Nocciola Carrot Patch Squeaky Plush Puzzle Dog Toy

This was a very fun dog toy according to my observations. It is a 14.3 inch piece of foam covered with a soft fabric. There is no odd foam odor. The pieces seem well-made, and the concept was quite engaging for the pets. The toy has 12 removable carrots on this “carrot farm.“ This provides mental simulation and also could be used as a slow feeder for dry food for dogs. You can add the dry food under the carrots in the holes; there are also hidden pockets on the sides of the foam. Each carrot is also a toy with a squeaker, so this actually has some versatility. All three of my dogs enjoyed it, but each would guard it, so I had to make sure that only one dog at a time had access to it. These are the dynamics of my dogs — not a statement about the toy, except to say, they were all interested in one of their turn. Tradeoffs: The toy is very lightweight. Even with a nonslip bottom, my dogs enthusiastically pushed it across the floor. Also, with a total of 13 pieces, it was like picking up after human toddlers - carrots are everywhere. A Bichon Frise and a Golden mix both played with a toy. The golden had more trouble getting his nose and mouth into the hole, but it was more of a challenge, not an impossibility. He was the one who picked up the entire piece and took it to his own bed. I guess so he could focus lol. The smaller dog was able to access the treat easily, but she is actually the most destructive chewer. As with most toys, I had to remove the entire thing away from her after she retrieve the treats. Overall, it’s a great toy. It provides good mental stimulation for dogs and each owner will need to decide how much access they have to it. It is also just a very cute toy.

Very cute interactive toy. Great game for rainy day play. May be hard for some pets to understand concept. should be played with a person to provide praise and treats in the "cubbies" of carrots
