    Awful service. Couldn’t provide an estimated delivery date for 12 days after purchase (before the postal strike). In the email receipt they provide tracking information which guarantees updates within five business days. When I finally got an update I saw it would not arrive in time for me to use. When I reached out to them about this they refused to issue a refund and said I’d have to ship it back at my own expense. Apparently they are not bound to the promises made in the email receipt because their website says something different. But that information is not provided anywhere directly to the customer, you have to go looking for it. On the other hand, the timeline in the receipt is provided directly to the customer, and any reasonable person would assume that this information was valid. Horrible customer service, complete lack of accountability, ******** ******** **********

    I was not shipped all of my items. Packages came over multiple weeks. At the end, when it was apparent that I didn't recieve my product, I contacted customer service. I was told that I needed to take pictures of all the packaging and items in order to "investigate". When explaining that I had not been storing the packaging over the last several weeks and that it was not possible for me to send them pictures of it, I was told they cannot help me with my order and that I was out of luck. It is a poor customer service model. * *** ** ***** ******* ******** ****** **** **** **** ** *** *** ***** **** ******** *********

    The first time I ordered from Spark Paws, I mistakenly ordered the wrong size. It was a hoodie for my greyhound. When I emailed them to do an exchange, it was a seamless process. My email was responded to right away. The customer service was awesome. So I got my new size and it’s perfect. The quality is top notch.
    So I ordered a second hoodie with a matching one for myself. And I just got them the other day. * *** ****** **** **** ******* ** ***** **** ****** *** ***** ****** ***** ** ****** *** ******** *** I was pleasantly surprised. It’s mid-weight, not too oversized, and very soft. *** ******* ** **** ** * ********* ** *** *** ***. So I’m VERY happy with my purchases.
    The only thing I didn’t like, was the fact that I had to wait longer to get it because it comes from China. But the quality and style of my items makes up for that.

    I had bought from this brand in the past, and it's always been a hassle with returns/exchanges. Last time, I ordered two hoodies for my two cats in size S and they were too small, so I exchanged for M. M was perfect. Now, I tried buying them 2 pajamas and ordered size M, since previously, that was their perfect size. Well, M would not fit by far and I asked for an exchange. I sent the 2 M back to them to exchange for L. They emailed me back saying they found a few hairs on one of the PJs (only after trying on my cat ONCE, label in tact etc) and tried charging me $7 for it as if they couldn't resell this item after brushing off the few hairs. Then they wanted me to pay $7 for a return label in order to send my replacement sizes, despite advertising free exchanges. With each email, new "rules" and "terms/conditions" kept comping up that aren't readily visible when just shopping. I finally gave up and told them to cancel it all and process a return instead. TERRIBLE customer service.

    Hi *********,
    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your recent experience with us. I apologize for the inconvenience and frustration you've encountered with your order and return process. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and I want to assure you that we take your concerns seriously.
    I'm truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you've faced with the sizing and exchange process. It's our goal to provide a seamless and enjoyable shopping experience for all our customers, and it's disheartening to learn that we fell short of meeting your expectations this time.
    Regarding the issues you encountered with the return of the pajamas and the unexpected charges for the hairs found on one of the items, I understand how frustrating this must have been for you. Our intention is never to inconvenience our customers or complicate the return process.
    Upon reviewing your previous orders, we noted that on November 10, 2023, you placed an order with reference ***********, and on November 11th, you requested an exchange for three items for a bigger size, which is complimentary as per our policy for the first exchange. However, during the processing of your exchange, there was an error in refunding the entire order instead of just the three items. Although we requested the return of the refunded amount, we did not receive any response from you, and the remaining balance was not returned.
    Now, with your fifth order, you mentioned that the pajamas did not fit and requested an exchange for a larger size. As this is your second exchange, it is no longer free. We offered you the option to return the item with you covering the shipping cost, or we could generate a shipping label for you, with the cost to be covered upon processing your exchange item. You opted for a prepaid label, which we provided. However, our policy dictates that returns are only accepted for items in good condition and unworn. Upon inspection, one of the pajamas had hairs on it, prompting a discussion about a $7 shipping fee. Despite this, we understand your frustration and have issued a refund for the returned pajamas without charging the shipping fee.
    We are committed to improving our customer service and refining our return and exchange process based on your feedback.
    Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced, and I thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We value your patronage and hope to have the opportunity to restore your trust in the future.

    I purchased a leash and collar set for my dog 9 months ago and last night the leash clip completely broke. I reached out to customer service and was told they only have a 6 month warranty and they classify this as regular wear and tear. Offered me a 10% discount on a new purchase. For the amount of money I spent one would think they would stand behind their product better, not sure how a metal clasp breaking is regular wear and tear. * **** *** * ***** **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** *** **** ***** *** ** ***** **** *** Wont be purchasing from them again...

    Ordered a dog jacket 2xl size based on their online guide for measurements and added a little. This was for a medium sized dog. Received a jacket that would maybe fit a small or small-medium sized dog. Obviously was mis-labeled.
    Upon asking for a refund I was promptly told that was not going to happen. I could ship it back at my cost which was 40-50% of the cost or get a gift card to then buy what will probably be more faulty product.
    When asked for an exchange in sized they told me it was sold out.
    Basically now I'm out $60+ and won't order from them or any other company that won't stand behind defective product.
    Warning the product is made in China.

    Hi ****,
    Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your recent purchase of the 3XL size jacket. We appreciate your feedback and concern about the sizing.

We want to ensure that you have the best fit possible and would like to remind you that we have a comprehensive size guide available on our website to assist you before making any purchase. Our size guide provides detailed instructions on how to measure the chest and neck, or alternatively, you can find the size using the weight by breed.

    Additionally, we see that you've opted to receive a store credit.
    Thank you for your feedback.

    The people you have working for you clearly don't understand English when I asked for a return label it took me 2 hours to make them understand. They kept wanting to do an exchange ok it was free to exchange it but then I'm going to have to wait another 3 weeks to or more do to the holidays now . And that would put it passed the 30 day refund I told them not unless they had it in the us but there was nothing in stock in the us so I instead said I just want.to be refunded and return the product it should not taken2 hours to do this plus no phone number to call either it would of made it faster then do all this texting online so too my I a disappointed customer. I better get my money back I have all the tracking information that it was left with an individual.
