KONG Scrunch Knots Raccoon – Dog Toy (Medium/Large)

KONG Scrunch Knots Raccoon – Medium/Large

KONG put the Medium/Large raccoon at 14.25 inches long and 3.25 inches tall — about 36cm by 8cm — which is the useful number here, because a Scrunch Knots toy only works if the dog can get the whole length swinging. At that size it suits dogs of 30 to 65 lb, or roughly 14 to 29kg.

Inside the flat plush body is a coiled rope, and there is no stuffing whatsoever. The sides stretch, so the raccoon bunches up and springs back as a dog chews along it. A squeaker sits in the body. The ringed tail is the obvious handle for tug.

Performance & Benefits

• No stuffing at all — nothing to pull out and scatter.
• Internal coiled rope running the length of the body for weight and crunch.
• Stretchy sides that produce the flopping movement KONG built the range around.
• Squeaker for added engagement.
• Ringed tail gives an owner a clean hold for tug.

Suitable For

• Dogs of 30–65 lb (about 14–29kg), KONG's stated Medium/Large band.
• Dogs that like a long toy to shake rather than a ball to chase.
• Households that will not tolerate stuffing on the floor.
• Interactive tug and drag games.
• Too long for a very small dog to manage — the Small/Medium Scrunch Knots, sized to 35 lb, is the better fit.

How to Use

• Take the tail, let the dog take the head, and pull steadily rather than jerking.
• Throw it flat for a short retrieve; it drags and slides rather than rolling.
• Sponge clean and hang to dry fully.
• Keep it as a supervised toy rather than leaving it in the crate.

Care & Caution

• The rope core and the squeaker are only safe while the cover is intact.
• Take the toy away as soon as a seam opens rather than sewing it up.
• Supervise play; this is not an unattended chew.
• Use KONG's weight band — a 36cm plush is not a safe mouthful for a giant breed.
