Live Animal / Fish Guarantee

Live animals and fish must be purchased at a store.

Live Animal / Fish Purchase Agreement:

  • Animals / fish cannot be put ‘on hold.’
  • Animals / fish must be taken home at time of purchase.
  • We do not price match livestock.
  • Pet Food Center will not knowingly sell sick or pregnant animals / fish.
  • Employees are not able to guarantee gender.
  • Pet Food Center reserves the right to deny sales & guarantees on all live animals / fish.

  • Pet Food Center is not responsible for any Customer veterinarian bills.

 

If a guaranteed animal becomes ill once in your home, contact the Animal Department Manager to schedule a return or exchange of the animal. The animal must be returned along with the original receipt within the guaranteed dates (below). If you do not wish to return or exchange an ill animal, the expense of veterinary visits is your responsibility. The Store/Animal Department Manager may need to contact our Corporate Animal Director if there are extenuating circumstances.

 

 

Live Animal / Fish Guarantee Policy: 

 

Pet Food Center will exchange or provide same-day in-store-credit for MOST˚ healthy, ill, or deceased animals, and MOST˚ deceased fish within specified guaranteed dates. We are unable to exchange live fish. Deceased animals / fish must be returned the day they die. Guarantees may vary or be denied during or after any purchased based on the cost, type of animal, habitat setups, diet, environment, and individual circumstances.

 

˚ Some animals / fish do not qualify for guarantees.  Refer to Animal / Fish Specifics below.

 

 

All “Guaranteed” animal / fish returns must include:

  • Said animal / fish body.
  • A receipt reflecting range of guaranteed date.
  • A fish tank water sample. The sample must pass Pet Food Center quality tests. The water sample must be separate from the dead fish.

The guarantee is void:

  • In plural animal situations that result in death, illness, or injury in the home. (When a second animal is involved.)
  • If death, illness, or injury was due to an accident or environmental hazard in the home.
  • If the Customer refuses Pet Food Center animal education and refuses to sign the Live Stock Inventory Terms and Agreements document.

 

All qualifying animal/fish returns have a ONE-TIME replacement guarantee. This means the new replacement does NOT have a new guarantee. All live animal/fish purchases have a NO CASH BACK policy. Only a one-time exchange of equal or lesser value can be made in the form of livestock or product. This must take place at the time of the return and cannot be given in the form of a gift card.

Animal / Fish Specifics:

 

Fresh Water Fish

Twenty-one (21) day guarantee if purchase price is $19.99 or less on MOST fish. All sales final & no guarantees if purchase price exceeds $20. Discounted fish that were originally $20.00 and up will NOT carry a guarantee. Customers must have the receipt, fish, and a separate water sample that passes water testing. Fish in bowls and/or in non-filtered systems, with lack of heat sources or lack of water treatments will NOT be guaranteed.

 

Pet Food Center follows the 2 Day – 2 Week – 2 Month rule for freshwater fish guarantees.

 

  • New aquariums must be set up for a minimum of 2 Days* before adding live fish*.
  • New water tanks must have live fish in them for 2 Weeks before we offer any guarantees.
  • New water systems can take up to 2 Months before they are considered fully cycled.

 

Customers that do not follow the 2 Day – 2 Week – 2 Month rule may be denied the guarantee.

 

*Waiting 2 Days before adding fish to a new aquarium allows the water to reach the proper temperature, water treatments to neutralize, and chemical levels and filtration systems to cycle.  Be sure to test water before adding fish.

 

It is very important to only add a few fish the first go-around due to the lack of nitrifying bacteria.

 

We also recommend waiting 6 weeks before adding bottom feeders such as Plecos, Corys, Snails, Sharks, or Catfish.

 

Betas and Pond Fish

Three (3) day guarantee if purchase price is $19.99 or less on MOST. All sales final & no guarantees if purchase price exceeds $20.

Special Orders

Customers may wish to order animal/fish that we do not or currently do not carry.  These orders may be subject to a ‘no guarantee’ or a three (3) day guarantee depending upon the guidelines noted above, the cost and vulnerability of the animal/fish.  Guarantees are up to the discretion of the Animal Department Manager. Regularly stocked animal/fish that are simply out of stock are not considered to be special order and carry the usual guarantee according to the guidelines above.
