Returns Policy

We endeavour to make your experience with Pet Chemist a positive one and deliver the best possible service to our customers. As such, we have a fair returns policy to deal with situations where the products you ordered were not what you expected, not in the expected condition, or your order was not accepted by Pet Chemist.


Please note that except where your order was not accepted by Pet Chemist, no credits or refunds for products supplied can be given without first speaking with a Pet Chemist representative. We must issue you a return number and return address before you can send back any items. If you send back any items without the correct address and return number, a refund may not be able to be given.

Returns of Prescription Medication

Several types of goods that either we sell or which are supplied by the dispensing pharmacist are either cannot be returned or are not legally allowed to be returned, including some health and personal care items. Prescription and other medications cannot be returned in compliance with state legislation.


By law prescription medication cannot be re-sold after they have left the pharmacy premises. As such, refunds are not available for unused medicines once they have been supplied by the pharmacist and dispatched. Please take this into consideration when deciding on the quantity of medication to order, as orders of medication cannot be cancelled once they have been supplied by the pharmacist and dispatched.
