Product Information
Full details
The KONG AirDog Squeaker Bone is an ideal choice for active dogs and pet owners seeking an interactive fetch toy that combines the classic feel of a tennis ball with an engaging internal squeaker. Designed with durable, non-abrasive felt, it is gentle on a dog's teeth and gums during extended play sessions. While it is perfect for high-energy games at the park or beach due to its ability to float, it is primarily intended for supervised play rather than as a long-term chew toy for heavy shredders.

FAQs
Is the KONG AirDog Squeaker Bone safe for heavy chewers?
No, this toy is designed primarily for fetch and interactive play. It is not intended to withstand heavy chewing or shredding.
Can I put this toy in the washing machine?
Hand washing is recommended to maintain the integrity of the squeaker and the fabric structure.
Will the squeaker hurt my dog's teeth?
The squeaker is safely recessed within the rubber core, so it does not come into direct contact with the dog's teeth during play.
Does this toy float?
Yes, it is designed to float, making it an excellent choice for water-based fetch.
How do I know if the medium size is right for my dog?
The medium size is 15.9 cm long. It should be large enough that the dog cannot swallow it whole, but small enough to carry comfortably.
Is the material safe for my dog's gums?
Yes, it is made from a non-abrasive felt designed specifically to be gentler on teeth and gums than traditional tennis ball material.
Troubleshooting
The squeaker has stopped making sound
This is often due to debris or moisture buildup inside the squeaker cavity. Try rinsing the toy thoroughly and letting it dry completely, or check for fabric blockages near the squeaker hole.
Dog is losing interest in the toy
Rotate the toy with others to keep it as a 'novel' item, or use it exclusively during high-reward training sessions to associate the toy with positive interaction.
