Welcome

Hello,
So this is the boring, fine print. All of my items are designed, created and made by me. Custom orders are welcomed. The items listed here are made in standard sizing; however I strongly reccommend that purchasers included their dogs measurements, so that I can ensure that their sizing choice is correct. In the event that the sizing choice is wrong, then I will contact the purchaser to arrange a different size. Doing this ensures that the item is correct the first time and avoids disappointment.

Remote locations may be shipped via ExpressPost which provides a tracking number. International shipments are shipped via Small Packet Air which does not provide a tracking number. Tracking numbers can be provided to International Shipments, however the purchaser will be charged the difference between regular shipping rates and rates for trackable shipping.

Refunds, Returns and Exchanges

Items offered in the Zibbet store and on the webpage are "standard" sizes based on averages of dog lengths and chest sizing. Customers who have dogs which require special sizing eg. deep chested breeds: bulldogs, boston terriers, pugs etc.; short legs: dachsunds, corgis, bassets etc., unique body structures: chinese crested, greyhound, whippet; should contact Tootlewear for assistance prior to purchasing.

Customers who have dogs which fall on the dividing line between sizes should contact Tootlewear or prior to purchasing. Do not try and squeeze your dog into a size that is too small!!!

Items purchased either from the Zibbet store or from the webpage without contacting Tootlewear prior to purchasing to discuss sizing or special needs regarding "standard" sizing offered are in-eligble for exchange, return or refund unless item is defective.

Should the customer have contacted Tootlewear prior to purchasing a "standard" size and the item does not fit, then the item may be exchanged for either a smaller or larger size depending on need. Customer will be charged full price for new item plus shipping. Original item is to be returned to Tootlewear at customer's expense. Once item is recieved and is determined to be in good condition, it is then subject to a 20% re-stocking fee, after which the remaining balance is applied as a credit to the purchase price of the new item. Exchanges are limited to 1 and only 1 exchange per original purchase and exchanges are only for sizing. Exchanges cannot be used to switch from 1 item to another.

If you purchase a "standard" size that does not allow for deep chests, short legs etc. and you did not or could not be bothered to contact us prior to purchasing to discuss your dog and the item does not fit, it is not our responsiblity to refund, exchange, accept a return or offer free of charge or at a reduced charge any replacement item. Should you contact us that the item does not fit, we will be happy to assist you in purchasing a correctly sized or custom order at full price.

Measure and be sure!!!! If you have any doubts please contact us!

Tootlewear Dog Apparel has enjoyed interacting and working with our customers to dress their dogs in stylish, functional outfits. Unfortunately the actions of a very few, who chose to abuse our relaxed, customer friendly attitude regarding orders, sales, etc. have forced Tootlewear Dog Apparel to impliment this rigid and very strict policy statute. We deeply regret any inconvience that this policy change has caused and look forward to working with our customers past, present and future.
