How it works
- Set up the egg box
Lay the soft egg tray on the floor (approx. 28 × 16 × 8 cm) and place the eight eggs into the openings and treats in compartments so they’re snug but still easy for your dog to remove. - Let your dog investigate
Offer the toy and encourage your dog to sniff, nudge and gently pull out the eggs. As they explore, they’ll discover squeaks, surprise textures and hidden treats, turning playtime into a soft puzzle challenge.
Features & benefits
- 8 removable eggs, 4 different types – Each egg brings a new texture or surprise (squeaker egg, chicken, yolk or treat-hiding felt circles), keeping the game interesting and varied.
- Built-in snuffle pockets – Felt circles and inner folds give you places to hide kibble and treats inside the eggs and around the outer case, encouraging nose-led foraging.
- Soft puzzle design – Plush construction is gentle on noses, teeth and paws, ideal for dogs who enjoy gentle, exploratory play rather than heavy chewing.
- Squeaky fun – The two whole eggs includes a squeaker for extra motivation, making it engaging for toy-loving dogs as well as food-motivated ones.
- Compact size – Approx. 28 × 16 × 8 cm, perfect for small to medium dogs, and a fun snack-time puzzle for larger dogs.
- Supports mental enrichment – Encourages your dog to sniff, search and problem-solve instead of just grabbing food, helping to provide a calming mental workout and reduce boredom.
- Flexible play – Use all eight eggs for a longer puzzle, or just a few for a quick enrichment break between walks or training sessions.
Enrichment ideas
- Hide part of your dog’s daily kibble inside the treat-hiding eggs and outer tray instead of offering extra treats.
- Mix kibble with a few high-value pieces so your dog occasionally discovers a “jackpot” as they search.
- Start with fewer eggs and shallowly hidden treats for beginners, then increase the challenge by using all eight eggs and tucking treats deeper.
- Combine the Eggs IQ Snuffle Toy with a lick mat or snuffle mat for a longer enrichment routine on rainy or busy days.
- Use it as a calm cool-down activity after training or play to help your dog shift into a more relaxed, nose-led state.
Safety & care
This is an interactive enrichment and play toy, not a chew toy. Always supervise your dog while they’re using the Eggs IQ Snuffle Soft Puzzle Dog Toy and remove it if they start to chew aggressively, rip at the fabric or damage any pieces. Choose an appropriate difficulty level for your dog and give them guidance if they’re new to puzzle toys. Check the eggs and tray regularly for loose threads or wear, and spot clean or gently hand-wash as needed. Allow the toy to dry completely before offering it again.
Dog Games Australia is a tiny Brisbane-based operation: just me, Sal, and my two Chief Toy Testers, Atlas and Ares. I personally choose each toy for its safety, durability and enrichment value, so you can feel good about adding more sniffing, problem-solving and calm, focused fun to your dog’s day.
