Additional Information 

Care Instructions 

• Rinse After Each Use: Rinse the toy with warm water and dish soap after every play session to keep it clean and fresh.
• Soak Stubborn Residue: Soak the toy in warm soapy water if dried peanut butter or treats are stuck, then gently scrub it off with a brush.
• Dishwasher Cleaning Tip: Place it on the top rack of the dishwasher, but avoid the heated-dry cycle since high heat can damage the rubber.
