Full details
The Bark Cup Kate Dog Toy is a versatile multi-purpose plaything designed for active dogs who enjoy both shredding and interactive treat-based play.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the toy for treat-based play, simply smear your dog's favorite spreadable treat into the center rubber core. If you find the toy gets messy, it can be hand-washed with mild soap and warm water; ensure the inner cavity is thoroughly rinsed and dried to prevent any residue buildup. While the natural rubber is durable, always inspect the toy after play sessions. If you notice any large chunks or deep tears in the rubber, it is time to retire the toy to ensure your dog's safety.
