KONG Classic Stuffable Dog Toy (Natural Rubber)
by KONG
The KONG Classic is the original snowman-shaped chew toy made from KONG’s natural red rubber formula. Its hollow interior can be stuffed with treats, peanut butter, kibble, wet food, or frozen mixtures for longer-lasting enrichment, while the unpredictable bounce also makes it useful for active play and fetch.
Stellaire Chern Snuffle Feeding Mat
by Stellaire Chern
A large-format snuffle feeding mat with multiple hide zones including pockets, cups, folds, and flaps that create a more complex nose-work challenge. Made from a blend of polar fleece, felt, and soft cotton materials, it can be used flat or rolled and includes anti-slip backing and storage straps. It is machine washable and is designed for dogs that need more variety than standard grass-style mats provide.
