Kong Wild Knots Tiger Toy For Dogs

Striped Tiger Plush with Knotted Rope Skeleton, Squeaker and Crinkle

Product Description

The KONG Wild Knots Tiger is soft and cuddly on the outside and reinforced with a knotted rope skeleton on the inside. Both a squeaker and crinkle are built in, giving dogs two distinct sounds to react to during play. Minimal stuffing reduces mess if the outer fabric gets worked through, and the soft plush body works as a carry and snuggle companion between active sessions.

Features

• Internal knotted rope skeleton
• Squeaker and crinkle built in
• Minimal stuffing design
• Soft plush for snuggling
• For light to moderate chewing

Benefits

• Squeaker and Crinkle Together: The Tiger has both a squeaker and a crinkle, giving dogs two different sounds to engage with during the same session.
• Knotted Rope Core: The rope runs through the tiger's body in a knotted structure beneath the plush fabric, giving dogs a firm, satisfying resistance when chewing and tugging.
• Bright Tiger Stripes: The distinctive orange-and-black striped design makes this toy easy to spot in a room or yard and gives dogs a visually distinct option compared to other plush characters.
• Less Fill for Less Mess: Minimal stuffing inside means less polyester to scatter if a dog works through the outer fabric, which is a practical advantage over fully stuffed plush animals.
• Reinforced Plush for Durability: The reinforced construction holds up through light to moderate chewing, shaking, and tossing longer than standard unreinforced plush of the same size and weight.
• Comfortable for Carrying: The soft plush exterior makes the tiger easy and comfortable for dogs to carry around the house, shake, and rest with as a companion during downtime between sessions.

• Small/Medium

How to Use

Usage Instructions

• Let your dog discover the sounds: Hand the tiger over and let your dog find the squeaker and crinkle through natural biting and shaking.
• Use for tug play: Hold the body while your dog grabs a limb for a tug game; the internal rope gives enough firmness to make the back-and-forth worthwhile without the toy collapsing.

Additional Information

Care Instructions  

• Spot clean between sessions: Wipe the plush surface with a damp cloth for surface dirt and saliva between more thorough washes, then air dry before giving it back.
• Machine wash if needed: Cold cycle in the machine works; skip the dryer entirely and let it air dry to protect the plush body, squeaker, and crinkle material.
• Check after each wash: After washing, inspect seams, the squeaker area, and crinkle sections for any loosening before returning the toy to your dog.

Safety Instructions  

• Supervised play only: Always watch your dog during play; do not leave this toy with your dog unsupervised, particularly dogs that tend to work through fabric toys.
• Not for aggressive chewers: This toy handles light to moderate chewing only.
• Pull if torn: If the outer fabric tears significantly or internal components become reachable, remove the toy right away to stop your dog from swallowing stuffing, rope, or crinkle pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What sounds does this tiger toy make?

Ans: It makes two sounds: a squeak when your dog bites or squeezes the body, and a crinkle when the toy is compressed or shaken. Both are built into the toy independently, so your dog gets different sounds depending on how they interact with it.

Q2: What sizes does this toy come in?

Ans: Small/Medium at approximately 7 x 8 inches and Medium/Large at approximately 9.5 x 10.5 inches. Pick the size based on your dog's breed and how they play with plush toys, smaller dogs do better with the compact version while larger dogs need more to grip and shake comfortably.

Q3: How does this compare to the Wild Knots Bear?

Ans: Both use the same internal knotted rope skeleton and minimal stuffing construction. The main differences are the character shape and sound. The Bear only has a squeaker. The Tiger has both a squeaker and a crinkle, which gives dogs two sounds during play.

Q4: Is this toy suitable for puppies?

Ans: Yes, with supervision. The soft plush exterior and minimal stuffing make it a practical choice for puppies in the lighter chewing stage. Always watch puppies during play, since teething puppies often chew harder than adult dogs and can work through the outer fabric more quickly.

Q5: Is this toy good for dogs that carry their toys everywhere?

Ans: Yes. The soft plush exterior and manageable weight make this an easy toy for dogs to pick up and carry from room to room. Some dogs use Wild Knots toys as comfort companions, carrying them around the house and sleeping with them between more active sessions.

Q6: Can this be machine washed?

Ans: Yes. Put it on a cold cycle and skip the dryer. Let it air dry fully instead. The dryer can distort the plush shape and may affect both the squeaker and the crinkle material inside. After washing, check the seams and openings before giving the toy back to your dog.

Q7: Is this toy for aggressive chewers?

Ans: No. This toy is built for light to moderate play. Aggressive chewers get through the outer fabric quickly and reach the internal rope, squeaker, and crinkle material faster than this construction is designed to handle. For heavy chewing, KONG rubber toys are the better fit.
