"What happens if I have backyard meat puppies that are dead upon arrival? Can I get a refund or re-ship?"
Not to worry--this is so common! As such, we will refund or send a replacement for the death loss of dogs if you report the death loss at the end of your 48-hour guarantee period. If the death loss is less than 15, we only offer a refund because shipping less than 15 will result in more death loss during shipping. If the death loss is more than 15, we can offer a refund OR replacement at your discretion.
As our customer, your satisfaction is our number one priority and we want to ensure you have the best experience possible.
Extra Dogs for Warmth
To ensure that your pups arrive healthy and happy, we use a custom-designed shipping box, adjust ventilation holes, and add heat packs when needed. We also do our best to time our shipping for access to the most airline flights. Another option for providing both warmth and cushion to your order is to add extra male puppies (free of charge since they are waste to us--gotta love #upcycling!). If you do not want us to add extra male pups, please let us know when you are ordering. We recommend checking your local city ordinances before requesting male puppies.
Our Guarantee
Just like other backyard chick hatcheries, Elwood Dog Meat guarantees live delivery of quality baby meat dogs of the breed you ordered and for 48 hours after you receive the dogs. We guarantee all sexed dogs to be 90% accurate as to sex. In producing our baby dogs we have followed established pack control standards, sanitary and disease control standards. We are dealing with live baby dogs and occasionally, despite our mutual efforts, something goes astray.
Our responsibility is to provide healthy, vigorous dogs delivered to you the best way possible. Your responsibility is to start and care for the dogs according to specified standards. If we do our job and through carelessness or neglect you do not do yours, we are not responsible. If we fail to do our job we will refund your money, give you a credit or replace your loss if reported to us within 48 hours after arrival. At no time will our guarantee exceed the original purchase price.
Thank you.

I totally understand where you're coming from! Distractions are my biggest enemy too. What's helped me a bit is creating a 'study bubble.' I use noise-canceling headphones, put my phone on 'do not disturb' in another room, and even use a website blocker on my laptop for certain times. It's not perfect, but it definitely reduces the temptations. Also, setting small, timed goals within my study sessions helps me stay focused. Instead of saying 'study for hours,' I say 'study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break.' It makes it feel less daunting. And honestly, knowing I'm not the only one struggling makes it feel a bit easier. It's so tempting to just search pay someone to take my…
For sure! Thanks for the chat, @anitaachitaeva. Let’s keep sharing knowledge and support each other in this journey! 🐾
Haha, sounds like a good idea! A little gaming can be a nice break from all the heavy topics. But yeah, let’s definitely keep spreading awareness about responsible pet ownership and helping out shelters!
That’s a great point! Also, if anyone is looking for a little distraction while you’re supporting a cause, I found this fun site for games and bonuses: Pin-Up - https://pin-up.pk/bonus/. It’s a nice way to unwind and still be involved with some fun activities.
Absolutely! Supporting local shelters or rescues can make a big difference. Many shelters have programs for educating new pet owners about responsible breeding and adoption. And sometimes, they need donations to help with veterinary costs, especially for sick puppies.
