Frequently asked questions
Everything about choosing an object for your animal, and everything about getting it to your door. If the answer you need is not here, write to us at support@truffio.com and we will reply within one business day.
Which toy should I start with if my cat is alone all day?
Start with something that moves on its own. The Automatic Rolling LED Cat Ball drives itself across the floor and changes direction at random, and the Smart Rolling Cat Chase Ball has enough torque to climb from tile onto carpet. If your cat has stopped noticing its toy basket entirely, the 9-Hole Cat Hide And Seek Toy resets the hunt every time a paw goes in.
What works best for a dog that gets bored while I am at work?
Nose work, not more toys. Fifteen minutes on the Large Snuffle Mat tires a dog out more than a walk does, and the Interactive Dog Puzzle Slow Feeder turns one meal into twenty minutes of thinking. The Rolling Treat Dispenser and the Wobble Treat Dispenser both keep working long after you have left the room, because they run on your dog's own energy.
Do the powered toys really work when nobody is home?
Yes, and they are built to pace themselves. The Automatic Rotating Laser Cat Toy sweeps for fifteen minutes, then sleeps for an hour and a half before starting again, so your cat gets several short bursts through the day instead of one long one. The Smart Rolling Cat Chase Ball runs for five minutes, sleeps if nobody is interested, then wakes every couple of hours to try again.
Is it safe to leave my pet with these unsupervised?
Watch the first few sessions with any new toy so you know how your animal plays with it, then check it over every couple of weeks and retire anything that has been chewed through. Mats, bowls, puzzles and the feeder are designed to be left out. Toys with a cord, a feather or small detachable parts are best kept for play you are present for.
Do they need batteries or charging?
The motorised toys charge over USB and a cable is included. The Automatic Rolling LED Cat Ball gives roughly four hours of play on a charge. The mats, puzzle bowls, treat dispensers and scratch pads need no power at all. The Smart WiFi Automatic Pet Feeder plugs in and holds your schedule.
My dog inhales their food. Can you help with that?
That is exactly what the feeding range is for. The Slow Feeder Dog Puzzle Bowl spreads a thirty second meal across twelve compartments and three centre wedges with sliding lids, which stretches it to about fifteen minutes and stops the gulping that makes dogs swallow air. For a dog that needs more of a challenge, use the Interactive Dog Puzzle Slow Feeder instead.
What does shipping cost and how long does it take?
Standard shipping is $8 and arrives 5 to 10 business days after dispatch. Express is $15 and arrives 2 to 5 business days after dispatch. Standard shipping is free on every order over $70. Orders are prepared within 1 to 3 business days before they ship.
Where do you ship to?
We ship to the United States and France. If you are ordering from anywhere else, write to us at support@truffio.com and we will let you know when your country goes live.
Can I change my address after I have ordered?
Usually, if you tell us quickly. Email us with your name and order number as soon as you spot the mistake and we will try to catch the parcel before it is picked. Once it has left the warehouse the address is fixed and the carrier controls it.
Will everything arrive in one parcel?
Not always. Larger orders are sometimes packed across more than one parcel and can arrive a day or two apart. Each parcel gets its own tracking number, so nothing is missing if the first box looks short.
How do I track my order?
You get a tracking number by email as soon as your parcel is dispatched. Scans can take up to 48 hours to start appearing, so a quiet tracking page on day one is normal. If it has not moved five business days after you received it, email us and we will chase the carrier.
What is your returns policy?
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return. The item needs to be unused, in its original packaging, with proof of purchase. Email us to start one and we will send a return label and instructions. Items sent back without requesting a return first cannot be accepted.
Something arrived damaged or the wrong item came. What now?
Send us a photo within 30 days of delivery along with your order number and we will replace it or refund it. You do not need to send a damaged item back before we sort it out.
How quickly do you reply?
Within one business day, by email, at support@truffio.com. We answer messages in the order they arrive.
