Paw Flake is a plush, scent-based dog enrichment toy inspired by the familiar packaging of hawthorn cake. Designed as a treat-hiding play object, the toy reveals layered hawthorn cake-shaped plush discs when opened, encouraging dogs to explore, sniff, and search through gentle interaction.
By translating a nostalgic cultural snack into a slow-paced play experience, Paw Flake supports dogs’ natural foraging instincts while promoting calm, focused engagement. The design emphasizes emotional enrichment over overstimulation, offering an alternative approach to everyday dog toys. Paw Flake highlights how cultural references and thoughtful interaction design can enhance the emotional connection between pets and their owners.
Paw Flake 是一款以山楂餅包裝為靈感的狗狗絨毛藏食玩具。打開柔軟的外層後，內部會展現多層山楂餅造型的絨毛結構，每一層皆可藏入零食，引導狗狗透過嗅聞與探索逐步發現。
此設計將日常熟悉的文化元素轉化為節奏緩慢的嗅覓遊戲體驗，回應狗狗天生的覓食本能，同時避免過度刺激。Paw Flake 以互動與情感為核心，重新詮釋狗狗玩具在陪伴與心理層面的價值，展現設計如何透過文化與行為洞察，深化人與寵物之間的連結。
