Product Information
Full details
The KONG Ball is an essential fetch-and-chew toy designed for medium to large dog breeds who require durable stimulation. Crafted from the same iconic natural rubber as the classic KONG, this toy offers an unpredictable bounce for interactive play and a center cavity for treat stuffing, making it perfect for active engagement; however, potential buyers should note that its heavy-duty construction may be too large or dense for small puppy breeds.

FAQs
Is this toy safe for aggressive chewers?

What is the diameter of this toy?
The KONG Ball Medium/Large measures 7.5cm in diameter.
Can I put this in the freezer?

How do I clean the inside of the ball?
You can use a small bottle brush or simply place it in the top rack of your dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.
Is it safe for indoor use?
While the rubber is sturdy, the ball is bouncy and can be noisy on hardwood floors, so consider the play environment accordingly.
What kind of treats should I use?
You can use kibble, soft dog treats, canned food, or KONG-specific pastes, provided they are safe for your dog's diet.
Troubleshooting

Use smaller bits of kibble or a thinner consistency of treat paste to make the reward easier to extract.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required for the KONG Ball. To prepare it for use, simply wash it in warm, soapy water before the first session. When stuffing the center, ensure you use ingredients safe for canine consumption. For maintenance, rinse the ball under running water after treat-play to prevent residue buildup inside the core. The ball is top-rack dishwasher safe, which makes sanitation effortless after messy sessions with pastes or wet food. Always inspect the toy periodically for signs of excessive wear or cracking, and replace it if the structural integrity appears compromised.
