KONG Maxx Turtle – Dog Toy (Medium)

KONG Maxx Turtle – Medium

Same Maxx engineering as the bone, wrapped round a turtle: a shell-patterned body with flippers and a head sticking out, all in the puncture-resistant cover material KONG rate at up to five times tougher than standard plush. The flippers are the handle — they are what a dog grabs to shake it.

This is the Medium. KONG have taken the Turtle out of their current range, so what follows is the Maxx line specification rather than a figure list for this particular character. Nothing here is carried over from retail listings.

Performance & Benefits

• Puncture-resistant Maxx cover, rated by KONG at up to five times tougher than regular plush.
• Super-strong thread and a deliberately low seam count.
• Squeaker inside to spark retrieving instincts.
• Flippers and head give a dog several places to take hold.
• Flat-bodied shape that slides and skitters when thrown.

Suitable For

• Medium dogs that fetch hard and open ordinary plush toys quickly.
• Indoor fetch where a rubber toy would mark skirting boards.
• Dogs that prefer a shape with limbs to grab rather than a smooth ball.
• Play sessions with an owner rather than unsupervised chewing.
• Not the toy for a dedicated destroyer — a rubber chew like the KONG Extreme in black is the safer choice there.

How to Use

• Throw it flat and let it skid; the shell shape slides well on grass.
• Tug gently by a flipper rather than by the head.
• Sponge clean, air dry, and keep it out of the tumble dryer.
• Check flippers and seams over after hard play.

Specification

• Size Medium.
• KONG Maxx construction: puncture-resistant cover, minimal seams, super-strong thread, squeaker.
• KONG UPC 035585523460.
• KONG no longer list the Maxx Turtle and publish no dimensions, weight or fabric composition for it, so none are stated here.

Care & Caution

• Maxx is tough, not chew-proof — treat it as a fetch toy.
• Retire it once the cover is punctured; the squeaker and filling can be swallowed.
• Supervise, and take the toy up when the session finishes.
• Do not hand a medium toy to a giant breed.
