FAQ
A few things to know before choosing this box.
Is Starter the best value?
No. Starter is the easiest way in, but Standard is the stronger value if you want a fuller routine and free-shipping eligibility.
Does Starter qualify for free shipping by itself?
No. Starter sits below the free-shipping threshold on purpose, so it works best as an entry point or with one small add-on.
Who should choose Starter first?
Choose it if you want to try Tail & Treat with a smaller order before moving into the fuller routine system.
