Can you freeze this toy like Kong and is it easy to wash?

I have never done either. The dog washes it very well with it's tongue if you know what I mean. The material the squirrel is made out of is rubber not plastic . I like the squirrel better because of the inside cavity where treats can be stored.

I've never froze Kong but it is easy to wash. I put kibble in mine with cold peanut butter and my dogs go crazy for it.

I have put it in the dishwasher.The little tabs on the hole make it unnecessary to freeze the treats inside, unless you want them to last longer. I just use dog food kibble. But it would probably freeze just fine.

Yes, I use Honest Kitchen dehydrated dog food, reconstitute it with warm water, and spoon it into the Squirrel Dude and freeze! I did cut the little tabs since I was using food that has an oatmeal-like consistency and freezing it, and to make it easier to wash. I use a bottle washer to plunge into these and Kongs both. I have found that these can be easier to pick up by both myself and the dogs because of their added texture and the surface isn't as slippery when slobbered on. :)

These can be washed on the top shelf of the dishwasher, just like the Classic Kong.

I don't see why you couldn't put it in the freezer--it's made of a material not that different from what Kong is made of but isn't quite as thick (they hold up really well, though). It's not as easy to wash the inside as it is with a Kong, but you can run plenty of hot soapy water through it easily enough (you just can't get more than maybe a finger or two inside to try to scrub).

I understand from the instructions that you can, and it looks sturdy enough to hold up. I haven't needed to wash it yet, so I can't report how it held up in the wash. I am still very pleased with the functionality if this toy.

I bought the medium/large trays for the medium sized Kong toy. The frozen treats are the size of the interior of the Kong toy when you place 2 treats with their flat sides together. It's important to note that you should only fill the trays not quite to the top or it will be difficult to make the treats fit inside the toy. To clean the interior of the Kong toy of a any food bits, I have found a baby bottle brush (the thin end) to be helpful. Most Dollar Tree stores sell them.

I rinsed mine out with cold water before using but I don't wash them ever. I just take the frozen balls out and add new water and re freeze. I don't have any problems with mine. Don't wash with soap or hot water. Don't wash at all

I've owned this little guy for 3 years. I washed him on gentle, cold, by himself at least twice and haven't had any issues. I do let him air-dry, though. The fur will be a slightly different texture after he comes out but it's not bad.

The hard ones could probably go in the dishwasher. I just washed them by hand. The stuffed hanging toys can go in the washing machine (from my experience). I don't know what the product advises on how to clean the toys, but they held up to washing machine washes, hang to dry, and hand washings. :)

I haven't washer mine yet. When I do wash it, I'll put it in a bucket with cold water and some mild soap, and swish it around. Air dry. It'll be fine.

It's easy to wash the outside of the toy, but difficult to wash inside where the treats go.

I don't think the whole pillow is washable....there's a small zipper on the handle side where you can remove the stuffing & then wash the pillow itself....the stuffing looks like polyester clumps...I wouldn't want to try to takeout the filler to wash the pillow & expect to put it back & still be the same shape

I find that it washes pretty well if washed on gently and cool and dried and a very low heat for quite a while. If its not completely dry it will get mildewy. He stays soft and cuddly.

I rinse mine off after every use and allow to 'air dry'. I might suggest that if you really have to 'clean' the toy, soak it in warm water then it should be easy to use a paper towel to get into all the nooks and get it clean. I would then just be sure to rinse it with warm water after every use. Hope this helps.

Yes very easy and it doesn't dry out like other play doh. After 2 months we are still very happy with it.

No, it has a texture that dog hair doesn't stick to. It isn't squishy either per say. It is not hard but you can only put pressure on the ball so much, it does not fully collapse. Only a little bit, if that makes sense. This is a great set, they are easy to wash and only one of them seems to have a hole in it where water can collect and that is the smallish blue one.

I did not use frozen meats from the freezer and i always washed it by hand. It's non stick so fairly easy to clean with warm soapy water or warm water with a soapy sponge.

I have not used this particular one to freeze treats, but I have used others. They are very easy to remove them. I think the last one I had dedicated to frozen treats lasted about 7 years. Hope that helps!

You can leave it in the freezer all the time and it will not freeze solid. It stays soft and pliable. Do put it in a plastic freezer bag.

You can throw it in the wash, but I usually just run pacifier part under hot water.
