We strive to minimize dented cans during the shipping process including shipping all our case products with a cardboard protector and right-sized, durable shipping boxes. However, there are occasions where you may receive a dented or imperfect can or cans. Cans with minor dents (or imperfections) and all seals intact do not compromise the food and do not necessarily require replacement. As per guidance by the Canned Food Alliance small dents do not affect the contents of the can as long as the can does not leak (and the seal is not broken). If the can is leaking, however the food should not be used. If you receive a dented can that is broken, food is exposed or the can is leaking, please contact us so we can happily assist you further. We reserve the right to request images of any damage.

AUTO-SHIP & SAVE SUBSCRIPTION TERMS UPDATE
This is an update to the terms & conditions for our auto-ship & save subscription orders.
Currently, when we are out of stock of an item, our subscription system will cause your entire order to not process the charge, meaning your shipment is being delayed for items we currently have in stock because the out of stock items are preventing your credit card from charging.
As of April 19, 2024 we are updating our terms & conditions such that by agreeing that if you sign up for our auto-ship & save program you give identity Pet Nutrition the authority to push items we are out of stock on to your next charge date so that items we have in stock are processed according to your regular charge schedule.
This means identity Pet Nutrition will automatically adjust your subscription to charge for items we have in stock (or which may be out of stock) so that they ship without further delay & we will reschedule out of stock items to your next charge date to avoid any disruption if necessary.
Auto-ship & save subscription orders are not eligible for return or refund. Auto-ship orders which ship because of the customers failure to cancel or update their subscription are not eligible for return. Once orders are placed they cannot be modified or cancelled and are subject to our return policy which provides the customer is responsible for paying a 10% re-stocking/cancellation fee and return shipping costs. identity reserves the right to charge a $15 fee when an exception is made for consumers who fail to update their subscription and request the product to be removed from shipping.
Please note: Unlike some subscription programs, our auto-ship & save subscription program does not send you more product until we are able to successfully charge your credit card to confirm your order. If your credit card fails to be charged, this may result in a delay of shipment for your order. We send emails 2-3 days in advance ahead of a credit card charge so you can make any changes or updates to your subscription, if necessary, ahead of the charge (order) date. Subscription orders cannot be cancelled once the order charges and are subject to our normal shipping & return policies at https://www.identitypet.com/pages/return-shipping-policy.
