Purpose-Driven Opening
The KONG Squeezz Tennis Buoy is a fetch and tug toy designed to deliver high-energy play through enhanced bounce, a grippy rubber exterior, a built-in squeaker, and an attached rope for easy tossing and tugging.

Material and Construction
The KONG Squeezz Tennis Buoy is constructed from durable rubber with thick walls designed to withstand moderate chewing and repeated fetch sessions. The one-piece, felt-free construction eliminates the fabric covering found on traditional tennis balls, reducing wear and preventing fabric ingestion. The grippy rubber exterior provides texture that makes the toy easy for dogs to pick up, carry, and hold. The internal squeaker is embedded within the rubber to provide auditory stimulation while remaining protected during normal use. The attached rope is constructed from durable fibers designed for tug play and provides a convenient handle for tossing and retrieving. This is a moderate-duty construction designed for fetch and tug play rather than sustained aggressive chewing.
Texture, Size and Play Duration Guidance
The rubber exterior is firm and grippy, providing a secure surface for dogs to pick up and carry during fetch. The rope adds a flexible grip point for tug sessions. The large size is appropriate for large breed dogs. For light to moderate chewers, expect moderate to extended engagement across multiple fetch and tug sessions. Dogs who aggressively chew or tear apart toys may damage the squeaker, rubber, or rope more quickly. Play duration and toy longevity will vary based on individual play intensity and chewing habits.
Play Style and Functional Use
As a Fetch Toy: The thick rubber walls create higher, more unpredictable bounce patterns when thrown, encouraging dogs to chase and retrieve with added excitement. The rope handle allows for easy long-distance throws. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor fetch sessions.
As a Tug Toy: The attached rope provides a comfortable grip point for tug-of-war sessions. The buoy shape gives dogs a secure hold on their end during play. Not recommended for sustained, high-force tug play with powerful dogs.
Squeaker Engagement: The built-in squeaker delivers auditory rewards during play, activating natural hunting and play instincts and sustaining engagement across sessions.
Safety, Usage and Care Guidance
Supervision is recommended during all play sessions, particularly during initial use. Inspect the toy regularly for signs of wear, tears, damage to the squeaker, or fraying of the rope. Discontinue use if the squeaker becomes exposed, the rubber shows significant damage, or the rope begins to fray or separate to prevent ingestion hazards. This toy is intended for interactive fetch and tug play and is not suitable for unsupervised chewing. Always ensure the toy size is appropriate for your dog’s mouth size.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Rinse with water and wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Allow to air dry completely before returning to use. Avoid submerging the toy for extended periods, as this may affect the squeaker. Inspect the rope regularly for fraying and replace the toy if the rope becomes significantly worn. Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and extends the toy’s usable life.

A Note on Safe Play
The KONG Squeezz Tennis Buoy is a versatile fetch and tug toy built to deliver more excitement than a standard tennis ball through enhanced bounce, squeaker stimulation, a grippy rubber exterior, and a rope handle.

For best results, supervise play sessions, inspect the rubber and rope regularly for wear, and replace when significant damage is detected. Active, structured play keeps your dog physically and mentally engaged.
