Drop ship items are often made to order, so they may take an extra week or so. All drop ship products are noted on the product page along with delivery times from the manufacturer. (Return to top)

How safe are PetEdge products?

For over 50 years, PetEdge has been dedicated to building your pet-care business. As part of that commitment, the products we carry, from toys to treats to cages and pens to grooming supplies to tools and equipment, receive intensive quality and safety testing. It is our standard policy to analyze every prospective product from every possible angle before it can be considered for inclusion in PetEdge catalogs or on our website.

We regularly review Federal and State requirements to make sure our testing standards conform to or exceed the most current mandated regulations. We require our suppliers—both foreign and domestic—to submit documentation from independent testing laboratories that demonstrate that their products conform to these standards. Then, we follow up with rigorous in-warehouse testing systems to confirm that our high standards have been met. As always, all of us at PetEdge are here to support you in your efforts to provide safe and quality pet products. (Return to top)
