KONG Scrunch Knots Squirrel – Dog Toy (Medium/Large)

KONG Scrunch Knots Squirrel – Medium/Large

Of the three Scrunch Knots characters we stock, the squirrel is the one with the broad bushy tail, which changes how it handles — it gives a dog a wider, softer end to grab and gives you something substantial to hold during tug. The body is the same flat, gathered plush over a coiled rope with no stuffing inside.

KONG make the Scrunch Knots in two sizes and this is the larger: Medium/Large, which they band at 30 to 65 lb, about 14 to 29kg. The stretchy sides let the toy bunch and recover under the teeth, and there is a squeaker in the body.

Performance & Benefits

• Stuffing-free construction — no filling to pull out.
• Coiled rope through the body provides weight and a crunch under the teeth.
• Broad tail gives a wider grip than the fox or raccoon.
• Stretchy side panels for realistic flopping movement.
• Squeaker included to keep the toy in play.

Suitable For

• Dogs of 30–65 lb (about 14–29kg) on KONG's own banding.
• Dogs that take hold of a toy by the tail rather than the head.
• Owners who want an interactive tug toy that does not shed stuffing.
• Terriers and gundogs with a strong shake reflex.
• Not for a small dog that cannot lift the full length — KONG's Small/Medium size covers dogs to 35 lb.

How to Use

• Hold the tail for tug; it is the widest and strongest part of the toy.
• Drag it along the ground to trigger a chase before you hand it over.
• Sponge clean, then hang to dry rather than bundling it away damp.
• Alternate it with a chew toy so it stays a novelty.

Specification

Care & Caution

• Fabric over rope: once the cover splits, the rope and squeaker are swallowable.
• Withdraw the toy at the first tear.
• Supervise play rather than leaving it down all day.
• Give a larger dog a larger toy — size is the safety control here.
