I always had excellent service from Activehound and I'm really sorry they have closed down. I was looking forward to may years supply of Chukkit balls and other treats for my furry friend Alfie.

Taken our money and not sent goods
Ordered a couple of dog beds on the 8th January. They have taken the money but we haven’t received the beds. We have sent numerous emails, and called multiple times but are yet to hear where our beds are.....

I ordered through an offer on facebook Yak chews order £23 buy 2 get 3rd free. receipt said 2-3 days, when I called to chase order I was told that it had not been send , when I questioned there managing expectations, I was told I could cancel, which I didnt want to do. He then said he was cancelling my order and hung up. I called back they hung up, then I called again and they remained silent, I asked them to not cancel my order and I apologised but no response. Their campaign may be successful and profitable, however when business is slow customer service is crucial. Disappointed as I looked forward to dealing with a small independent business.
I saw your reply I was not abusive I never swore or anything, yes I expressed displeasure at not getting a notification email saying there was a delay,(i got one saying you were a lovely family ran business, which I thought very nice) but at no point did I ask or expect to have my order cancelled. If you cannot accept a customer being annoyed (not abusive) its very poor. I didn't see you address the hanging very unprofessional.

I would highly recommend Active Hound …
I would highly recommend Active Hound to anyone who expects excellent customer service. I loved the experience of buying a Hurtta harness for my Labrador puppy from Active Hound. As soon as I emailed Zak (at the company) I had a reply within minutes. I placed the order and it arrived the next day. The little quirky additional touches to the email address and supporting paperwork brought a little smile to my face. I would highly recommend Active Hound to anyone and I will be telling all of our dog walking friends. An excellent level of customer service and I will be a repeat customer.
