Your pooch could use a bit of mental enrichment<\/a> in its day. Did you know that 15 minutes of mental stimulation is equal to 30 minutes of physical exercise? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small dogs and large dogs alike love to work for their food, and there’s even a term for it! It’s called contrafreeloading<\/a>, and it’s the driving force behind why dogs love food puzzles so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five great mental stimulation toys for dogs that help to entertain and provide mental stimulation for your best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tail Teaser Flirt Pole <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"flirt<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of the best interactive dog toys is the Tail Teaser<\/a>. This flirt pole<\/a> encourages mental stimulation for dogs by drawing out their natural hunting instincts. If you have ever seen cats jump, pounce, and play with a wand toy, this toy brings out those same play movements for dogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We LOVE wand toys for dogs for multiple reasons, but being able to avoid touching slobbery toys might be the biggest perk. Dogs will go crazy chasing after the fuzzy squeaker toy at the end of the wand. Mix up slow and fast movements to keep your pooch guessing! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wand for interactive play comes with a durable nylon cord that lasts. It also includes a replaceable plush toy that you can attach to the end of the wand in case your pooch finally kills the first one (when you aren’t looking of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Do not leave toy lying around aggressive chewers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
