Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe down plastic surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners. For plush toys, surface clean only.

- Storage: Store the Veterinary Center in a dry, clean place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Keep all small accessories together to avoid loss.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the toy for any loose parts, damage, or wear. Tighten any loose screws if necessary. Discontinue use if significant damage is observed.
