Using this KONG SqueakAir Ball is easy. Just throw it, and watch your dog run after it and bring it back for more fun. It's perfect for outdoor or indoor fetch games. When it comes to safety, always keep an eye on your dog while they're playing with the ball. Make sure to take off all the packaging before your dog starts playing. This toy is meant for light to moderate chewing. If your dog is a heavy chewer, it might get damaged quickly, so you can try KONG rubber toys instead. If the ball gets dirty, you can wash it with mild soap and water. And if you notice any signs of damage, like tears or loose parts, stop using it right away to keep your dog safe.
