KONG Classic Stuffable Dog Toy
by KONG
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. Its erratic bounce also makes it useful for fetch and general chewing, and it comes in multiple sizes and rubber firmness options to suit different dogs.

by Nina Ottosson / Outward Hound
Lickin' Layers combines a slow feeder, licking enrichment toy, and treat puzzle into one design with layered or textured surfaces for wet foods and compartments for dry food. Dogs engage by licking, sniffing, and flipping or working through the structure to access rewards, making it a calming option for food enrichment and slower feeding.
