General Questions

Where are you located? Do you have a retail store?

We are located in Austin Texas. As of right now we do not have a retail store, but local customers can call or email to schedule a pickup at our office/warehouse.


Where do you ship to? We ship anywhere in the United States via UPS and USPS. All shipping rates are calculated at checkout and estimated delivery dates are displayed. We try our very best to ship your order out the same day it is placed if received by 12:00 pm CST so you can enjoy your purchase at the soonest possible date.


Is my information secure on your website? Yes. The Dog Outdoors uses industry standard SSL encrypting provided by Shopify to keep all of your data secure. We hate SPAM as much as you, so rest assured that we would never distribute any of your information to anyone.

What if I need to make a return or exchange?

You can always contact us for any return questions at support@thedogoutdoors.com 

Hassle-Free Returns and Exchanges

Exchanges:

In the chance that you need to exchange an item, please follow the steps below. We know how frustrating getting the wrong sized item can be, so we have implemented one of the fastest and easiest exchange programs out there.

You should find a return/exchange form on the back of the packing slip included in your order. Follow the simple instructions on the back and include the form in the package being sent back. If you did not receive the form in your order you can print it here. Just make sure to include the name the order was placed under and phone number or email address for identification.

As soon as your returned package arrives back to us, we will issue a full refund (including your original shipping cost if you note that you are re-ordering).

*At this time, we recommend that you send items back for a refund and place a new order if an exchange is needed for the fastest turnaround time. 

Our return address:

The Dog Outdoors
Attn: Returns
11301 Bastogne Loop
Austin, TX 78739

Returns for refund:

**Keep in mind that you may be able to print return shipping labels from the post office at home by visiting USPS.com and can also schedule a pickup.

Please make all returns within 30 days of the purchase date. The item must be unused (trying an apparel item on your dog for size would not be considered used) with all packaging intact for a full refund of the product price. We are very reasonable and will work with you to ensure you are happy. Refunds will be issued directly to the credit card or payment method used for your order. We try our best to issue the refund within 3 business days of receiving your return. Please contact us with any questions.

Manufacturer Defects:

*In the extremely unlikely chance you receive a defective item please refer to the following policy. If there is a manufacturer defect on any item you will have the option of a full refund or immediate exchange. The Dog Outdoors will promptly refund or exchange your defective item within 60 days of purchase on all items we carry. After 60 days the manufacturer warranty will take affect, but we will still handle refunds or exchanges for you making this process as hassle-free as possible.

What is the fastest way to get my questions answered?

Both my wife and I are proud to offer same day shipping on most orders as long as the order is made by 12 p.m. CST. In order to offer this service we are sometimes not able to answer phones during very busy parts of the day. We do frequently check email as we process orders and even after hours and on weekends. If you have a question about any of our products or a current order with us, please shoot us an email at support@thedogoutdoors.com and we will get back to you shortly with a detailed response to your question. If you need to reach us by phone please call (512) 553-1880‬. We are trying to catch up with growth as quickly as possible. Thank you for supporting our mom and pop shop!
