Using this toy is super easy. Just hide your dog's favorite kibble or treats inside the folds of the corn maze. Then, let your dog loose and watch them have a blast sniffing around to find the hidden goodies. As for precautions, make sure to check the toy regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If any part is damaged, take it away from your dog to avoid choking hazards. To keep the toy in good shape, you can wash it by hand with mild soap and water. Let it dry completely before giving it back to your dog. With proper care, this snuffle toy will provide endless fun for your furry friend.
