KONG Natural Rubber Dog Ball with Rope, for small dogs, Red, fetch and tug

This dog ball with rope pairs a red KONG natural rubber ball with a rope that runs through it, and it comes in the small size for small dogs. The ball is made of natural rubber, and the rope gives you a handle for throwing and for tug games. It is sized for small dogs, so check the size against your dog before play.

The ball suits small dogs, and strong chewers need a bigger size

This ball is listed for small dogs, so a large dog is outside the size it is sold for. Power chewers may need to size up or use the KONG Extreme line instead, which is the option the manufacturer names for that situation. Supervise your dog during play, and take the toy away if it becomes damaged.

Play is for fetch and tug, with a person watching

Use the ball for fetch and tug play, and the manufacturer lists training sessions and interactive tug play as its settings. Keep the dog supervised while it is in use, and remove the toy from playtime if it is damaged.

What owners mention about the rope and the ball
