T & C’s

Laughing Dog subscriptions

  1. You will be required to register at www.laughingdogfood.com  as a customer in order to set up your Subscription Service.
  2. There is no limit to the number  of subscriptions created per account. A single subscription can be taken out for one dog, or to cover multiple dogs. However, we do place a limit on the number of subscriptions that can be set up and cancelled. A subscription can be set up and cancelled a maximum of three times. If attempts are made to set up further subscriptions, the account user will be blocked from doing so and no subscription can be created.
  3. There is no minimum subscription length when you sign up, subscriptions simply roll over until you choose to cancel (please note if you cancel your subscription 3 times, you will not be able to create another subscription). You can choose from weekly, fortnightly, three weekly, monthly, 6 weekly, 2 monthly or 3 monthly. After submitting your subscription request, you will receive a welcome e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received and accepted your request to set up a subscription. Once you have set up your subscription service, we will send you the products you have subscribed for at the frequency you have indicated. You will receive a Dispatch Confirmation for each subsequent subscription service order. You can cancel your subscription service at any time before the products are dispatched by logging into your account. If a product is no longer available, we will notify you of this. You will then be able to cancel your subscription service or amend the products in your subscription.
  4. Once a subscription has been created, no changes can be made until the second payment has triggered. At this point, you will be able to amend frequency, payment date, as well as add and/or remove products. If you make any of these changes after your subscription order has been triggered, the changes will apply to your next order.
  5. You may pause or cancel your subscription at any time (unless your order has already been dispatched). Please note that a pause on a subscription will place it on hold for a period of 14 days, after which point the subscription will become active again. If you need to cancel your subscription, you can do this within the My Account area.
  6. If you require to make any changes to your subscription (e.g. removing or adding items, changing billing date or frequency) this can be done from the My Account page. All changes must be made at least 72 hours in advance of your subscription order triggering. This is to allow time for our system to update and for order processing.
  7. Failed payments – if your payment fails we will notify you via email and/or telephone.
  8. Offers and Discounts. 15% discount will be applied from your first order. Promotional codes cannot be used in conjunction with our subscription service. Members only products are exclusive for subscription customers only. Additional discount codes cannot be used in conjunction with subscriptions as you will be classed as a subscription customer (e.g.  if you are purchasing a subscription and/or making an ad-hoc purchase in addition to having a subscription), you will  not be able to use a discount code. However, you will be able to purchase one off orders using a discount code.
  9. Delivery – all orders that trigger before 11:30am Monday-Friday, will be dispatched the same day for delivery on the next working day. Any subscriptions that trigger an order after 11:30am on a Friday, will be dispatched the next working day. Please note: we do not process orders or deliver on weekends or bank holidays.
  10. We will honour the prices on your subscription for a period of 12 months from its original set up date. After that time, you will be notified in advance if there has been any price increases, e.g due to rising costs of ingredients.
