KONG - Rewards Ball - Ultra Durable Interactive Treat Dispensing Dog Toy - For Large Dogs

Product Information

Suitable for small and medium dogs, this feeding mat has eight different types of compartment that you can hide treats and kibble in, encouraging your dog to puzzle it out. It simulates an environment that allows your dog to forage naturally and slows down his eating, which helps avoid boredom and destructive behaviour. It is machine washable for easy care. This is an advanced level puzzle game that is designed to challenge your dog’s ability to learn sequential steps to seek and find hidden treats. Boredom is not a good state for a dog. Nearly all dogs love their regular walks, but that still leaves plenty of hours to get up to mischief at home if they aren’t stimulated. Using puzzle toys is one of the best ways to challenge a dog mentally. They can alleviate boredom and stress as your dog tries to work out the puzzle, instead of creating their own fun – which can be destructive. They also provide a useful activity for senior dogs or those recovering from injury, as they can work with their nose rather than straining their joints.

KONG - Rewards Ball - Ultra Durable Interactive Treat

Make feeding time fun with this puzzle feeder! You can hide the food in the compartments, where the dog can smell it and use his nose to shift the lids. This helps boost their problem-solving skills as it stimulates their mental faculties while they are motivated to find their grub. It also nurtures their foraging instincts of working for their food – and helps them not to wolf the whole lot down in 10 seconds, thereby helping their digestion.

Cozies

It’s nice and sturdy, and unlike most dog puzzle toys it’s made of wood. This looks lovely and is easy to wipe clean with soap and water, but might stain if you’re using meat as treats. The rubber non-slip feet are pretty good at stopping the tray sliding around the floor as your dog noses around, but if you have a pushy dog, he’ll probably end up scraping it around the kitchen. It doesn’t hold a huge amount of food, so it’s best suited for treats or small meals.
