FAQs
Bored dogs can be destructive dogs. Most people realize that their dogs need physical exercise, but many don't realize that dogs also need mental stimulation. Interactive and puzzle toys can provide dogs with mental stimulation and stave off the boredom that sometimes leads to unwanted behavior.
Classic KONG
The Classic KONG toy is one of the most versatile toys on the market. It can serve as a chew toy and is durable enough to hold up to average chewers. It also makes a great fetch toy. Many dogs love the crazy ways the KONG bounces when thrown. It's also an interactive toy because you can stuff the KONG with goodies, such as dog-safe peanut butter, or even use it to feed your dog its meals. A KONG with some frozen treats also makes a good distraction for nail trimming time. This veterinarian-recommended toy is made in the United States from all-natural rubber and is available in sizes from XS to XXL. You can also purchase an extreme version for more aggressive chewers.
Outward Hound Hide-A-Squirrel Plush Dog Toy
The Outward Hound Hide-A-Squirrel plush dog toy works by stuffing some cute squeaky squirrels in a plush tree trunk and letting your dog pull them out. Then, you can stuff them back in and repeat. It comes in four sizes from small to ginormous. It works great as a puzzle toy and is also a favorite of dogs who love squeaky toys. You can purchase replacement squirrels separately.
Nina Ottosson Puzzle Dog Toy - Hide N Slide
The Nina Ottosson Hide N Slide comes with multiple compartments with flaps and slides that you can arrange to create different challenges for your dog. It is a good choice for short-nosed dogs that sometimes have problems accessing the treats in puzzle toys. Just pop a few of your dog's favorite treats into the compartments and arrange the slides and flaps to give your dog a mental workout.
Starmark Bob-A-Lot Treat Dispensing Dog Toy
The Bob-A-Lot treat-dispensing toy works by filling the toy with your dog's favorite treats or kibble. The toy then dispenses the treats as your dog nudges and paws the toy. You can adjust the openings to make it easier or more difficult for your dog to get the treats out. If you have a dog that eats too fast, this is a great way to slow down meal times while also keeping your dog mentally engaged.
West Paw Qwizl Dog Toy
The West Paw Qwizl dog toy can be stuffed with kibble, dog biscuits, apple slices, jerky strips, nut butter, carrot sticks or whatever other dog-safe treats your dog enjoys. It comes in large and small and the durable material can hold up to aggressive chewers. It is a good choice for making expensive treats, such as bully sticks, last a bit longer. It is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. The vents on the side of the toy release the scent of the treats inside, enticing your dog to play. In addition to being a fun interactive toy, it works well for games of fetch.
Busy Buddy Tug-A-Jug Dog Toy
The Busy Buddy Tug-A-Jug toy can hold your dog's entire meal. It is composed of a rubbery chew toy, food dispenser and rope toy. It comes in three sizes for extra small, small and medium to large dogs. It is durable enough to withstand aggressive chewing. The toy engages multiple senses by giving your dog toys to chew and tug on while also randomly dispensing treats. The toy entices your dog to play by allowing it to smell, see and hear the treats or kibble inside the jug. The toy can also function as a slow feeder.
Nina Ottosson Puzzle Dog Toy - Tornado
This tornado puzzle toy from Nina Ottosson features sliding cups and rotating flaps to challenge your dog's mind. Each level of the toy spins when your dog searches for treats. The movement helps keep dogs engaged in a fun and challenging way. The 12 treat compartments can hold up to a full cup of kibble.
Paw5 Wooly Snuffle Dog Feeder Mat - Gray

It is FDA compliant and BPA-and-phthalate-free. It is made in the USA and dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. This treat-dispensing toy traps the treats inside so that your dog has to work harder to get them out than with most other treat dispensers.

These great interactive and puzzle toys give your dog's mind a workout and help keep it entertained. There are both treat and non-treat options to suit your dog's play style and dietary needs.
