Your Privacy
Small Dog Mall® recognizes the importance of protecting your privacy. We also recognize that when you choose to provide information about yourself, you trust us to act in a responsible manner. We believe this information should only be used to help us provide our customers and account holders with better service. We will never disclose your personal information to anyone, for any reason.

Security
The checkout and account areas of smalldogmall.com are secured using Shopify's SSL technology. This technology is the most advanced security technology available today and ensures that your credit card number and personal data are never sent over the Internet unencrypted. Your credit card info is never stored at Small Dog Mall®. It is securely and directly sent to the credit card processor without ever passing through our store.

Do you ship outside the USA?
Small Dog Mall® is happy to ship orders outside of the USA. However, we do have a foreign Shipping Policy and a flat rate shipping fee of $25.00. Click here please to see Small Dog Mall's Foreign Shipping Policy .

Wholesale
Small Dog Mall® does not wholesale. We are strictly a retailer of Fabulous Things for small dogs (and kitties!). We currently do not sell any of our items wholesale.

What is my pet's size?
All of our collars, harnesses and pet apparel are sized in inches. Since pets come in all shapes and sizes, even if they are the same breed or species, it is impossible to determine your pet's size based on its breed or weight.

While Small Dog Mall® offers merchandise manufactured by many different designers, sadly the sizing for pets has not been standardized like it is for people. Sweaters, Collars or Tees & Tops sizes will vary from designer to designer. We urge you to measure your pet carefully and purchase items based on your pet's measurements rather than their weight or breed. Please refer to our Sizing Information, always in inches, available with each product we sell and choose the correct size for your pet.

We have a downloadable measuring tape. It just takes a few minutes to print, cut out and tape together. Here is the link: Measuring Tape PDF Download

How do I size my pet for a carrier?
We suggest you make your size decision based on the dimensions of the bag and the size of your dog, as the weight capacity listed for each carrier is only meant to be used as a general guideline. Airlines require that your dog be able to stand up and turn around in the carrier so keep that in mind as well.

How do I size my pet for a bed?
We suggest you measure your pet while its taking a snooze and add approximately 10 inches to determine the ideal bed length. As you might imagine, a cramped bed would be considered uncomfortable, so if in doubt, we recommend ordering the next size up based on your pet's measurements — in this case, more is more.

Any sizing questions can be directed to customer service at Robin@smalldogmall.com. Please understand that we can only offer guidance. Since it is impossible for us to determine your pet's size without actually seeing your pet, we will not guarantee our sizing recommendations.

What is your exchange/return policy?
This is our policy: we simply want you to be happy. That said, if any Small Dog Mall® website purchase fails to meet your expectations, simply return your merchandise to us in its original and unused condition along with any item tags and/or product packaging within 30 days of receipt for a full merchandise exchange or refund.

Contact Robin@smalldogmall.com or talk/text 310 399 7190 and let her know what you are returning and we will issue return postage via email. Please don't forget to include in your return package your order summary — (it is in the address window on the outside of your package).

"It doesn't fit" is the number one reason for returns at smalldogmall.com. It is NEVER a good idea to guess your dog's collar or tee/sweater size — 9 times out of 10, you are wrong. We do our best to give you comprehensive sizing information for each product we sell, in an attempt to make ordering goof-proof. So please take the time to measure your pet before you purchase a size sensitive item. You will be glad you did.

Holiday Exchange Policy
Any Holiday Gift purchased between November 15 and December 24 from smalldogmall.com may be exchanged through January 31. Don't forget to include your order summary in the return package (it is in the address window on the outside of your package).
