The toy features a simple, bowl-like design that works by having a [treat installed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-treat-mixes) on the underside before being placed on the ground or tossed. A set of ventilation holes will stimulate the dog's sense of smell to encourage them to paw at the toy, while the sliding functionality will prevent it from stay in one place. The Flevo Bowly dog toy comes in two size options to suit small and medium-large breed canines alike, and was developed as a way to keep dogs active and engaged by triggering them in just the right ways. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 17% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Instinct-stimulating Toys for Pets:** Opportunity for creating interactive and stimulating toys for pets to keep them engaged and challenged. - **Sensory-stimulating Toy Designs:** Disruptive innovation potential in developing toys with unique sensory features that stimulate pets' senses and encourage interaction. - **Smart Interactive Pet Toys:** Opportunity to create intelligent pet toys that use technology to engage pets in various ways and provide mental stimulation. ### Where This Applies - **Pet Toy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunities exist in the pet toy industry to create more interactive and engaging toys for pets. - **Pet Care Services:** Opportunity for pet care services to incorporate instinct-stimulating toys into their offerings to improve mental well-being and engagement of pets. - **Pet Tech Industry:** Disruptive innovation potential in the pet tech industry by developing smart toys that use AI and sensors to interact with pets and provide enriching experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Brainteasing Dog Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kanoodle-dog-edition.md) - [Interactive Canine Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-canine-toy.md) - [Dog Enrichment Activities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brightkins.md) - [Interactive Dog Feeder Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cono-activity-toy.md) - [Zoomie-Inducing Dog Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plushdog-toy.md) - [Multi-Benefit Enrichment Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pupsicle.md) - [Responsive Egg-Like Pet Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-pet-toy.md) - [Shelled Smart Dog Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-ball-air.md) - [Intelligent Maze-Style Dog Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hank-pet-bowl.md)
