Ordered cat food online from Petnpony…

Ordered cat food online from Petnpony via Amazon for my elderly cat but sadly day after ordered my cat passed away. I noticed they had NOT dispatched food so cancelled order explaining why , BUT seen next day they had gone ahead and dispatched ! I then tried to send them messages but would not allow me to. So I rang, and told cat food on way and would receive (upsetting for me) but would issue a pre paid label for its return and refund me but then they rang me back to say NO, if did want to return have to pay for return & encouraging me to keep!
30/04/26
Reply is NOT true as I did see that my cancellation request had gone through BEFORE dispatch and then after seeing it had been dispatched messages were not accepted their end.
Also yes call handler kind kindly offer pre paid label for return but said would just have to OK with other department in company but then called me back to say sorry but NO they rejected sending pre paid label and if I wanted to return it would be at my cost.
I have since received cat food but could not keep in house as so upsetting so have taken it to animal rescue shelter.

Hi Jane,

We are truly sorry to hear about the loss of your cat. We understand how upsetting this must be, and we’re very sorry you had to deal with an order issue at such a difficult time.

Unfortunately, we did not receive any cancellation request or messages through Amazon before the order was dispatched. As with many orders placed via Amazon, once processing begins, dispatch can happen quickly to meet delivery expectations.

When you contacted us, we offered a return so that a refund could be issued. Our standard policy is that returns are not free, however we did offer a prepaid return label to make the return process easier for you, or the option to return using your own courier. At no point would we intentionally encourage a customer to keep an item they no longer need in a situation like this.

We are very sorry for any confusion or additional distress this situation has caused. If you still wish to return the item, please contact us directly and we will ensure this is handled as smoothly as possible for you.

Kind regards,
PetnPony Team

Pet N Pony is my go to local Pet Super Store in Durham. They literally have everything under one roof, as well as getting exactly what I need it’s lovely to have a look around at all of the different things they offer. Clothing, horse, wild bird, hedgehogs, toys, treats, prescribed animal food and wormers etc and of course all of the fish, birds and animals that they have available. Be prepared to spend at least 30mins to 1hr taking it all in!

Highly recommended local business

Started visiting Pet n Pony whilst looking for supplies for our new puppy. The store has such a great selection of food and toys for her that we're spoilt for choice! The staff are always really welcoming and knowledgeable about what products are best and its so handy having the online store too for those times when we just don't have time to visit in person. I recommend them to all our friends with pets now.

Been using Petnpony for a number of years now and the service is outstanding. We have used the lovely dog food and it’s kept my cross breed healthy and is great value for money. Staff are always friendly and happy to help

Won't use again

Used to order dog food online. Because they used Parcelforce l never actually ended up getting the parcel Refund dealt with quickly but no apology for 2 days wasted sitting in waiting for the delivery so not worth saving a few pounds and having the hassle

Hi thank you for the review and sorry you did not receive your parcel. We checked the tracking and it states a delivery attempt was made but no one was home to take delivery. We can see your order was refunded after speaking with an advisor and requesting to cancel the order. We have requested more information from Parcel Force to find out why your delivery was not succesful to help make the service better in the future.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Best regards

Poor customer service

Contacted twice regarding an order I made with them in early October to ask about a dispatch date and have received nothing back from them. Considering phoning and asking for a refund at this point as it was a horse saddle I ordered.

Best price, quick service

On the 14th of November I bought a Acavallo gel seat cover for my saddle.
I looked online a lot to find the best price.
Petnpony had the very best price, including the P&P costs.
It arrived two days after my order, so super quick!
I was really impressed with the speed delivery.
Up to Amazon Prime standards! but cheaper. ;)
