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.
RUNDA 17″ × 21″ Interactive Snuffle Mat for Dogs
by RUNDA
RUNDA’s snuffle mat features thick chenille strands, reinforced edges, and an elevated border that helps keep kibble contained during foraging. With a larger 17 by 21 inch footprint and two suction cups for added stability, it is designed to offer a roomy, mess-conscious nose-work experience for medium to large dogs.
