Shop Kong Squeakair Ball with Rope Dog Fetch Toy (Medium)

Non-Abrasive Tennis Ball with Squeaker and Rope for Tug and Fetch

Product Description

The KONG SqueakAir Ball with Rope combines three classic dog play experiences in one toy: the bounce and feel of a tennis ball, the audio reward of a squeaker, and the grip of a rope for tug-of-war. The non-abrasive felt exterior is gentler on teeth and gums than standard tennis ball felt, making extended fetch and chewing safer over time. The rope attachment extends from the ball for interactive tugging and easy throwing.

Features

• Non-abrasive felt exterior
• Built-in squeaker
• Rope attachment for tug play
• Erratic bounce
• Can be used in water

Benefits

• Non-Abrasive Felt Protects Teeth: The special felt covering is less abrasive than the rough felt on standard tennis balls.
• Squeaker Extends Play: The built-in squeaker produces a sound with every bite and squeeze, rewarding your dog with audio feedback.
• Rope for Tug and Throwing: The rope attachment gives you a grip point for throwing further and more accurately, and gives both you and your dog a clear handle for back-and-forth tug-of-war sessions.
• Three Play Styles in One Toy: Fetch, tug-of-war, and squeaking are all naturally supported by this toy's design, making it versatile across dogs with different plays.
• Erratic Bounce Keeps Dogs Engaged: The ball bounces unpredictably on each land, keeping dogs reacting and chasing rather than anticipating exactly where the ball is going after each throw.

Specifications

Materials Used 

Non-abrasive felt, plastic squeaker, and cotton rope.

How to Use

Usage Instructions  

• Hold the rope for throwing: Grip the rope and swing it to throw the ball further and with more control than gripping the ball directly.
• Let your dog squeak it: Once your dog retrieves the ball, let them bite and squeeze it to find the squeaker.
• Use for tug: Hold the rope while your dog grabs the ball or the rope end for back-and-forth tug-of-war; the rope keeps hands and mouths well apart during the game.
• Use in shallow water: Toss the ball into a pool or shallow water for a water retrieve game; be aware that if water enters through the rope holes, the ball may lose some buoyancy.

Additional Information

Care Instructions   

• Hand wash only: Wash the ball and rope with soap and water by hand.
• Do not machine wash or dry: Avoid washing machines and dryers as both can damage the felt exterior, the squeaker mechanism, and the rope attachment over time.
• Inspect the rope regularly: Check the rope before each session for fraying, shortening, or loosening at the ball attachment point.
• Dry fully after water use: After any pool or water session, let the ball and rope air dry fully to prevent moisture.

Safety Instructions  

• Supervised use only: Always watch your dog during play; discontinue use and replace the toy if the felt tears.
• Remove all tags before play: Remove all tags and packaging attachments before giving the Squeakair Ball toy to your dog to eliminate any choking hazard.
• Not for aggressive chewers: This is a fetch and tug toy, not a dedicated chew toy.
• Not a children's toy: This is a pet toy intended for dogs only; keep it away from young children who may put the ball or rope in their mouths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How is this different from a standard tennis ball?

Ans: The felt on standard tennis balls is rough and abrasive, which can gradually wear down enamel over years of regular chewing. The felt on this ball is specifically non-abrasive, making it gentler on teeth and gums during both fetch and chewing. It also has a built-in squeaker and an attached rope, neither of which a standard tennis ball has.

Q2: Does the rope make it easier to throw?

Ans: Yes. Holding the rope and swinging it before you let go gives you more distance and a cleaner throw than gripping the ball itself. The rope just gives you better leverage, so the ball goes further without any extra effort on your part.

Q3: Can this ball be used in water?

Ans: Yes, it can be tossed into a pool or shallow water for retrieval. However, if water enters through the holes where the rope attaches to the ball, it can reduce buoyancy and the squeaker may not function properly while wet.

Q4: Does the squeaker continue working after the ball gets wet?

Ans: Water can get in through the rope holes and temporarily stop the squeaker from working. Once the inside dries out it usually comes back. It works fine in water now and then, but land fetch is where it performs best consistently.

Q5: Is this toy good for tug-of-war?

Ans: Yes. The rope extends from the ball and gives both dog and owner a clear grip point for tug-of-war without hands getting close to the dog's mouth. It's a practical tug setup compared to toys without an attachment, and the rope length gives enough distance to play safely.

Q6: How do I clean this toy?

Ans: Hand wash with soap and warm water, rinse properly, and let it air dry completely before the next session. Do not put it in a washing machine or dryer since both can damage the felt, the squeaker, and the rope. After water sessions, let it air dry fully before putting it away.
