We will refund 100% of your money upon return of product for up to 100 days." Additionally, on the company's Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550742297036) it reads, "use CODE30 for a discount at checkout" and "...VETERAN, FAMILY BUSINESS SINCE 2023". Additionally, on the company's Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/vetteck.shop/) it reads, "...use Code30 at checkout for a discount". Additionally, on the company's YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@VetTeck/featured) it reads, "USE code30 for discount", "Works on the first try, or your money back!", "100% Safe Ultra-Sonic Sound", and "Tested & Recommended by Vets". Advertisers must be prepared to substantiate such claims per BBB's Code of Advertising.

BBB's Code of Advertising Section 1 states, The primary responsibility for truthful and non-deceptive advertising rests with the advertiser. Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any objective claims or offers made before publication or broadcast. Upon request, they should present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or BBB. BBB's Code of Advertising section 28 states, Superlative statements in advertisements about the tangible qualities and performance values of a product or service are objective claims for which the advertiser must possess substantiation as they can be based upon accepted standards or tests. As statements of fact, such claims, like “#1 in new car sales in the city,” can be proved or disproved. BBB's Code of Advertising Section 9 states, 9.2 Time limit sales must be observed. BBB's Code of Advertising Section 3 states, The former price must be the actual price at which the advertiser has openly and actively offered the product or service for sale, for a reasonably substantial period of time, in the recent, regular course of business, honestly and in good faith. 3.2 Where the former price is genuine, the bargain being advertised is a true one. If, on the other hand, the former price being advertised is not bona fide, the bargain being advertised is a false one. 3.2.1 For example, where an artificial, inflated price was established for the purpose of enabling the subsequent offer of a large reduction, the consumer is not receiving the usual value expected. In such a case, the “reduced” price is, in reality, probably just the seller's regular price. 3.3 Offering prices, as distinguished from actual former selling prices, may be used to deceptively imply a savings. In the event few or no sales were made at the advertised comparative price, the advertiser must make sure that the higher price does not exceed the advertiser's usual and customary retail markup for similar products or services. Additionally, BBB's Code of Advertising Section 34 states, Claims relating to performance, energy savings, safety, efficacy or results for a product or service should be based on recent and competent testing or other objective data.

As of August 14, 2024, the business has not responded to BBB's request.
