Tug and shake, rather than sit and shred, is the game the KONG Wild Knots Sport Bear in the Italy kit is built for. A knotted rope runs the length of the plush bear, which is what lets it take a pull without pulling out of shape, and a squeaker in the body restarts play when a dog loses interest. The stuffing level is low by design, so a seam that goes leaves a handful of filling instead of a scattered mess. The Italy jersey is one of four limited-edition supporter kits made on the same body.
- 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
- Italy jersey — a limited-edition supporter kit; Argentina, Australia and England are made on the same bear
- Firm rope inside soft plush — suits dogs that tug and then settle with the toy
Care
Hand spot clean with warm water and air dry — knotted plush does not come out of a washing machine in one piece. Play with it supervised, and take it away once the seams open or the rope core is showing through.
