Flexible Crackling Stick for Quiet Fetch and Chewing

Product Description

The KONG Squeezz Crackle Stick is a twist on the favorite Squeezz line, swapping the squeaker for a unique crackle sound that's ideal for quieter play. Bend and twist the flexible material to trigger the crackle, and watch the erratic bounce keep your dog chasing during games of fetch. Brightly colored with an eye-catching sparkle, this stick works well for both indoor and outdoor play.

Features

• Internal crackle sound
• Flexible bendable material
• Erratic bounce design

Benefits

• Crackle Instead of a Squeak: The internal crackle gives dogs an enticing sound to chase without the loud squeak of traditional toys, making it a good fit for quieter households or noise-sensitive dogs.
• Erratic Bounce Keeps Dogs Engaged: The unpredictable bounce pattern means every throw moves a little differently, keeping fetch sessions interesting and holding your dog's attention longer than a straight-rolling toy.
• Flexible for Easy Chewing: The bendable material lets dogs twist and gnaw the stick comfortably, producing the crackle sound with light pressure.
• Bright Sparkle Finish: The eye-catching jewel-tone colors with a sparkle effect make the stick easy to spot in grass or on the floor, so it doesn't get lost during outdoor sessions.
• Built for Fetch: Designed specifically with toss and retrieve games in mind, the stick gives dogs a satisfying toy to fetch repeatedly during active play sessions.

How to Use

Usage Instructions 

• Trigger the crackle: Bend or twist the stick gently to produce the internal crackle sound and get your dog curious about the toy before starting a play session.
• Use for fetch: Toss the stick across a yard or open indoor space and let your dog chase it down; the erratic bounce adds unpredictability that keeps the retrieve interesting every time.
• Let your dog chew lightly: The flexible material lets your dog gnaw and bite the stick to produce more crackle sounds during quieter solo play between active fetch sessions.

Additional Information

Care Instructions 

• Wipe down after outdoor use: Wipe the stick with a wet cloth after outdoor sessions to remove dirt, grass, or mud that collects on the flexible exterior during fetch.
• Air dry before storing: Let the stick dry fully if it gets wet during cleaning or outdoor play before putting it away to avoid moisture sitting against the material.
• Store away from extreme heat: Keep the stick out of direct, prolonged sun or heat exposure, which can cause flexible plastic materials to warp or become brittle over time.

Safety Instructions 

• Not for heavy chewers: This toy is designed for light to moderate chewing. KONG recommends their rubber toys for tougher chew sessions, since this stick will not hold up to aggressive chewing.
• Remove if damaged: If the stick develops cracks, splits, or any pieces start to break off, take it away immediately to prevent your dog from swallowing plastic fragments.
• Remove all packaging first: Before giving the toy to your dog, remove all packaging and tags completely to eliminate any choking risk from plastic wrapping or paper tags.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What sound does this toy make?

Ans: It makes a crackling sound. The crackle comes from an internal component that activates when the stick is bent, squeezed, or chewed. It's a quieter alternative to squeaker toys, which can work well for dogs that get overstimulated by loud squeaking.

Q2: What sizes does this toy come in?

Ans: It comes in medium (7 inches) and large (11 inches). The medium works well for moderate-sized breeds, while the large gives bigger dogs more length to grip and carry. Pick the size based on your dog's breed.

Q3: Can I choose the color?

Ans: No, the color ships at random. You won't be able to request a specific color when ordering, so whichever shade you receive is what will arrive.

Q4: Is this toy good for aggressive chewers?

Ans: No. This is built for light to moderate chewing and fetch, not heavy chewing sessions.

Q5: Can this toy be used indoors?

Ans: Yes. Because it doesn't have a loud squeaker and the crackle sound is more subdued, it works well for both indoor and outdoor play. It's a good option if you want a fetch toy that doesn't create the sharp squeak that some squeaker toys produce.

Q6: How does the bounce work on this toy?

Ans: The stick has an erratic bounce, meaning it doesn't bounce in a straight, predictable line like a ball would. This makes fetch more interesting since your dog has to react to where the stick actually goes rather than where a typical toy would land.

Q7: Is the crackle sound loud?

Ans: No, the crackle is meant to be a quieter alternative to a squeaker. It produces a distinct crackling noise rather than a sharp squeak, which makes it more suitable for households or situations where a loud squeaking toy isn't ideal.
