Using your KONG Puppy Tire dog toy is easy. First, remove all the packaging. You can stuff the inner track with your puppy's favorite treats. This will not only give your puppy a mental challenge but also teach them good chewing habits. If you want to make it more fun, freeze the toy. The cold rubber can soothe your puppy's teething gums. When playing with your puppy, always keep an eye on them. This toy is for puppies under 9 months old, so once your puppy is over 9 months, it's time to switch to a larger toy. If you notice any damage to the toy, stop using it right away. To keep the toy in good condition, wash it regularly with mild soap and water.
