Returns & Exchanges

We hope your dog is wagging with joy over their new gear!  But if it is the wrong size or not what you expected, for most of our products, there is no problem to exchange or return new/unused items to us within 28 days . 

Contact us on info@caninespirit.com.au quoting your order number and we will email you a return form that you can print out and include with your return.  If you want advice on sizing, etc, include your dog's breed, weight and measurements and also feel free to include a pic.  Returns/exchanges are by post only. 

Exchanges are treated as a new order so:

  • If the item you are exchanging is valued over $70, your exchange out will ship Free Regular Delivery
  • If the item you are exchanging is valued under $70, there will be a $6.95 Regular Delivery fee - we will email you the invoice for this.
  • You are responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item to us.
  • Please do not send pre-paid bags for us to return the item to you as we cannot use these.
  • For refunds, they will be applied to method used for the purchase. Please allow a few extra days for your credit card company/bank to process your refund. Refunds exclude any original delivery costs you were charged. For backpacks and items that have been exchanged multiple times & then sent back for refund there is a 10% restocking fee. 
  • Items that have been requested on 'special order' can not be exchanged or refunded.

We aim to process exchanges/refunds as quickly as we can - typically within 1-2 business days.  We'll drop you an email as soon as we do!

Please ensure you meet the following before you send your items back. Items not meeting these cannot be exchanged or refunded.

  • Items must be returned unused (not washed) and in new condition with undamaged product tags/hangers attached/included.
  • Items must be clean and free of all dirt, dog hair & odour to be accepted. We recommend only trying them on your dog indoors & for a short period of time so they remain clean and don't pick up odour.
  • Sale Priced items may be exchanged only for a like item if available or items of equal value within 14 days of receipt. 
  • Special order and Clearance items are final sale and can't be exchanged or refunded.  For hygiene reasons we can not accept the return of dog socks.

As such, we recommend you hold on to your proof of posting in case you need to contact Australia Post or send it back to us via a tracked or insured service.

Warranty Queries

We only choose to retail products that are made to a high quality and from suppliers dedicated to making the best dog gear available.  We uphold our suppliers guarantees for gear against defects in materials and craftsmanship.   

While we understand that the unexpected can happen, our suppliers guarantees cover manufacturing and materials defects only. 

We/they DO NOT cover accidental damage or cuts, damage from abrasion or rubbing, improper or misuse of the product, chewing, or normal wear and tear.  Modifications, abuse, alterations, disassembly, negligence or use for a purpose other than for which it was designed is also not covered.

Please contact us on info@canine-spirit.com with your order number and details of the fault.
