The KONG Layerz Hedgehog is a plush foraging toy for medium dogs who prefer soft, sniff-and-shake enrichment over hard puzzle feeders. Sized around 15 x 20 x 10cm, it suits dogs roughly 7-16kg. Best matched to light and moderate chewers — determined shredders will get through the quilted layers quickly, so it's the wrong pick for power-chewing breeds.

The toy is built from quilted fabric layers with hidden pockets between them. Tuck small treats or kibble inside and your dog has to nose, paw and shake the toy to work them free, tapping into natural foraging instincts. It's a useful option for indoor enrichment, rainy-day boredom, or slowing down a dog who bolts food. KONG rates it for light to moderate chewing only, not tug or fetch.

Owners pick this one when they want mental stimulation without the rattle of a plastic puzzle feeder. It packs down soft, works on carpet or tiles, and gives food-motivated dogs a job to do between meals.
