The Odin is a dog puzzle toy that challenges your pup to become smarter and also happens to look attractive sitting in your home.
The dog toy is shaped so that small treats can be placed inside and as the toy is played with, the treats fall out. The ball has a unique shape that's almost LEGO-like in structure, meaning that more than one Odin can be connected to another to make toys that are harder to roll, or more challenging to get treats from. Dogs of all sizes are able to play with the toy in a number of ways, including pawing at it, picking it up, pushing it wish their nose—one way or another, nothing stands between a dog and the possibility of a treat.
