Does it work?
We think so, but don't just take our word for it. Here's some reviews: https://www.facebook.com/pg/PetFriendlyDirect/reviews/
What are your subscription options? You can choose a monthly or annual subscription:
Do I need to sign a subscription contract?
Nope. This isn't like the annoying cable or cell phone companies. You can pay as you go and cancel anytime.
Where can I find your Privacy Policy and Website Terms and Conditions?
Our privacy policy can be found here and our terms and conditions can be found here.
Do you offer multiple pet discounts?
We're always saving you money, so we don't need to offer multiple-pet discounts. We do offer a discount if you choose to pay annually (pay 12 months up front) vs. monthly.
What do you charge for shipping?
Zero! Nada! Nothing! $0! That's right, shipping is included in your monthly subscription cost. No additional fees. Heck of a deal!

SERVICE
How do I pause or cancel my subscription?
While it’s recommended you protect your pets from fleas and ticks throughout the year, you can always pause or cancel your subscription anytime from your customer dashboard here.
How long does it take to receive my order?
We ship, via USPS®, on the first business day (excluding holidays) following your order. USPS® typically takes 3-5 business days to deliver your package. We’ll always send you a shipment confirmation email with tracking details, so you can follow your shipment as it travels to your home.
I applied the product, but it’s not working. My pet still has those pesky fleas! What do I do now?
In most cases our products work fast. Sometimes, if your pet or environment has an active infestation prior to the application, it may take a month or two to break the flea lifecycle. In this case we recommend you treat your environment in addition to your pets. You can always reach one of our veterinary technicians to discuss other options we have to help. You can give them a call at (616) 278-0700 or email them at support@petfriendlydirect.com.

Is it safe for cats?
No, never user Wag’s Advance® for Dogs on cats. PetFriendly Direct® will offer a cat formula very soon. In the meantime, please add your name to our cat product waiting list here.
Wags Advance® for Dogs is waterproof, but it relies on the oils in your dog’s fur and skin to distribute the active ingredients across your pet’s body. For this reason:
We recommend you pick one treatment and use that alone. Give it time to work and consult your veterinarian before considering applying any additional treatments. If you’ve already applied a flea & tick shampoo, but want to switch to this product, then you can bath your dog in a mild degreasing dish soap, such as Dawn® to first remove the other pesticide from your pet.
Oral flea and tick treatments are relatively new. We’ve decided not to offer an oral treatment for three very good reasons:
Oral treatments require the pest to bite before they work. Oral treatments reside in your pet’s bloodstream. In order for them to work, the flea or tick must first bite your pet and receive a blood meal. That bite can lead to other problems such as Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD). Our products are topical, so they are effective without the bite.
Oral treatments recently received a caution from the FDA due to potential neurological side-effects. If you choose to treat your pets with oral treatments, please talk further with your veterinarian to learn more about the potential risks. Our topical products are regulated by the EPA for safety and efficacy and do not have the same neurological side-effect concerns.
Oral treatments require a prescription. This means you need to visit your vet to get a prescription. The cost of the vet visit combined with the higher cost of oral products mean oral flea and tick treatments cost more. Our topical treatments help save you money while offering vet quality protection for your pets.
Our first additional product is a flea and tick treatment for cats. We’ll also we’ll add additional dog and cat flea and tick formulas. We’re working on other treatment indications. Stay tuned!
PETS
What happens if my pet’s weight changes?
That's exactly the magic of this service. You no longer need to buy a multi-dose package. You can change your dog's weight anytime via your online dashboard. We'll ship the correct weight dose every time. Perfect for growing pets!
My pet has sensitive skin, should I use your products?
Don't hesitate to send us a note at support@petfriendlydirect.com or please give one of our vet techs a call at (616) 278-0700 to see if we can answer further questions to help you decide what's best for your pets.
I’ve not received an email confirmation for: my order/shipping/billing?
We’ll always send you a billing confirmation and shipping confirmation via email. If you don’t receive these, please check your SPAM/Junk mail filter and make sure you have info@petfreindlydirect.com added to your contacts.
How do I weigh my pet?
First, step on the bathroom scale alone and record the weight. Second, step on the scale while holding your pet and again record the weight. Finally, subtract the first number from the second, and that’s the weight of your pet. To ensure they receive the right dose of product, it’s important to have an accurate weight for your pet.
I have multiple pets. How do I make sure each gets the right dose?
Here’s the magic of PetFriendly Direct®. If you have a multi-pet household, each pet receives a personalized treatment of product. On the outside of each dose we put your pet’s picture (if you upload one) and name. That way you can easily tell which treatment belongs to which of your pets. Super simple!
