Watch as your dog becomes a puzzle master! With this toy, your four-legged friend will develop its skills as a seeker and gatherer! Additionally, this puzzle shapes the animal's focus and precision, helps combat boredom, teaches problem-solving, and provides positive emotions. It is an excellent way to stimulate your pet physically and mentally. Most importantly, it gives them plenty of joy and carefree fun! The ball is made from hard, easy-to-clean rubber, free from BPA, PVC, lead, and phthalates. All components can be washed with a sponge and water with a mild dish soap. How to play? Start the game by filling the compartments of the green ball with your dog's favorite treats or dry food. Place the squirrels to block the openings with treats to prevent them from falling out. To begin with, you can make it easier for your dog by only partially inserting the plush toys. (You can increase the challenge by hiding the squirrels completely.) By sniffing and using their paws and mouth, the dog must extract the plush toys from the ball to reveal the rewards. Dogs are smarter than you think - sometimes we just need to encourage them a little to engage in mental effort.
