KONG Dog Toys Wubba Zoo Koala

A koala in a toy box full of tennis balls tends to get picked up. The KONG Wubba Zoo Koala puts the standard Wubba mechanics — squeaky body, long floppy tails, minimal stuffing — behind an animal character, and it is a game rather than a chew: you hold a tail, the dog thrashes, and the squeak restarts things when interest drops. Stocked in Large at about 240 g, which covers dogs in the 14–29 kg band. The Wubba Zoo Mandrill is the same toy in a different animal.

• Koala character on the standard Wubba body
• Long floppy tails — a handhold for you, something to shake for the dog
• Squeaker in the body to bring a dog back to the toy
• Minimal stuffing, so far less mess than a conventional plush if the cover opens
• Reinforced fabric built for tug and shake rather than sustained chewing

Size and materials

One size, Large, weighing about 240 g. Reinforced fabric with a squeaker and minimal filling. Hand wash in warm water and air dry; the washing machine and dryer are hard on the stitching. Take it away once the fabric tears or the squeaker is exposed.
