Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound Dog Tornado Treat Puzzle Dog Toy, Level 2 Intermediate vs Wickedbone SmartBone Interactive App-Controlled Bone
Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound Dog Tornado Treat Puzzle Dog Toy, Level 2 Intermediate
by Nina Ottosson / Outward Hound
This intermediate three-tier rotating puzzle challenges dogs to spin layers to reach twelve treat compartments, with three removable bone-shaped covers that increase the difficulty. 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.
Wickedbone SmartBone Interactive App-Controlled Bone
by Wickedbone
The Wickedbone SmartBone is a bone-shaped smart toy that combines automatic behavior-responsive play with app-controlled movement. It can chase, tease, and avoid a dog on its own, or be driven manually to roll, spin, and flip through a smartphone app. The toy is USB rechargeable and built with an FDA food-grade polycarbonate body, rubber tires, and detachable end caps for easier maintenance. It is best suited for dogs that enjoy chasing motion rather than heavy chewing.
