Using this Nylabone dog toy is easy. Just toss it for your dog to chase and retrieve, whether you're in the yard or inside your home. It's great for solo play too - your dog can gnaw on it and make the squeaker sound. When using, always supervise your dog to make sure they don't accidentally swallow parts of the toy. For maintenance, you can wash it with mild soap and water regularly to keep it clean. If the toy shows signs of excessive wear, it's time to get a new one to keep your dog safe.
