Although the Ark chew tools are sturdy and durable, no chew tool is indestructible. Some individuals particularly those with strong oral sensory needs or who chew aggressively may be able to damage them in a short period of time. The lifespan of each tool depends on a variety of factors, including individual chewing intensity and whether the user is receiving support from an occupational therapist.
Please supervise use at all times and replace the item if it shows signs of wear and tear. We are unable to offer refunds for chews that have been used. Finding the right chew is often a process of trial and error—please contact us for help and advice.
