Delivery Responsibility

Please ensure that the delivery address entered at checkout is correct. WeAreK9 cannot be held responsible for delays or lost parcels caused by incorrect address details.

All WeAreK9 equipment is designed for dog handling and training using durable materials suitable for active and working dogs. However, no dog equipment is completely indestructible.

It is the handler’s responsibility to ensure that equipment is appropriate for their dog, fitted correctly, and used safely at all times.

Handlers should regularly inspect collars, leads, and training equipment for signs of wear, damage, or weakness and discontinue use if any issues are found.

WeAreK9 equipment should not be left on dogs unsupervised and should not be used in situations where the dog could become entangled or at risk of injury.

Dogs that pull heavily, lunge, or work with high drive may place increased stress on equipment. In these cases, equipment should be inspected more frequently to ensure continued safety.

WeAreK9 cannot accept responsibility for injury, loss, or damage resulting from:

• Incorrect fitting of equipment

• Improper or unintended use

• Failure to regularly inspect equipment for wear or damage

• Dogs left unattended while wearing equipment

  
  

By using WeAreK9 equipment, the handler accepts responsibility for ensuring it is used safely and appropriately.

Returns

As most WeAreK9 products are handmade to order, customised items cannot usually be returned unless they are faulty.

If there is an issue with your order, please contact us within 14 days of delivery so we can resolve the problem.

To be eligible for a return, items must be:

• Unused and in original condition

• Free from dirt, hair, damage or signs of wear

• Returned with any original packaging where possible

Items that have been used, worn outdoors, or show signs of dog wear cannot be accepted for return.

Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the item is faulty.

Faulty Items

If your order arrives faulty or incorrect, please contact us as soon as possible with:

• Your order number

• A description of the issue

• Clear photos showing the problem

We will assess the issue and arrange a replacement, repair, or refund where appropriate.

Safety Notice

All WeAreK9 equipment should be used responsibly and under supervision. Handlers are responsible for ensuring equipment is suitable for their dog and used correctly.

Warranty

All WeAreK9 equipment is handmade using durable webbing and heavy-duty hardware designed for working and active dogs. Each item is inspected before dispatch.

WeAreK9 products are covered by a 12-month warranty from the date of delivery, covering manufacturing faults only.

This includes issues such as:

• Faulty stitching

• Hardware failure under normal use

• Material defects present at the time of delivery

  
  

If you believe your item has a manufacturing fault within this period, please contact us with your order number and clear photos of the issue so we can assess it.

Where a genuine manufacturing fault is confirmed, WeAreK9 will repair or replace the item where possible. Refunds will only be issued where repair or replacement is not possible.

What the warranty does not cover

The warranty does not cover damage caused by normal use or external factors, including:

• Chewing or biting by the dog

• Cuts, abrasions, or damage caused by rough surfaces

• Damage caused by incorrect use or misuse

• Normal wear and tear over time

• Cosmetic wear such as scuffing or fading

  
  

No dog equipment is completely indestructible, particularly when used by strong or high-drive dogs.

Handlers are responsible for ensuring equipment is suitable for their dog, correctly fitted, and regularly inspected for signs of wear or damage.
