KONG Squeezz Crackle Bone Medium Dog Toy

KONG Squeezz Crackle Bone – Medium

Crackle is the quiet member of the Squeezz family. Instead of a squeaker there is a crackle material inside the flexible shell, so bending or twisting the bone produces a rustling sound rather than a shriek — which is why KONG recommend it for indoor play and for households that have had enough of squeaking.

This is the Medium, banded by KONG at 15 to 35 lb, about 7 to 16kg. The rubber is deliberately flexible so the bone can be bent by a dog's jaws, and the colour runs through the body rather than sitting on the surface.

Performance & Benefits

• Crackle sound produced by bending or twisting, with no squeaker.
• Noticeably quieter than a squeaky toy — suited to indoor play.
• Flexible material that gives under the teeth rather than staying rigid.
• Bone shape is easy to pick up and carry.
• Bright translucent colour that stays visible on grass.
• Works for tossing and retrieving as well as chewing.

Suitable For

• Dogs of 15–35 lb (about 7–16kg) on KONG's Squeezz Crackle banding.
• Households that cannot stand another squeaking toy.
• Indoor and outdoor toss-and-retrieve games.
• Dogs that like to chew on something with give in it.
• Not enough toy for a dog above 35 lb — KONG make the Squeezz Crackle Bone in Large for dogs of 30–65 lb.

How to Use

• Bend or twist it in your hand to start the crackle and get the dog's attention.
• Throw it for retrieval; it is light and flexible enough for indoor use.
• Wash in warm soapy water and dry before it goes away.
• Check for splits along the length of the bone after hard chewing.

Care & Caution

• The crackle material sits inside the shell — if the bone is chewed open it can come out and be swallowed.
• Retire the toy once the shell has split.
• Use the size band; a Medium bone is a choking risk for a much bigger dog.
• Supervise chewing and pick the toy up when play stops.
