KONG Layerz Forage Hedgehog

FOR DOGS WHO NOSE THEIR WAY TO EVERY LAST TREAT

Some dogs sniff, some dogs dig, and some dogs simply refuse to stop until every treat has been found. The KONG Layerz Forage Hedgehog was made for that last type: a quilted plush hedgehog with multiple layered pockets tucked between soft quills, where treats hide until your dog works through the crinkle and squeak to find them. Made from 96% polyester with crinkle film and built-in squeakers, it turns sniff-and-search time into a full enrichment session that genuinely tires them out.

Why it's a great choice

• Three-dimensional treat hiding: Unlike a flat snuffle mat, the Layerz Forage Hedgehog has layered pockets between quilted quills, giving dogs a more complex, three-dimensional foraging challenge.

• Crinkle and squeakers extend play: Crinkle film and built-in squeakers add sound and texture throughout, keeping dogs engaged through sniffing, shaking, and exploring even after treats are found.

• Encourages natural foraging instincts: Dogs are natural foragers, and hiding treats between soft layers mirrors the sniff-and-search behaviour they would engage in naturally, providing meaningful mental stimulation.

• Works as a plush puzzle alternative: Ideal for dogs who prefer plush over hard plastic puzzles, offering enrichment variety as a change from treat-dispensing balls or traditional puzzle feeders.

Key benefits for your Dog

• Mental enrichment: Working through layered pockets to find hidden treats exercises your dog's nose and brain, providing the kind of focused mental stimulation that genuinely tires them out.

• Satisfies foraging instincts: The treat-find-and-reward pattern mirrors natural foraging behaviour, reducing boredom and restlessness in dogs who need a more active outlet for their instincts.

• Keeps dogs occupied: The multi-layer search means finding all the treats takes longer than a simple puzzle, extending engagement time and giving you a well-earned hands-free break.

• Adds enrichment variety: As a change from standard interactive feeders, the Layerz Forage format keeps enrichment sessions fresh and engaging across the week.

The perfect enrichment upgrade for dogs who take their snuffle sessions seriously.
