What Zooplus is known for

Zooplus stands out for a very broad range of pet food brands and pack sizes — everything from everyday supermarket brands to vet/diet lines and large economy bags. You’ll also find accessories across categories (toys, beds, grooming) and smaller species (fish, birds, small mammals). That makes it a go-to when you need a brand or bag size your local store doesn’t stock.

How to get the best price

Watch the weekly 'Top Offers' and clearance sections, buy larger pack sizes, and use the site’s recurring-order option to shave the price on staples. Signing up to email alerts surfaces limited-time brand events. Zooplus rarely price-matches competitors, so timing promos and using subscription discounts are the most reliable ways to save.

Shipping, returns and trust

Orders ship with tracked carriers and delivery times for stocked items are typically a few business days in Ireland. EU consumer rules give a 14-day right to cancel non-perishable purchases; opened or perishable food is often non-returnable for hygiene reasons. Zooplus is an established European retailer (since 1999) with standard online buyer protections and customer service channels for damaged or wrong items.

FAQ

Does Zooplus match competitor prices?

Zooplus does not commonly publish a broad price‑match policy. Most savings come from weekly promotions, clearance items and subscription discounts rather than matching local store prices.

When are the best times to shop for discounts?

Check the 'Top Offers' and clearance pages regularly — Zooplus runs weekly deals and periodic brand events. Stocking up during those windows or buying larger pack sizes gives the best per‑kg value.

How do returns and refunds work for pet food?

EU distance‑selling rules give you 14 days to cancel non-perishable orders, but opened or perishable food is usually excluded for hygiene reasons. For damaged or incorrect items contact customer service for replacement or refund.
