Material and Construction

The KONG Knots Flatz Lion 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 duty — appropriate for small to medium dogs that are play-focused with light chew strength.

Texture, Size, and Play Duration Guidance

The soft plush exterior is comfortable for small to medium dogs to grab and mouth, while the flat body shape creates exaggerated movement during shaking and thrashing. The SM/MD sizing is proportioned for the jaw size and play intensity of smaller breeds, making it easy to grab, carry, and shake. 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 small to medium dogs. Tug Toy: The internal knotted rope skeleton provides resistance for owner-led tug sessions, encouraging interactive bonding and physical engagement. 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
• Inspect regularly for torn seams, exposed rope, or squeaker access — replace if worn or damaged

• Not intended for aggressive chewers or dogs that rapidly destroy plush materials
• Store in a clean, dry location when not in use

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.
