All right.
I'm your host, Dana Humphrey from Inner Zoo in Nuremberg.
Germany. Thank you.
I'm your host Dana Humphrey, Roving, reporter for Pet Life Radio, and we're here at Inner Zoo in Nuremberg, Germany, day two and I'm here with Keith Benson from star Mark.
Keith, A right, good afternoon.
So I see these awesome new street Ringer bones. Can you tell me a little bit about them and how you created them? Yeah?
Sure.
So these are interactive puzzle toys for dogs and they're in Starmarks Mental Stimulation line of toys. So these are meant to keep pets busy and happy in the homes. We want to keep dogs out of the shelter, so we make it absolutely we make sure that we give them a job to do. So this toy gives a dog a job to do, and that the dog has to figure out how to get this ring right here that's on the inside of the nylon toy.
They've got to use their tongue. They've got to turn their.
Mouth sideways and figure out how to get in there to lick and chew that little treat so that they can extract it out or chew it down and it'll come off. There's five of them that come package with the toy, and then the customer can.
Buy repacks of treats to load back in there.
The nylon toy lasts a really long time for the dog, and the chewable insert treats can be purchased over and over again for just lots and lots of fun for the dog.
These are so there's the orb, there's a bone shape, there's a horseshoe, and even the light bulb.
And each one has a challenge rating on it so the customer can see, this one's a little bit easier for my dog, so maybe I start off with this one, and as the dog gets more advanced with the puzzle toys, then they can work up to something that's really difficult, like the horseshoe here. That's almost a five out of five on the challenge.
Wow, okay, awesome. And what else do you have here at the show that's new and exciting?
So we have our puzzle toy that's over here.
It's actually a treat dispensing puzzle ball, and this is a rectangular shape of a ball that opens up and you use your thumb. Fortunately, dots don't have thumbs, so we'd all be in a lot of trouble, right but since I have a thumb, I can push that lever down and open this toy in half, and you'll find on the inside that it has four chambers and they're indicated.
By dots dot one, two, three, and four.
If I put treats in dot one, it comes out of the hole almost instantly to reward the dog, so that they get that reward really quickly. They want to do the behavior over and over again by rolling this toy around to get they're cookie to get their treat that falls out as the dog learns the system.
I then move the treats to chamber two, Chamber three, Chamber four.
Anything in chamber four has to go from four to three to two to one before it comes out of the hole. So I can basically create a puzzle master with my dog and they can hear the treats rattling around on the inside. So my shepherd, for example, she's been using this for a long time. I put ten or twenty treats in chamber number four. Takes her maybe half an hour forty minutes to get those out. Wow, all about keeping pets happy and occupied in the home.
I love that it's bright green and yellow, and.
It's got a lastm or coating on the outside of it, so it's soft that way, if you have tile floors or hardwood floors, it doesn't make noise. It's really soft rolling around, so it's easier for the homeowner.
Too awesome.
