Using your Kong Classic Red Dog Toy is a breeze. First, if you want to extend playtime, fill the toy with your dog's favorite kibble pieces. A little peanut butter can be added inside for an extra enticing smell and taste. You can also include Kong Snacks and top it with Kong Easy Treat. When your dog plays with it, the erratic bounce of the toy will keep them entertained. As for maintenance, you can wash the toy with mild soap and water regularly to keep it clean. Make sure to check the toy often for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice large chunks of rubber missing or significant damage, it's time to replace the toy to keep your dog safe.
