OTHER

Please understand, each item is hand-made so no two will be exactly alike. No product for dogs is indestructible, and pet gear will show wear after extended use, rough play/handling, and/or certain environmental influences out of our control. Normal wear and tear will not be considered a defect.
Please remember we are not Walmart or Amazon, we are a small family-owned business. We make every attempt to handle returns, warranties, and order changes fairly and reasonably. We hope our customers will do the same.

Pet owners are responsible for their pets and the gear used. Always inspect items carefully and discontinue use if they show wear or breakage. Fox Valley Pet Wear will not be responsible for injuries or misuse of our products. Use good judgment and common sense with the safety of your pet in mind at all times.
