Key Features:
Interactive Puzzle Design:
The Nina Ottoson Dog Hide Nโ Slide features a clever combination of sliding discs and swiveling flaps, creating a multi-action puzzle that captures your dogโs attention and encourages problem-solving. As your dog interacts with the toy, they must figure out how to move the pieces in different directions to access the hidden treats beneath. This interactive design provides mental stimulation and keeps your dog engaged, making mealtime or playtime more enriching and rewarding.
12 Hidden Compartments:
The puzzle includes 12 hidden treat compartments where you can place your dogโs favorite treats, kibble, or small snacks. Each compartment is concealed under either a sliding or swiveling section, adding variety to the challenge. The number of hiding spots ensures plenty of opportunities for exploration, keeping your dog motivated as they work to uncover each reward. Itโs a fun and stimulating way to slow down fast eaters or make daily feeding time more interactive.
Non-Removable Parts:
Safety is a key focus of the Hide Nโ Slideโs design. All of the puzzleโs moving pieces are built-in and non-removable, preventing your dog from taking them out or accidentally swallowing them. This ensures safe play without the risk of choking hazards or missing parts. The secure construction means you can confidently allow your dog to enjoy the puzzle on their own once they understand how it works.
Durable Construction:
Constructed from sturdy, BPA-free, and non-toxic materials, the Nina Ottoson Dog Hide Nโ Slide is built to withstand repeated play sessions and enthusiastic use. Its durable design ensures longevity even for dogs who love to paw and nudge with intensity. The materials are safe for pets and easy to maintain, making the toy both practical and dependable for everyday enrichment.
Non-Slip Base:
The Hide Nโ Slide is equipped with anti-slip pads on the bottom to keep it firmly in place during play. This non-slip base prevents the puzzle from sliding around the floor as your dog interacts with it, allowing them to concentrate on solving the puzzle rather than chasing it around. The stable design supports confident, focused play and is especially helpful for dogs who are still learning puzzle-solving skills.
Easy to Clean:
Maintaining the Hide Nโ Slide is simple and convenient. The toyโs smooth, easy-to-clean surface allows you to wash it with warm, soapy water after use. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before refilling with treats or kibble. Its straightforward cleaning process ensures that it remains hygienic, safe, and ready for your dogโs next play session.
The Nina Ottoson Dog Hide Nโ Slide provides the perfect balance of challenge, fun, and reward. It encourages your dog to think independently, builds confidence, and supports mental wellbeing through stimulating play. Whether used for daily enrichment, as part of mealtime, or simply as a way to keep your dog entertained, this durable, safe, and thoughtfully designed puzzle toy offers hours of engaging fun. By turning problem-solving into play, the Hide Nโ Slide helps strengthen the bond between you and your dog while keeping their mind sharp and active.
