Product Information

Full details

The KONG Knots Belly Hippo is designed for dogs who enjoy a mix of active play and comfort. Its key benefit lies in the durable internal rope structure combined with a soft plush exterior, offering both engaging playtime and a comforting feel. A potential caveat is that while durable, it is not indestructible and may not be suitable for aggressive chewers. This toy features a unique, weighty design that encourages natural play instincts like tossing and thrashing, while a hidden squeaker adds auditory excitement. The soft exterior also makes it a suitable companion for quiet time.

Troubleshooting

Toy does not squeak

Ensure the squeaker is not obstructed by debris. If the squeaker is damaged or removed, it will no longer function. Consider replacing the toy if the squeaker is a primary desired feature.
