★ Production & Shipping times

Many items that you may order will be made from scratch at the time you place your order. This is due to the fact that we are a small company with limited staff, so it is not always possible to keep every product in every color on hand. If the item is in stock we will have the item shipped out usually within 2 business days.

 

★ Estimated production times;

• Non-Clothing (No embroidery): 1-3 weeks
• Non-Clothing (With embroidery): 1-6 weeks

All Pawstar products are shipped via USPS standard Priority Mail. You will receive a email with tracking information when your item ships.

We do not offer express shipping, or alternative carrier options at this time.

★ Product Care

For Fleece:

To keep your fleece looking best, wash using cold or lukewarm water and powdered soap and allow to drip dry. If powdered soap is not available, you may use liquid soap, but be sure to add it to the water and not directly to the fleece. Fleece items are hydrophobic and dry very quickly on their own. There is no need to put fleece in the dryer, just hang them and allow to dry.

For Furs:

Try your best not to get the fur dirty. If you do have to wash it, hand wash with a gentle soap (such as Woolite©) and allow to drip dry. It is very, very important that you do not attempt to dry fur in a dryer. Faux fur is made of thin strands of acrylic and is easily damaged by heat. For best results we recommend hang drying these articles.

For Leather:

If the surface is dirty, rinse with clean water and wipe excess water away with a dry cloth. Make sure leather dries completely so it will not mold. Leather shine products (such as Mink Oil) should be applied periodically to keep the leather from drying out. If our leather products are properly cared for they will last for many years.

For Acrylic:

Rinse with lukewarm water and hand soap and pat dry, then wipe the surface clean with a microfiber lens cloth as needed.
 

For Electronics:

Avoid contact with excess moisture or liquids. Be gentle when making adjustments or handling moving parts.  
 

★ Materials Used

Fur:

The fur used in all of our products is faux fur. That's right, we use synthetic fur for every last one of our fur products.

Leather:

The leather products we manufacture use high quality top grain leather cowhides (mostly sourced from a local tannery in Milwaukee, WI). Our leather has superior wear, finish, and durability unlike other cheap leather readily available with mass market leather imports. Purchasing one of our leather products is an investment in care and quality craftsmanship.

Metal Finishes:

The chrome and black finish in many of our leather hardware pieces has a nickle component that some individuals may have a sensitivity to. If you have skin sensitivity please feel free to reach out to our customer service team about possible alternatives.
