COVID Operational Status

As the number of questions about our operational status mount, we feel now is a good time to calm the fears of our customer base. We are deemed an essential business by the state of PA as our business is important to the life support of our pets. We are classified by the State of PA as a Nonstore Retail, Electronic Shopping and Mail Order house. We are operational and will continue to ship orders as long as the shipping lanes of UPS, Fedex & USPS continue to operate.
