Standard Delivery
When will my order arrive?
We are working on getting your orders our daily however Australia Post is experiencing some delays due to a reduction in freight capacity and an increase in parcel volumes. You can continue to check the status of your order through your tracking number which is emailed to you once you've placed your order. Some orders may be split into multiple deliveries which can be tracked via the same tracking number to provide you a real-time estimated delivery date. We recommend allowing additional time for orders to arrive when ordering food for your pet.
For more information, please refer to Australia Post Updates here. We thank you for your patience during these times.
