International shipments may also be subject to customs clearance procedures that can cause delivery delays beyond original estimates. Wholeful Pet does not control and is not responsible for customs processing or delays.
While no device can replace a natural nursing mother, Surro-nursers are designed to support orphaned or neonatal animals by encouraging a more natural nursing posture and experience.
Wholeful Pet makes no guarantee that any animal will immediately accept or successfully nurse from a Surro-nurser. Some animals may require caregiver assistance, patience, or acclimation, particularly animals previously accustomed to bottle feeding.
Wholeful Pet makes no medical, veterinary, or performance guarantees regarding outcomes, feeding success, growth, or health.
All animals must be continuously supervised while using any Surro-nurser.
Surro-nursers are not toys. Animals should not be permitted to chew on teats or any components. Surro-nursers are not intended to replace human supervision.
Use of any Product by an animal with a known medical condition should be discussed with a licensed veterinarian prior to use. Improper use may result in injury or damage and will void any applicable warranty.
Surro-nursers are made from machine-washable materials. Products may be washed in a standard washing machine and tumble dried on a low heat setting.
Do not iron. Do not use bleach. Remove all electronic or mechanical components prior to washing. Products contain metal grommets and must never be placed in a microwave or oven.
Failure to follow care instructions may result in damage to the Product and void warranty coverage.
Wholeful Pet provides a limited one-year warranty from the date of delivery covering defects in materials or workmanship resulting from initial construction quality.
This warranty does not cover damage resulting from misuse, abuse, improper care, modification, normal wear and tear, animal chewing or destruction of components, or failure to follow care and safety instructions.
At Wholeful Pet’s discretion, valid warranty claims may result in repair or replacement of the Product. Refunds are not guaranteed under warranty claims.
