Additional Information
Care Instructions
- Rinse After Each Use: Wash the toy with warm water and dish soap after every use to maintain hygiene and remove saliva or treat residue.
- Soak for Stubborn Residue: If dried peanut butter or treats are stuck inside, soak the toy in warm soapy water, then rinse and let it air dry.
- Air Dry Completely: Allow the KONG Puppy to air dry fully before refilling or storing it to prevent moisture buildup inside the hollow cavity.

- Choose the Bigger Size When Unsure: If your puppy is between sizes or you’re not sure which one fits best, choose the larger size for safer play.
