West Paw Zogoflex Toppl Dog Toy, Granny Smith, Small

In terms of treat-dispensing toys, few are as versatile as the deceptively simple Zogoflex Toppl by West Paw.

Does your dog like to get into trouble when you’re not looking, or chew on things they’re not supposed to? Treat toys and puzzle toys like the Toppl can serve as both a distraction and a soothing activity for dogs. Licking (and eating delicious treats) releases endorphins in a dog’s brain, helping to calm anxious behaviors. These types of toys are great for stressful situations (like house parties, car rides, or fireworks) and are also great at relieving boredom—which is frequently the cause of unwanted or destructive behaviors, especially in puppies. Give your dog plenty of stimulation with a variety of toys, treats, and interactive play throughout the day.

Time for crate training? The Toppl, filled with frozen treats, is a great toy to put in your dog’s crate as a reward, and an activity to keep them occupied and familiarize them with the environment.

This toy also functions as a slow feeder. Dogs who eat too fast are prone to digestive upset, bloat, and even vomiting, and their digestion works less effectively when they “wolf” their food down. Using a slow feeder can be a great way to discourage dogs from gulping their food and prompt them to eat at a measured pace.

Features:

• Combine two sizes of Toppl for a treat-dispensing toy that your dog can chase around. Kibble or small treats will spill out of the hole in the side.
• Or, freeze your Toppl with wet treats for a delicious doggy puzzle.
• Use as a slow feeder to help dogs eat at a safer, healthier pace, which means fewer upset tummies and better digestion.
• Made of strong but flexible Zogoflex rubber, so it bounces on hard surfaces without damaging floors.

Why we like it:
