Using this KONG reindeer dog toy is a breeze. You can throw it for your dog to fetch, shake it to make the squeaker sound and get your dog excited, or engage in a tug - of - war. For outdoor play, just make sure there aren't any sharp objects around that could damage the toy. When it comes to cleaning, a quick wash with mild soap and water will do the trick. Keep it dry before giving it back to your dog. Don't let your dog chew on it too aggressively as it might cause the toy to break. If you notice any signs of wear and tear, it's best to replace it to keep your dog safe.
