Like humans, dogs can get bored when left at home with nothing to do. If you’ve noticed that your pup’s frustration is being taken out on things like your shoes, the baseboards or your neighbors’ ears, it might be time to invest in some food-dispensing dog toys. There are a variety of them on the market, and they’re fabulous at giving your pooch a project while you’re busy at work or simply trying to get dinner on the table. Food-dispensing toys occupy their brains and noses simultaneously, which can lead to a richer and more relaxed experience for your four-legged friend. Here’s a look at some of the best food-dispensing toys out there!
The Kong: The Kong quickly became a go-to for dog trainers everywhere, and the hollow, rubber toys are the perfect choice when you want to occupy your dog. They come in several sizes, which means there’s a Kong for every size of dogs. Additionally, they make different variations for puppies and adult dogs where the hardness changes. They’re durable and stand up to even the toughest chewers, and you can fill them up with a variety of things. Experts recommend combining half a can of wet dog food and half a cup of dry food, and then filling up the Kong with it. You can freeze them overnight to give your pet even more of a challenge, and they’re dishwasher-safe for easy clean-up!The Wobbler: Like the Kong, the Wobbler has a similar snowman shape, but has a single keyhole opening in the side. You can insert your pets treats or dry dog food by unscrewing the top and bottom, and then let them go to town trying to extract the contents. Unlike the Kong that is more specific to chewing, your dog will have a ball playing with the Wobbler. Spinning it around and sending it flying are what typically cause the food to fall out of the smaller hole.StarMark Treat Dispensing Chew Ball: Does your dog love to play ball? If so, the Treat Dispensing Chew Ball is about to be your best friend. The hollow sphere has openings at the poles, and you can insert kibble or small treats. As your pet plays with the ball and chews it, the contents will fall out. It’s free from latex, vinyl and phthalates, and despite it being softer than the other two options, it still holds up to strong chewers.
