Introduction
The Gigwi Ball Originals Small is a durable, squeaking ball toy designed for dogs. This product comes in a 3-pack with assorted colors, providing engaging play for your pet. It features a classic tennis ball shape and material, made from robust synthetic rubber with a felt exterior for enhanced grip and bounce.
Important Safety Information
Please read and adhere to the following safety guidelines to ensure the well-being of your pet:
- Size Selection: Always ensure the ball size is appropriate for your dog's breed and mouth size. The Small Gigwi Ball Originals has a diameter of approximately 1.8 inches.
- Choking Hazard: Small balls can pose a choking hazard. Ensure the ball cannot fit entirely beyond your dog's front teeth. If it can, the ball is too small for your dog.
- Supervision: Always supervise your dog during play sessions with any toy, including the Gigwi Ball Originals.
- Inspect Regularly: Regularly inspect the toy for any signs of damage or wear. Discontinue use and replace the toy if it becomes damaged to prevent ingestion of small pieces.
- Limit Chewing: This toy is designed for interactive play (fetch, retrieve) and not for prolonged, unsupervised chewing. After play, put the ball away to prevent your dog from continuously chewing on it.

Choosing the Correct Size
Before introducing the toy to your dog, confirm that the 'Small' size is appropriate. The Small Gigwi Ball Originals has a diameter of 1.8 inches. For reference, Medium balls are 2.4 inches and Large balls are 3.1 inches. Ensure the ball is large enough that your dog cannot swallow it or fit it entirely past their front teeth.
Operating Instructions
The Gigwi Ball Originals is designed for interactive play. Engage your dog by throwing the ball for fetch or by gently squeezing it to activate the internal squeaker. The durable rubber core and felt exterior provide a satisfying bounce and grip for both you and your dog.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean the Gigwi Ball Originals, wipe it with a damp cloth and mild, pet-safe soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue and allow it to air dry completely before next use.
Inspection
Regularly inspect the ball for any tears, cracks, or loose pieces, especially around the felt and the squeaker mechanism. If any damage is observed, discard the toy immediately to prevent potential ingestion hazards.
Troubleshooting
Squeaker Not Working
If the squeaker stops functioning, it may be due to wear from repeated use or damage. The squeaker mechanism is internal and not user-serviceable. If the squeaker is no longer working, the toy can still be used for fetch, but if the integrity of the ball is compromised, it should be replaced.
