Full details
The Ancol Made From Jelly Fish dog toy is an ideal choice for pet owners seeking sustainable, eco-friendly entertainment for their dogs. This soft, tactile toy is crafted from 100% recycled outer fabrics and bouncy stuffing derived from post-consumer plastic bottles, effectively diverting 8 bottles from landfills per toy. While it is perfectly suited for gentle play and comforting cuddles, it is not recommended for aggressive chewers, as the soft materials may not withstand intense tearing.

FAQs
Is this toy safe for puppies?
Yes, its soft texture is great for puppies; however, always supervise play to ensure they do not attempt to rip or ingest the fabric.
Can I machine wash the Ancol Jelly Fish toy?
Hand washing with a damp cloth is recommended. Machine washing may damage the internal squeaker and compromise the recycled fabric structure.
What is the toy stuffed with?
The stuffing is made from bouncy, recycled material sourced from post-consumer plastic bottles.
Is this durable enough for a strong chewer?
No, this toy is specifically designed for gentle play and cuddling, not for dogs that have a tendency to shred or heavily chew their toys.
How many plastic bottles are recycled to make one toy?
Each individual toy helps divert 8 plastic bottles from landfills.
Can the toy really help my dog feel more secure?
Yes, by holding onto a familiar scent, the soft fabric can provide comfort to dogs that are prone to anxiety.
Troubleshooting
The toy stopped squeaking
Check if the squeaker has been displaced or flattened; sometimes gently massaging the area around the squeaker can reposition it, but the sound may be permanently lost if the internal mechanism is punctured.
The toy has developed a tear
If the tear is minor, you may stitch it closed with strong, non-toxic thread. If the stuffing is coming out, the toy should be discarded immediately to prevent a choking hazard.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This toy requires no setup; it is ready to use immediately upon removal from packaging. It is compatible with all dog breeds, though it is specifically recommended for light chewers. To maintain the hygiene of the toy, it is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe detergent if it becomes soiled. Because the internal stuffing consists of recycled plastic materials, avoid putting the toy through high-heat drying cycles, which could potentially warp the stuffing or damage the integrated squeaker mechanism. Regularly inspect the toy for loose threads or tears, especially after play sessions, and remove the toy if any internal stuffing becomes exposed to prevent ingestion.
