The ball is solid and puncture-resistant, maintaining its shape and structural integrity through repeated compression, fetch impact, and moderate chewing. The center hole is sized to accept treats or kibble, enabling treat-dispensing enrichment play in addition to standard fetch. Manufactured in the USA with globally sourced materials.

The MD\/LG size is proportioned for medium and large breeds, providing a satisfying fetch and carry toy that suits the jaw size and play intensity of larger dogs. The center hole adds a functional element that extends engagement beyond fetch — treat-motivated dogs will interact with the ball independently during enrichment sessions. Engagement duration varies by individual dog — fetch- and treat-motivated dogs typically sustain active play sessions across both use modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlay Style and Functional Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a fetch toy, the KONG Classic Rubber Ball with Hole delivers an unpredictable bounce pattern on varied surfaces, encouraging dogs to track, chase, and retrieve. The puncture-resistant natural rubber ensures consistent rebound without rapid structural breakdown. As a treat-dispensing toy, the center hole accepts kibble or soft treats, releasing them during rolling and repositioning to reward independent enrichment play. This dual-function design makes the ball a practical everyday interactive dog toy for medium and large dogs — supporting both high-energy fetch sessions and calmer, treat-driven enrichment play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSafety, Usage, and Care Guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModerate supervision is recommended, particularly during fetch play, to monitor ball condition and ensure it is not being aggressively chewed apart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect the ball regularly for signs of cracking, chunking, or excessive wear — replace if structural integrity is compromised.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the MD\/LG size is appropriate for your dog's breed and jaw size before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use with dogs that exhibit extreme chewing behavior beyond the toy's intended moderate-to-heavy duty rating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in a clean, dry location when not in use to maintain rubber quality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCleaning and Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KONG Classic Rubber Ball with Hole can be cleaned on the top rack of a dishwasher or hand washed with warm water and mild dish soap.
