SHIPPING

How long will my order take to arrive?

Our regular orders could take about 3-5 business days to process, meaning they will be hand-packed within 5-7 business days.  Packages are then shipped using USPS or UPS from Los Angeles, CA and could take up to an additional 3-6 business days in transit.

Cake orders require at least 10 business days to be delivered.

*Please note that during Holidays you may experience more delays in shipping due to a higher volume of orders needing to be processed. Please place your order at least 10 business days (Monday through Friday) before the Holiday to guarantee having your order in time. 

*The Dog Bakery is not responsible for delivery delays caused by USPS, UPS or unforeseen circumstances, such as extreme weather.  Unreceived packages marked “delivered” must be taken up with the carrier.

How much should I feed my dog?

Our cakes and goodies are meant to be served as treats, and should not be considered a meal replacement.  We use wholesome ingredients that most dogs tolerate very well.  If your pup has a sensitive tummy, we recommend starting small!
