Step-by-Step Setup Instructions:

First Time Inflation:

Unpack: Remove ball, pump, and needle from packaging
Inspect Ball: Check for any damage or defects before inflating
Locate Valve: Find the air valve on the ball (usually has a small cap)
Prepare Needle: Attach metal needle to pump nozzle securely
Moisten Needle: Wet needle tip with water or saliva for easier insertion
Insert Needle: Gently push needle straight into valve opening
Pump Air: Use hand pump to inflate ball to desired firmness
Check Firmness: Squeeze ball to test - should have some give but maintain shape
Remove Needle: Pull needle straight out quickly and replace valve cap
Test Bounce: Drop ball to test bounce level - adjust air if needed

Firmness Recommendations:

Soft (60-70% inflated): Best for chewing and gentle play, less bouncy
Medium (70-85% inflated): Balanced for both chewing and fetching
Firm (85-95% inflated): Maximum bounce for fetch and training, less suitable for chewing
Note: Never over-inflate - ball should have slight give when squeezed

How to Use - Activity Ideas:

Fetch & Retrieve:

Inflate to medium-firm for good bounce
Throw or kick ball for dog to chase and retrieve
Practice commands like "fetch," "drop it," and "bring it"
Great for open fields, parks, or large backyards

Water Play:

Ball floats when properly inflated
Perfect for pool, lake, or beach play
Rinse and dry after water use to prevent mold

Training Exercises:

Use as target for agility training
Practice impulse control ("wait" before chasing)
Reward-based training tool
Nose work and scent games

Care & Maintenance Instructions:

Daily Care:

Wipe ball with damp cloth after outdoor play
Remove dirt, grass, and debris from felt surface
Check for punctures or damage after each use
Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

Deep Cleaning (Weekly or as needed):

Deflate ball partially for easier cleaning
Wash with mild soap and warm water
Use soft brush to clean felt texture
Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap
Air dry completely before re-inflating
Do not machine wash or tumble dry

Inflation Maintenance:

Check air pressure weekly - ball may slowly lose air over time
Re-inflate as needed to maintain desired firmness
Ensure valve cap is secure after each inflation
Store pump and needle in safe place for future use

Storage Tips:

Deflate partially for long-term storage to reduce stress on seams
Store in cool, dry location away from direct sunlight
Keep away from sharp objects that could puncture ball
Avoid extreme temperatures (hot cars, freezing conditions)

Repair & Replacement:

Small punctures can sometimes be repaired with rubber patch kits
If felt covering becomes severely damaged, consider replacement
Replace ball if it develops large tears or won't hold air
Typical lifespan: 3-12 months depending on use intensity

Safety Guidelines & Precautions:

⚠️ Supervision Required: Always supervise dogs during play, especially aggressive chewers
⚠️ Proper Size Selection: Choose size appropriate for your dog's breed and weight
⚠️ Not Indestructible: No toy is completely chew-proof - inspect regularly for damage
⚠️ Remove if Damaged: Discontinue use if ball develops tears, punctures, or loose pieces
⚠️ Choking Hazard: Not suitable for small dogs who could choke on deflated ball
⚠️ Don't Over-Inflate: Over-inflation can cause ball to burst - leave some give
⚠️ Aggressive Chewers: Not recommended for extreme power chewers who destroy all toys
⚠️ Swallowing Risk: If felt covering tears off, remove immediately to prevent ingestion
⚠️ Outdoor Use: Keep away from sharp objects, thorns, and rough surfaces that could puncture
⚠️ Weather Conditions: Avoid use in extreme heat (can over-expand) or cold (can become brittle)
⚠️ Multiple Dogs: Monitor play to prevent resource guarding or aggressive behavior
⚠️ Children & Pets: Supervise interactions between kids and dogs during play

Troubleshooting:

Ball Won't Inflate: Check valve isn't clogged, ensure needle is fully inserted, verify pump is working
Loses Air Quickly: Check for punctures, ensure valve cap is tight, may need valve replacement
Too Bouncy: Release some air to reduce firmness
Not Bouncy Enough: Add more air with pump
Dog Not Interested: Introduce gradually, play together initially, try different inflation levels
Felt Covering Peeling: Normal with heavy use - trim loose pieces to prevent ingestion
Punctured Ball: Try rubber patch kit for small holes, replace if damage is extensive
