Our Pets Sushi Puzzle Dog Toy – Top Dog Tips

Challenging your dog both mentally and physically is vital for his overall health and well-being. Physical challenges allow your dog to burn energy and stay physically fit. Mental challenges help him learn and keep his brain sharp. Puzzle toys, like the Our Pets Sushi Puzzle Dog Toy, are a simple way to get your pooch up off the couch and get his brain working.

All dog owners know how to meet their dogs’ basic needs. Food and water, safety, shelter – we take care of all of these needs on a daily basis. But, did you know that mental stimulation is also needed everyday in order for your dog to live a healthy lifestyle?

A bored dog may become depressed, stressed or anxious. They may also develop naughty behaviors, like chewing or howling, in order to entertain themselves. If you don’t provide enough mental stimulation for your pet, it may result in serious problems for both of you.

Studies have shown that playing with a toy that makes a dog think and use abilities he already has in a new way will tire him as much as a walk around the block! What would your dog say if he was talking about his ideal toy? He’d probably tell you that he wanted something fun that would peak his interest and keep him entertained while you were away, like a puzzle toy!

Our Pets Sushi Puzzle Dog Toy

This toy gives your dog a chance to play hide-and-seek with some treats or kibble. There are small holes under each sushi piece. The pieces slide back and forth to reveal one treat at a time.

As you can see in my video review above, my Labrador loves this puzzle toy. She is extremely food motivated, so she can get all of the treats in under 5 minutes. My smaller dogs spend 10-15 minutes rooting around trying to find all of the treats.
