Dog Lickin' Layers Puppy interactive feeding toy by NINA OTTOSON Level 2

NINA OTTOSON Dog Lickin' Layers Puppy interactive feeding toy by NINA OTTOSON Level 2 is designed for puppies and small dogs to combine mealtime with mental stimulation. The multi-layer construction includes shallow wells and recessed sections with varying textures to hide wet or dry food. Level 2 difficulty introduces more compartments and tactile variation compared with simpler designs, encouraging licking, foraging and problem-solving behavior while slowing down rapid eating.

Advantages

This interactive feeder slows down feeding and reduces gulping, helping digestion and portion control. Its layered design and textured surfaces encourage prolonged licking and engagement, which can calm puppies and reduce boredom. The toy is suitable for both wet and dry food and supports gradual development of foraging skills through increasing complexity. The materials are designed for repeated use and easy cleaning.

Suitable for

• Puppies and small breed dogs learning to forage
• Owners who want to slow down fast eaters
• Feeding wet food, soft treats or small kibble pieces
• Short enrichment sessions or supervised play during mealtime

How to use

Place an appropriate amount of wet food, soft treats or small kibble into the different wells and recessed sections, spreading it across layers to increase challenge. Offer the toy on a flat surface and supervise the puppy until it learns to extract the food by licking and nudging. Adjust the amount and distribution of food to match the puppy's size and feeding needs. After use, remove leftover food and wash the toy according to care instructions before the next session.

Usage recommendations

Introduce the toy gradually, starting with easier placement of food on visible surfaces, then move to deeper or more recessed compartments as the puppy becomes accustomed to the puzzle. Use for supervised mealtimes or short enrichment sessions to prevent ingestion of loose pieces and to monitor food intake. Combine with positive reinforcement and appropriate portion sizes to support healthy feeding habits.
