I just opened the box, excited to set it up for my dog, but there is fur and treat residue on it!
This has clearly been used by someone else, but no care was even taken to make sure it was clean!
Hopefully the original dog for whom this product was bought doesn't have any contagious illnesses!! Canine parvovirus, for example, cannot be killed by normal dishwasher or laundry temperatures, and the toy is not rated for the stringent sterilization that would be required to make sure it's safe.
I will be returning this, 100%. I'm extremely disappointed, as I was excited for my dog to try out the rod board.
