Material and Construction

The KONG Knots Flatz Lion MD/LG features a soft plush exterior in a flat, wide-body silhouette layered over an internal knotted rope skeleton. The rope skeleton provides structural resistance during tugging and thrashing while keeping the body flexible enough for dynamic flopping movement. Stuffing is intentionally limited to the head only, reducing ingestion risk and simplifying cleanup. A squeaker is integrated to sustain play drive. Durability is rated light to moderate duty — appropriate for medium to large dogs that are play-focused with light to moderate chew strength.

Texture, Size, and Play Duration Guidance

The soft plush exterior is comfortable for medium to large dogs to grab and mouth, while the flat body shape creates exaggerated movement during shaking and thrashing. The MD/LG sizing accommodates the jaw size and play intensity of medium to large breeds, providing enough body length for satisfying thrash and shake sessions. The minimal stuffing construction keeps the body lean and reduces the risk of ingestion during vigorous play. Play duration will vary based on individual play style — thrash- and shake-focused dogs will engage for extended sessions, while dogs that chew aggressively may compromise the plush exterior more quickly. Moderate to high supervision is recommended.

Play Style and Functional Use

Thrash Toy: The flat, wide body is specifically designed to amplify flopping and whipping movement during shaking and thrashing, satisfying instinct-driven prey-mimicking behaviors in medium to large dogs. Tug Toy: The internal knotted rope skeleton provides resistance for owner-led tug sessions, encouraging interactive bonding and physical engagement with medium to large breeds. Plush Toy: The soft exterior provides a comfortable grip surface for carrying and light mouthing during calmer play moments.

Safety, Usage, and Care Guidance

• Moderate to high supervision is recommended, especially for dogs that chew or destroy plush toys

Cleaning and Maintenance

Spot clean the plush exterior with a damp cloth as needed. Allow to air dry fully before returning to use. Avoid machine washing or high-heat drying methods that may damage the plush fabric, internal rope skeleton, or squeaker. Inspect seams, rope integrity, and squeaker function after each cleaning.
