Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson Lickin' Layers Interactive Puzzle Game & Slow Feeder vs Pawstruck Natural Dog Treats Subscription (via Subscribe & Save)
Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson Lickin' Layers Interactive Puzzle Game & Slow Feeder
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.
Pawstruck Natural Dog Treats Subscription (via Subscribe & Save)
by Pawstruck
Pawstruck’s subscription offering is a flexible auto-ship system for natural dog chews and treats rather than a traditional curated toy-and-treat box. Customers choose specific products such as bones, jerky, or yak chews, set a delivery schedule, and receive them regularly at a discount. It works best for households that want dependable access to favorite chew staples instead of monthly themed assortments.
