Cancel Purely Pets: The Right Way for Nigerians

How to cancel Purely Pets in nigeria and protect your consumer rights

Understanding Purely Pets and why nigerians use it

Purely Pets is a subscription service and retailer that delivers pet supplements and recurring pet-care products to your doorstep on a billing cycle you choose. You can subscribe through the Purely Pets website, the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store, or via PayPal depending on where you signed up. The platform serves pet owners across multiple countries, including Nigeria, and bills you in NGN for convenience.

Many Nigerian pet owners choose Purely Pets for the automatic delivery and competitive pricing on premium pet products. However, your circumstances change. Your pet's needs evolve, charges accumulate faster than expected, or the service simply no longer fits your budget. At Tocancel, we understand these frustrations and have guided thousands of Nigerian consumers through subscription cancellations with confidence and clarity.

How Purely Pets billing works

Purely Pets charges you on a recurring schedule you set during sign-up, usually monthly or quarterly. Your payment method determines where you manage your subscription: directly on the Purely Pets website, through your app store account settings, or within your PayPal profile. This distinction matters because cancellation routes differ depending on your original purchase channel. You cannot cancel an app store subscription through the website, for example, and vice versa.

Why cancelling through the correct method matters

Many Nigerian subscribers assume cancellation is a one-step process, but missing the right cancellation channel can leave your subscription active and charges continuing to drain your account. Understanding your purchase method is the first step toward a clean, permanent cancellation. Your action today determines whether you stop paying tomorrow.

Your consumer rights under nigerian law

You are protected by Nigerian consumer law, and you have concrete legal rights when dealing with Purely Pets or any subscription service.

Your statutory protections

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, 2018 (FCCPA) is the primary law protecting you. Under this law, you have the right to cancel services without unreasonable penalties, receive clear billing information before you are charged, and dispute charges you believe are unlawful or unauthorized. If Purely Pets charges you after you cancel, or refuses to process your cancellation request, these legal protections support your complaint to the regulatory authority.

Your legal position is straightforward: you own the decision to cancel, and the company must honor it without obstruction or continued billing. This is your fundamental consumer right.

When to escalate your complaint

If Purely Pets continues to charge you after you cancel, or ignores your cancellation request entirely, you have a formal escalation path. Retain your transaction records, cancellation confirmations, and screenshots of your account showing duplicate charges. Document the date you cancelled, the method you used, and any communication with the company. If Purely Pets does not respond within 14 days or denies your claim, report them to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). Tocancel recommends keeping evidence organized and dated so you can present a clear case if needed.

Cancellation methods for Purely Pets in nigeria

Your cancellation method depends on where you originally subscribed, and choosing the correct route ensures your subscription terminates immediately and permanently.

Cancelling via the Purely Pets website

If you signed up directly on purelypets.com or logged in through their official website, you cancel through your account dashboard.

1. Visit the Purely Pets website and sign into your account using your registered email and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" and reset it before continuing.
2. Navigate to your Account Settings or My Subscriptions section (the exact label depends on platform design).
   • Look for a menu button or your profile icon, usually in the top-right corner of the page.
3. Locate your active subscription in your list of recurring charges.
   • If you have multiple subscriptions (for different pets or products), select only the one you intend to cancel.
4. Click "Manage Subscription" or a similar button next to your active plan.
   • This opens your subscription details, including your next billing date and product information.
5. Select "Cancel Subscription" and follow the on-screen prompts.
   • The company may ask why you are cancelling; you can skip this question or provide feedback as you choose.
   • Do not let optional feedback fields delay your cancellation.
6. Wait for a cancellation confirmation email to arrive in your inbox.
   • This email is your proof that the cancellation was processed. Take a screenshot and save it.

Website cancellation is immediate and leaves a clear digital record, making it the most reliable method if you subscribed directly on their platform.

Cancelling an apple app store subscription

If you subscribed via the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through your Apple ID settings, not through the Purely Pets app itself.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
   • Tap your name at the top of the Settings menu.
2. Tap "Subscriptions" (you may need to navigate through "Media and Purchases" first, depending on your iOS version).
   • A list of all your active App Store subscriptions will appear.
3. Find and tap "Purely Pets" in your subscription list.
   • You will see your subscription renewal date and the billing amount in NGN.
4. Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen.
   • Apple will ask you to confirm your decision and may show you retention offers; ignore these and confirm the cancellation.
5. Verify that your subscription status changes to "Expired" or "Cancelled" immediately.
   • You will receive a confirmation email from Apple; save this as your proof.

Apple App Store subscriptions stop at your next billing cycle, and you will not be charged after cancellation is confirmed. This method is handled entirely by Apple, not by Purely Pets.

Cancelling a google play subscription

If you subscribed through the Google Play Store on an Android device, you cancel through your Google Play account settings.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
   • Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
2. Select "Payments and subscriptions" or "Subscriptions" (exact wording depends on your device and Android version).
   • You will see a list of all active subscriptions.
3. Tap "Purely Pets" from your subscriptions list.
   • The subscription details page will show your renewal date and charge amount in NGN.
4. Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm your choice.
   • Google may display retention messages; proceed with cancellation regardless.
5. Check that your subscription status shows "Cancelled" or "Ends on [date]".
   • Google will send you a confirmation email; save this as your cancellation proof.

Google Play cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period, and you will not be charged after confirmation.

Cancelling a PayPal-linked subscription

If you originally set up Purely Pets to bill through your PayPal account, you can cancel either through PayPal or through the Purely Pets website. Cancelling via PayPal is more direct.

1. Log into your PayPal account online.
   • Go to www.paypal.com and enter your email and password.
2. Click the Settings icon (gear symbol) in the top-right corner.
   • Select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
3. Navigate to "Payments" in the left menu, then click "Manage automatic payments" or "Subscriptions".
   • This section lists all merchants with permission to charge your PayPal account on a recurring basis.
4. Find "Purely Pets" in your list and click on it.
   • A details page will show your subscription amount and billing date.
5. Click "Cancel" and confirm your choice.
   • PayPal will ask you to confirm; proceed without hesitation.
6. Verify that the subscription status changes to "Cancelled" in your PayPal account.
   • PayPal will send a cancellation confirmation to your registered email address.

PayPal cancellations are immediate and prevent the merchant from charging your PayPal account in future. However, also contact Purely Pets directly to confirm your cancellation on their system, ensuring no duplicate charges occur.

What happens after you cancel with tocancel guidance

Cancelling is not the end of your responsibility; what you do immediately after ensures the cancellation sticks and your account closes cleanly.

Confirm your cancellation status

Within 24 hours of cancelling, check your account status across both Purely Pets and your payment platform. Log back into the Purely Pets website or app and verify that your subscription no longer appears in your account, or that it shows as "Cancelled" or "Inactive". This confirmation protects you against billing errors. If the subscription still shows as active, cancel again immediately and contact Purely Pets support in writing to escalate.

Monitor your next billing cycle

Check your payment method (credit card, bank account, or PayPal) on or just after your next expected billing date. If Purely Pets charges you after cancellation, you have proof of unauthorized billing, which strengthens your case with the FCCPC. Tocancel advises you to take a screenshot of any unauthorized charge and retain your transaction history for at least 90 days. If you are charged incorrectly, contact Purely Pets immediately in writing and request a refund within 7 days.

Save all confirmation emails

Purely Pets, Apple, Google, or PayPal will send you a cancellation confirmation email. Download these emails and save them in a dedicated folder on your computer or cloud storage. These emails are your legal proof that you cancelled on a specific date. If any dispute arises later, you can present these timestamps to the FCCPC as evidence of your actions.

Refunds and billing after cancellation

Your refund eligibility depends on when your cancellation takes effect and whether Purely Pets charges you after you cancel.

Refunds for unused services

If you cancel before your next billing date, you are typically not entitled to a refund of your most recent charge, because you have already received the products or services for that billing period. However, if you cancel and Purely Pets continues to charge you (a duplicate charge or a charge after cancellation), you have the legal right to request a refund for those unauthorized charges. Under the FCCPA, unauthorized charges are a breach of consumer protection law, and the company must refund them within 14 days of your complaint.

Disputing unauthorized charges

If you notice a charge on your account after you have cancelled, do not assume it is an error that will resolve itself. Instead, contact Purely Pets in writing (email is acceptable) and state the following: your account email, the date you cancelled, the cancellation confirmation details, and the date of the unauthorized charge. Request a refund in writing and keep a copy of your message. If Purely Pets does not refund the charge within 14 days, file a complaint with your payment provider (your bank, PayPal, Apple, or Google) and also report the incident to the FCCPC. Tocancel recommends including all your evidence: cancellation emails, screenshots of your account, and transaction records.

Chargeback protection

If your bank or PayPal offers a chargeback or dispute resolution process, you can use this as a final escalation if Purely Pets refuses to refund an unauthorized charge. However, attempt direct contact with Purely Pets first; chargebacks should be a last resort and may affect your ability to use payment services with other merchants.

Pricing and subscription tiers for Purely Pets

Understanding what you are paying for helps you decide whether cancellation is the right choice or whether a downgrade suits you better.

These are approximate figures based on typical pet supplement pricing in Nigeria; your actual charges depend on your specific products and order frequency. Before cancelling, consider whether a pause or downgrade to a lower tier might better suit your current situation.

Common cancellation mistakes to avoid

Cancelling seems straightforward, but small errors can leave your subscription active and money leaving your account unintentionally.

Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong channel

If you subscribed via the Apple App Store, cancelling through the Purely Pets website will not work. The website cancellation only affects the website subscription, not the app store version. You must cancel through the app store itself. This is the most common error Tocancel customers encounter: they cancel in one place and assume the entire subscription is gone, only to be charged again a month later. Match your cancellation method to your original subscription method.

Mistake 2: not saving your cancellation confirmation

If you delete the cancellation email or close your browser window without taking a screenshot, you lose your proof. If Purely Pets charges you later and denies they received your cancellation, you have no timestamp to prove when you cancelled. Always download or screenshot your confirmation email before considering the cancellation complete.

Mistake 3: cancelling too close to your billing date

If you cancel on the same day you are due to be charged, the company may process both the charge and the cancellation simultaneously, creating confusion. Cancel at least 3 days before your next billing date to ensure the system processes your cancellation before any charge is attempted.

Mistake 4: assuming "pause" is the same as "cancel"

Some subscription services offer a pause feature that temporarily stops charges but leaves your subscription active. If you pause instead of cancel, your subscription will resume automatically, and charges will resume when the pause period ends. If you truly want to end your subscription permanently, select cancel, not pause.

Mistake 5: not following up with your payment provider

If Purely Pets charges you after you cancel, contacting Purely Pets alone may not be enough. You also need to report the unauthorized charge to your payment provider (your bank, PayPal, Apple, or Google) so they can dispute it. Tocancel advises you to do both: contact the merchant and your payment provider in parallel to maximize your chances of recovering the money.

When you should cancel Purely Pets

Not every subscriber needs to cancel; understanding whether cancellation is right for you helps you make a confident decision.

Cancel if:

• Your pet no longer needs the supplements (recovery, dietary change, or change in health status).
• Your budget has tightened and the monthly or quarterly charge is now unaffordable.
• You are unhappy with product quality or your pet is not responding to the supplements.
• You have found a cheaper alternative elsewhere in Nigeria.
• You prefer to buy supplies on demand rather than on a recurring schedule.
• Purely Pets charges you after you have already attempted to cancel.

Consider pausing or downgrading if:

• You want to give the product more time but cannot afford the current subscription tier.
• Your pet needs the supplement, but only occasionally.
• You plan to resume the subscription after a temporary financial constraint passes.
• You like the product but want to reduce frequency (monthly to quarterly, for example).

Pausing is reversible and lower-commitment; cancellation is permanent and immediately stops all charges. Choose based on your honest assessment of your needs and budget.

Contact and escalation details for Purely Pets

If Purely Pets refuses your cancellation request or continues to charge you, you have formal recourse channels.

Direct contact

Purely Pets operates through multiple channels. If you need to contact them directly, use the following addresses and methods:

• Website: purelypets.com (look for "Contact Us" or "Help" section)
• Email: Check your account dashboard or look for a "Customer Support" link on their website; support email addresses are usually listed there.
• Mailing address: Purely Pets serves Nigeria, but their primary operations and mailing address may be outside Nigeria. Request a Nigerian contact address or P.O. Box through their website before escalating.

When you contact Purely Pets, always use written communication (email) so you have a record of your request and the date you sent it. Include your account email, the date you cancelled, and specific details of any unauthorized charges.

Regulatory escalation in nigeria

If Purely Pets ignores your cancellation request or refuses to refund an unauthorized charge, escalate to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC). The FCCPC is the statutory body empowered to enforce consumer protection law in Nigeria and to investigate complaints against businesses.

• Contact: Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC)
• Website: www.fccpc.gov.ng
• Email: [email protected]
• Complaint portal: You can file a consumer complaint directly through their online portal.

When you file a complaint with the FCCPC, provide your account details, the dates of your cancellation attempts, copies of all emails and communications, your cancellation confirmation, and evidence of any unauthorized charges. The FCCPC has the power to investigate Purely Pets and compel them to refund your money if they have violated consumer protection law.

Payment provider dispute

If you are charged by Purely Pets after cancellation, you can also dispute the charge through your payment provider:

• Credit card or bank account: Contact your bank and report the unauthorized charge; they can reverse it on your behalf.
• PayPal: File a dispute through your PayPal account's Resolution Centre.
• Apple: Contact Apple Support and explain that you are being charged after cancelling your subscription.
• Google: File a dispute through your Google Play Account support page.

Your payment provider often has faster refund processing than Purely Pets, and they can act independently to reverse unauthorized charges. Tocancel recommends pursuing both the merchant and your payment provider in parallel if needed.
