Puzzle toys are great for mentally stimulating your canine companion and keeping them occupied. These toys are great for when you need to keep your dog busy feed into their natural curiosity.<\/p>\n
Similar to the premise of the game hide-and-seek, Outward Hound Hide A Squirrel<\/a> requires your pup to search a plush tree trunk in search of some squeaky stuffed squirrels. Once your furry friend can get a good grip on a squirrel, they start to pull them out one by one. After Fido has yanked out every last plush squirrel, just stuff them back in the tree trunk and watch them do it again. Since Hide A Squirrel is food-free, it’s an excellent option for dogs on any sort of diet.<\/p>\n Retail Price: $12.99 – $29.99<\/em><\/p>\n KONG toys have long been a favorite choice among our canine companions. You can stuff the rubber toy with Fido’s favorite treats or dog-safe peanut butter. Freeze the peanut butter, and you’ll have your pup distracted for even longer. Even though Kong has a variety of toys, our favorite is still the Kong Classic Dog Toy<\/a> that comes in six different sizes.<\/p>\n Retail Price: $7.49 – $24.99<\/em><\/p>\n For dogs out there who really like a challenge, the Nina Ottosson Outward Hound Puzzle Toy<\/a> might be just what they need. This wooden toy requires Fido to maneuver levers in order to reveal treats. Be careful, though, because if you let your pooch play with this toy for too long, they might start to outsmart you!<\/p>\n Retail Price: $24.99<\/em><\/p>\n Expect some loud and exciting playtime with the Starmark Treat Dispensing Bob-A-Lot Dog Toy<\/a> because it requires your pup’s face and feet. Fill up the toy with Fido’s favorite treats, then customize the opening to determine how many treats your pooch can “bob” out of it at a time. With an anti-slip weighted base, this Starmark dog toy will wobble and fall – but always return to its upright position.<\/p>\n Retail Price: $14.99 – $21.99<\/em><\/p>\n Just like the previous toy, Bob-A-Lot, the OurPets IQ Treat Ball<\/a> is filled with treats and has a unique opening that allows you to decide its difficulty and how many treats can escape at a time. This toy is more of a one size fits all type of toy. If you notice that it’s too hard for Fido, widen the opening. If your pup is getting all of the treats out in a matter of minutes, maybe tighten up the opening a bit.<\/p>\nKONG Classic Dog Toy<\/h3>\n
