Product Information
Full details
The KONG Low Stuff Stripes Pig is designed for pet owners seeking a durable yet soft plush toy for dogs of all sizes who enjoy both interactive play and comforting downtime. The key benefit of this toy is its minimal stuffing design, which provides the satisfying texture of a traditional plush while significantly reducing mess during play; however, it is important to note that like all plush items, it is not intended for heavy, aggressive chewers.

FAQs
Is the KONG Low Stuff Stripes Pig safe for puppies?
Yes, its soft texture and lightweight design are generally well-suited for puppies, provided they are supervised to ensure they do not ingest any fabric pieces.
Can I put this toy in the washing machine?
Hand washing is recommended to ensure the squeaker and plush fibers remain in good condition.
Is this toy indestructible?
No, it is a plush toy. While it has minimal stuffing, it is not designed to withstand aggressive or sustained chewing.
Why is the squeaker tone lower than other toys?
The low-tone squeaker is specifically engineered to provide an engaging, distinct sound that often appeals to dogs that are bored by high-pitched toys.
What should I do if my dog swallows a piece of the fabric?
If your dog ingests any part of the toy, contact your veterinarian immediately for professional medical advice.
Troubleshooting
The squeaker has stopped making sound
Check the internal squeaker for moisture or dirt buildup; if the mechanism is permanently broken, the toy can still be used for fetching and cuddling.
The toy has developed a tear
If the tear is minor, it can be stitched closed with heavy-duty thread; if large amounts of internal material are exposed, discard the toy to prevent ingestion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This toy requires no setup; simply remove all packaging tags before giving it to your pet. It is compatible with dogs of all sizes, from small to medium breeds. To maintain the toy's hygiene, spot clean it with a damp cloth if it becomes dirty. For deeper cleaning, it is generally recommended to hand wash the toy with mild soap and let it air dry completely to preserve the integrity of the squeaker and the plush fabric.
