Neater Pets Stainless Steel Slow Feed Bowl vs Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson MultiPuzzle Level 4 Expert Toy
Neater Pets Stainless Steel Slow Feed Bowl
by Neater Pets
The Neater Pets Stainless Steel Slow Feed Bowl uses a raised center hub instead of maze ridges to slow eating while keeping the design simple and hygienic. Made from stainless steel with a rubberized non-skid base, it is available in several sizes and is a durable option for dogs that dislike plastic bowls.
Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson MultiPuzzle Level 4 Expert Toy
by Outward Hound
The Nina Ottosson MultiPuzzle Level 4 Expert Toy is a challenging treat puzzle with multiple sliding, rotating, and locking components designed to test experienced dogs. Dogs use their nose, paws, and snout to uncover hidden treats in layered compartments, and the removable center wheel allows the difficulty to be adjusted. Built from hard plastic, it is more durable than many basic puzzles but still intended for supervised enrichment rather than chewing. It is especially well suited for dogs that have already mastered beginner and intermediate puzzles.
