Shipping Update - A Message to Our Customers
Jan 7, 2020
Our shipping carriers have been drastically impacted by the ongoing pandemic and standard holiday season, and we hear your disappointment with any and all shipping delays. We understand the biggest delays are occurring with USPS, and for that reason, we have decided to ship exclusively with UPS until further notice. Packages sent via UPS have more timely and reliable tracking information at this time, and despite its higher cost, we feel this is the right decision at this time.
We would like to remind those placing time-sensitive orders of our option to pick up your order in-person at a variety of locations in the Baltimore area. If you are placing an order from outside of the Baltimore area, please understand that once a package leaves our facility, it is fully at will of the shipping carrier.
The sentiment of many communications regarding late orders have saddened us - and please know we share your frustration. The overwhelming response had us consider temporarily closing our online shop, but we still need your support.
To our customers still waiting on packages that were shipped out in December via USPS, we are incredibly saddened that you did not receive your package before Christmas. If we had known this would be the case, we would not have shipped with this carrier. We have opened over 28 claims with USPS in hopes of expediting the process from here forward.
We sincerely appreciate your patience with us as we face issues that we've never faced before.

I selected in-store pickup. When can I pick up my order?
Free In-store pick-up orders almost always arrive faster than items that are shipped. Still, please allow 2-4 business days for us to process your order and get it to your pickup location. You will receive an email notification when your order is ready for pickup. Our current pickup locations are Dogtopia of Canton and Loyal Companion McHenry Row.
Is Shipping Free?
Shipping is FREE when you spend $75+ say heyyyy. Shipping for orders less than $75 is $5.99 to $6.99 depending on order size and location. This price is higher than normal because we have chosen to ship exclusively with UPS until furthur notice.
