Great dog puzzle
Love this for my pups! I have Pittie rescues who are getting older so I want to stimulate their brains to keep them sharp in their late years. This puzzle is a great tool. It is very sturdy and heavy with great grips on the bottom so it doesn’t slide around easily. I am very impressed!

High quality – I just happen to have a lab
I would give this 5 stars, except for the one fact that I have a lab who can’t be slowed.This is an intricate, very well made, tricky for humans, food bowl for dogs. The three levels take time to fill with food, just wish my dog took that long to remove the food. It’s easy to clean and fun colors. If my dog wasn’t a vacuum, and actually chewed her food, I think this would have slowed her down – and would have gotten a 5 star rating.
I have been using this product for almost a year now and it has improved my French bulldogs coat and skin. No more rashes or dandruff!!! –
My dogs love this toy
I used this product for my French bulldogs definitely keeps them entertained. At first I was worried they would have a hard time getting the treat with there flat face but oh they have no problem getting to there snack!!! The size is what I expected it feels durable and serves its purpose

Easy to use and great quality
I have a four month old puppy that I am always looking for enrichment toys and activities for. This is great because of the three different levels and the great price while also keeping my dog engaged. I also like it because it is a tougher material so not easy for my dog to chew on, and I don’t have to worry about it being a choking hazard. Great purchase!

watch out for flying food
my puppy loves it and i love that it provides a bit of physical exercise + mental exercise on top of feeding him. however, when the chamber is rotated TOWARDS him (as it should, right?), food flies out the back end and sometimes creates a block that stops the puzzle’s ability to rotate. when the chamber is rotated away from him, it works properly. however, that’s been difficult for him to process.

Best quality puzzle toy we’ve purchased yet
We have multiple puzzle toys for our dog. She’s a 90 lb lab. The others have always been sticky when they slide or move. Or, the plastic is a cheap quality. This one is super heavy and durable, but the pieces move very well. I’m very happy with the quality. For my dog, it’s a bit too easy, but that’s not the company’s fault. You just might think about buying a more complicated puzzle.

I recommend!
This has been the greatest item! My dog used to INHALE his food but after getting this puzzle feeder, he eats at a normal pace. This has been great for keeping him engaged and is great as a mental tool to keep him from being bored. It’s sturdy, easy to wash and isn’t able to be chewed on due to quality and thickness of the material. I love the bright color of the bowl as well. I would definitely recommend anyone with a pet to buy this!

This 3-tiered challenge slows down the aggressive eater and makes the pup work for it! It is sturdy, and very easy to clean. Although my boy is now older, he still enjoys this as a change from time-to-time. This is a good long-term investment!

My corgi eats fast. She also has a lot of energy. I just gave her the puzzle with her dinner, and she’s learning to paw and use her nose to boop the covers open. The plastic scratching is quite loud, but it held up to the usage! The holes were great for just under 1/2 cup of dry food.

This puzzle toy is a great way to entertain your dog. After initially being afraid of the noise and movement, my 11 year old Chihuahua now loves it and checks it throughout the day for more food. I spent some time during the first few days to introduce her to the mechanics of the puzzle and slowly increased the difficulty over several weeks. Here are the different levels I used:1. Kibble in the hole with the knob covering2. Kibble in the hole with the fin covering3. Kibble in the hole, covered by the fin, and the knob pushed against it4. Kibble in the knob so she has to slide it to the hole and back5. Kibble in the knob and the fin covering the holeShe has it mastered now (about 3 weeks total) but I believe she still enjoys the activity of hunting for her food. She’s learned to use her nose and paws together (she really only used her nose before) and has gained confidence not only with the toy but with new situations she encounters (getting around obstacles, for instance).The toy itself is well made and easy to clean. The pieces seem sturdy but my dog is not a chewer so I can’t speak to that. I have already bought two more products from the same line and am equally as pleased.

Kept the neurons in my puppy’s brain sparking. Anything that slows his eating down is great in my books.
