Really gets my dog to think and he enjoys it!
My dog really seems to like this, and I do too, as I see it really makes him engage his brain and puzzle-solving skills. I put his favorite treats in some of them and he loves the combo of treats and puzzle! Would definitely recommend. This is the first treat puzzle toy I've gotten him and I'm definitely going to get another in the near future. (small 20lb dog)
One year and still going
We’ve had this harness for just over one year and it’s still in great condition! It’s been through many hikes, play dates, car rides and more. It’s gotten soaked a handful of times and hasn’t faded, frayed or rusted. It’s easy and quick to put on once you get the hang of it and our airedale doesn’t seem to mind it. The front clip didn’t completely eliminate pulling, but it works better than the back clip. All in all this harness has been perfect for us. Our airedale is about 45-50lbs and we have the size small.
Also for cats, successfully enough
I took a spring on this "dog activity" on the recommendation of several credible youtube cat reviews. Like the most successful puzzle feeders, this one contains a variety of challenges ranging from easy to challenging. My cat has 2 figured out so that's a happy start, and even a satisfactory finish. (Maybe she won't ever master the flip-up technique, time will tell.) Of course, designed for dogs, this toy is a bit oversized for a cat but that's not a deal breaker. This company designs nice stuff.
Perfect puzzle!
Our 2 dachshunds destroy plush toys instantly, so we’ve been looking for options to keep them occupied and mentally stimulated that will last longer. The Nina Ottosson puzzles were the perfect solution. We have this puzzle and a Level 1 puzzle. The dogs love both! We put a portion of their dinner in them almost nightly and it keeps them busy. We either give this puzzle to both to work on together or give it to our more food motivated dog and the easier one to our other. Highly recommend!
LOVE IT - I am basically a sales rep to my friends for this toy
From the moment I learned about this toy, I have been recommending it to all my friends with dogs, even before I had a dog of my own. They have all loved it so far. And now that I have my own dog, of course I got one. He loves it too! He really likes these toys that can make his regular food more interesting - I put 3-4 pieces of kibble in each of the sections and a small treat in each one, and that is enough for him to go ham. After purchasing it, I learned that the lids just fold over - they don't snap closed - so they are easy for the dogs to open up with their nose, a paw, or (like my dog) gripping the little tab in his mouth and moving his head to open it. The lids also can snap off fairly easily, but they also snap back on with ease. I would definitely recommend keeping an eye on your dog if they are prone to chewing on random items since the lids and bones come off. Depending on the size of your dog, and their determination with pawing it, it is prone to sliding around on hard floors, so keep that in mind when you are setting up the area for the toy. The only thing I would change is to make it dishwasher safe. My boy Mathew has a lot of drool and it's always pretty well slobbered on by the time he is done. Not having to wash it by hand would be great, especially since the little red containers are not intended to come out of the toy.
Picky dog's new food bowl
I know this is supposed to be a game for my dog, but trying to get him to eat has been a pain. No health issues, he likes his food, he's just a very picky dog. So, I put his food in all spaces and took out the white bone "game" pieces. He has been eating with no problem now. My little 14 lb Chihuahua mix is loving this... for now. I'd have to say, this was money well spent if it's getting him to eat. I've tried everything. I guess he just needed to play with his food.
Fun times!
I was skeptical that my 11 year-old Bichon would like this or be able to do it. But to my delight, she really loves it! It is fun because you can hide the treats under the bones, under the red pieces and also inside the red pieces. She spends time searching for each, because she has to get the bones out of the way to get under the red pieces, and she gets them all! I like how she has figured that out. I may have to kick it up a notch (as recommended), and hide this under a blanket or something to make it more challenging, but she really likes it, and so do I!
Excellent Puzzle for All Breeds
Love this puzzle! I have seen it enjoyed by many pups. My young Border Collie, prefers to use his paws to open the lids, move the bones and slide the sliding compartments to find the kibble/treats. My mom's XL Pit Bull carefully removes each lid (as they are meant to come off if the pup prefers) to find each kibble and then slide the sliders with his nose. My mom's miniature dachshund struggled a bit, so we added pieces of rope to the white bones and he uses them to pull the bones out, then his nose to open compartments and slide the sliding boxes. My friend's schnoodle removes the lids with his mouth, this uses his paws to get the other kibbles out. Entertaining for us owners and a great way for our pups to tire out with some mental energy!
Holds a cup of kibble
I put my dog’s dinner in this every few days. It holds a whole cup of kibble if you evenly distribute it throughout the hide holes. My dog gets so excited when she see me take it out. Do not let your dog play with this after meal time is over as the plastic is not durable. My dog chewed a lid right up when I wasn’t paying attention. I am planning to get the next level of difficulty since this puzzle is very easy for her. It takes her about 3 minutes to eat dinner with this puzzle so it is just a little better than a slow feed bowl for that purpose.
Poodle loves this toy
We have a miniature poodle that is older, so she doesn't do a whole lot other than sleep and get pets. I wanted a toy to keep her a little more active. She loves this puzzle and if she is wanting attention in the afternoons while I am working, it's a good distraction for her. She loves finding the treats and will work on it for about 30 minutes. She isn't very good at removing the white bones, but great at the rest.
