Before a buyer orders, each listing must show:
- Suitable animal and size, materials and care.
- For pet food: ingredients, feeding guide and shelf life.
#3. Safety, standards and legal rules
- Veterinary medicines and products with treatment claims are not allowed.
- Pet food must be safe and labelled accurately.
- You must hold any licence, registration or approval the law requires for what you sell and keep it up to date. Searchbox may ask to see it.
#4. Delivery and returns in this category
Opened pet food can be excluded from change-of-mind returns if shown before ordering.
#5. Changes, recalls and evidence
Tell Searchbox before you start selling a materially different type of product in this category, and immediately if a product is recalled, found unsafe or the subject of a regulator's request. Stop selling it, help contact affected buyers and keep records of what you sold. If a product also falls under another category's rules, those rules apply as well.
