Are the joker cards also dog-themed?

No, the two joker cards feature cat illustrations, not dog portraits.

Can this set be used for professional card games?

Can the cards be washed?

It is not recommended to wash the cards as this can damage the paper and ink. If necessary, gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth.

Troubleshooting

Cards feel sticky or difficult to shuffle

Ensure hands are clean and dry before handling. If new, the cards may need a few shuffles to break in.

Artwork appears faded

This is unlikely with proper care. Ensure cards are stored in their box away from direct sunlight.

Missing cards

Double-check both decks thoroughly. If cards are genuinely missing, contact customer support for assistance.
