PAW Academy USA was closed for business on August 30, 2022. Unfortunately, there were orders that were not fulfilled due to lack of funds. There are no assets left in the company and we are unable to provide either product or refund. I apologize to those of you who did not receive your orders. I made a bad choice of business partners and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I have tried contacting them by email because they don’t have a phone number listed on there website

I have tried emailing this company on an email address listed on the website and I even got an email that I found on the bbb website that they had responded to a client saying to use an help email address and got crickets so I went ahead and called the bensenville police and they stated that 162 foster ave is not a good address and I also contacted my cousin who lives in Illinois and she had some go to that address and it does not exist they are fraud I am also going to reach out to the bbb and the chamber of commerce to report them THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM

My order NOT received.

This company does not respond to emails. I did not receive the product I ordered from them and I continue to be ignored. No response, No product. The time given for delivery is 9 to 15 business days, my order has passed 15 business days with no response after several emails.
Horrible!!!

My bad experience with this company

My experience with this company has been exactly the same as others posted here. I placed two orders for a gray giant anti anxiety bed on April 24, 2022, and received two “thank you for your order” emails for order No. PAW-R38BAHXFA1P3 and PAW-8G0QW5XSXGEI. The next day I emailed them at support to cancel one of the beds (GEI). Today is May 12th and I haven’t received confirmation of my cancellation, nor notice of shipping. From experience, lack of communication on the seller’s part means no merchandise and refund.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY

I ordered a bed and never received it. I wrote them three times and never received a reply other than an automated message saying that I would hear from them in a couple of days. Finally, I contacted my Credit Card company and filed a dispute. They settled it immediately and gave me a credit on my account.

Dear Nancy: I'm very sorry you didn't get the service you deserved. Unfortunately we haven't received email sent to this address (support@pawacademyusa.com) which is shown on our website, that we can't change yet, due to business transition. We are sorry for that inconvenience.
On the other hand, we were not notified that your ordered item is on backorder with the supplier which means it will not be shipped for at least 60 days.
We are sorry for the inconvenience we have cause you.

Paw Academy: Contact me in the next 24 hours. I want a refund!

Clearly this company is a scam. After getting tricked into the fake reviews via their Twitter ad -- which were inundating my feed -- I ordered two calming beds on April 18th. When I received my email confirmation, it did not contain a tracking number, only the order number. That should be the RED FLAG right there. And in these reviews, I've yet to see the company's response to that issue. Like the other complaints on here, I emailed twice (with screenshots references) to no avail. I want my money refunded in the next 24 hours, or I will contact a lawyer to get a class action lawsuit filed against this business. Based on these legitimate reviews, combined with my own experience, this company is clearly a scam, and I almost can't believe I feel for it.

Dear B.A.S - Thank you for your review. When you place the order, tracking number is not auto generated. It will be generated when the carrier gets your item. That makes sense why you only received the order number when you place your order.
The email you sent twice was probably sent to this (support@pawacademyusa.com) which is a no-to-reply email address. Which means, we never received that email and if ever you received a reply, it was an auto-generated reply.
We are sorry if your concern was not handled immediately.

I purchased a dog bed on April 8th

I purchased a dog bed on April 8th, after several emails due to not receiving an order confirmation, no tracking, and order was lost, I finally received my purchase on May 10th. I wasn’t sure if this site was a scam, but it seems legitimate, customer service did respond to my inquiries. They must be fielding a lot of emails from unhappy customers. I ordered a medium and received a small bed in the wrong color. I don’t think the small bed is big enough for my cat let alone my dog. They must have just thrown something in a bag to fill the order. Once I received the tracking after 30 days the package did come quickly within 3 days. Maybe they need to hire a new operations manager. I would not recommend ordering from this company. I’m only out $20, I am glad I didn’t spend more money. If I liked the dog bed I was going to order more. I was looking to replace the older dog beds.

Don’t order until this company gets it together!!

I ordered the medium gray anti-anxiety bed on April 12, and according to the email receipt from Paw Academy, my bed should have arrived awhile ago. I never got shipping info from them, and sent an email April 27th (the date it should have arrived by) explaining I had never received the shipping information I was told to expect. Of course I got the dreaded standard reply that a support ticket had been opened and I should hear back in 2-3 business days. I heard nothing so wrote back again on May 4. They replied my bed had been shipped but there was no tracking information given. But I would receive the bed in 9-13 business days. So far, no bed.

I really wanted to give this bed to my little guy for his adoption anniversary, as I’ve had problems with separation anxiety and I was hoping this would help. Now I don’t even know if I’ll ever get it. The sad part is that there were things I would have ordered, but I’m glad now I haven’t. I understand the company had been sold Nov 2021. Things must have been a mess for what seems an inability to get things done in a more timely fashion than the previous owner. I’ll just wait by the mailbox in the hopes I still have a dog by the time it arrives.

Dear Lynda- We apologized for the service you received. If ever you sent email to this (support@pawacademyusa.com) which is a no-to-reply email address. Which means, we never received that email and if ever you received a reply, it was an auto-generated reply. And the 9-15 days is our usual delivery days but there are instances when your product is in the suppliers back order and it will take longer than usual. Considering that you did not received the order, it probably in the suppliers back order. We are sorry if your concern was not handled immediately.

Dear Shari- Your previous review states that you checked the tracking number. Unfortunately, It was not the tracking number. It was the order number that was auto generated when you placed an order. We ask for your order information.
We replied to your review here, and ask you to send us an email to this address help@pawacademyusa.com, but we haven't received your email containing your order information. That way, we can't really update you regarding your order status or provide a refund because we don't have your order information.

ZERO Customer Service

I dont want to give any stars but I had to pick 1. I ordered a bed on 4/13 and had to email asking when it would ship. It supposedly shipped on 4/20 but I have no tracking number. The money was taken out of my account as soon as I ordered it but still no bed or tracking number on 5/8. I've emailed 3 times asking where my bed is and NO RESPONSE! From here I will be going to the BBB website to file a complaint. This company should be shut down. There are an awful lot of people with the same issue. WHERE IS MY BED??
Order No. PAW-V54LOL17VZVC
I'm thinking the LOL in the middle of the order is Paw Academy laughing all the way to the bank with MY money!

Very poor customer service

Emailed to two different email addresses but still no reply. I went to order a large dark gray dog bed. When I looked in the cart I had 2 MED KHAKI beds. I removed them and went back, ordered again. Same thing. Last try. I looked in the cart and it had the large dk gray. I made sure when I hit complete order it had the correct item. I immediately went to my email and saw the confirmation was for a MED KHAKI. I started sending emails right away. Then I got a shipped notification. Emailed a different address. No reply. And guess what was delivered. A medium khaki bed. Hard to give a good rating when the system was wacky & customer service seems non existent. Looks like a nice product but not usable for our fur baby.

I ordered a dog bed and a cat laser toy…

I ordered a dog bed and a cat laser toy on April 29th. I received a confirmation and have been trying to track my order. Using the order number ...It doesn't exist. I have reached out to them 3 times and have not gotten any replies. At this point I do not believe this is a reputable company. I have never had issue like this Using Chewy or Petco online. I am hoping they are having slow distribution issues but the lack of communication is concerning. I will update my review pending my outcome.
Paw academy responded that they haven't received an email but I have 2 confirmed emails. They have also emailed me when I first placed the order with a copy of my invoice, address, and order number. Why then do I have to contact them again to track my order? I have spoken to my credit card fraud department who have been able to track payment and bank information and an address. This company is fraudulent and the business address they use is fraudulent. When the investigation is closed I will post the name and addresses behind this company so others can take action.
I wish trustpilot would let consumers screenshot our emails to them, I can copy and paste my confirmation which states the following;
Thank you for your order!

This reply is much like all of the other replies to the consumers who call out this company on fraud. This is an ill attempt to keep their scam going. ALL you have to do is check to see if your bank or credit card company has a fraud department. As long as this company took money off your card on a fraudulent transaction they can begin the tracing process. You have to fill out a form to begin. Mine was able to track them and since there are so many online complaints of fraud and no evidence good faith or refund to my account, they can trail the $ and bring charges on the owners the accounts receiving this $. I am urging you all to do this and contact your fraud department. I only knew of this because my account is a friends an family account through my stepbrother who works doing fraud investigation for my card holder. I called him to see if I could reverse or decline payment and he advised me that it should be looked into and I needed to fill out a form with a screenshot of the transaction where they took the $ and my conformation email (and any others) so they could investigate. 100% THIS IS A FRAUD SCHEME. PLEASE contact your bank or cardholder if you had an issue with this company and have not received refund or good faith.

5-18-2022 Dear Maureen. Thank you for taking your precious time to write us a review. Until this date, you haven't emailed us to settle this issue. Again, we are waiting for your email so that we can process the refund if you have been charge with your order. Thank you!

5-12-2022 Dear Maureen. The order number is not the tracking number, that makes sense why you can't track it. When you place the order, Our products typically ship 2-3 days from the order and then take 9-15 days for delivery. For special order, which is the Giant sizes, it may take longer. There are instances when the item is in the back order from the supplier and it took longer times before shipping, which is out of our control but we did everything we could to communicate with the supplier and update to our customer.

Again, if you reached out to this email (support@pawacademyusa.com), it will generate an auto replies like a copy of invoice, address, and order number. That makes sense why you got that replies. But the Paw Customer service did not received your email. We can't found your name (Maureen Vescera) on our system that's why we can't locate your order, if there is any. That is why we are asking you to email in Help@PAWAcademyUSA.com but you haven't send us an email confirming your purchase. We are still waiting for your email containing purchase information so that we can update the status of your order or issue a full refund. Thank You.
