Product description

Engages your dog in mental and physical activity, encouraging natural instincts and reducing boredom-induced behaviours.

The Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Topsy Treat Ball is two toys in one for interactive fun! Featuring a treat ball and a maze ball for a problem-solving challenge and extended play, this puzzle ball keeps your dog busy and mentally stimulated for unrivalled dog enrichment. As a treat-dispensing dog toy, it is a true boredom buster that will keep your dog busy and entertained, perfect for nose work, scent games, and tapping into natural instincts. What's more, the mental stimulation achieved when solving dog puzzles benefits the body and the mind just 15 minutes of mental stimulation for dogs is equal to 30 minutes of physical activity. Your dog will exercise while they play, achieve the sensory activation they crave, and release their animal instincts as they "hunt" and forage for dog treats. This helps your dog release stress, channel energy, and minimize boredom-induced behaviours. The Topsy Treat Ball can also be used with a standard 2.5" tennis ball or Outward Hound's medium-sized Squeaker Ballz dog tennis balls. This Level 1 puzzle is fun for all dogs, regardless of age, size, or breed.

Discover Dog Training Treats to pair with dispensing toys for extra tail-wagging fun!

Nina Ottosson invented the first dog treat puzzle game in 1990. She is widely known among pet parents, dog trainers, ethologists, and veterinarians. Treat puzzle games fight boredom, help reduce destructive behaviours, and exercise your dog's mind. It's hide-and-seek with treats, and dogs love it.

Warnings and Safety:

Always supervise your dog closely, teach your dog how the game works. Do not leave your dog alone with a treat puzzle, do not let your dog chew on the game or pieces. Inspect for damage and remove if broken. For dogs only, not a children's toy. When empty, store until next supervised use.

IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR DOG OWNERS - BALL PLAY SAFETY. Balls are a great toy for interactive play for your dog. Please ensure this toy is suitable for your pet's preferences, chewing habits and size, remembering that no toy is completely indestructible. Always supervise your pet during play, and regularly check your pet's toys, removing and replacing them if damaged or if parts become detached and could be a choking hazard, and seek immediate veterinary attention if any material is ingested.
- Always ensure the ball is large enough for your dog to carry without the risk of accidental swallowing, but small enough to hold comfortably
- Always consider your dog’s jaw shape and size
- Always supervise your dog when playing with a ball
- Safely remove wet and slobbery toys and leave to dry until the next playtime, to avoid accidental swallowing
- Regularly check that your pet’s toys are in good condition, and throw away any old and damaged items that may cause accidental choking incidents
- For toys with squeakers inside, it’s advised you regularly check there are no clear tears in the fabric of the toy that may lead to your dog accidentally swallowing the squeaker
- Never throw the ball directly at your dog to catch, instead throw away for them to chase and retrieve

  • Fun colors

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free for my honest review. I love the concept, but its not a challenge for my Lab. The treats just fall out and don't keep her interested

      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally thought I had selected a different puzzle, so I was a bit surprised when the Topsy Treat Ball arrived. My dog wasn’t a big fan of the ball—it was too large for her to comfortably play with. However, a friend’s dog truly enjoys it and finds it engaging. It seems better suited for larger dogs who like a bit of a challenge with their treats.

        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the first puzzle toy my pups have tried, and they loved it! It offered just the right level of challenge, and they were highly motivated by the treats. Afterward, they took turns carrying around the 'magic treat ball,' clearly wondering why it wasn’t refilling with more treats.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy was very confusing for my dog to figure out. She eventually got it, but it doesn’t roll very good. It is really durable. She is a pretty bad chewer for toys and she hasn’t chewed this one up. Good price point for what it is. I just wish it rolled a little better.

            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I don't think there is anything wrong with this product. But my dog absolutely wasn't interested in it at all. So I sent it to my mom and her doggos and they absolutely love it. Very durable, the orange part is like a thick rubber and bends to get inside the plastic ball part. You can add dog treats to the little blue ball and then pop that in as well. It makes for a good toy for bigger dogs.

              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great toy for my dog. He loves to search for things and he's very curious. I play hide and seek with him. The toy is very durable and it's a great value and effective. Thanks for allowing me and my dog to sample this
