    I ordered some dog treats directly from Jump Your Bones and paid online by credit card. They never shipped my treats, even though I contacted them repeatedly by phone and email. They kept promising to send my order, but never did. Finally I contacted the Better Business Bureau in Florida, requesting a refund. Jump Your Bones never responded to the Better Business Bureau, so several months later my complaint remains unresolved. This company is NOT REPUTABLE, and after experiencing their unethical behavior I would *never* take a chance on one of their products. Please beware of Jump Your Bones … a company that would pull this kind of scam can’t possibly be trusted to manufacture safe pet products!!! Please also note that their products are sold via SitStay.com … whom I have also notified about my complaint with JYB.

      Karla-
      You don’t say where you live, but your cautionary story is just one more reason why to shop with your local small independent pet supply retailer. Most small independents are more that happy to accommodate special requests and often have products that are equally as attractive as the ones from on line retailers, but have the experience to know which manufacturer is reputable and which products are responsibly made.

      No, Charlene, you are incorrect. I have never been issued a refund, and my complaint is now one of THREE pending for Jump Your Bones with the Better Business Bureau of Central Florida. The BBB has issued an “Alert” for your company, and the BBB gives Jump Your Bones a rating of “F.” This is public information that is available to anyone who wants to verify it … simply go to http://www.bbb.org/central-florida and enter Jump Your Bones as the company name. At this point I am grateful that you never shipped my order, because I would never trust any product from Jump Your Bones. To all other pet parents out there, please beware of this disreputable company.
