Grippy Rubber Ball with Recessed Squeaker and Erratic Bounce

Product Description

The KONG Squeezz Ball is a fetch and chew toy built around a recessed squeaker that keeps working even after the ball is punctured. The erratic, unpredictable bounce keeps dogs chasing during fetch sessions, while the grippy textured surface adds extra chewing satisfaction beyond what a plain rubber ball offers. Non-toxic rubber construction handles light to moderate chewing.

Features

• Recessed squeaker
• Erratic unpredictable bounce
• Grippy textured surface
• Non-toxic rubber construction
• Light to moderate chewing

Benefits

• Squeaker Keeps Working After Puncture: The recessed squeaker is protected inside the rubber body and continues to produce a squeak even if the ball gets punctured.
• Erratic Bounce Keeps Dogs Chasing: The ball doesn't bounce in a straight, predictable line like a tennis ball; the irregular rebound keeps dogs reacting and chasing.
• Grippy Texture for Chewing: The textured surface gives dogs more to grip and chew on than a smooth ball, adding a secondary chewing benefit between fetch rounds.
• Safe Non-Toxic Rubber: Made from non-toxic rubber that is gentler on teeth and gums than hard plastic, nylon, or bone alternatives during both fetch and chewing sessions.

Variants

Available in three sizes:

• Medium ( between 15-35 lbs)
• Large ( between 30-65 lbs)
• X-Large ( between 60-90 lbs)

How to Use

Usage Instructions  

• Toss for fetch: Throw the ball across a yard or open space and let your dog chase the erratic bounce.
• Squeeze to demonstrate the squeak: Give the ball a squeeze before each throw to activate the squeaker and build your dog's interest, once they know the sound.
• Allow supervised chewing: Let your dog chew on the grippy surface between fetch rounds for extra engagement, but always supervise and remove the ball if the rubber shows signs of breaking apart.

Additional Information

Care Instructions   

• Rinse after play: Give it a quick rinse with water after sessions in grass or dirt. That takes care of most of the debris and saliva that collects in the textured surface.
• Wipe with a damp cloth: For lighter cleanup between rinses, a damp cloth across the surface is enough to keep it from getting grimy between fetch sessions.
• Inspect before each session: Before you throw it, give the rubber a quick look for any cracks, thinning spots, or pieces starting to come away. Take it out of play if anything looks off.
• Store away from direct heat: Don't leave it sitting in direct sun or anywhere it gets hot for long periods. That kind of heat breaks down rubber faster than regular play does.

Safety Instructions  

• Supervised use only: Always watch your dog during play; remove the ball immediately if the rubber begins to crack, chunk off, or show significant wear that could create sharp edges.
• Not for aggressive chewers: This ball is for light to moderate chewing; for dogs that chew through rubber aggressively, KONG rubber chew toys are the more appropriate and durable option.
• Remove packaging: Before giving the ball to your dog, remove all packaging and tags completely to eliminate any choking risk before the first play session begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does the recessed squeaker mean?

Ans: It means the squeaker sits inside the rubber body rather than close to the surface. The rubber around it protects it from being immediately punctured during chewing, and the squeaker keeps working even after the ball gets punctured from regular use.

Q2: Can I pick the color?

Ans: No. Colors ship at random from four jewel tones. You won't be able to request a specific color when ordering.

Q3: Does this ball float in water?

Ans: It floats initially but will eventually sink because of the squeaker hole in the rubber. It's not designed as a water retrieval toy, so keep fetch sessions to dry land. If the ball gets wet, the squeaker may be temporarily affected until it dries out fully.

Q4: Is this ball good for aggressive chewers?

Ans: No. This ball is built for light to moderate chewing alongside fetch. Aggressive chewers can work through the rubber and reach the squeaker faster than this construction is intended to handle.

Q5: Is this ball suitable for playing fetch outdoors?

Ans: Yes. The erratic bounce and bright jewel-tone colors make it well-suited for outdoor fetch in parks and yards. The non-toxic rubber holds up to grass and dirt exposure. Just rinse it clean after sessions and inspect the surface for wear before the next round.

Q6: Does this ball dispense treats?

Ans: No. The Squeezz Ball does not have a fill hole or any treat-dispensing feature. It is purely a fetch and chewing ball. If you're looking for a KONG ball that dispenses treats, the KONG Stuff-A-Ball is the better option as it has a stuffable hollow center.

Q7: How does the bounce work differently from a tennis ball?

Ans: A tennis ball bounces in a fairly predictable straight-line path. The Squeezz Ball's erratic bounce sends it in more unpredictable directions depending on how it lands, which keeps your dog reacting to where it actually goes.
