Frequently asked questions

As an online webshop dedicated to canine athletics accessories, Need Some Sun is committed to providing top-quality products for your furry friends. We've gathered some of the most common inquiries to help you navigate our store and find exactly what you need.

What are your shipping options and costs?

How much is shipping?

We offer flat-rate shipping across Canada, so whether you're ordering one tug or filling your cart, your shipping cost stays the same.

  • Ontario: $16 flat-rate
  • All other Canadian provinces and territories: $20 flat-rate

Since we're located in Ontario, we're able to offer a lower local shipping rate within the province.

 


 

Can I order with a friend to save on shipping?

Absolutely! We encourage it.

Since our shipping is flat-rate, many customers choose to place one larger order and split the cost with friends. The only requirement is that the order is placed under a single customer account and shipped to one address.

 


 

How do you ship orders?

We only ship using expedited, tracked, and insured shipping services.

We never use untracked economy or letter mail options because we want your order to arrive quickly and safely.

 


 

Do you ship outside of Canada?

Yes! While international shipping isn't currently available through our website, we'd be happy to help.

Simply email julia@needsomesun.com with what you'd like to order and where you're located, and we'll provide a shipping quote.

 


 

Why can't I select shipping on some products?

Some items are created specifically for event pickup, fundraisers, or club orders, so shipping may be disabled on those products.

If you'd prefer to have one of these items shipped, just email julia@needsomesun.com and we'll be happy to provide a shipping quote whenever possible.

Do you offer wholesale pricing?

Yes! We love partnering with retailers, training facilities, clubs, and other businesses that want to carry Need Some Sun products.

If you're interested in becoming a Need Some Sun wholesale partner, please contact Julia at julia@needsomesun.com to request our wholesale application and information package.

We'll be happy to answer your questions and help you determine if our wholesale program is the right fit for your business.

Where are your products made?

Our Products

Where are Need Some Sun toys made?

Every Need Some Sun toy is proudly handmade in our workshop just outside London, Ontario, Canada.

We design, sew, assemble, and inspect each toy ourselves because quality matters.

 


 

Where do your materials come from?

We source our materials from around the world to find the best products available, but whenever possible we choose Canadian suppliers first.

For our real fur products, we primarily work with Canadian Indigenous suppliers and local farmers, allowing us to support Canadian communities while making use of responsibly sourced natural materials.

Whenever there's a Canadian option available that meets our standards, that's the one we'll choose.

What if my order arrives damaged or there's a problem?

We stand behind what we make.

What is your return policy?

We want you and your dog to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If you're not happy for any reason, please contact our customer service team within 30 days of purchase.
