KONG Dotz Triangle – Dog Toy (Large)

KONG Dotz Triangle – Large

Dotz are rubber chew toys built around raised nubs and layered textures rather than a smooth surface, and the triangle is the shape that makes them bounce badly — which is the point. A dog that has learned exactly where a ball is going will chase a triangle a great deal further.

The nubs do the other half of the work, giving teeth and gums something to press against while a dog chews, which is where the range's teeth-cleaning claim comes from. This is the Large, barcode 035585401058. KONG no longer list the Dotz range on their own website.

Performance & Benefits

• Layered textures and raised nubs across the body give varied chewing surfaces.
• Triangular outline produces a genuinely unpredictable bounce.
• Nubs work against the teeth and gums while a dog chews.
• Rubber body that stands up to chewing between fetch sessions.
• Large size gives a bigger dog something it cannot take whole.

Suitable For

• Medium and large dogs that chew as well as fetch.
• Dogs bored by a round ball's predictable return.
• Garden and park play on ground hard enough to give a bounce.
• Not a stuffing toy — the KONG Classic in Large or XLarge is the one to fill and freeze.
• Not KONG's toughest grade; a dedicated power chewer wants the black KONG Extreme.

How to Use

• Throw it onto a hard surface to get the bounce the shape is built for.
• Use it for supervised chewing sessions rather than leaving it down all day.
• Rinse grit out of the textured surface after a session on sand or gravel.
• Wash in hot soapy water and rinse thoroughly.

Specification

Care & Caution

• A chew toy has to be too big to swallow. KONG's rule across their rubber toys is to size up where a dog falls between sizes, and to size to the largest dog in a multi-dog house.
• Inspect for splits and missing pieces after chewing sessions, and replace the toy when you find them.
• Supervise chewing; no dog toy is indestructible, as KONG themselves state.
