Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How do I load treats into the PetPals Grilled Fish toy?
Ans: Open the top hatch on the campfire base and pour up to ½ cup of dry kibble or small treats into the chamber. Ensure treats are appropriately sized to flow through the adjustable silicone valve opening.
Q2: Can I adjust how fast treats are dispensed during play?
Ans: Yes. The silicone valve slides to create different opening sizes, allowing you to control treat flow from slow dispensing for extended play to faster release for more immediate gratification and engagement.
Q3: Is the rotating fish mechanism durable enough for aggressive players?
Ans: The fish features a high-quality ABS plastic housing with a polyester plush exterior designed to withstand normal indoor cat play. However, supervise vigorous players and discontinue use if the plastic cracks or the mechanism binds.
Q4: How do I clean the toy after my cat has used it?
Ans: Disassemble the fish and silicone valve components. Hand wash all parts in warm, soapy water and air dry completely. Avoid dishwashers to preserve material integrity and prevent damage to rotating mechanisms.
Q5: What size treats work best with this interactive toy?
Ans: Small dry kibble pieces or treats up to ¼ inch in diameter work optimally. Avoid large treats that might jam the dispensing mechanism or create choking hazards during active play sessions.

If a destination, shipping service, or product is not eligible for delivery, checkout will not offer that shipping option.

Orders are generally processed within 1–5 business days before shipment. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time.
Our order cut-off time is 6:00 PM Pacific Time (PT). Orders placed after the cut-off time, on weekends, or on applicable holidays begin processing on the next business day.
Processing may include order verification and preparation for shipment.

We ship to eligible international destinations. Available international shipping services, shipping charges, and estimated delivery times vary by destination and are displayed at checkout.
For eligible international orders, applicable import duties and taxes are calculated and collected at checkout where required. When these charges apply, the order is shipped on a duties-and-taxes-paid basis so that the same import charges should not be collected again at delivery.
International delivery estimates may be affected by carrier operations, customs processing, local holidays, weather, or other events outside normal transit conditions.
5. Tracking
When tracking is available, you will receive shipment confirmation with tracking information after the order has shipped. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active after the carrier receives the shipment.
6. Address Accuracy and Changes
Please review your shipping address carefully before submitting an order. If you notice an address error, contact us as soon as possible. We will try to help before shipment, but an address change cannot be guaranteed once fulfillment or carrier processing has begun.
Additional carrier or re-delivery charges resulting from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.
7. Delayed or Lost Shipments
If your shipment has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please contact us. We will review the tracking information, work with the carrier when necessary, and assist with an appropriate resolution based on the circumstances.
Delivery estimates are not guarantees and may be affected by carrier delays, weather, public holidays, customs processing, or other transportation disruptions.

Products that show use, alteration, avoidable damage, missing components, or other conditions outside the eligibility requirements may be ineligible for a refund.
3. Product-Specific Non-Returnable Items
Some products may be non-returnable for hygiene, safety, customization, final-sale, or other product-specific reasons. Any such restriction will be disclosed on the product page or before purchase when applicable.

If the return is required because the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect and the claim is approved, we cover the return-label cost.
If you choose not to use the provided label when an alternative return method is authorized, use a trackable shipping service and keep your shipping receipt until the return is completed.
