KONG Ballistic Durable Squeaker Dog Toy - Giraffe

While the Ballistic Giraffe is reinforced with ripstop material, it is not designed to be an indestructible chew toy. It is best suited for fetch and shake-based play.

It is recommended to supervise your dog during play, especially until you know how they interact with the reinforced fabric.

Use a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe soap to spot clean. Avoid submerging in water or using a machine dryer.

Yes, the elongated shape makes it easy to carry for most dog breeds, though large dogs should be monitored more closely during play.

If you notice the toy becoming damaged to the point where internal components like the bell or squeaker are exposed, immediately remove the toy to prevent ingestion.

The reinforced stitching makes it capable of light tugging, but it is primarily designed as a shaking and fetch toy.

Try adding a fresh scent or rotating the toy out of the rotation for a few days to make it feel 'new' again.

Squeakers are mechanical parts that can wear out; check if the internal air passage is blocked by fabric, or accept it as a silent toy for quieter play.

If the tear is minor, you can reinforce it with heavy-duty thread, but if the stuffing begins to pull out, the toy should be retired for safety.
