Product Information
Full details
The Rosewood Battersea Rubber Heart Treat Dispensing Toy is designed for dog owners seeking to provide mental stimulation and physical engagement for their pets. This heart-shaped toy serves as both a durable chewable object and a rewarding puzzle that encourages natural foraging behaviors, making it an excellent tool for reducing boredom in dogs of all breeds and sizes. While the sturdy construction is perfect for most moderate chewers, it is important to note that no toy is completely indestructible, and pet owners should always monitor their dogs during play.

FAQs
Is this toy dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the toy using warm water and mild soap to preserve the integrity of the rubber.
Can I use wet food in this toy?
While it is possible, wet food can be difficult to clean out of the crevices. Dry kibble or firm treats are recommended for easier maintenance.
Is this toy safe for puppies?
Yes, but as with all puppies, ensure they are supervised to ensure they do not attempt to swallow large pieces if they are teething aggressively.
What are the exact dimensions?
The heart toy measures 15 cm by 12 cm, making it a versatile size for most dog breeds.
Where does the money from my purchase go?
Proceeds from this product support the rescue and rehoming work performed by Battersea.
Troubleshooting
Treats falling out too quickly
Use slightly larger treats or mix kibble with a small amount of dog-safe peanut butter to increase the difficulty of extraction.
Dog shows no interest in the toy
Try using higher-value, more aromatic treats to pique your dog's interest, or spend time rolling the toy for them to demonstrate how the food comes out.
Difficulty cleaning inside the cavity
Use a small bottle brush or a pipe cleaner to reach inside the opening and remove stuck debris or food remnants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the Rosewood Battersea Rubber Heart, simply insert bite-sized treats into the internal compartment. Ensure the treats are small enough to fall out during active play but large enough to provide a challenge. To clean the toy, use warm water and a mild, pet-safe soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow the toy to air dry completely before refilling it with food. While the toy is compatible with most dogs, it is recommended to inspect the surface regularly for wear and tear; if you notice large chunks of rubber missing or structural weakness, replace the toy immediately to prevent ingestion hazards.
