Designed to engage, stimulate and entertain your canine friend for longer than your average dog toys, K9 Connectables are changing things up in the dog toy department. We decided to try them out for ourselves (or should we say our dogs) and the results are just what we expected them to be!
What is K9 Connectables?
Well, this part is actually cool. These toys are cleverly designed, probing your dog to use its natural instincts to hunt and work for food. As your dog unlocks and disconnects the pieces of these toys, they gain access to hidden treats! These interactive toys can be stuffed with treats or smeared with peanut butter, and if your pooch has the brain power required, it can unlock the hidden yummies inside.
Unboxing
One of the first things we noticed when we opened our pack of K9 Connectables was quality and durability. Obviously, dog toys are not indestructible, but these feel pretty strong and will most likely endure a lot of rough and tumble from an active dog. It also helps that the toys come available in funky colours, which make them more visually appealing.
‘The Original’ K9 Connectables looks like to interconnected balls that are easy to throw. There’s also ‘The Dentist’ which are a bit bigger than the original and work hard to maintain dental health. We also checked out ‘The Tech Bone’, which is a bone-shaped toy that connects to both of the other versions we just mentioned.
Product in action
Even though we have pretty clever dogs (we’re sure we’re not being bias here), our furry friends really had to think about what to do with the Connectables. Each unit has its own level of difficulty, but it’s up to you. While you’re assembling the toys, you can click them in once for an easy puzzle, twice for medium, and three times for hard. The Tech Bone has four settings, but we thought it was a little too much for even the smartest of beagles to handle.
We love the K9 Connectables because they offer something that most other interactive toys don’t: they keep your dog focused on the prize. Plus, even on the easy setting, it’s still a challenge for dogs, which is exactly what you want and need. We’d recommend them any day for their great ability to stimulate dogs on a mental and physical level.
These toys are made from a material called TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer), which is a very soft kind of plastic that happens to be super durable. The other good thing is that they’re nontoxic and BPA free, so they tick all the right boxes.
Although they don’t come cheap, we reckon the K9 Connectables offer great value for money and a mental challenge you won’t be able to put a price on!
