FAQ Lists

We provide repacking services for a nominal fee of S$1.00. Repacking is only applicable for dry pet food, excluding freeze dried/air dried/dehydrated food and hay. You may request for this service at the individual product page.

NOTE: Repacking is an opt-in value-added service available to customers at their own discretion. Requesting for repacking services means that you’re agreeable to the following terms and conditions:

1. Repacked products are void of any exchange, refund or return claim.
2. While we maintain high hygiene practices during our repacking process, The Online Pet Store will not be held liable in the event should worms, bugs, or mold is found in repacked food after purchase.

We use high quality, clear thermoplastic (PPE) to repack your pet food. Repacked packagings are double sealed via heat sealing (not vacuumed sealed). While we ensure that minimal air is trapped within the packaging during the sealing process, it is important to note that plastic bags used to repack the food are not 100% guaranteed to be non-permeable by air.

Customers will receive the original packaging alongside your repacked food for expiry date and content reference.

How can I keep my repacked food fresh?
We strongly encourage customers to invest in an airtight container to store your repacked food to ensure freshness! Repacked food should also be stored in cool, dry places away from direct sunlight for optimal shelf life.

Majority of the products listed on our web store are restocked upon order to ensure the freshness of the product we deliver.

In the event that an item is out of stock, we will be in touch immediately to advise on estimated waiting time. We are happy to provide similar product alternatives for your consideration, or even process a refund at your request.
