Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Are Pets First products officially licensed?
Ans: Yes. Pets First holds licensing agreements with the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, and around 50 NCAA college programs, so the team names, logos, and colors on its products are used with permission rather than being unofficial designs.
Q2: How do I know what size to order for my pet?
Ans: Pets First uses your pet's weight and measurements to help you find the right size. Small, medium, and large labels may not be enough. Look at the size chart for each product and measure your pet's neck, chest, or body length before buying.
Q3: Can cats wear Pets First products, or is the line just for dogs?
Ans: Many Pets First items, such as collars, bandanas, and some toys, can be used by both dogs and cats. Jerseys and tees are usually made with dogs in mind. Check the pet type listed for each product before ordering.
Q4: How should I clean Pets First apparel and accessories?
Ans: Most fabric products can be washed by hand or in a washing machine on a gentle cycle. Always check the care label first, because the cleaning instructions may differ for mesh jerseys, satin collars, and plush toys.
Q5: Which sports leagues and colleges does Pets First carry?
Ans: Pets First offers gear for the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, and about 50 NCAA college teams. HardyPaw carries only part of the brand's full selection. The teams and product types available on HardyPaw can vary.
Q6: Are Pets First toys a good choice for aggressive chewers?
Ans: These toys are meant for normal play and are not made as heavy-duty chew toys. Supervise your pet during play and look for signs of damage. Pay close attention to plush and rope toys.
