Minimum order requirements
The minimum order requirement for our raw food is 6kg; this applies to our standard delivery areas, a service applicable to most areas of the UK.
For non-standard delivery areas - Northern Ireland, The Highlands, Parts of Northern Scotland and Islands, a 25kg minimum order is required and additional weight can only be ordered in multiples of 25kg (e.g 50kg, 75kg, 100kg).
When will I receive my order?
On placing your order, you will be asked to select a delivery date.
If you live within our standard delivery areas (see below for locations outside of this), we endeavour to process and dispatch all raw food orders placed before 12 noon, Monday to Thursday for next day delivery. During extremely busy periods, orders may be dispatched the following day.
*Please note we ‘aim’ for next day delivery but cannot ‘guarantee’ next day delivery.
Orders received after 12 noon will be processed the next day. Any orders received Friday, Saturday or Sunday will be dispatched on a Monday (except for bank holidays when orders will be dispatched on Tuesdays).
ProDog Treats, Supplements and other non-frozen items, are shipped using Royal Mail, and will take between 3-5 working days to arrive. These items are dispatched Monday to Friday only.
Shipping considerations
We ship to most locations in the UK; however, Northern Ireland, the Islands and Highlands of Scotland, parts of Northern Scotland, the Isle of Man, Scilly Isles and Channels Islands are not within our standard shipping areas. Therefore, delivery to these locations can be restricted, will take longer, and a minimum order of 25kg is required.
You will receive a direct notification from our courier company to confirm delivery on the day we dispatch your order. You will also receive a message on the delivery day, providing a time slot. If this is not received, contact us via our website contact link to enquire when to expect your order.
If we anticipate a delay with your delivery, we will aim to contact you as soon as possible to advise.

Do I have to be in to receive my order?
Yes, our food is perishable; therefore, placing it into a freezer as soon as possible is advisable.
If you can't be home to accept delivery, you can nominate (via the courier’s app) to leave with a neighbour. The parcel will need to be refrigerated, or in a cool place and out of direct sunlight, until you collect it from them.
If you instruct the courier to leave your goods in a safe place or with a neighbour, you are responsible for the condition you receive them in.
How does the food arrive?
The food arrives in a sturdy, highly durable box-within-a-box packaging, carefully packed with cooling ice packs. Each box is made with honeycomb cardboard padding, thick, high-grade outer casing, and inner coating for added insulation that prevents moisture from weakening the cardboard.
Our robust delivery boxes ensure all your dog's ProDog favourites arrive safe and sound on your doorstep. For advice on recycling our packaging, read 'Our Packaging Promise'.

How are your delivery charges calculated?
Our delivery charges are calculated to incorporate the costs for shipping 'and' handling, as opposed to a basic courier charge for delivery alone.
To explain further, see below a breakdown of the components that make up our Shipping & Handling charge.
ProDog’s delivery charge is inclusive of 4 separate elements; VAT, Courier Charges, Labour and Handling.
VAT
ProDog's shipping charge is inclusive of VAT. When comparing our shipping charges with other courier charges, it is essential to check whether the costs being reviewed include or exclude VAT. Please note the government gets the VAT portion; ProDog doesn't.
Courier charges
ProDog has a baseline courier charge agreement, which is subject to fluctuation in surcharges. These surcharges include fuel prices, and driver wages, both of which vary from month to month.
Of course, we cannot vary our shipping rates for our customers in the same way, so we gauge an average level and set it for 12 months. Any variations in courier supplements and surcharges above the average rate we have set are swallowed as a loss by us.
Packaging
Due to the perishable nature of our products, we have a duty to ensure the contents are packaged in such a way that they do not deteriorate during transit. In the case of frozen goods, and in addition to good quality sturdy cardboard boxes, we include insulation, all of which adds to the overall costs.
Labour
Part of 'handling' is the operational aspect of paying the staff who pack the boxes. When wages are increased, so is the cost of handling. This has to be taken into account when calculating delivery charges.
Whilst we appreciate that any uplift in pricing is unwelcome news, as a company, we always try our utmost to minimise the impact on our customers. With all pricing changes, we conduct thorough comparisons with many of our competitors, and as such, we are confident our pricing is fair and transparent.
