Planet Dog's 'Link' Treat Toy Challenges with Interlocking Shapes
Laura McQuarrie — June 15, 2017 — Lifestyle
'Link' is the name of a new treat toy for dogs from Planet Dog that promises to challenge dogs, or at least slow them down, when it comes to eating.
While there are a number of puzzle-based treat dispensers for dogs, few of them can be reconfigured in many ways, meaning that there is little challenge for dogs that have quickly learned to master the contraptions. Link sets itself apart by taking the form of two translucent interlocking tubes that can be put together in a range of new shapes. As Planet Dog describes, pets of all sizes will be challenged to "toss, flip and shake with joy as they try and get their treat out."
