When to Choose Nina Ottosson Dog Brick Interactive Treat Puzzle
Dogs who need mental stimulation and owners who want to slow down treat time
The Nina Ottosson Dog Brick is the best intermediate puzzle toy in this comparison — the combination of sliding compartments and removable bone covers creates genuine cognitive challenge for most dogs. The food-safe, dishwasher-friendly construction makes cleanup effortless. Smart dogs may outgrow it quickly, but for most dogs it provides 15-30 minutes of focused enrichment per session.
Strengths
- Level 2 puzzle difficulty with sliding compartments and removable bones challenges dogs mentally
- BPA, PVC, and phthalate-free composite material is food-safe
- Dishwasher-safe top rack for easy cleaning after treat use
Limitations
- Smart dogs may solve the puzzle too quickly — limited replay difficulty
- One size only — may be too large for very small breeds or too small for giant breeds
- Plastic construction can be chewed and damaged if used as a chew toy
When to Choose ZippyPaws Skinny Peltz No Stuffing Squeaky Plush (Large 3-Pack)
Plush toy lovers whose owners want to avoid stuffing mess and ingestion risks
The ZippyPaws Skinny Peltz solve the biggest problem with plush toys — stuffing everywhere. The no-stuffing design means no mess when the inevitable tear happens, and three squeakers per toy keep dogs engaged. At roughly $7.60 per toy in the 3-pack, the value is solid for a plush set. Best for supervised play, not unsupervised chewing.
Strengths
- No stuffing design eliminates the mess and ingestion risk of traditional plush toys
- Three squeakers per toy provide extended auditory stimulation
- 3-pack includes fox, raccoon, and squirrel for variety
Limitations
- No-stuffing plush is still tearable by moderate to heavy chewers
- Squeakers can be extracted from torn toys — requires supervision with aggressive players
- Flat design may not appeal to dogs who prefer toys with volume and shape
