Product reactions or Adverse health effects
Please contact us immediately If your pet experiences any adverse health effects or reactions to a product you have purchased from us.
For any pet medical emergency, please consult your pet’s VET for all health advice. Our customer service team is not trained or authorized to provide you with any medical advice.
We will put you in touch with the product manufacturer who normally have their own set of procedures to follow to deal with reported adverse reactions. Please keep the product in its original packaging and note the batch number/expiry date along with any proof of adverse impact on your pet.
Our team will guide you, but as online retailers we have very little control on the product quality issues so we engage the manufacturer directly with you for the best and quickest resolution. In most cases, they will provide you with an alternative substitute and might use the information for their research and development purposes.
You must give us your consent to share your contact details with the product manufacturer for follow up in these health impacting circumstances. The claim for any refund is such cases is made directly to the manufacturer. AVP Online Pty Ltd cannot be held liable for any damages in case of faulty products or adverse reactions.
