KONG Comfort Jumbo Birds – XLarge

KONG Comfort Jumbo Birds – XLarge

Comfort Jumbo is KONG's oversized plush line, and the size is the feature. KONG's own description is an XL body that invites dogs for extra-large fun, and a toy this big genuinely changes how a dog plays: it gets dragged, flung and carried about rather than simply held in the mouth.

The bird shape adds a long floppy body to shake, KONG put squeakers in the body and the beak, and crinkle material inside keeps the game going once the squeak has lost its novelty. This is the XLarge, barcode 035585509112. KONG do not currently list a Birds variant of the Comfort Jumbo.

Performance & Benefits

• Extra-large plush body, which KONG describe as inviting dogs for extra-large fun.
• Squeakers in the body and the beak, so there are two places to find a noise.
• Crinkle sounds, which KONG say extend the engagement and spark natural shaking instincts.
• Long floppy shape that flails when shaken — the movement is most of the appeal.
• Soft fur that a dog will settle down with once the game is over.

Suitable For

• Large and giant dogs that want a toy they could not swallow if they tried.
• Dogs that shake and thrash a soft toy, and dogs that sleep with one.
• Indoor play, which is what KONG recommend the Comfort Jumbo for.
• Dogs whose toy box is all rubber and needs something soft in it.
• Not for a dog that strips plush in minutes — the black rubber KONG Extreme is the range built for those jaws.

How to Use

• Play with it rather than leaving it down, and put it away afterwards so it stays interesting.
• Use the body, not the neck, as the tug point.
• Check the seams and both squeaker pockets after every hard session.
• Hand wash in warm soapy water and air dry right through; a toy this size holds water for days.

Specification

• Size XLarge. Barcode 035585509112.
• Plush body with crinkle material and squeakers in the body and beak.
• KONG publish 98% polyester and 2% plastic squeaker for the Comfort Jumbo Duck, the variant they currently list; no composition is published for the Birds.
• KONG do not currently list a Comfort Jumbo Birds, so no dimensions or weight are published for it and none are stated here.

Care & Caution

• Squeakers and crinkle film are small swallowable parts. Retire the toy as soon as a seam opens, rather than stitching it up.
• Eaten plush stuffing causes gut obstructions, which is the commonest reason a soft toy ends up at the vet.
• Supervise play, and keep this as a play-and-cuddle toy rather than an unattended chew.
