A hollow, snowman-shaped dog toy made from KONG’s red natural rubber and designed to be stuffed with kibble, peanut butter, or wet food for longer-lasting enrichment.

Made from BPA-, PVC-, and phthalate-free hard plastic, it combines mental stimulation with physical interaction and works well for dogs ready to move beyond very basic puzzles.
