Always supervise play with plush toys and remove if the toy becomes damaged. Rotate toys regularly to keep your dog's interest fresh and play sessions rewarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs It Machine Washable?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKONG Floppy Knots toys can generally be surface cleaned with a damp cloth or placed in a laundry bag and washed on a gentle, cool cycle. Always air dry thoroughly before giving back to your dog. Check the label on the toy for the manufacturer's specific care instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs It Safe for Puppies?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KONG Floppy Knots Hippo is designed for adult dogs rather than puppies. The squeaker and rope elements could pose a risk to very young or small dogs who are still learning bite inhibition. Always supervise play regardless of your dog's age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Materials Is It Made From?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe KONG Floppy Knots Hippo features a soft plush outer fabric with an internal knotted rope skeleton and minimal polyester stuffing. KONG products are made to meet rigorous safety standards. If your dog has known sensitivities to specific materials, check the product label or contact KONG directly for full material specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow Does It Compare to a Standard Plush Toy?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike a standard plush toy filled with loose stuffing, the KONG Floppy Knots Hippo uses an internal rope skeleton as its core structure. This means less stuffing to scatter across your floor if your dog breaks through the outer fabric, and the rope adds an extra layer of enrichment — dogs can chew and tug the rope even after the plush exterior wears. It's a more durable, more engaging alternative to a basic stuffed animal.
