Using the KONG Squeezz Ball is super easy. For interactive play, you can throw the ball for your dog to fetch. Just aim for an open area, and watch your dog have a blast chasing it. If your dog wants to play solo, simply give the ball to them, and they'll start chewing and playing on their own. When it comes to maintenance, you can wash the ball with mild soap and water every now and then to keep it clean. Just make sure to dry it thoroughly before giving it back to your dog. As for safety, always check the ball for any signs of damage, like cracks or loose parts. If you notice any, it's time to replace the ball to avoid any choking hazards. And remember, even though it's durable, don't let your dog chew on it non - stop. Give them breaks to keep the ball in good condition for longer.
