Product Information
Full details
The KONG Ball with Hole is an ideal toy for active dogs and average chewers who need both physical exercise and mental engagement. Its durable, natural rubber construction provides a satisfyingly high bounce for fetch games, while the innovative center cavity allows owners to stuff it with treats for long-lasting enrichment. While it is built to withstand vigorous play, it is specifically designed for average chewers rather than aggressive or extreme destroyers.

FAQs
Is this toy safe for aggressive chewers?
No, this ball is specifically designed for average chewers. Aggressive chewers should use KONG Extreme rubber products.
Can I put this in the dishwasher with high heat?
No, please avoid the heat cycle as the high temperatures can damage the natural rubber composition.
What size dog is the Large size intended for?
The Large size is generally recommended for medium to large dog breeds that can comfortably carry the ball in their mouths.
What materials is the ball made of?
It is made of high-quality, durable natural KONG rubber, produced in the USA with globally sourced materials.
Can I use peanut butter as a filling?
Yes, peanut butter is an excellent filling. Just ensure the peanut butter does not contain Xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
Is the ball hollow all the way through?
The ball features a specialized center hole designed for holding treats, rather than being completely hollow.
Troubleshooting
Treats are getting stuck and are hard to remove during cleaning.
Soak the ball in warm water for 10 minutes to soften the residue, then use a bottle brush to scrub the interior cavity.
My dog is losing interest in the ball.
Try changing the type of treats used in the center to keep the reward exciting, or introduce the ball only during specific supervised playtimes to increase its perceived value.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have chosen the appropriate size for your dog; the Large size is best suited for medium to large breeds. When filling the toy, use substances that are easily digestible and safe for canine consumption.
Care instructions are straightforward: after every play session, inspect the ball for any signs of damage. To clean, rinse with warm soapy water or place it on the top rack of your dishwasher. Note that you must avoid the dishwasher heat-dry cycle to preserve the integrity of the natural rubber. Always allow the toy to air dry completely before stuffing it with new treats to prevent moisture buildup inside the cavity.
