12)What is your expiry date policy as most of your products are consumables?

Ans: For our top selling listings, we update the expiry date of the product in the respective products pages. However, because of the huge amount of products in our collection, it is not possible to update every listing. While we try to deliver products from the freshest batch, there can be cases where fresh stock is not available from manufacturer, in such cases we make sure product will be minimum 3 months before expiry or we will cancel and fully refund. Also you are eligible for replacement/refund if the date mentioned in the listing is not close to the expiry date of the product received.

If the quantity you have bought wont be used totally within expiry period – suppose you bought huge quantity and you have only 1 pet, you can always request return and replacement/refund of full quantity/partial quantity received as long as you don’t open the product seal.

Still if you have any doubts, before purchasing, you can always ask us the respective expiry date for the product or tell us to share image/video of manufactured/expiry/best before dates, batch number as on product that you want to buy by emailing us or whatsapping us using the Whatsapp button at the bottom-right corner of every page.
