Why you need interactive puzzle toys for your dogs
The key to a happy and healthy dog is regular enrichment
Interactive puzzles are highly recommended by veterinarians and dog trainers to stimulate your dog mentally and physically.
Activities, like puzzle toys, that allows them to engage in innate behaviours such as sniffing, chasing, foraging and playing satisfies them mentally and physically. Dogs who don't receive the stimulation they need tends to find other ways to enrich themselves, resulting in destructive behaviour around the house.
Prevent indigestion, regurgitation and vomiting
Interactive puzzles are fantastic slow feeders. If your pup scoffs down their food in the span of less than 1 TikTok video - you know how important it is to teach them how to take their time during meals. Dogs (much like all of us), can get pain and discomfort caused by indigestion. Eating really quickly can cause your dog to swallow more air, and this could cause them to vomit or regurgitate their food.

My dog tries to use brute force to get their treats out of the puzzle, including turning and tossing the puzzle around. What should I do?
Supervision is definitely required if your dog is prone to chewing up their toys, or uses brute force to get their treats out. The trick that works with many pups we know is to guide them as they try to unlock the puzzle initially - making sure they don't use brute force to get the treats out. If they start using brute force, take the puzzle away from them. Reinforce positive behaviours by praising them when they do the right thing, such as using their nose to push the puzzle pieces.
My dog is too smart for puzzle toys
If it only takes your dog a couple of minutes to work out their puzzle toy, it does not mean that your dog is too smart for them or that puzzles don't have any value. In our opinion, you might have to use them another way to engage with your dog.
Just like how you play tug with your dog, you may use puzzle toys as a tool to engage, interact and bond with your dog. Hide treats in different places of the puzzle each time and let your dog sniff it out over and over again. It makes for a fun bonding activity for both of you!
