Monitor Chewing: Normal nibbling is expected, but remove the toy if large splinters or loose pieces appear that could pose risks.

Avoid Overfilling: Do not pack treats so tightly that pets must use excessive force to remove them, reducing potential frustration or damage.

Use Appropriate Treats: Only use species-suitable, dry treats or food items that will not spoil quickly inside the house.
