An oval bounces unpredictably, and that is the whole argument for the KONG AirDog Squeaker Football over a round ball — it kicks sideways off the ground, so a dog has to read the bounce instead of running a straight line to meet it. The pointed ends also carry further off a throw. The cover is KONG's tennis felt with a squeaker sealed inside, and it is stocked in small, medium and large. Pick by the size of your dog's mouth, since a football has to be gripped across its width rather than swallowed whole.

Size and materials
KONG gives the composition as 60% natural rubber, 38% polyester and 2% plastic squeaker, and the country of origin as China. KONG's size chart puts the medium at about 13 x 8 x 8cm for dogs of roughly 7 to 16kg, and the large at about 17 x 10 x 10cm for dogs of roughly 14 to 30kg. Built for fetch, not for chewing — retire it once the felt splits.
