Your ToxBuddy subscription may start with a free trial. The duration of the free trial period will be specified during sign-up and displayed on the “Account” page. The free trial is intended to allow new users and certain former users to try the service.

Eligibility for the free trial is determined by VETOQUINOL at its sole discretion and we may limit eligibility or duration to prevent free trial abuse.
