Of the four supporter kits in the Wild Knots Sport Bear series, the Australia one is the obvious pick for a household that watches the home side. Underneath the jersey it is the standard KONG Wild Knots build: a plush bear with a knotted rope skeleton through the body, a squeaker, and a light fill of stuffing so a burst seam is a manageable clean-up. Dogs tend to use it two ways — shaking and tugging while you are involved, then carrying it to a bed afterwards. Keep it for gentle mouths and supervised games; a stitched jersey is not chew-proof.
- Internal knotted rope — knots run through the body so there is something firm to pull against
- Body squeaker — keeps a dog returning to the toy between tugs
- Minimal stuffing — a seam that opens means a handful of filling, not a mess across the room
- Australia jersey — a limited-edition supporter kit, also made in Argentina, England and Italy versions
- Two textures in one toy — soft plush outside, firm knotted rope inside
Care
Spot clean by hand with warm water and air dry. Machine washing and tumble drying loosen the seams on knotted plush, so keep it out of the machine. Check the seams and the squeaker after rough play and take the toy away once the outer layer opens.
