Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound Hide N' Slide Puzzle Game Dog Toy

I got this to give my greyhounds something to do when they are stir crazy during too hot or too cold/wet weather. Both hounds solved it within 30 seconds, but that's ok. I can put kibble in the doors and have them work for their dinner. I don't think it's a bad thing that they figured it out so fast; if they're having fun, that's what counts. That said, I'm definitely going to look for more challenging puzzles as well so they have some variety. What I like about this one is that none of the pieces come off, so nothing can get swallowed. Obviously, don't leave a dog unattended with any toy, but this one is safe if you turn your back for a second or two.

*Pros*: -great mental game -tires her out after a few games -durable *Cons*: -too easy for extremely smart breed (giant schnauzer *15 week old PUPPY!) *I had to actually make the game harder for her by shoving the treats in the circle moving compartments instead of the dips below the flaps. In the end, it took me just as much time to set up the game than it does for her to figure it out. In the end: great game, just not meant for extremely smart breed

My shepherd mix is pretty lazy when it comes to puzzle toys but she loves this. It’s just easy enough that she doesn’t walk away from it after 1 minute. To make it more challenging I put little pieces of sliced cheese, takes her much longer to get them out than regular treats or kibble!

The puzzle is well made and hefty and I bought this one because none of the pieces came off. My Goldendoodle emptied all the compartments within 2 minutes, it’s definitely way too easy for him. If you’re looking for something to keep your dog mentally active for longer than a couple minutes I wouldn’t recommend it.

My dog loves this. She sees me pull it out and her tail starts wagging. It keeps wagging the whole time she uncovers the treats. It was challenging enough that she didn't get it figured out completely the first time, but by the second or third she was a pro. Still, it takes her time to go through the motions, so it remains a positive exercise for her. We are pleased with the purchase.

My dog loves when I get this out for her! It is relatively easy but still fun. I also really like that the pieces are not removable. I put treats in the large compartments then cover them with the swivel pieces. I push the sliding pieces up against them so she has to move those first, then the swivel pieces to get to the large compartments of treats. I've found mini treats small enough to put in the small holes of the sliding pieces as well. So she also has to slide those over to the large compartment so they can drop into it then push it back to get those treats. She figures it out fast but she still enjoys working and sniffing around for her food

This a great little puzzle for my dog. It didn't take long to figure it out, but he always gets excited when he sees me putting treats in it. Seems like a quality puzzle and the price was good, too.

My 9 year old cat Sweet Pea eats out of this toy everyday. She got the idea on the 1st use & sat on top of it purring after she was done. We've been using it for months with the same result daily. I'd buy it again.

This is one of the first puzzles I ever bought and it still my favorite. Although it is not a difficult puzzle; my dog can empty it in less than 60 seconds. I love it because it is so durable. There are no removable pieces which I think is a big plus. My dog has never chewed on it (unheard of) and it is in great shape despite being used several times a week for the past 2 years. Highly recommend this puzzle. If your dog is new to puzzles this would be a great one to start with.

Picked this up from a local pet store for my service dog to keep his mind busy. He’s really smart and never had a puzzle toy before. He took to this like a fish to water. He loves food, all food, and this being a food toy was all he ever needed for his life to be complete. Now I have to look for more of these types if toys.
