Please Note
As a natural product sourced from the sea, occasional traces of foreign material may remain despite thorough cleaning. Due to the porous nature of the shells, a mild natural aroma may occasionally be present when first opened. This will typically dissipate after exposure to fresh air and will not affect the product's performance.
By choosing recycled shell products, you are helping to support the reuse of materials that would otherwise become waste within the UK fishing industry.
Important Information
Pet Advisory
As a natural seafood by-product, the shells may attract the attention of some pets when first opened. It is recommended that pets are supervised during initial use and discouraged from eating the shells. While most animals quickly lose interest once the shells are in place, consuming them may cause digestive upset, vomiting, or stomach discomfort in some pets. If a significant quantity is ingested, veterinary advice should be sought.
