FAQs - Outward Hound Snuffle N' Treat Puzzle Ball 

What is so special about the Outward Hound Snuffle N' Treat Puzzle Ball & Treat Dispenser Toy?

This puzzle ball combines physical activity with mental stimulation by encouraging dogs to use their problem-solving skills and sense of smell to find hidden treats. It features plush toys for added engagement and adjustable difficulty levels to suit dogs of all skill levels.

Can I use this toy with wet food or treats?

It's recommended to use dry treats or kibble to prevent mess and maintain the integrity of the plush toys. Wet food may soil the puzzle ball and plush chipmunks, making cleaning more difficult.

How do I introduce the puzzle ball to my dog?

Start by showing your dog the hidden treats and placing the chipmunks only halfway into the compartments. Gradually increase the difficulty as your dog becomes more skilled at retrieving the treats.

How long should my dog play with the puzzle ball each day?

Short, supervised play sessions of about 10-20 minutes are ideal. This prevents overstimulation while offering enough enrichment to keep your dog engaged.

Is the Outward Hound Puzzle Ball suitable for puppies?

Yes, the puzzle ball can be used by puppies, but supervision is key. Adjust the difficulty based on their age and skill level to prevent frustration.

How can I make the puzzle ball more challenging for my dog?

To increase difficulty, hide the chipmunks deeper in the ball or use smaller treats that are harder to access. You can also fill all treat compartments to maximize engagement.

Can multiple dogs play with this toy at the same time?

It's best for one dog to play at a time, especially if treats are involved, to prevent competition or resource guarding between dogs.

How do I prevent my dog from chewing on the toy?

Always supervise your dog during play and remove the puzzle ball once the treats are retrieved to avoid chewing. This toy is designed for puzzle-solving, not for heavy chewing.

Can I wash the plush chipmunks?

Yes, the plush chipmunks can be spot cleaned or hand washed with mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely before reuse to maintain their shape and softness.

What size treats should I use with the puzzle ball?

Small, dry treats or kibble that fit easily inside the compartments are ideal. Avoid oversized or sticky treats that may get stuck or dirty the toy.
