Product Information
Full details
The KONG Ringaroos Dog Toy is designed for pet owners seeking a versatile, interactive toy that balances rough play with comfort. It is perfect for dogs who enjoy a mix of tugging, fetching, and snuggling, combining a durable rope ring with a soft, plush exterior. While it offers excellent engagement through textures and sound, it is important to note that like most plush-based toys, it may not be suitable for aggressive power chewers who focus exclusively on shredding.

FAQs
Is this toy safe for heavy chewers?
No, this toy contains plush components that are intended for play and comfort, not for heavy or aggressive chewing.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the squeaker and the structural integrity of the rope. Machine washing may cause damage.
Is the squeaker replaceable?
No, the squeaker is integrated into the character and is not designed to be removed or replaced.
Can I use this for water play?
While the materials are durable, the plush character will absorb water, making it heavy. It is best used in dry conditions.
What is the best way to play tug-of-war with this?
Hold the rope ring firmly and allow your dog to grab the plush end, ensuring you keep the tension gentle and appropriate for your dog's size.
Does the size of the toy matter?
Yes, choose the size that best fits your dog's mouth. The Ringaroos is designed to be easily carried by most common dog breeds.
Troubleshooting
The dog is not interested in the squeaker.
Try squeezing the character during play to mimic prey sounds or engage the dog in a game of hide-and-seek with the toy.
The rope is starting to fray.
Trim loose threads with scissors to prevent them from becoming ingestion hazards, or replace the toy if the structural integrity is compromised.
The toy smells after outdoor use.
Hand wash with warm water and a mild, pet-safe soap and ensure the item is dried thoroughly in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for the KONG Ringaroos; the toy is ready for play immediately out of the packaging. It is compatible with small to large breeds, though owners should observe their pet's play style before leaving them unsupervised.
To ensure the longevity of the toy, perform a visual inspection for loose threads or tears before each play session. If the toy becomes heavily soiled, it can typically be surface-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild pet-safe detergent. Allow the toy to air dry completely to prevent odors from developing within the rope and plush components.
