Q: How will my order be sent to me and when will I receive it?

Food orders within the Continental US

We use FedEx and USPS as our delivery service for dry food and vitamin orders. Frozen orders are shipped via FedEx. Items will arrive in 2-10 days depending on your location. Frozen orders are shipped out Monday through Wednesday for same week delivery so that frozen packages do not sit over a weekend. If you place your order between Wednesday and Sunday your order will ship on the following Monday. Depending on where you live, frozen orders placed on Tuesdays may also have to wait until the following Monday to ship. When your order is shipped, a tracking number will be emailed to you and you can follow the status of your package by logging into your My Account

International orders and orders outside the Continental US

We ship all orders outside the Continental US via USPS Priority mail. These orders can take 1-6 weeks to arrive depending on where you live. Frozen items CANNOT be shipped outside the Continental US.
