Snack, lick and feast: Our snack toys for dogs
What are snack toys and what are they used for?
Snack toys for dogs are the perfect combination of feasting and fun and are a great everyday activity. The toys meet different needs and require different skills. Some require brainwork and dexterity, while others are primarily designed to calm and relax your four-legged friend. Overall, snack toys offer your dog many benefits: Active thinking and finding things out will boost your pet’s intelligence and reduce boredom. Your dog also has to use fine motor and coordination skills to get the hidden treats. For dogs that get stressed quickly and need rest periods, toys that allow a lot of licking do an excellent job – by licking, dogs calm themselves down, so they benefit greatly from this type of activity.
Another important point is food intake: this is slowed down by the use of snack toys, which reduces digestive problems and excessive gorging. Thanks to the shared play and learning experiences, pets can also build a stronger bond with their owners and strengthen their trust in them.
Which snack toys are suitable for which use?
We have many different varieties for different uses and needs in play, so that you can find the right snack toy for your four-legged friend. Offer her variety by trying out different toys and changing them every now and then so that the fun factor remains high even in the long term. Our Lick’n Snack place, mats and balls, for example, are suitable for the start and provide rest periods in the dog’s everyday life. You can coat them with different pastes, dairy products or wet food, which your dog can then lick up with pleasure. For a special freshness boost, you can put the filled plate in the freezer so that your dog is kept busy for even longer. Such games are also very suitable for senior dogs with dementia, as they are used intuitively and this activity is therefore not forgotten so quickly.
You like it in animal shape? Then our and Snack Octopus are the right choice. They have slots on the underside that you can fill with small treats or tasty pastes. The octopus also has an opening in the head that can also be filled with small snacks. If you want to challenge your dog even more, you can offer him our snack balls and cubes: They have an integrated obstacle or an adjustable opening, guaranteeing extra-long playtime fun.
The Snack Popper is a rolling food dispenser with which you can give your four-legged friend a lot of fun in a playful way and improve her mental skills at the same time. The principle is simple: as soon as your dog pushes the toy forward or backward, treats are mechanically ejected.
And if you want to get active yourself – with our silicone baking mats you can create your own delicious treats in the shape of bones or hearts for your darling. Whether with meat, fish or vegetables, there are no limits to your creativity. You also decide on the ingredients so that you can create a natural and healthy snack.
