Kong Wild Knot Bears

The scoop

Spotted something for the dog lovers: Kong Wild Knot Bears have hit clearance at Costco, and this 2-pack is ringing up under item #1752187.

These are Kong’s popular rope-skeleton dog toys featuring an internal knotted rope structure that satisfies your pup’s natural chewing instincts. The soft plush exterior is reinforced, and unlike regular stuffed toys, these have minimal stuffing to reduce mess when your determined chewer finally breaches the outer layer. The rope interior keeps the toy intact and interesting even after the fabric shows some wear.

Kong toys typically command premium pricing in the pet aisle, so finding them on clearance is noteworthy. The 2-pack format gives you a backup for when the first bear inevitably becomes your dog’s new security blanket, or lets you split between multiple dogs. Without knowing the exact markdown, Kong’s reputation for durability generally means these hold their value better than bargain bin alternatives.

We’re likely seeing these on clearance due to packaging changes or seasonal rotation—pet toys cycle through regularly at Costco. The Wild Knot line isn’t being discontinued (it’s one of Kong’s steady sellers), so this is probably just warehouse inventory management at work. Standard clearance wisdom applies: if you see it and want it, grab it now because restocks on clearance items aren’t happening.

If your dog goes through toys quickly or you’ve been eyeing Kong products but balking at regular retail prices, this clearance find is worth checking out. Does your dog destroy plush toys in minutes, or are you one of the lucky ones whose pup gently carries them around for years?
