⚠️WARNING WHEN FREEZING TREAT TOYS
Please ensure that if you are stuffing treat toys and freezing them for your pets, don’t forget to ensure there is a HOLE ALL OF THE WAY THROUGH IT.
WHY YOU MAY ASK ?
Toys such as Kongs have 2 holes in their toys for a reason - TO PREVENT SUCTION.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT ?
When your pet licks at the contents of the toy or squeezes it in its mouth, their tongue can get SUCKED into the hole and the toy can get STUCK on the dogs tongue. This can cause horrific injuries to the point where the animal can actually die.
Having 2 HOLES in the toy PREVENTS this from happening.
So if you STUFF your toys with treats, natural peanut butter, etc - push a large straw through it to ensure the 2 HOLES ARE NOT BLOCKED. (We like the thick straws used for bubble tea 🧋)
If you are going to FREEZE the toy, do so with the straw in place and then REMOVE the straw before giving it to your pet.
