Kong Stuff-A-Ball Toy For Dogs

Red Rubber Ball with Denta-Ridges and Hollow Treat Center

Product Description

The KONG Stuff-A-Ball is made from the same KONG Classic natural rubber used in KONG's signature toys, giving dogs a durable outlet for chewing while supporting dental health. Patented Denta-Ridges clean teeth and massage gums as your dog chews, and the hollow center can be stuffed with KONG Easy Treat, KONG Snacks, kibble, or other treats to turn it into a scavenging challenge. As your dog rolls, bounces, or chews the ball, treats are released periodically, extending playtime.

Features

• Hollow stuffable center
• Red rubber ball shape
• Treat dispensing design

Benefits

• Cleans Teeth While Chewing: The patented Denta-Ridges massage gums and help clean teeth with every bite, giving your dog a dental health benefit.
• Satisfies Natural Chewing Instinct: Made from durable KONG Classic rubber, this ball gives dogs an appropriate outlet for their natural urge to chew.
• Turns Treats into a Challenge: The hollow center and Denta-Ridges hold treats, paste, or kibble, so your dog has to work for the reward rather than getting it instantly.
• Extends Playtime: As your dog rolls, bounces, or chews the ball, treats are released periodically rather than all at once, which keeps engagement going for longer stretches.
• Reduces Boredom and Anxiety: Providing mental stimulation through scavenging and treat retrieval can help ease boredom, destructive behavior, and separation anxiety when you're not around.

How to Use

Usage Instructions   

• Stuff the hollow center: Fill the inside with KONG Easy Treat, KONG Snacks, kibble, peanut butter, or other dog-safe treats to turn the ball into a scavenging and chewing challenge.
• Let your dog roll and chew: As your dog rolls, bounces, or chews the ball, treats release periodically through the Denta-Ridges.
• Use for fetch too: Beyond stuffing, the ball shape still works for regular fetch or tug-of-war games, giving you another way to use the toy.

Additional Information

Care Instructions  

• Rinse after stuffing: Rinse the inside of the ball with warm water after each stuffed session to remove leftover treat residue from the hollow center and ridges.
• Wash with mild soap: Periodically wash the toy with mild soap and warm water for a deeper clean, especially if sticky pastes like peanut butter have been used inside.
• Air-dry completely: Let the toy dry fully before stuffing it again or putting it away to avoid moisture sitting in the hollow center between uses.

Safety Instructions 

• Supervised use only: Always supervise your dog while they play with this toy, regardless of size or chewing style.
• Remove all packaging first: Take off all packaging and packaging attachments before giving the Stuff-A-Ball toy to your dog to eliminate any choking risk.
• Size up for power chewers: If your dog chews aggressively, consider sizing up one or two sizes, or switching to the KONG Extreme line, which is built for tougher chewing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What can I stuff inside this ball?

Ans: You can fill it with KONG Easy Treat, KONG Snacks, kibble, peanut butter, or pretty much any dog-safe treat or paste. The hollow center and Denta-Ridges are designed to hold a variety of fillings, giving your dog something to work for as they chew, roll, or bounce the ball.

Q2: How do the Denta-Ridges work?

Ans: The Denta-Ridges are raised ridges molded into the rubber surface. As your dog chews on the ball, the ridges help clean teeth and massage gums, giving a small dental health benefit alongside the regular chewing and treat-retrieval activity.

Q3: What size should I get for my dog?

Ans: Small fits toy breeds like Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and Yorkies. Medium fits small to medium breeds. Large fits bigger dogs. If your dog is a strong or aggressive chewer, it's worth sizing up one size regardless of their breed size.

Q4: Is this toy good for power chewers?

Ans: Not on its own. For power chewers, either size up one size or switch to the KONG Extreme line, which is designed specifically for dogs that chew more aggressively than average.

Q5: What material is this toy made from?

Ans: It's made from KONG Classic natural rubber, the same material used in KONG's original signature rubber toys. Unlike nylon, hard plastic, sticks, or bones, this rubber doesn't splinter, which makes it gentler on your dog's teeth and gums.

Q6: Can this help with separation anxiety?

Ans: It can help. Providing mental stimulation through stuffing and treat retrieval keeps dogs engaged and occupied, which may reduce boredom and destructive behavior during periods when you're away from home.

Q7: How do I clean the inside after stuffing it?

Ans: Rinse the inside with warm water after each use to clear out leftover treat residue. For a deeper clean, especially after using sticky pastes like peanut butter, wash with soap and warm water, then let it air dry completely before stuffing it again.
