Buddy’s Story

Buddy Bark Park was inspired by the memory of Buddy, a beloved pup who passed unexpectedly at just 2 years old due to lactic acidosis. His loss sparked a mission: to create a place where pet owners support one another through fun, connection, and care — especially in the hardest times.

Founder Michael Paul, also known as The Puppy Professor, created this platform with the support of his wife Shonna Dossey, his father Shae Schubert, and his sister Thorne Schubert. Their belief in this vision made everything possible.

Refund Policy

A legal disclaimer

The explanations and information provided on this page are only general and high-level explanations and information on how to write your own document of a Refund Policy. You should not rely on this article as legal advice or as recommendations regarding what you should actually do, because we cannot know in advance what are the specific refund policies that you wish to establish between your business and your customers. We recommend that you seek legal advice to help you understand and to assist you in the creation of your own Refund Policy.

Refund Policy - the basics

Having said that, a Refund Policy is a legally binding document that is meant to establish the legal relations between you and your customers regarding how and if you will provide them with a refund. Online businesses selling products are sometimes required (depending on local laws and regulations) to present their product return policy and refund policy. In some jurisdictions, this is needed in order to comply with consumer protection laws. It may also help you avoid legal claims from customers that are not satisfied with the products they purchased.

What to include in the Refund Policy

Generally speaking, a Refund Policy often addresses these types of issues: the timeframe for asking for a refund; will the refund be full or partial; under which conditions will the customer receive a refund; and much, much more.
