Product Information
Full details
The KONG Twistz Hi-Viz Ball is designed for active pet owners seeking a versatile fetch toy that performs in diverse environments, from snowy fields to swimming pools. Its primary benefit lies in its exceptional visibility, featuring high-contrast colors and integrated glow-in-the-dark technology to ensure play can continue from sunrise to late evening. While the durable construction stands up to vigorous outdoor sessions, users should note that the ball is intended for interactive fetch rather than as a heavy-duty chew toy for intense gnawing.

FAQs
Is the KONG Twistz Hi-Viz Ball suitable for heavy chewers?
No, this toy is specifically designed for fetch and retrieve play. It is not intended for unsupervised chewing or sessions with aggressive biters.
Does the ball need batteries for the glow effect?
No, it utilizes photo-luminescent technology that requires only exposure to a light source to 'charge' the glow.
Can I use this ball in a saltwater pool?
Yes, but be sure to rinse the ball thoroughly with fresh water after use to preserve the material.
Is this the right size for my dog?
The Large size is designed for medium-to-large breed dogs. Ensure the ball is large enough that it cannot be accidentally swallowed.
How long does the glow last?
The duration of the glow depends on the intensity and length of light exposure, typically lasting for the duration of a standard evening play session.
Troubleshooting
The ball does not glow in the dark
Ensure the ball was exposed to direct, bright light for at least 15-20 minutes before use. Weak light sources will result in a dim glow.
The ball is becoming difficult to see in water
Rinse the ball to remove accumulated algae or debris that may be masking the high-visibility colors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the glow-in-the-dark effect, expose the ball to direct light sources for at least 15 to 20 minutes before heading out at night. To maintain the ball, rinse it with fresh water after use in salt or chlorinated water to prevent residue buildup. While the materials are durable, inspect the toy regularly for signs of wear or damage. If the surface becomes heavily compromised, remove it from play to prevent accidental ingestion of debris. Store the ball in a cool, dry place away from extreme heat when not in use.
