Size & Breed Recommendations

The 11-inch diameter is ideal for medium to large breed dogs including Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Border Collies, Boxers, Australian Shepherds, and similar-sized breeds. The ring shape and size provide comfortable gripping for dogs weighing 30-80 pounds. Smaller dogs can also enjoy this toy during interactive play with owners, though the size may be more suitable for tugging than solo carrying. For giant breeds or extremely powerful chewers, monitor closely for wear.

Water Play Advantages

The KONG Twistz Ring's floating design opens up exciting aquatic play opportunities. Unlike many toys that sink, this ring stays visible on the water's surface, making it easy for dogs to locate and retrieve. Water play provides low-impact exercise that's gentle on joints while building cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength. The buoyant design is perfect for introducing dogs to water activities, practicing swimming skills, or simply adding variety to your dog's exercise routine during hot weather.

Flexible Construction Benefits

The innovative flexible material sets the Twistz Ring apart from rigid tug toys. During tug-of-war games, the slight give creates a more dynamic, engaging experience that dogs find irresistible. This flexibility also makes the toy gentler on teeth and gums compared to completely rigid toys, while still providing the resistance dogs crave. The material bounces back to its original shape after play, ensuring long-lasting performance through countless games.

Textured Surface Technology

The uniquely textured exterior isn't just for aesthetics—it serves important functional purposes. The textured pattern provides superior grip for wet mouths during water play, prevents the toy from slipping during vigorous tugging, and creates tactile interest that appeals to dogs' sensory preferences. For handlers, the texture ensures you can maintain a firm grip even when the toy is wet or covered in dog saliva.

Care & Maintenance

Rinse the KONG Twistz Ring with fresh water after each use, especially following water play in chlorinated pools, salt water, or lakes. Wash with warm water and mild soap to remove dirt, saliva, and debris. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. The durable material is easy to clean and maintains its integrity through repeated washing. Inspect regularly for signs of excessive wear, cracks, or damage. Replace when showing significant deterioration or if pieces begin to separate.

Multi-Dog Play Guidelines

The large ring design accommodates two dogs playing simultaneously, making it ideal for multi-dog households. During supervised play, two dogs can grip opposite sides of the ring for friendly tug-of-war games that provide social interaction and exercise. Always supervise multi-dog play to ensure fair play and prevent resource guarding. Remove the toy if play becomes too intense or if dogs show possessive behaviors.

Safety Information

Always supervise your dog during play with tug toys. This toy is designed for interactive tugging and fetching—not for aggressive chewing or destruction. Remove and replace the toy if it becomes damaged, develops cracks, or if pieces begin to separate. Choose appropriate play intensity for your dog's size and strength. During water play, ensure your dog is a confident swimmer and never leave them unattended near water. Rinse thoroughly after saltwater use to prevent material degradation. Keep away from children.
