Product Information
Full details
The KONG Bunji Ball is an ideal fetch toy for active dogs and their owners who enjoy extended outdoor play sessions. Its key benefit lies in the ergonomic bungee cord that enables long-distance throwing with minimal shoulder strain, while the high-visibility design and glow-in-the-dark features ensure visibility in any environment. One caveat is that the toy requires a brief charging period under light to activate the glow functionality, meaning it is best suited for pre-planned evening excursions rather than spontaneous play.

FAQs
Is this toy safe for heavy chewers?
The KONG Bunji Ball is designed primarily for interactive fetch play. It is not intended for use as a chew toy, and supervision is recommended.
How long does the glow last?
After a full 15-20 minute charge, the glow is typically brightest for the first 30-60 minutes, gradually fading afterward.
Can I use this in saltwater?
Yes, but be sure to rinse the ball with fresh water thoroughly after use to prevent salt buildup on the rubber.
What should I do if the bungee cord snaps?
For safety reasons, if the bungee cord is compromised or frayed, the toy should be retired from use.
Is the ball size suitable for all dog breeds?
The Large variant is generally best for medium to large breeds. Always ensure the toy is large enough so it cannot be accidentally swallowed.
Troubleshooting
The ball is not glowing in the dark.
Ensure the ball has been charged under direct sunlight or a bright lamp for a full 15-20 minutes immediately before use.
The ball does not bounce as expected.
The ball's bounce is designed to be unpredictable due to the raised ridges; ensure it is being thrown on a hard, flat surface to see the full effect.
The bungee cord feels less springy.
Check the cord for sand or debris trapped in the connection points. Rinse with water and allow to dry thoroughly to restore elasticity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your KONG Bunji Ball lasts through many seasons of play, follow these care instructions:
- Glow Activation: Place the toy in direct sunlight or under a bright lamp for 15-20 minutes before use to ensure maximum luminescence.
- Cleaning: After water play, rinse the ball with fresh water to remove sand, salt, or mud. The rubber material can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
- Storage: Store the toy in a dry, shaded area when not in use to maintain the integrity of the bungee cord and the rubber surface.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the bungee cord and the ball for signs of wear, such as fraying or deep punctures. If the cord becomes severely frayed, it is time to replace the toy to maintain safe throwing mechanics.
