“Used many times and am very happy”

Brittney G.
10/13/22

I have purchased from them many many times and am very happy. I love that they are helping shelter dogs. I have gotten many free items from them over the past few months when they have offered them. I had one issue with not receiving an order in a timely manner and the customer service was great! It was through email and did take a few days but I understand what's it like to work in a busy business and to have entitled impatient people breathing down your neck all the time over every single tiny little inconvenience, so I don't treat others like that. Most people in this world are just impossible to please and run straight to the internet to write bad reviews over the stupidest things. They took care of my issue very well, not only did the refund me but they also still shipped my order out, plus sent it out again so i got double the products for free! I look for their emails every day to see what is being offered and check out their site all the time. I just love it!

I requested to review how much they donate but they directed me towards their charity partner. This leads me to believe that if you make a "100%" donation, they're doing some funky stuff in between your donation and getting it to their charity partner.

Tip for consumers:
The business doesn’t seem trustworthy!

CBD BACON soft chews - they’re more like cbd vinegar chews, which made my dog extremely sick.

Who doesn't want to help people that are helping dogs? That's the trap! This company may care about dogs but they certainly don't care about humans. They lead you to believe you are helping to feed dogs, but it's at the expense of your happiness. Don't ever expect to speak with someone at this company. They are set up to only respond via email AND they give themselves several days to respond, not hours…precious time that could help you as a consumer to be better informed on your purchasing decisions and lead times. They will bait you into purchasing items that are not even available…tying up your money and stealing your time. They are based on greed alone, don't be fooled by their crafty website as it simply a front. I was told my order shipped, when it arrived, 1 of 5 items that were paid for were included. 13 days later after several emails to find my order, they finally tell me the items ordered were never available to begin with even though their website clearly advertised the opposite. Now I'm waiting on getting money back and only days to find replacement Christmas gifts.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t be fooled. They may claim to be helping dogs but they are not helping humans.

I switched from another well known joint supplement that my dog was doing very well on. The I heart dog supplements have a very strong odor that fills my cabinet. My other dogs won't eat it. Since my dog has been on I heart dogs supplement, she has become much less able to climb 4 stairs to come inside. I feel there are many websites that milk your money with NO REGARD FOR THE ACTUAL ANIMAL! Beware, do your homework. I'm going back to the original supplement that actually helped my dog. I feel bad for my girl that I switched in the first place!

Hi Terese, thank you for your review! I am so sorry to hear that the supplement did not work out for you! We have seen many doggos find support and relief with our Hip and Joint supplements and we ensure that only the best ingredients are included in all of our supplements. We care very deeply about the pets we are supporting with our supplements, just as we care for the pets we donate to with every purchase. It is our mission to help pets live the best life they can! Every doggo is different and every dog's condition is different. You certainly should not be seeing a worsening of her condition in connection to the supplements. We would love to chat with you more about your specific situation and your doggo's condition. It may be that she needs additional support beyond supplements to help with her joints. Please reach out to us at orders@iheartdogs.com so that we can discuss further and provide a resolution for you! Thank you!

This is my go-to place when a loved one of mine has lost their dog. My dogs mean the world to me and I have many close friends that feel the same way. I have used iheartdogs twice now and both friends were blown away by receiving a surprise gift after the loss of their best friend. Plus, iheartdogs give back to shelter animals. I highly recommend sending anyone who loses a pet a gift from this site. It ships fast, it's high quality materials and it helps the owners have something to remember their pets by.

I ordered some items from this website. Received the wrong item. Reached out to them via email and followed their process to request a replacement of my wrong item. It has been many days and I have received 0 response. Emailing them is the only way to get to them... no phone number to call. I am very disappointed in their service.

Purchased a personalized t-shirt that ended up being sized very differently than the size chart and lacking in quality IMO. I emailed customer service, not to request a return, because it's personalized and because this company claims to donate to shelters so I don't want to rescind the donation my purchase supposedly made. I just wanted to leave a review of my purchase. Never heard back from them. I question all the positive reviews of this item, as well as the overall credibility of this company and would not recommend them or purchase from them again. I prefer my donations to be directly made anyway.

I purchased the military camo and stars & stripes wristbands (one each) and am extremely happy with them both. The order arrived in a timely manner and my subsequent question about them being waterproof was quickly answered in detail. I very much appreciate the cause of matching veterans with PTSD to shelter dogs and appreciate the opportunity to support both the veterans and the dogs. Keep up the good work and I hope to again support you with another purchase soon!

I ordered a simple $5 decal in early August. I was notified that it shipped August 15. I contacted several times, only to be told that there was no tracking available and it was only considered lost after 14 days. In early September, I gave up and cancelled. They had no explanation.

I ordered from Chewy.com and received an intact order in 2 days.

I want to support this charity-based business but they make it impossible to do so.

Just send a donation to the ASPCA. It's less frustrating.

As a first time buyer I was extremely disappointed with the bracelet I bought. It was ridiculously big (I am average size - not petite) and one of the charms, a heart, was all discolored. I contacted the company about returning and to inquire about a return label which I learned they don't provide. But most frustrating was that there is no phone number and I had to email them 6 times to get a straight answer, While they refunded me for the item + $4.99 for shipping to me, I still had to buy a padded envelope, stand in line at the PO, and pay for return shipping for a defective item. Shipping back to them (even with the added amount of proof of receipt) was $3.50 - so they are over-charging for shipping. This whole experience cost me time, money, and aggravation, so never again.

Hi Joanne! I'm sorry to hear you experienced frustration regarding your return. It seems like there was some miscommunication - we never ask customers to return a damaged or defective item! It looks like you were advised by our Customer Success Agent to keep or donate the bracelet and you've received a full refund including shipping. We'd love to offer a voucher for use on your next order because of the misunderstanding - someone will reach out to you shortly :)

First time order took forever to arrive so I give them another chance thinking it's a fluke. Can't check or ask status of items until after 14 days Just to find out it was never processed. Waited again another problem don't have the color I ordered. Finally ships you would think after waiting a month they would have the decency to ship it a little faster. Nope still waiting. You know the saying once bitten twice shy never again.

While I am a fan of all things "dog", and the interesting products offered by this site.The low quality of their shirts is something you would expect from China. The shirt I ordered for my daughter was stiff, scratchy and smaller than expected. The printed message on the shirt looked faded and not crisp lettering. I don't want my money back because it allegedly goes to a good cause, but I won't order anything from this site in the future.
