Is the KONG Extreme Ball safe for aggressive chewers?

It is built from KONG's toughest Extreme rubber and handles heavy chewing far better than standard balls. No rubber toy is indestructible, so supervise very determined chewers and replace it once it shows deep cuts.

What size is it, and does it suit small dogs?

It is a solid ball roughly the size of a standard fetch ball. Its weight and firm rubber suit medium and large dogs better than small dogs or puppies.

Can it be used as a chew toy, not just for fetch?

It works for both, but it is designed mainly for fetch and active play. For dedicated chewing, KONG's Extreme chew shapes give dogs more to grip.

The solid Extreme rubber is dense, so it does not float reliably. Keep water fetch to floating toys.

How does it compare with a tennis ball?

It is heavier, firmer and far more puncture resistant, with no felt to tear off. Tennis balls bounce more softly and are easier on small mouths.

Rinse it with warm water and mild soap, then let it dry. The solid rubber has no seams or fabric to trap dirt.

About the Kong Extreme Ball Toy For Dogs

The Kong Extreme Ball is a fetch toy for dogs. It is made from KONG Extreme rubber and has a solid, puncture-resistant build meant to hold up to rough chewing and play.

The ball bounces well, which keeps fetch games going. Dogs chase it, pick it up and carry it back. It can be used for fetch in a yard, a park or other open spaces.

Always supervise your dog during play. Check the ball often, and stop using it right away if it is cracked or damaged. Choose the right size, because a ball that is too small can be a choking hazard.
