The Customer Service department of Nintendo in Japan has issued a warning to customers using the Nintendo Switch to keep the console and accessories, including joy-cons, away from pets. They stated that pet saliva and urine can damage the devices due to excessive moisture.
Perhaps at this point, readers may wonder if we should already be keeping gaming devices and controllers away from pets, given previous reports of dogs chewing on joy-cons until they break. Therefore, Nintendo’s current warning may be a good sign of awareness.
Nintendo has reported that they may release a new model of the Switch within the next year. It remains to be seen if the device will withstand pets’ paws and jaws better.
