How to Use

Usage Instructions 

• Stuff With Treats: Fill the hollow interior and Denta-Ridges with KONG Puppy Easy Treat paste, Puppy Snacks, Puppy Ziggies, kibble, or xylitol-free peanut butter to create an engaging and rewarding challenge.
• Start Loosely: For puppies new to the toy, stuff the treats loosely so they can access rewards easily; gradually increase difficulty as your puppy becomes more experienced.
• Freeze for Longer Play: Place the stuffed toy in the freezer for a more extended chew session that keeps your puppy occupied.
• Use for Fetch: Toss the ball to encourage active play and exercise; the unpredictable bounce adds an extra element of excitement during fetch games with your puppy.

Additional Information 

Care Instructions 

• Rinse After Play: After your puppy has had fun, rinse the toy with warm water and a little mild dish soap.
• Tackle Stubborn Treats: If peanut butter or other treats get stuck, let the toy soak in warm, soapy water for a while. Then gently scrub with a brush to get every little bit out.
• Dishwasher Friendly: You can put the toy on the top rack of your dishwasher for a deeper clean. Skip the heated drying cycle, though, too much heat can wear out the rubber over time.

Safety Instructions

• Not for Dogs Over 9 Months: The puppy rubber is softer and designed for baby teeth; using this toy with adult dogs or strong chewers may compromise its durability and pose a hazard.
• Supervise During Play: No dog toy is indestructible; always supervise your puppy during playtime, especially when the toy is being used for the first time.
• Replace When Worn: Discard and replace the toy immediately if pieces begin to break off or if the rubber shows significant wear to reduce the risk of choking.
• Choose Xylitol-Free Fillings: If using peanut butter as a stuffing, always confirm it does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs and must be avoided at all times.
