You can stuff it with treats, adding an extra attraction for your pet. Puppyhood is the best time to safely and positively introduce toys that match your puppy's character and play style. For young dogs, this is a challenging period due to teething. Puppies have 28 baby teeth that can cause discomfort as they emerge. Chewing on the soft rubber of the KONG Puppy ball helps alleviate teething pain. Provide your puppy with appropriate chewing toys to help establish good chewing habits for the future. For over 40 years, dogs around the world have known that every KONG toy enriches their lives. It is important for your dog to be happy and healthy.

Serving meals with KONG helps control your dog's weight. KONG slows down eating while providing a satisfying mental and physical challenge for your dog. Ideal for food-loving dogs.

How to choose the right size KONG Puppy Ball: The size of the KONG ball should be based on the weight of the adult dog, but this is a guideline. If you are unsure which size KONG Ball to choose, always opt for the larger one. Available sizes: S, M/L.
KONG Ball size: Ball diameter (cm): For dogs weighing (kg):
S 6.35 up to 16
M/L 7.62 13-30
What to stuff the KONG ball with: Dog peanut butter and treats, homemade stuffing, or KONG treats and paste. You can also use wet food, cooked pumpkin, or mashed bananas. Challenge your pet further and extend playtime - place KONG in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours before giving it to your dog.
How to start: Show the KONG to your puppy. Present it with an excited voice. Do not give the ball to the dog immediately - let it be a hard-to-get reward for a while. Encourage and draw your dog's attention to the tasty treats inside. Throw the toy for your pet.
How to clean KONG: It's simple: all KONG rubber toys can be washed in the dishwasher, on the top rack. Any dried remnants of treats inside the toy can be easily removed with a bottle brush if soaked beforehand. You can use dish soap.
Remember: The KONG ball is designed with safety in mind, but no dog toy is indestructible. Watch how your dog plays until you are confident you can leave your pet alone with KONG. Regularly bend and check the ball for cracks. Discard worn and damaged KONGs immediately.
Tip: When your dog's teeth are fully developed (around 9 months old), switch the KONG Puppy Ball for the KONG Classic Ball (suitable for most breeds) or the KONG Extreme Ball (for power chewers) depending on their chewing style.
