Delivery information
Christmas Delivery Times 2025
We would be heartbroken if your furry friend didn't get their gift this year, that's why we always say to order as soon as possible to avoid delivery delays over Christmas. Please note: That the below information are guidelines given to us by Royal Mail, and in the worst case they could potentially get delayed. Please give plenty of time for delivery.
UK: Orders need to be made on Wednesday 17th December by 12pm (GMT) at the latest for delivery before Christmas.
Europe: Orders should be made by Monday 8th December by 12pm (GMT) at the latest for delivery before Christmas.
USA: Orders should be made by Monday 8th December by 12pm (GMT) at the latest for delivery before Christmas.
Again, please be aware that these are guidelines given by Royal Mail. Please order in plenty of time (especially when not ordering from the UK).
Cut Off Times
The early bird catches the worm, so if you order is received before 2pm (Monday - Friday) it will be dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 2pm, at a weekend or on an English bank holiday, will be sent the next working day.

International Deliveries
BREXIT has resulted in new export rules into the EU. Sending parcels into the EU can attract new "Import Taxes" applied at the destination, if over 22euros in value. This is around £20. We do not have further details of the level of tax at this stage, but check back for further info in due course.
