  I am frustrated to see a subscription fee deducted from my account this morning. There was no email or warning of this deduction in recent days. I purchased an allergy chew for my dog and still have plenty left to use. Now I find I am being shipped more, without any warning. I would like a refund please, as I cannot use all this product!

  Thank you for the opportunity to respond. 

  We are very sorry that the customer did not receive an email notifying her of her next autoship order. We typically send out such emails 3 days prior to the next order processing, but have discovered there was an issue that impacted this customer receiving her notification email and have raised this issue with the appropriate internal team. We agree with the customer that it is important to be advised of when your account will be charged and another order shipped and apologize that this did not happen for her. On investigating further, we see that the customer has already received assistance from our ************* team and had her subscription successfully cancelled with a refund issued for the unneeded order. The customer shared additional feedback with us via her communication to our team, which we truly appreciate. One of our supervisors will be reaching out for additional details so that we can continue to improve our services and the customer experience. If the customer requires any additional assistance, we are happy to help. Thank you.

  I bought a product from this company on line for my dog. It was a one time purchase as I wanted to evaluate the effectiveness of the product. Today I discover that I have been subscribed to monthly purchases and their product is being shipped to my house and my bank account has been charged. I never requested monthly shipping. After much searching on their web site, I was able to end the monthly subscription, however, there was no provision for a refund.

  We are sorry for any confusion or frustration the customer has experienced. In digging into what happened, it looks like on January 25, 2024, the customer chose the subscription rather than the one-time purchase option when when placing their order for Allergy & Immune Probiotic Chews. That subscription's auto-ship is set for monthly, which is why another order was automatically processed/shipped. Please note that we cannot put a customer into a subscription plan on our own. The customer does have to purchase one, and our customers always have the option of choosing "Subscribe & Save" or "One-Time". We've confirmed that the subscription was successfully canceled. We are also issuing a full refund for the unexpected order. We are sending the customer an email directly to let them know as well. We are happy to help the customer if any further assistance is needed. Thank you.

  Ordered (#*******) **************** for dogs for a total of ***** on 9/4/23. Requested it be shipped/mailed to a different address than mine/billing address.Received an email stating that there is a problem with my order as the shipping address is different from the billing address and I need to confirm.On 9/5/23 I called the number provided and left a message of what I received and asked for someone to call me back so I can confirm. My credit card was also charged on this date. On 9/6/23 I went to the web site and completed a message form under the contact us area requesting someone contact me. I received an email confirmation they receive the message. On 9/7/23 I received an email cancelling my order and another email stating I would be reimbursed *****. That is not the total my card was charged. I responded to both of these emails stating I attempted twice to contact them and the amount I should be receiving is *****, the total I was charged.This is a scam and fraud/theft.

  We are very sorry that the customer had this experience. The customer's order was flagged by our system because of the differing shipping and billing addresses. We are sorry with the mix-** in communication that resulted in the order being cancelled prior to our ************* team contacting the customer. We do show that the full refund amount for the original order of $35.60 was issued. We were able to speak with the customer over the phone and send out a replacement order free of charge given the inconvenience. We understand the customer's frustration and apologize again that this happened. Thank you.

  I purchased the product for $38.69 as a joint supplement for my dogs which is what it was advertised for. Upon giving the correct dosage to the dogs, they refused to eat it. I persisted trying to give it to them and 30 minutes later they began vomiting up the product I immediately emailed this to the companys customer help line and asked how to get a refund, how to return it etc. after several days they sent a request which included 12 questions about pet weight, breed , immunizations etc. I provided all the information plus attached photos and order number. Again they emailed me saying I didnt answer enough questions. I think that if they stood by their product , I should get a refund upon returning product. They are not doing that.

  Hello,

  Thank you for the opportunity to respond. We are so sorry to hear the customer's pet had this experience.

  Our records show that this customer initially reached out to us on 3/1/2023 regarding this situation, and one of our agents immediately responded by emailing them back the previously discussed questionnaire on the same day. The customer submitted the remaining needed information for the questionnaire on 3/8/2023, and we fully refunded them the next day. Also, we have already informed this customer that they have been fully refunded.

  We really appreciate the customer providing answers to our questions. We care about our customers' and their pets' experiences. It is important that we investigate and document these situations and gather pertinent information for quality assurance purposes and so that we can better serve our customers in the future.

  Sincerely,
  PetLab Co.

  I have found 2 different order numbers from this company for my 1 order placed on December 26, 2022: ************* and a Store Order #******* for these items: Product(s): Probiotic Chew - Subscription x 3, Clear Ears Therapy - Monthly Subscription (Bump offer) x 1, 1X Beef Jerky - Subscription (Bump Offer) x 1, 2.5oz Wild Caught Salmon Bites (Free Gift) x 1. Total cost $87.27. I gave my two pit bulls 2 probiotic chews each for 3 days in a row on Wednesday, January 4, 2023 - Friday, January 6, 2023. On the 4th day, Saturday, January 7, 2023, one of my pit bulls had died overnight. I immediately stopped the use of the probiotics for my other dog. On Sunday, January 8, 2023 I cancelled the monthly subscription, requested a refund and a return authorization so I can send the products back. The website said I would hear from my request within 2 business days. It has been 5 days with no response from *********** other than automated emails offering me free items and pet advice.

  Hello:

   Thank you for the opportunity to respond.

  We are so sorry for the customer's loss. As pet parents, we understand what a difficult time this must be for them. We take these matters very seriously and have reached out to get additional details to investigate this further. Our records show we did receive a message on 1/8/2023 and did not respond until today (1/13/2023) due to delays caused by the recent holiday season. These response delays are not typical, and we apologize for any inconvenience the longer wait for a response caused. We are assisting the customer with their requests and are also unsubscribing them from our marketing and advice mailing.

  Sincerely,

  PetLab Co.

  I just want to cancel a subscription that I was signed up for without y knowledge. This company auto ships product without consent and it costs a fortune. Their website is rigged to not work. I can provide all of the order numbers, the first one being the ONLY one I authorized:7/11/22 order #******* (authorized a one time order)8/11/22 order #******* (not authorized, I was charged $50.75)9/11/22 order #******* (I did not authorize this)10/10/22 order #******* (not authorized)11/11/22 order #******* (not authorized)I have been trying desperately to cancel this auto ship and the website is rigged to not allow you to proceed. I thought my computer was broken, or that I was crazy. The phone number just rings and rings and messages have not been returned. I can't afford this product (that doesn't even work) and I'm desperate to stop $50+ being stolen from me every single month as I desperately try to stop them. Can you help?

  Business Response

  Date: 12/06/2022

  Thank you for the opportunity to respond. 

  We are very sorry to hear the customer has experienced difficulty cancelling her subscription. We show that the customer signed up for a subscription on July 11, 2022. While our website does offer one-time purchase options as well as subscriptions, we never switch a one-time purchase to a subscription. Subscriptions have to be chosen by the customer. Our customer account portal recently experienced a technical glitch around the Thanksgiving holidays which was causing an issue with our cancel button, but that has been fixed. We understand how important it is for customers to be able to completely manage their accounts, including the ability to easily cancel. Our records do not show any attempt by the customer to reach out to us either by phone or email prior to an email message we received on 12/5/22. We responded 12/6/22 with a standard message to confirm that the customer was aware of subscription management options before cancelling. However, we have gone ahead and cancelled the subscription for the customer. We are also refunding the most recent order. We are reaching out to the customer directly to communicate these updates. If she needs any assistance in the future, we are happy to help.

  This company refuses to let me cancel my subscription. *** tried over a dozen ********** doesnt work, & everytime I try to contact them through their contact form it says theres an error. Their instagram is full of comments of others having the same ******* ****** finally respond on Instagram messages after multiple comments (which they later delete) & their response was to refuse to delete my account- supposedly for security reasons. They claim my account is inactive due to payment failure but I want it completely canceled because if the payment doesnt fail in the future, I could be charged again. Them refusing to delete my ******************* that Ive been trying to cancel for months now (way before my payment failed) is unethical & Ive been told its illegal as well. I truly wanted to like this ***************** stayed a customer if it werent for the unethical scam practices & horrific customer service. You cant make it impossible for a bunch of people to cancel subscriptions & delete their accounts, thats unethical & illegal. I want my subscription & account CANCELLED, not just listed as inactive

  We are very sorry that this customer experienced difficulty cancelling her subscription. Our online portal experienced a technical issue that affected customers' ability to cancel, but this has been corrected. We totally understand how important it is for customers to have easy access and functionality regarding managing their account, including cancellation. We also have no problem removing any account information if we are requested to do so by the customer. The customer reached out to us via email on Nov. 26 and then again on Nov. 29, this time via Instagram. We responded same day. We have cancelled the customer's subscription and deleted her account from our system. She has been notified of these updates. We are sorry for any inconvenience or frustration the customer experienced. If she needs any further assistance, we are happy to help.

  I signed up for a recurring subscription for Dog supplements four months ago, I tried the product but it did not work as expected for my dog issues on his health improvement. I went to the website a few days ago and tried canceling my subscription using the site tab to cancel any future shipments of the product. Once I click on the cancel subscription box nothing happens, it stays on the same cancel subscription tab, however they offer to delay future shipments but they wont allow customers to cancel it. I have tried a pc , my phone, a laptop a tablet on several days thinking it might have been just a temporary glitch. Tried my cellular network different wi fi and nothing seems to allow to cancel. I contacted the company via e-mail and they ask for a reason for cancellation. Same question they have on the website for canceling subscriptions. Now I have to open a charge dispute with **** to cancel my subscription that way, which has caused my bank to send a replacement card with a $40 fee. Business should be transparent and do not miss lead customers in thinking that canceling is and option on their website.
