KONG Traxx Dog Toy – Small

KONG Traxx – Small

For a small dog a tyre is a far easier shape to manage than a ball. The rim gives something to bite down on, the flat sides stop it rolling away under the sofa, and the hole through the middle means a little mouth can get a proper grip rather than skidding off a smooth curve.

This is the smaller of the two Traxx, with the same hollow inner channel for paste or crumbs as the Medium/Large. KONG have retired the Traxx from their catalogue and publish no dimensions, weight or rubber grade for either size. Barcode 035585250014 identifies this one as the Small; the 3.5 × 1.25 × 3.5 inch figure previously shown here came from a retail listing, not from KONG.

Performance & Benefits

• Small tyre profile that a little dog can pick up cleanly off a hard floor.
• Hollow inner channel takes paste, crumbs or a few small treats for a slow, quiet session.
• Solid rubber throughout, with no squeaker, stitching or fittings to work loose.
• Rolls and tips rather than running away in a straight line, so indoor fetch stays in the room.
• Washes out and refills in seconds, which makes it a realistic daily toy rather than an occasional one.

Suitable For

• Small dogs and light chewers.
• Puppies moving on from a soft toy, under supervision.
• Quiet enrichment at home — stuff it, freeze it and leave the dog to it.
• Indoor fetch in a flat or a small garden.
• Too small for a medium or large dog to play with safely; the Traxx Medium/Large is the size for those, and the KONG Extreme in Small, black, is the harder rubber for a small power chewer.

How to Use

• Press paste or soft food into the inner channel, or freeze it filled to stretch the session out.
• Roll it along the floor to start a game rather than throwing it hard.
• Wash in warm soapy water between fillings and dry before refilling.
• Include whatever goes inside in the day's food ration.
• Check it over weekly and replace it when the rubber splits.

Specification

• KONG Traxx, Small. Barcode 035585250014.
• Natural rubber tyre with a hollow inner channel for stuffing.
• KONG no longer list the Traxx on kongcompany.com and publish no current diameter, height, weight or rubber grade for the Small, so none are stated here.
• The 3.5 × 1.25 × 3.5 inch dimension previously shown on this page is not a KONG figure and has been removed.
• Also made in Medium/Large, barcode 035585250007.

Care & Caution

• This is the Small: do not give it to a medium or large dog, which could swallow it whole.
• Inspect the rubber before each session and replace the toy at the first split.
• Supervise a dog that chews rather than licks at a stuffed toy.
• Stuff it with food the dog already eats, and watch the first filled session through.
