- Description
The KONG Wild Low Stuff Squirrel is a plush toy designed for dogs who enjoy shake, squeak, and carry play with a realistic prey-inspired design.

At 0.25 lbs, it is well-proportioned for a wide range of breeds.

Material & Construction
The Wild Low Stuff Squirrel is built with dense premium soft plush fur that provides a realistic texture and a comfortable feel for mouthing and carrying. The defining construction feature is the low stuffing fill — less internal material means the body moves more naturally and flops realistically during shaking, creating dynamic movement that engages prey-drive instincts more effectively than a fully stuffed toy. The low fill also means less material to scatter or ingest if the outer fabric is compromised. Internal squeakers provide auditory feedback during interaction, rewarding shake and squeak play. The realistic squirrel silhouette — including body proportions, limbs, and tail — creates natural grip points for dogs during shake and carry play.
Texture, Size & Play Duration Guidance
The dense plush fur exterior is soft and realistic to the touch — comfortable for dogs to mouth, carry, and rest with. The medium size at 0.25 lbs is appropriate for small to medium breeds, generally dogs up to around 40 lbs, who can comfortably grip and shake the squirrel. Larger breeds may find the proportions less satisfying for shake play. Engagement duration varies by dog: gentle players who enjoy shaking and carrying soft toys may interact with this toy for extended sessions. Dogs who are aggressive chewers or who routinely destroy plush toys will likely compromise the outer fabric quickly — close supervision is essential for these dogs, and a more durable toy type is recommended.
Play Style & Functional Use
Plush Toy — Shake & Carry: The floppy, low-stuffed body is the defining functional feature of this toy. It allows dogs to grip the squirrel and shake it with satisfying, realistic movement that mimics natural prey-shaking behavior. The realistic squirrel shape and limb structure create multiple natural grip points for varied shake and carry interactions.
Squeak Play: Internal squeakers reward interaction during shake and solo play, providing auditory feedback that encourages continued engagement. The squeakers are positioned within the body and activate during shaking and mouthing.
Comfort Use: The dense soft plush fur makes this toy a comfortable carry and cuddle companion for dogs who rest with soft toys between active play sessions.
Safety, Usage & Care Guidance
Close supervision is recommended during all play sessions. Inspect the toy regularly — check seams, fabric integrity, and squeaker housing after each use. If the fabric tears, stuffing becomes accessible, or any squeaker becomes exposed, remove the toy from use immediately. Even with low stuffing, ingestion of fill material or squeaker components can be harmful. This toy is not appropriate for unsupervised use with dogs who chew through plush toys. The medium size is intended for small to medium breeds.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Spot clean with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely before returning to your dog. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as heat and agitation may compromise the seams, plush fur, and internal squeakers. Store in a dry location when not in use.
