Yes, that's right; as of February 1st of 2001, the 'Distance Selling' law is effective. This means that with every e-commerce transaction, the consumer has a 14 days thinking period to revoke the transaction without a statement of reasons. Returned goods are only accepted in this case if both the product and the packaging are completely undamaged and unused. The shipping costs for returned goods are to be paid by the consumer (unpaid returns are not accepted). Dog's Companion will reimburse the paid amount within 14 days after receiving the returned goods. In short: the only risk you take upon ordering one of our products is paying for the returned goods' shipping costs in case the product isn't to your liking.
In principle, yes. All the colours shown on our website are available for ordering in every size. In the case that a particular colour doesn't have a specific size left in stock, it will be mentioned in the section 'Colours' on the website.
The delivery time for Holland: +/- 2-3 days. Belgium: +/- 7 days Other EU countries: delivery time is about 5 to 6 days. If ordered through wire transfer, it will take 4 days from the moment the money is on our account. If correctly ordered via credit card, you should have the product at home within 5 days.
Yes, that's possible: you can send it back (we do not accept unpaid returns) and enclose a note which mentions the size you would like to exchange it for (along with your name and address). The difference in the amount of money for the different size will be wired back to your account/ will have to be wired to our account. Shipping costs are not reimbursed.
You go to the page 'Order' and there you can select a product (dog bed complete/ extra cover/ eps beads). After that you can select the size and the colour. From there on the website reveals you the part where you can alter the amount of products or remove the product from your basket. After that, you can either click on 'continue shopping' to add other products to your basket or you can click 'Send order' to just give the order through. If you clicked 'Send order', the website will show you a confirmation of your order, along with the payment instructions. A copy of that confirmation will be automatically sent to your e-mail address.
Yes, the shipping is done via the parcel service of TNT. If you are not at home, then the people from the parcel service will try it again at a later point in the day or the next day. In the case that you then still weren't at home to receive the package, the parcel service will leave you a note with the address of the nearest postal office where you can pick up the package during the next 2 weeks.
Yes, that's possible. Upon ordering, you can select a different delivery address (for instance, friends' or work address). Make sure you inform the people at this delivery address that there's a package to be delivered. If the delivery address is meant to be a gift and you wish to receive the bill, we kindly ask you to give us this information under 'remarks' when ordering.
No, this is not necessary, because the dog bed is delivered complete with cover. It does come in handy however if you want to wash the cover. Besides it's fun to have some more variation in the colours. Therefore it happens all the time that people decide to order an extra cover upon the first order.
Yes, but only if you fill in your correct e-mail address. After ordering, you will see an automatic confirmation of your order on screen. Simultaneously, a copy of that confirmation will be sent to your e-mail address. In the case of remarks placed with the order; these remarks will be replied to later on the day( if needed).
For Holland: No, the shipping costs are 3,95 euros per order, even if you order several dog beds in that particular order. If your order exceeds the amount of 99 euros, no shipping costs will be incurred.
For other EU countries: the delivery costs depend on the quantity of your shopping basket. The shipping costs will be calculated per package. For example: if some smaller products are added to the shopping basket than these goods can be delivered in one single package. If for example you order a couple of big sized dogbeds than multiple packages have to be sent. Always check your shopping basket for the exact shipping costs.
Yes, these terms and conditions do apply accordingly.
Yes, that is possible. Send us an e-mail for the shipping costs for that particular country.
No, for most EU countries the delivery time is +/- 3 to 5 (working)days, but for Switzerland this is +/- 1 week. This is because of extra time that it takes for the clearence by the customs in that country.
As a guideline, the contents of a new dog bed are:
Extra Small ; 25 ltr.
Small ; 50 ltr.
Medium ; 120 ltr.
Large ; 175 ltr.
Superlarge ; 300 ltr.
Yes, we do. We only use filling of the highest quality for our beds. This filling we use consists of new, small EPS pearls. This type of filling keeps its volume longer, as opposed to the filling which is often used in other dog beds, often this is recycled tempex. That type of material is of a lesser quality and has the added disadvantage of being rather dusty. Other dog beds often use fibrefill, which disables the possibility of taking the shape of the body it supports and also has the tendency to stick together and form bundles. The EPS pearls do not absorb any scent and are not poisonous. The EPS pearls can even be used for refilling beanbags.
No, this isn't necessary. The dog bed is already complete, well filled and ready to be used.
Yes, this is possible, according to the washing instructions inside the cover.
Yes, this is possible. However, this is only necessary if an accident occurred on the bed. You can wash the inner bed in the bath tub or in the shower. The filling will not absorb any form of liquid, so it will not expand either. It's best to hang the bed out to dry above the bath tub and to let it dry out in the wind outside afterwards. Drying the bed should take a day or two.
Yes, there's a six month guarantee period on the stitches and the zipper (when usage is deemed normal).
These measurements are measured as followed: for instance, the medium bed (90 x 70 cm). This is measured looking at the outer cover, flat down on the ground. On thing to keep in mind is that as soon as the cover is placed on the inner bed, the ground surface will be a bit smaller.
Yes, that's possible. The inner bed should be flexible, so it can be adjusted to fit the cover. Take into account that the sizes indicated by other brands might differ from the sizes offered by Dog's Companion; what we call the medium size might be called the large size with other brands.
The inner bed's cover is made of a high quality nylon. This firm material is also quite smooth, so it's easy to take off the outer cover and put it back on after cleaning.
The dirt-repellent coating is an all weather fabric: these all wether dog beds are ideal if you have dogs that have a tendency to get dirty while playing outside. This fabric is easy to wipe off dirt with a wet cloth and hairs can be shook off easily as well. The dirt-repellent fabric is easy to wash. From our experience we can say that the dog won't mind it that the fabric is more smooth than the cotton fabric. It's ideal when planning to use the dog bed outside.
You can check the size of the cover on the label. You can find this label behind the zipper. The inner bed also contains a label with the indications you need.
