The KONG Puppy Ball is a soft, durable rubber fetch toy designed specifically for puppies. The puppy-formula rubber is gentler than the adult red formulation, softer on developing teeth and teething gums.

The construction uses KONG's exclusive puppy rubber, which is puncture-resistant for the chewing puppies do but flexible enough to soothe sore gums during teething. The high bounce makes it interesting for fetch on hard surfaces, and the size suits medium-breed puppies through the growth phase. Pair with a stuffable Easy Treat paste for enrichment, or use as a standard fetch ball. Replace and step up to an adult-formula KONG once the puppy outgrows it.

KONG's puppy line fills a real need; adult-formula rubber is too firm for teething mouths, but generic puppy toys are usually shredded within days. The puppy KONG is the standard middle-ground recommendation for owners of new pups.
