Why Choose WhiteDogBone For Your Pet Needs?
At WhiteDogBone, our mission is two-fold; we aim to provide owners with high-quality foods that promote a healthy and fulfilling life for their pet while also creating a business environment where family values are championed. Our family purchased WhiteDogBone when Chuck (current owner) lost his job at 51 and struggled to compete in the job market. As we evaluated our future, we decided to take the biggest risk of our lives and become business owners. Since purchasing WhiteDogBone in 1994 the business has grown from simply being a stand at shows to an online pet store. Known as the store that is ‘loved by families and trusted by champions’, our customer service and superior brand offerings make our small business second to none. In addition, our unique focus on family gives our team the freedom to adjust to their personal needs. From school activities to caring for loved ones, our furry and non-furry families always come first.

Refund Policy
Pet Happiness Guarantee:
WhiteDogBone offers a Pet Happiness Guarantee on products that are purchased from our store. If you or your pet are not satisfied with a product purchased at whitedogbone.com, we will refund, replace and exchange the product in question. However, we do not guarantee that your pet will not destroy any toy or chew as nothing is indestructible unless stated by the manufacturer. We are happy to make suggestions on toys and chews, but each dog's chewing capability is different.
Return/Refund:
We will gladly accept the return of dry goods that are unopened and re-sellable for up to 30 days from the date of purchase. The customer is responsible for return shipping fees unless an error was made by WhiteDogBone. Please email us at support@whitedogbone.com so we can process a return label.
Returns will not be accepted on frozen products due to the nature of the product and the inability to ship it without a refrigerant.
