and is retained for a minimum of 540 days.

✅ 30-Day Return Window

You can return your order within 30 days of the purchase date, as long as the product is unused, unopened, in its original condition, and any tamper-evident seal or original protective packaging remains intact.

🔁 Quick & Easy Returns

Returning an item is simple. Just email us at info@happydog-co.com (or use our contact form) with:

Your order number

A brief explanation of the return reason

(Optional) Photo evidence, if the item is damaged or faulty

We'll guide you through the rest.

All approved returns must be sent to our central warehouse, where refunds are processed. Customers are responsible for return shipping costs, unless the item is faulty or incorrect.

We'll respond within 2–3 business days with the next steps, including the return address of our warehouse.

🔄 Refunds & Exchanges

For full-priced items, you can choose between:

A full refund

A free exchange

Refunds are processed after we receive and inspect the returned item.

🚫 Final Sale Items — No Returns or Refunds

All items marked Final Sale are sold as-is and cannot be returned, exchanged, or refunded. This includes—but is not limited to—orders where:

The product has been opened, used, consumed, sampled, or its tamper-evident seal has been broken

The customer does not like the taste, smell, texture, format, packaging, or appearance

The product looks, smells, tastes, or feels different than expected but is otherwise within specification

The customer changes their mind or no longer needs the product

The customer ordered the wrong product, strength, size, flavor, format, or quantity

There are minor differences in color, texture, scent, fill level, packaging, label placement, botanical appearance, or other non-material product characteristics

Slight variations between individual products or compared with product images may occur due to natural ingredients, manufacturing, materials, lighting, screen settings, photography, or normal batch-to-batch variation. Such minor variations are not considered defects and do not qualify for a return, replacement, or refund.

The only exception is when an item arrives materially damaged, defective, contaminated, compromised, expired, or different from the item ordered.

Any issue must be reported within 48 hours of confirmed delivery. The customer must provide clear, unedited, time-stamped photos and/or continuous video showing:

The complete product and the specific issue

The product in unused and, where applicable, unopened condition with seals intact

The original packaging and shipping box or mailer

The shipping label and order details

Submitting a claim does not guarantee approval. Claims may be denied when the evidence is incomplete, edited, unclear, inconsistent, submitted after 48 hours, or does not establish that the issue existed at the time of delivery. Normal cosmetic variation, natural variation in botanical ingredients, taste or texture preferences, misuse, improper storage, failure to follow label directions, or damage occurring after delivery are not defects.

If a claim is approved, our standard remedy is a replacement of the same item only, subject to availability. Where permitted by applicable law, the customer is responsible for replacement shipping costs. A refund will only be issued if a replacement is unavailable or if required by applicable law.

We reserve the right to assess all evidence and determine whether a claim meets this policy. This policy does not limit any consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.
