Kong Dog Daily Newspaper Xlarge

Over 3 Feet of Tug, Thrash, and Squeak

The KONG Daily Newspaper is a novelty plush dog toy built for large and extra-large dogs who love to tug, shake, thrash, and squeak. Rolled up and secured with a hook-and-loop strap, it functions as a compact squeaky tug toy. Unrolled, it unfurls to over 3 feet of crinkly, instinct-satisfying length — ideal for thrashing and shaking play.

This interactive dog toy is best suited for large to extra-large dogs and moderate chewers who enjoy high-energy, multi-sensory play.

Material and Construction

The KONG Daily Newspaper features a crinkle fabric exterior that produces satisfying sound during play, paired with a soft baby plush reverse side for comfort. Six squeakers are integrated along the length of the toy to sustain engagement during tug and thrash sessions. A hook-and-loop strap secures the toy in a rolled configuration for compact tug play. When unrolled, the full 3-foot-plus length is available for instinct-driven thrashing and shaking. This is a moderate duty toy — suitable for moderate chewers but not designed for aggressive or destructive chewing.

Texture, Size, and Play Duration Guidance

The crinkly exterior provides auditory and tactile stimulation that appeals to dogs who enjoy multi-sensory play. The soft plush reverse side offers a contrasting texture for dogs who transition between active and calm behavior. The XLarge size is suited for large to extra-large breeds that can comfortably grip, tug, and thrash the full length of the toy. Play duration will vary — high-energy dogs may engage in active tug and thrash sessions, while calmer dogs may carry and mouth the toy at a lower intensity.

Play Style and Functional Use

The KONG Daily Newspaper supports multiple play styles. Rolled and secured, it functions as a squeaky, crinkly tug toy ideal for interactive tug sessions with owners or solo play. Unrolled, the extra-long format invites instinct-satisfying thrashing and shaking — a natural outlet for large dogs with high prey drive. The six squeakers reward interaction throughout the toy’s length, encouraging dogs to explore and engage with different sections. The soft plush side provides a comfortable surface for resting after active play.

Safety, Usage, and Care Guidance

• Moderate to high supervision is recommended — inspect crinkle fabric and seams regularly for signs of wear or squeaker exposure
• Remove the toy if squeakers become accessible or fabric tears significantly to prevent ingestion
• Ensure the toy size is appropriate for your dog — XLarge is intended for large to extra-large breeds
• Store rolled and secured with the hook-and-loop strap in a clean, dry location when not in use

Cleaning and Maintenance

Wipe clean with a damp cloth for light soiling. Spot clean as needed and allow to air dry fully before returning to your dog. Avoid machine washing or high-heat drying, as this may damage the crinkle fabric, plush side, and internal squeakers.
