The felt on this ball is specifically non-abrasive, making it gentler on teeth and gums during both fetch and chewing. It also has a built-in squeaker and an attached rope, neither of which a standard tennis ball has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ2: Does the rope make it easier to throw?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. Holding the rope and swinging it before you let go gives you more distance and a cleaner throw than gripping the ball itself. The rope just gives you better leverage, so the ball goes further without any extra effort on your part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ3: Can this ball be used in water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it can be tossed into a pool or shallow water for retrieval. However, if water enters through the holes where the rope attaches to the ball, it can reduce buoyancy and the squeaker may not function properly while wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: Does the squeaker continue working after the ball gets wet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water can get in through the rope holes and temporarily stop the squeaker from working. Once the inside dries out it usually comes back. It works fine in water now and then, but land fetch is where it performs best consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ5: Is this toy good for tug-of-war?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The rope extends from the ball and gives both dog and owner a clear grip point for tug-of-war without hands getting close to the dog's mouth. It's a practical tug setup compared to toys without an attachment, and the rope length gives enough distance to play safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ6: How do I clean this toy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash with soap and warm water, rinse properly, and let it air dry completely before the next session. Do not put it in a washing machine or dryer since both can damage the felt, the squeaker, and the rope. After water sessions, let it air dry fully before putting it away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49371335655651,"sku":"AST21","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/8696\/5475\/files\/shop-kong-squeakair-ball-with-rope-dog-fetch-toy-medium-toys-222.jpg?v=1783373121","url":"https:\/\/thediscountpets.com\/products\/kong-squeakair-ball-with-rope-dog-toy","provider":"Discount Pets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
