Nose-work is the cheapest way to tire a dog out indoors, and a toy that hides food turns a two-minute snack into a proper task. This is a crescent moon cut from natural leather and stitched around the edge, with shapes punched through the face so you can push treats or a strip of crinkle paper inside and leave your dog to work out how to get them back out again.

Leather behaves differently from rubber or plush under a dog's teeth. It has enough give to feel satisfying to chew but enough structure to hold its shape, and the stitched edge is what keeps the two faces together rather than a glue that softens with saliva. The cut-out shapes do double duty: they are how the treats go in, and they are what lets the smell out, which is what keeps a dog interested once the obvious route has failed.

• Crescent moon shape cut from natural leather
• Stitched edges rather than glued seams
• Cut-out shapes to hide treats or crinkle paper
• Encourages slower chewing and nose-work
• Several shape options listed, including moon, sun and a heart

Two things worth knowing. And leather is a chew, not an indestructible toy: use it supervised, take it away once pieces start coming off, and keep it from a dog who swallows what they tear.

Who it's for: Owners of moderate chewers who want a foraging toy with something to actually chew, rather than a plastic puzzle that gets solved once.
