Kong Tuggerknots Frog Small/Medium

KONG Tugger Knots Frog – Small/Medium

A long, floppy plush frog built around knotted rope, with a loop of that rope left exposed at each end. That gives a handle for you and a handle for the dog, so a tug game has two proper ends to it rather than a fistful of fabric that tears out.

KONG no longer list the Tugger Knots Frog on kongcompany.com. Barcode 035585454047 identifies it as the Small/Medium. The nearest item still in their catalogue is the Tugger Knots Moose, item NK14 in Medium/Large, declared as 50% polyester, 45% cotton and 5% plastic squeaker — but no figures are published for the Frog, and none are invented here.

Performance & Benefits

• Knotted rope runs the length of the body, so there is something solid to bite on inside the plush.
• A rope loop at each end gives both handler and dog a real grip for tug.
• Long and floppy, which suits dogs that would rather shake a toy than settle down and chew it.
• Squeaker in the body to restart interest when the game slows.
• Soft cotton and plush outer, comfortable enough to sleep with afterwards.

Suitable For

• Small and medium dogs — this is the Small/Medium size.
• Two-ended tug games where you want a handle rather than a fistful of fabric.
• Dogs that shake and thrash a toy across the room.
• Indoor play, where nothing gets broken.
• Not for a heavy chewer that will work the rope loose — a KONG Extreme in Small or Medium, black, is the toy for that.

How to Use

• Hold one rope loop, offer the other, and pull side to side rather than lifting the dog's front feet off the ground.
• End the game on your terms and put the toy away.
• Spot clean or hand wash, then dry fully — the rope core holds water for a long time.
• Trim and discard loose threads before they can be swallowed.

Specification

• KONG Tugger Knots Frog, Small/Medium. Barcode 035585454047.
• Plush body over an internal knotted rope, with exposed rope loops at both ends and an internal squeaker.
• KONG no longer list this toy on kongcompany.com and publish no length, weight or material percentages for it, so none are stated here.
• For reference, the Tugger Knots Moose that KONG do still list (item NK14, Medium/Large) is declared as 50% polyester, 45% cotton and 5% plastic squeaker.

Care & Caution

• Supervise tug and chew sessions; loose rope fibres and a swallowed squeaker both cause real trouble.
• Retire the toy once the rope has frayed through or the plush has split open.
• Do not leave a dog to chew the rope loops alone between games.
• Match the toy to the dog: this is Small/Medium, not a toy for a large, determined chewer.
