A bored puppy is a destructive puppy, as anyone with a closet full of mangled shoes can attest. The answer? Put that pup to work. She may look sweet, but shes a natural born killer, genetically evolved to forage, hunt, chase, and gnaw.

When those natural urges are frustrated, she may develop problem behaviors like barking, digging, and yes, chewing shoes. Kong activity balls turn passive feeding into active play sessions that satisfy a dogs psychological and intellectual needs as well as her nutritional ones. Made from an exclusive rubber formulation thats more flexible than regular Kongs, the activity ball soothes sore gums and allows the puppy to try out developing teeth.

Stash biscuits or dry food (or Kong brand Stuff N Treats) in the hollow center and your puppy will learn how to release them as she plays, stimulating brain development as well as chewing needs. The ridged exterior gently squeegees teeth and gums clean, helping prevent plaque and tartar buildup (not to mention bad breath).

Use Kong Stuff N Breath Paste inside the grooves to motivate your dog to chew and freshen her breath at the same time. Measuring 3 inches in diameter, this activity ball is appropriate for the smallest breeds, including Yorkies, toy poodles, and Chihuahuas. Regularly inspect the ball for cracks or missing chunks, and replace worn or damaged toys to avoid a choking hazard.

Satisfaction is guaranteed; if either you or your dog arent happy with your purchase, return within 30 days for a full refund. --Mary ParkProduct Description: The KONG Puppy Activity Ball supports puppies that are learning appropriate chewing behavior.
