Do you have any doubt about our dog toys?
At this section you can find answer to the most common questions about usage for our products DogBall and Conic. If you don’t find an answer to your question, please, contact us, and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible.
The DOG BALL has been designed mainly to play with your dog. You can use the DOG BALL both to throw it and to fill it and give it to your pet so that he can lick the filling. If you want her to be entertained longer, freeze it so it takes longer to get the contents out.
Do not make it so difficult for her to empty it, as this can cause frustration and stress.
¡IMPORTANT!
In case of breakage, switch to a higher hardness.
In case of ingestion, consult your veterinarian (natural rubber is neither toxic nor digestible, the most normal thing is that it comes out the same way it went in).
Remember that no toy that cares for you pet’s dental health is undestructible.
For any other questions get in touch with us.
Fill the CONIC and give it to your pet so she can lick the stuffing. If you want her to be entertained longer, freeze it so it takes her longer to get it out. Don’t make it so hard for him that it can’t empty it. This can cause stress and frustation to your dog.
This product has NOT been designed to be at the dog’s full disposal all day, but for sporadic and controlled use when we want it to be entertained. We recommend to remove the toy once it’s empty to prevent incorrect use, as the dog is prone to bite it and get nervous, getting to even break it in some cases.

Depending on its age, size and strength, your pet will need one toy or another.
Medium hardness (orange color) is recommended for most dogs, specially senior dogs and puppies, given their lack of bite strength. Regarding dogs that are 8 months or less, it’s important that toys are not too hard so they don’t press their jaws, given that they’re still developing.
If you consider it appropiate you can switch to a high hardness (purple color) once your dog becomes an adult. This hardness is recommended for high bite strength dogs.
If you still have doubts about which hardness to choose, contact with us and we will help you pick the toy suited for your pet.
Keep into account that no toy is undestructible.
You can fill it with any safe food for your dog (in healthy amounts). However, take into account that you will have to substract the calories from its daily intake.
If you use animal feed:
1- Mix the feed with peanut butter, cottage cheese, banana mash, natural greek iogurt, or any other healthy food that can be served as a paste to keep the feed in place.
2- Cover the small hole with peanut butter. Fill it with some feed and pour melted peanut butter. Add more feed and more melted butter until it is full. Freeze it solid.
3- Put the feed, a bit of water to make it stick to the walls and cover it with a spoon of peanut butter so it doesn’t leave the toy.
4- Wet the feed with water or chicken broth (better to dilute it if it contains high amounts of salt) and leave it swell inside the toy. Seal it with peanut butter or another product and freeze it solid. Take into account that it can wet the floor unce it unfreezes.
If you use wet food:
Canned dog food is one of the best options to fill your toy.
Just remember you will have to substract those extra calorties from its daily intake!
Put the wet food or paste into the toy and freeze it. Just that easy! (If you prefer it or the food is not that dense, you can seal it with peanut butter or another product).
Canned food can be expensive, that’s why we recommend to mix it with animal feed.
If you use liquids:
You can fill your RUCAN toy with liquid and freeze it to favor your dog’s hydration.
Cover the smaller hole with a piece of cold peanut butter. Place the toy in a cup with its biggest opening facing upwards. Fill it with the chosen liquid (water, saltless broth, coconut water, carrot or apple juice, etc…) and put the cup in the freezer until its frozen solid.
Give it to your pet at the exterior, given that the floor will end up wet.
TIP:
Invest in more that one toy. This way you won’t have to prepare the filling that often and you will always have some frozen for emergencies.
- Your dog will enjoy the toy a longer time, being more hard for him to empty it.
- It will be easier to carry wherever you want your dog to use it.
- Your puppy will feel great relief when changing its teeth thanks to the cold.
- It will last days without need to prepare it when needed.
- Your dog will feel refreshed during summer.
Cleaning them is quick and simple, it doesn’t require any special products.
- Rinse it with warm water and dish soap.
- If that doesn’t work, leave it in warm water and soap for some minutes before cleaning it again.
- Use a bottle brush o a theeth brush to clean the exterior.
- You can also place it in the dishwasher without any problem.
As long as you adjust the daily calories, you can give them the filled CONIC to your dog every day.
