The solid rubber body features KONG's patented Denta-Ridges — raised, textured ridges that run along the toy's surface. These ridges create a gentle abrasive effect against teeth and gum tissue during chewing sessions. The overall build is moderate duty, appropriate for medium dogs with light to moderate chewing habits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTexture, Size, and Play Duration Guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe surface is firm yet slightly flexible, offering satisfying resistance without being overly rigid for medium-sized jaws. Sized specifically for medium dog breeds, the stick shape is proportionate for comfortable gripping, carrying, and fetching. Engagement duration will vary based on individual chewing behavior — most dogs will engage in moderate-length sessions, with more persistent chewers extending play time.
