Do you have a bored dog at home? Do you worry about leaving your four-legged friend while you go out on a dinner date or to see a show? Has your dog been destructive or taken to chewing your shoes, furniture, or anything but their chew toys? If so, you might be a great candidate for puzzle dog toys. Dog puzzle toys are a type of interactive dog toys that allows your pooch to solve a problem and get a special dog treat!

Ideal for high-energy, young, or particularly intelligent breeds, puzzle toys help reduce dog boredom and stress in pets and limit destructive behaviours. Here at Homes Alive Pets, we specialize in offering a wide selection of puzzle dog toys, including the snuffle mats, treat dispensing toys, dog enrichment toys, and a wide range of dog interactive toys from premium brands like Outward Hound, Zippypaws, Kong dog toys, West Paw Design, PetSafe and Planet Dog.

Why do puzzle dog toys work so well? The answer comes down to your dog’s natural chewing instincts. While this instinct isn’t wrong, in and of itself, it can be destructive if your doggo doesn’t have the right dog chews and toys. When you redirect the chewing behaviour to interactive and treat puzzles for dogs, you give your pooch something productive and stimulating to do with their natural actions.

You might save a few pairs of your shoes while you’re at it! If you’ve never shopped for interactive dog toys for your pet, grab a bunch of toys to find out what works! Shop our selection of puzzles for dogs, like the Nina Ottosson MultiPuzzle Dog Puzzle or Dog Twister. Or try a foraging mat like the Injoya Enrichment Snuffle Pizza Mat for dogs that love to follow their noses. They can be used as a downtime activity or as a slow feeding tool for dogs that inhale their dry food.

Other dog food puzzles that work well as slow feeders include the Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Wobble Bowl. Your dog must use his paws and nose to spin and bat the bowl to release kibble pieces. Food puzzles for dogs make mealtime fun and force your dog to eat slowly.
