Section 01

Agreement to Terms

By accessing theharvestdog.com or placing an order with Harvest Hounds, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services. These Terms apply to all visitors, customers, and subscribers.

Section 02

Products & Ordering

Product Description

Harvest Hounds sells fresh, certified organic, small-batch dog food made in Clovis, California. All products are perishable and must be refrigerated upon receipt. Shelf life is approximately 5 days refrigerated or 3 months frozen.

Orders

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our discretion. You will receive an email confirmation when your order is placed and when it ships.

Subscriptions

Subscription plans automatically renew on your chosen delivery schedule. You may pause, skip, swap flavors, or cancel your subscription at any time through your account dashboard with no cancellation fees. Changes made after your order has entered processing may apply to the next delivery cycle.

Pricing

Prices are listed in U.S. dollars and are subject to change. Tax is calculated at the applicable California rate. Free shipping applies to orders over $60. Subscription pricing reflects a 15% discount from standard rates.

Section 03

No-Return Policy & Our Make-It-Right Guarantee

Why no returns?

Because our products are fresh, perishable, human-grade dog food, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges for health and food safety reasons. Once a package leaves our kitchen, we cannot resell, restock, or accept it back under any circumstances.

We understand this may feel strict — that's exactly why we back every single order with our unconditional Make-It-Right Guarantee:

🐾

The Make-It-Right Guarantee

We'll always make it right — no questions asked.

  • Your dog didn't love the food? We'll make it right.
  • Your order arrived damaged, leaking, or with packaging issues? We'll make it right.
  • Your package was delayed and food quality was compromised? We'll make it right.
  • You received the wrong item? We'll make it right.
  • Something just wasn't what you expected? Contact us — we'll make it right.

"Making it right" may mean a full refund, a replacement shipment, a store credit, or a future discount — whatever resolves your concern fairly. We will always work with you to find a solution. Email Amy@TheHarvestDog.com with your order number and we'll respond within 1 business day.

This guarantee does not apply to orders where incorrect delivery information was provided by the customer, or to claims made more than 7 days after the confirmed delivery date.

Section 04

Shipping & Delivery

  • We ship within the contiguous United States only.
  • Orders are shipped in insulated packaging with ice packs to maintain freshness.
  • We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers, weather, or incorrect addresses provided by the customer.
  • If a package is undeliverable and returned, we will contact you to arrange re-shipment at the carrier's applicable rate.
  • Delivery timeframes are estimates only and are not guaranteed.

Section 05

Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use. We reserve the right to terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

Section 06

Payments

We accept payment via Stripe (credit/debit cards) and PayPal. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the amount of your order including applicable taxes and shipping. All transactions are encrypted and processed securely. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.

Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved first through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Fresno County, California, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
