KONG Holiday Sherps Llama – Dog Toy (Medium)

KONG Holiday Sherps Llama – Medium

Sherps are KONG's double-layered plush line, and this llama is 21cm tall, 18cm long and weighs 86g. Two layers of fabric rather than one is the whole difference: an outer skin that takes the wear and a second behind it that keeps the stuffing in when the first gives way.

It squeaks and it crinkles, which covers both of the noises dogs will keep going back to. KONG describe the material as ultra-soft, and it is genuinely a toy for carrying, cuddling and gentle indoor fetch rather than for chewing.

Performance & Benefits

• Double-layered plush construction for longer life than a single-skin toy.
• Squeaker and crinkle together, so the toy makes two different noises.
• 21cm tall — a good size for a medium dog to carry in its mouth.
• 86g, light enough to toss across a room without breaking anything.
• Soft enough to sleep with as well as play with.
• 98% polyester with a 2% plastic squeaker.

Suitable For

• Dogs in KONG's Medium band, about 15–35 lb or 7–16kg.
• Gentle players that carry toys about rather than destroying them.
• Indoor fetch on days when outdoor exercise is limited.
• A comfort toy for a crate or a bed.
• Not for a dog that opens plush toys up — KONG's black Extreme rubber range is graded for those dogs.

How to Use

• Squeak it to start play, then throw it short distances indoors.
• Check the seams after each rough session and close small openings promptly.
• Surface wash and air dry; KONG publish no machine wash instruction.
• Take it away once the squeaker or the crinkle film is exposed.
• Keep it out of the general toy pile if it is being used as a comfort toy.
