I bet the dogs hate when you wash their toys! They are probably thinking, "Do you know how long it took me to get it perfectly seasoned like that?!" I never need to wash my dog's stuffed toys. They tear out the stuffing and then I throw them out. (The toys, not the dogs.) I get their stuffed toys at the Goodwill or local thrift store for 25 cents to a dollar per toy. I pick out the ugly ones that no kid would want, but the dogs love.
