Products
Search and find
In the search box (always located at the top right, underneath the customer account), type in a search term, product name or product number. You will specifically be shown a number of suggestions in the search box as well as the total number of matches.
On the search results page, you can sort the selection according to your preferences (e.g. according to price, or alphabetically). You can further limit the selection by using various filters; every time you use a filter you will then specifically be shown the remaining number of suitable products. You can employ the filters individually or also completely remove them in order to view a larger selection again.
By using the main categories “For dogs” and “For cats” you can either view all of the products for dogs or cats, or go directly to a targeted subcategory e.g. collars or toys. Here, too, you are able to sort the displayed items or further limit them using the various filters.
If your search does not turn up any results, you are best off trying it again using fewer filters or a different combination. In the “Looks” category, you will find all the current themes on the homepage and you get a selective view of specific HUNTER product series. Our HUNTER series are mostly named after cities and are sorted alphabetically here.
In the “New products” category, you will be shown the most up-to-date products from HUNTER. In this section you will also be able to find existing products in new colours or sizes, for example. It’s therefore worth swinging by this section more often.
You can make big savings in the “Sale” category: here you will find all discontinued items and promotional products at highly reduced prices. So this page is also worth a regular visit, since we will continually be offering new bargain items.
In the category "For you" you will find bracelets, belts and other accessories, not only made of leather, for masters and mistresses. Not only your four-legged friends are stylish, but also yourself, fashionably styled in the HUNTER look.
Please be aware that all our staple items are currently being displayed in the categories “New products” and “Sale”. If an item is available in a new colour, for example, you will potentially see an item image in a different colour - the definitive new versions can be found if you enter a specific selection (colour + size) on the item detail page. The same goes for reduced items: if, for example, a specific version of an item is reduced, you can find this information on the item page by selecting this version. In the “Sale” category, the main item is displayed, potentially also alongside an image of a different version: this does not necessarily mean that all versions of this item are reduced in price.
Discover
If you would like to find out more about an item, simply click on the image or product name. You will be directed to the item detail page where you will find all the important information.
- Name
- Item number
- Pictures and videos
- Available colours, sizes and designs
- Item price
- Availability and delivery dates
- Product description, potential applications and material specifications
- Other useful information such as measuring guides, care instructions and contents (according to item)
Under “matching products”, you will be shown other items which either belong to the same range or collection or would act as useful additions. Let the suggestions inspire you.
Right at the bottom of this page in the “recently viewed” section, you will also find a history of the products which you have already looked at, in case you would like to go back and view them again in order to compare them with a different item, for example.
Select
Where the item is supplied in different colours, designs or sizes, you choose your own desired combination. You view the price per unit (including the statutory VAT, plus delivery costs) and can then choose the amount either using the selection menu or by directly specifying the amount using the quantity box. Proceed by clicking on the “add to basket” button and you will see a short info window, informing you that the item has been placed in your basket. Information on the shipping costs incurred can be found here.
You can then either continue shopping (simply click back onto the item page on the left and the info window will close again), edit your basket or go directly to the checkout.
With regards to availability of items we are using the following “traffic light system”:
- green means “item is available in sufficient numbers”
- yellow means “item is available in limited numbers” (this could lead to circumstances in which the item cannot in fact be delivered, even after you have completed your order, because demand was so great)
- red means “item is currently out of stock”
If a particular item is currently out of stock, you can set up an email reminder to let you know when the item is back in stock online. To do this, simply enter your email address into the box provided.
In addition, you can save any items that are currently unavailable to your Wish List, as you would do with available items, in order to easily find them again later.
You can alter your selection as well as the item quantity at any time, either in your basket or during the checkout process.
Prices and promotions
All our prices in the online shop are displayed in Euros € and are understood to include the statutory VAT of 19%.
Items which are reduced in price as part of a special offer or promotion are marked accordingly. You will see the price saving in %, and the crossed out price refers to the RRP (recommended retail price specified by the manufacturer).
All reduced items can be found under the “Sale” menu option.
Basket and Checkout
Edit basket
If you have selected your item and desired quantity and then clicked on the button “add to basket”, you will see a short info window on the right, which you can use to edit your basket or to go directly to the checkout to complete your order.
You can access your basket at any time via the symbol in the main navigation display, in the very top right of every page. There you will see, by means of a small number, how many items are currently in your basket (types of items, not the total quantity).
In your basket you will see a list of your selected products. Here you can
- view an item again (simply click on the image or the item name and you will be directed back to the item detail page)
- alter the quantity (select the desired quantity using the selection menu, the price will then automatically change to reflect the new quantity)
- delete an item (click on the X on the right, and the total value of your basket will again change automatically)
You will see the price per unit for each item, the respective total price, the value of your basket and the shipping costs incurred. Further information on the shipping costs can be found here.
Click on the “continue shopping” button to go back to the shop, or on the “go to checkout” button to complete your order.
Your basket will be saved over a default period of time, so that you can conveniently access it again, if, for example, you should have to end your shopping session unexpectedly. Our data protection regulations are valid in this case.

Please be aware that PayPal limits the possible payment methods according to the selected country in which the billing address is located. Upon the selection of your payment method during the ordering process, you will always be shown the maximum number of payment options available.
In step 2 you also select your desired delivery method. At present we ship your orders exclusively using DHL standard delivery. We are working to link up with other shipping providers and we will promptly inform you of any new shipping options. We invite you to please take advantage of our newsletter registration.
With DHL there are different options available in order to keep you informed of your order status - you can find more information under “Track and receive delivery“.

In step 3 you can check over your order a final time.
At this point you can still change the billing and delivery address. To do so, click on the respective button “select another address” and go back to step 1. There you can enter your new information, confirm step 2 and return to step 3.
Using the “select another address” link, you can choose directly from a list of previously specified addresses.
In the “payment and delivery” section, you can find the options which you have previously selected. You can also correct these options by clicking on the “change payment and delivery” button. You will be directed back to step 2. There you can enter your new information, save it, and return to step 3.

Order and delivery
Amend or cancel order
Unfortunately, you are not currently able to subsequently alter an order which has already been submitted.
You have a general right to cancel your contract within fourteen days without providing a reason and thus cancel your order. You can find further details on your right to cancellation here.
Track and receive delivery
Your order will usually be processed, packed and delivered to the shipping service within 1-3 days. For deliveries outside of Germany, it may happen that you receive your parcel somewhat later, e.g. due to customs formalities or handing over to a local sub-shipping service provider.
At present we ship your orders exclusively using DHL. You will be informed via email as soon as your package has left our logistics centre or been passed on to the shipping provider. This email will also contain a tracking number which you can use to track your shipment. You will receive a further email to inform you when your package is expected to be delivered. With DHL, you can then still select on which day or in which time window your package should be delivered, and you can also specify your preferred location.
We at “We love HUNTER” unfortunately cannot guarantee the final delivery of your package: however, we of course remain in contact with our shipping provider in order to ensure the optimal and quickest possible delivery. If you experience delays or other inconveniences with your delivery, we are certainly happy to provide you with further assistance. Please first research the delivery status of your order using your assigned tracking number, which you can also find on your order in your customer account. Alternatively, please make use of one of our various contact channels, indicating your order number.
When you receive your delivery, please check it for damages incurred during transit. If goods are delivered with obvious transport damages, please make an immediate complaint to the delivery agent where possible. Please also get in touch with us immediately and inform us of your order number, the affected item and the type of damage incurred.
Failure to file a complaint or to establish contact has no consequences with regard to your legal rights and their enforcement, in particular your warranty rights. However, it helps us to file our own claims against the carrier or the transport insurance.

2. Faulty items
Is your item faulty when you first try it out or use it? We are obviously very sorry to hear that and we know this should not occur; we would like to remedy the situation quickly. In this case, your statutory warranty rights apply. Please get in contact with us immediately and inform us of your order number, the affected item and the type of damage incurred. As the distributor we have two opportunities in this event to correct the defects by subsequent action: this means we will either repair the faulty item or send you a new item. To do so, we require you to provide a written request and an appropriate deadline. Only then do you have the right to cancel the purchase or to request a reduction of purchase price or claim damages. You can find further details on your warranty rights in the terms and conditions.
3. Dissatisfaction
The collar sadly didn’t fit? After unpacking the item, you found that the design wasn’t quite what you thought it was when you ordered? You ordered various items to choose between? It’s not a problem if you aren’t satisfied with an item - your statutory right to cancellation entitles you to cancel your order within 14 days, and what’s more you don’t need to provide a reason. We assume the costs of returning the goods. In additon, as a registered customer with a customer account (from Germany), you have another 14 days to return your items free of charge if you do not like them. Please use the returns link in the order overview in the customer account. You can find further details on your right to cancellation here.
