Most Walmart locations have pet departments that sell everything from food to doorknobs to dog houses.
The following is the conclusion I’ve come to regarding Walmart’s return policy for customers who buy a Walmart pet food item only to discover later that their pet doesn’t like it at all.
Do You Have to Have Your Receipt?
The process for returning items will be much simpler if you have your receipt. Even so, you can still return the food if you don’t have your receipt. Simply show some identification, and you might only be eligible for a store credit rather than a refund.
Walmart’s Pet Food Return Policy
To begin with, you should be aware that Walmart’s return policy for dog food is the same as its return policy for any other product. The food can be returned within 14 days for a full refund. However, there are some restrictions. The food must be unopened and in its original packaging. You can only get a part-refund or store credit if you’ve already opened the food or the packaging is harmed.
How Long Do You Have To Return Pet Food To Walmart?
Pet food can be returned to Walmart within 90 days of the original purchase date because it is a non-perishable item.
Your original receipt’s date of purchase serves as the basis for this 90-day return policy, but if you’ve lost your receipt, the customer service desk can still look up the purchase date and barcode on your behalf.
Additionally, if the pet food is from WalmartPetRx. com, you have up to 30 days from the purchase date to return or exchange the item in the original packaging or with packaging that is still in new condition.
