Products & Shopping
1.What products does AtouPet offer?
AtouPet offers practical travel and home essentials for dogs, cats, and small pets, including:
- Pet carriers and backpacks;
- Dog car seats and booster seats;
- Car seat covers and safety restraints;
- Harnesses and leashes;
- Sling and front carriers;
- Soft recovery collars; and
- Travel bundles and accessories.
Product availability may vary by country and season.
2.Are AtouPet products suitable for both dogs and cats?
Some products are designed specifically for dogs or cats, while others can be used by both.
Check the product title, description, size chart, weight limit, and usage instructions before ordering.
3.How do I know whether a product will fit my pet?
Measure your pet and compare the measurements with the size chart on the individual product page.
Depending on the product, you may need to measure:
- Neck circumference;
- Chest girth;
- Back or body length;
- Sitting height;
- Body width; and
- Weight.
Do not select a size based only on breed, age, or weight. Pets of the same breed or weight can have different body proportions.
4.What should I do if my pet is between sizes?
For adjustable products, the larger size often provides more adjustment room. However, harnesses and escape-resistant products must still fit securely enough to prevent slipping out.
Use:
- Chest girth as the primary measurement for harnesses;
- Internal dimensions for carriers and car seats; and
- Neck circumference and nose length for recovery collars.
Contact us before ordering if you are unsure.
5.Can AtouPet help me select a size?
Yes. Email support@atoupet.com with:
- The product name or link;
- Your pet’s breed;
- Your pet’s weight;
- Neck circumference;
- Chest girth;
- Body or back length; and
- A standing side-view photo, if helpful.
Our sizing suggestions are based on the information you provide but cannot guarantee a perfect fit.
6.Are product colors exactly the same as shown online?
We try to display product colors accurately. However, slight differences may occur because of lighting, photography, screen settings, or production batches.
Pet Carriers & Travel Products
7.How do I choose the right pet carrier?
Compare your pet’s length, height, body width, and weight with the carrier’s internal dimensions and stated weight limit.
Your pet should have enough room to sit and lie down comfortably. Where the carrier design allows, your pet should also be able to turn around.
Do not select a carrier using weight alone.
8.Are AtouPet carriers airline approved?
Some carriers are designed with common airline cabin requirements in mind, but no carrier can be guaranteed for every flight.
Airline rules vary by:
- Airline;
- Aircraft;
- Route;
- Cabin class;
- Pet type; and
- Combined pet and carrier weight.
Always contact your airline before departure and confirm its current carrier dimensions, pet policies, documentation, and fees.
9.Can I attach a carrier safety tether to my pet’s collar?
No. Attach an internal safety tether to a properly fitted harness, not directly to a collar.
Attaching a tether to a collar may place dangerous pressure on your pet’s neck.
10.Are pet backpacks and slings suitable for long trips?
Suitability depends on the product, your pet’s size, temperature, trip length, and comfort level.
Allow regular breaks, monitor ventilation, and never leave your pet unattended inside a carrier. Some sling carriers are intended for short outings rather than extended travel.
11.Do AtouPet car seats or seat belts guarantee protection in a collision?
No pet travel product can eliminate all risks during sudden stops or collisions.
Unless a product page specifically states otherwise, do not assume a product has been crash-tested or certified by an independent safety organization.
Always:
- Follow the installation instructions;
- Use an appropriately fitted harness;
- Never attach a car restraint directly to a collar;
- Check all straps before driving; and
- Keep your pet in the rear seating area where appropriate.
12.Will a dog car seat fit every vehicle?
Vehicle seat dimensions, headrests, seat-belt systems, and center consoles vary.
Check the product dimensions and installation method against your vehicle before ordering. Contact us if you are unsure about compatibility.
Harnesses & Recovery Products
13.How should a harness fit?
A harness should fit securely without restricting natural movement or breathing.
You should generally be able to fit approximately two fingers between the harness and your pet. Check that your pet cannot back out or slip through the straps.
Recheck the fit regularly, especially for growing pets or after weight changes.
14.Is an escape-resistant harness completely escape-proof?
No harness can guarantee that every pet will never escape.
Correct sizing, adjustment, supervision, and regular fit checks are essential. Replace the harness if straps, buckles, or connection points become worn or damaged.
15.How do I choose a recovery collar?
Measure:
- Your pet’s neck circumference; and
- The distance from the neck to the end of the nose.
The collar should fit securely without restricting breathing or swallowing. It should extend far enough to reduce access to the affected area.
Soft recovery collars may not be suitable for every injury or surgical site. Consult your veterinarian if you are unsure.
16.Are recovery collars a substitute for veterinary care?
No. Recovery collars may help reduce licking, biting, or scratching, but they do not diagnose or treat a medical condition.
Follow your veterinarian’s instructions and contact a veterinary professional if your pet appears unwell or can still reach the affected area.
Product Care
17.How should I clean my AtouPet product?
Cleaning instructions vary by product and material. Always follow the care instructions on the product page or label.
General recommendations include:
- Remove loose pet hair before cleaning;
- Use mild detergent;
- Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals;
- Hand wash when machine washing is not specifically permitted; and
- Allow the product to dry completely before use.
Incorrect washing may damage padding, coatings, buckles, straps, or structural components.
18.Can I use a damaged product?
Do not use a product if you notice:
- Torn fabric;
- Loose stitching;
- Cracked buckles;
- Damaged zippers;
- Frayed straps;
- Deformed support structures; or
- Loose connection points.
Inspect travel and restraint products before every use.
Orders & Payments
19.What payment methods do you accept?
Available payment methods are displayed during checkout and may include major credit cards and supported digital payment services.

Your bank or payment provider may apply currency conversion or international transaction fees. These fees are determined by the payment provider and are not controlled by AtouPet.
22.How do I know if my order was successful?
After checkout, you should receive an order confirmation email containing your order number and purchase details.

24.Can I combine two separate orders?
We cannot guarantee that separately placed orders can be combined.
If both orders have not entered processing, contact us immediately. Combining orders may not always be possible because products can ship from different fulfillment locations.
25.Why was my order shipped in multiple packages?
Products may ship separately because of size, availability, or fulfillment location.
You may receive multiple tracking numbers, and the packages may arrive on different dates. You will not be charged additional shipping solely because we divided the shipment.

Do not send returns to our company contact address or the sender address printed on the original parcel.

44.Can I return a product my pet has used?
