Please Note: All shipping carriers are experiencing unprecedented volume that may cause tracking update and final delivery delays. We process orders at our distribution centers around the clock to get your order in transit as fast as possible! However, delivery dates during check out are estimations provided by the shipping carrier and some packages may experience delays while in transit. It may take up to 24 hours for the first tracking scan to appear online though the package has departed our facilities. Once the package has been scanned by the carrier, the estimated delivery will update on the carriers tracking site.
Once a tracking code has been generated, we will not cancel or make changes to your order.

Free/Included ItemsFree or bonus items included with purchase may be substituted with other items of similar value as necessary and will be shipped using the lowest cost means available.
Tracking InformationWe will post tracking numbers to your order at the time of shipment or as soon as they are available. If there is a signature requirement on your package (Slatmill, Treadmill Orders), for security purposes we will not remove that requirement for any reason.
Address ChangesPackages will be delivered to the address confirmed on your order. For security, address changes cannot be made after the order is placed. We are unable to change shipping addresses, redirect, or place a hold on a shipped package.

All items purchased from Canine Athletes are made pursuant to a shipment contract, meaning that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier. We strongly recommend purchasing Shipping Protection when ordering to protect your order from damage or loss. Orders placed with Shipping Protection receive the Canine Athletes guarantee of delivery.
Sometimes packages are incorrectly scanned as delivered before they are dropped off. Please wait 24 hours to see if your package is delivered. If you still can not find it please try checking with your neighbors.
If your tracking shows delivered but you can not find it, we suggest you contact the shipping carrier immediately. We advise you to insist on talking to a manager or supervisor. The clerk will always tell you to contact the seller; it's their way to make their problem disappear. When you speak to the supervisor, explain the situation and request a GPS location scan. They keep GPS location records for every package they scan as delivered but they are not forthcoming with this information, so you must verbally request it. If they delivered the package to the wrong address, we can use this information to file an insurance claim. We also recommend that you file a missing mail search request online with USPS immediately.

Tracking for USPS First Class is not updated in real-time, and sometimes not updated at all, especially for international deliveries.

If your order does not arrive after 6 weeks, please contact us.
