Refund policy
Effective Date: 2026-02-09
1. Overview
At Dogominium (owned by Giles Gems Publishing, LLC), ("Company", "we", "our", "us") we stand behind the quality of our products. This policy explains when and how returns and refunds are accepted for purchases made through Dogominium Luxury Doghouses and Designer Kennels.
Our return and refund policy aligns with — and in many cases exceeds — the policies of each supplier we partner with. Because every supplier maintains its own guidelines, the specific return and refund terms for each product are clearly listed on that product’s page. Please refer to the individual product pages for the exact policy that applies to your purchase.
Items That Are Not Custom Orders
The general policy applies to orders that are not custom orders. Many of the products we sell are custom orders. Custom orders are not eligible for return or refund. If you have questions on your custom orders, please reach out to us at 1-208-643-7930 or support@dogominium.com prior to placing your order.
At Dogominium, we only work with manufacturers who meet our high-quality standards. However, some of our vendors have return policies that are more restrictive than our general store policy. In these cases, the specific requirements will be provided directly on the product page. Please be sure to check the 'Returns' section on each page for details.
For orders that are not custom orders the following policy applies.
- Region: United States lower 48 states
-
Return window: 14 days total, but damage must be reported within 48 hours of delivery
- Orders placed after November 1, of any given year are eligible for return until January 5 of the following year.
- Return eligibility: Accepts returns for both defective and non-defective products if they meet policy conditions. Note - certain products are NOT eligible for return and specified on the product page such as custom orders.
- Return shipping: Customer is responsible for return shipping costs unless the item is defective or damaged on arrival.
- Restocking fee: 30% of the product price for approved returns
Custom Order Return Policy
Custom orders can be cancelled for 24 hours after the order is placed. After 24 hours, the item is in process of being made per your specifications. After 24 hours, custom orders can not be cancelled and / or returned. Caveats discussed below concerning returning an item only apply to non custom orders or custom orders when cancellation / return is requested within 48 hours after the order is place.

10. Warranty
All products sold by Dogominium include a standard limited warranty that covers:
- Defects in materials
- Defects in workmanship
- Structural failures not caused by misuse or environmental damage
This general warranty applies only to the original purchaser and only to products purchased directly from Dogominium.com.
Coverage begins on the date of delivery.
Many of our products — including architectural doghouses, insulated kennel systems, grooming equipment, and wellness devices — are backed by manufacturer‑specific warranties.
Manufacturer warranties always override and supersede this general warranty.
If a manufacturer offers:
- A longer warranty period
- More detailed coverage
- Specific exclusions
- A dedicated claim process
…then their warranty terms take precedence.
We will always direct you to the correct manufacturer warranty so you receive the highest level of coverage available.
What Is Not Covered
The general Dogominium warranty does not cover:
- Normal wear and tear
- Cosmetic changes (fading, staining, minor scratches)
- Damage caused by improper installation, misuse, neglect, or accidents
- Damage from weather events, natural disasters, or environmental exposure beyond normal conditions
- Modifications or alterations made after delivery
- Damage caused by pets chewing, scratching, or destructive behavior
- Commercial use unless the product is specifically rated for it
Manufacturer warranties may include additional exclusions.
How to Submit a Warranty Claim
To initiate a warranty claim, please contact Dogominium Customer Support with:
- Your order number
- Photos or videos of the issue
- A description of the problem
- The date the issue was first noticed
We will review your claim and determine whether it falls under:
- Dogominium’s general warranty, or
- A manufacturer‑specific warranty (in which case we will connect you directly with the manufacturer’s warranty team)
Our goal is to ensure a smooth, transparent, and timely resolution.
Resolution Options
Depending on the product and the warranty terms, approved claims may result in:
- Replacement parts
- Product repair
- Full product replacement
- Store credit (when applicable)
- Manufacturer‑direct remedies
Resolution timelines vary by manufacturer and product type.
Your Responsibility
To maintain warranty eligibility, customers must:
- Follow all installation, care, and maintenance instructions
- Use the product only as intended
- Report issues promptly
- Avoid unauthorized modifications or repairs
11. Legal Rights
This policy does not affect your rights under U.S. consumer protection law.
12. Changes to This Policy
