To use this dog toy, simply throw it for your dog to fetch. You can also put some of your dog's favorite treats inside the hole in the center to keep them interested and engaged for longer. When playing, make sure there's enough space to avoid any accidental collisions. This toy is weather and water - resistant, but after outdoor play, it's a good idea to rinse it with clean water and let it dry thoroughly. Check the toy regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If there are any large pieces of rubber coming off, it's time to replace the toy to prevent your dog from swallowing them.
