Product Information
Full details
The KONG Knots Belly Gorilla is designed for medium to large dogs that enjoy a combination of active play and comfort. Its key benefit lies in the unique internal rope ball skeleton, which provides satisfying weight and movement to trigger natural thrashing instincts while maintaining a soft, plush exterior for post-play napping. While the toy is durable, it is not a heavy-duty chew toy and should be monitored for wear, especially with aggressive chewers who may eventually compromise the soft outer fabric.

FAQs
Is this toy indestructible?
No, the KONG Knots Belly Gorilla is designed for active play and cuddling, but it is not a chew-proof toy. Always supervise your dog during play.
Can I leave this toy with my dog while I am away?
It is recommended to supervise your dog with any toy until you are confident they will not attempt to destroy or ingest parts of the product.
Is this toy machine washable?
Surface cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to preserve the integrity of the internal rope and the squeaker.
What size dog is this best for?
This toy is specifically designed for medium to large dog breeds.
What is the main benefit of the internal rope?
The internal knotted rope provides a durable skeleton that adds weight and erratic movement, which is much more engaging for dogs than a standard unstuffed or lightly stuffed toy.
Troubleshooting
The squeaker stops making noise
Squeakers can become dislodged or damaged if the dog chews that specific area. Check for small tears in the head area and ensure the squeaker is not posing a choking hazard.
The plush exterior is beginning to tear
Small tears can be mended with heavy-duty thread if you are skilled at sewing, but if the internal rope becomes exposed or the filling begins to leak, it is best to retire the toy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This toy requires no setup; simply remove all packaging tags before giving it to your pet. It is sized for medium to large dogs, making it appropriate for breeds that enjoy toys with a bit of weight. To maintain the toy, spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth if it becomes dirty from outdoor play. While the outer material is plush, it should not be machine washed at high temperatures as this could damage the internal squeaker. Always inspect the toy before each use; if the plush exterior becomes significantly torn, remove the toy to prevent your dog from swallowing pieces of fabric or the internal rope components.
