KONG AirDog Squeaker Bone – Dog Toy (Large)

KONG AirDog Squeaker Bone – Large

KONG describe the AirDog range as two classic dog toys in one — the tennis ball and the squeaker — and the Bone is the shape for a dog that likes to carry its retrieve rather than just chase it. The whole body is covered in KONG's non-abrasive tennis material, which is the point of the range: it does not wear teeth down the way ordinary tennis felt does.

This is the Large, catalogued by KONG as ASB1 with barcode 035585775302, and it is a genuinely big bone — enough toy for a retriever or a collie to get a proper grip across the middle. The Medium is the same toy scaled down for dogs that find this one a mouthful.

Performance & Benefits

• Non-abrasive KONG tennis material across the whole body, softer on teeth than a standard tennis ball.
• Squeaker set inside the bone to draw a reluctant retriever back to you.
• Bone shape sits across the jaw, so a dog can carry it comfortably on a walk.
• Light for its size, which makes it easy to throw a long way.
• Bounces off true rather than erratically, so it is the predictable end of the AirDog range.

Suitable For

• Large dogs, roughly 30–65 lb (about 14–29kg) on KONG's published size guidance.
• Retrieving breeds that like something to hold rather than a plain ball.
• Dogs that need the squeaker to stay interested in a fetch session.
• Not for a dog that would rather dismantle the squeaker than fetch it — a solid black KONG Extreme in the matching size is the safer toy there.

How to Use

• Throw on grass; repeated landings on stone or tarmac shorten the tennis covering's life.
• Use the squeak to restart the game, then stop squeaking it once the dog is running in.
• Store it dry between sessions rather than leaving it in the garden.
• Clean in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly; KONG advise soaking hard toys in hot soapy water for ten minutes before scrubbing.

Specification

• Size Large. KONG catalogue reference ASB1, barcode 035585775302.
• KONG tennis material body with an internal squeaker.
• Also made in Medium, which is the same shape on a smaller scale.
• KONG publish no length or weight for the Squeaker Bone, so none is given here.

Care & Caution

• The squeaker is a small part inside a soft covering. Once the seam opens, take the toy away — swallowed squeakers cause blockages.
• KONG state that no safe dog toy is completely indestructible; this is a fetch toy, not an unsupervised chew.
• Replace it when the tennis covering wears through to the shell underneath.
