Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Lickin’ Layers 3-in-1 Dog Toy Treat Puzzle, 10"

These are really great busy puzzles for my dogs. I love the swiveling layers and the fun colors (I don't know that dogs care about that part). There are lots of little waffle grooves for getting peanut butter, yogurt, or whatever you choose for your dogs to lick off of it. It came super fast and wasn't expensive. I wash it after the lick it and put it up, or they could decide to chew on it. It's quite sturdy but my dogs have good teeth!

I have two dogs that bolt their food like they'll never get another meal, and one dog who will only eat when I'm in the room with him, as long as no one is looking at him. I decided to try this feeder both to slow down my puppy from eating too fast and to give her brain something to do. I figured if it worked well for her, I would get a second one for the other fast eater. Aside from taking some time to get the kibble evenly distributed among all the tiers, this feeder works exactly as described. It only took my puppy a few minutes to figure out she needed to push the tiers around to get all her kibble, and it was fun watching her brain try to figure out how it works. She seems to enjoy it, and now it takes her much longer to finish eating. It seems sturdy, and it didn't have any weird odors, so I'm happy and plan on buying the other style next. That way I can switch the feeders between the two dogs to add some variety to feeding time. PROS: - Performs exactly as described - Holds plenty of food for my dogs - Sturdy - Good value for the money CONS: - Takes some time and can be a little tricky to get the kibble evenly distributed in the holes/tiers (your mileage may vary due to kibble size)

Great beginner feeder for our puppy. Good level of challenge! Easy to clean and use

Pretty good dog puzzle, hard to clean. It does come apart, but still difficult. It does keep the dog busy fir a while.

My foster Australian Shepherd mix figured this toy out in about 60 seconds--I wanted to start easy so he wouldn't be discouraged but jokes on me lol. He's on a reduced calorie diet so it's nice that I can fill it with Cheerios, cut green beans, and smear tiny bits of peanut butter and sweet potato or pumpkin on the bottom of the flaps, and he still has a treat that takes some work to retrieve. Frozen would probably work well, too. The toy doesn't turn well with bigger bits of kibble or even broken biscuits, so it's somewhat limited use, but he seems to enjoy what I can smash in there, and it was an inexpensive experiment. Don't find it easy to detach the trays, but it's easily cleaned with my kitchen faucet sprayer and some dishwashing liquid.

I rinse it clean without taking it apart, using the wide spray on the kitchen sink, because I find it difficult to take apart and put back together without making a mess. The fastener clip is small and hard to manipulate. However it rinses off pretty easily, you just have to spin each layer. (Use the gentle or wide spray to avoid water going everywhere. It easily holds about one 13oz can of dogfood. It takes about half a can to fill it enough to make it worth the dog's time imho. My 23lb corgi mix loves it. She can focuses on getting every lick out of every layer, and keeps her busy a while. It has helped her tremendously slow down on her meals and also provides enrichment and entertainment. 13 lb chihuahua mix is less thorough, he grabs what he can easily get, and cries for a refill! 10lb rescue chihuahua mix did not understand it at all and is much more toy motivated than food motivated, but he is a picky eater and did not need slowing down. So, for the purpose intended, slow down my vacuum-corgi mix dog, it's worked fantastic, and she also enjoys playing with it. Good for a dog who likes a challenge, or eats way too fast. I love that it doesn't tip over, she hasn't flipped it over yet with daily use. I've used it with both small dry kibble and wet food, works fine with both. It's easy to smear canned food onto it even if you don't take the layers apart. Doesn't need to be perfect, she's happy, I'm happy

Is my dog a genius? Or is this toy just a little too easy for the average pup? This dog feeder barely slowed down the eating process for my dog when I used it for her kibble. It might be better suited for food you can smear into the grooves, like peanut butter or cheese, but I imagine that would be difficult to clean if the dog doesn't get every last morsel. I ended up getting a more advanced feeder puzzle, which is harder to "solve."

I ordered two different ones and this one was less costly and better made because the bottom weighed more making it harder to move around. The dogs enjoyed them! Kept them busy for 10 minutes or so (I have hounds they are good at this)

My Labs love this. Its good for fast eaters too. It fits about 1 cup of kibble in it. Comes apart easily for cleaning. If I could make one adjustment it would be for a better rubber bottom so it can be pushed around the floor as easily. Otherwise its a grear purchase I think all dogs show have.

We are very pleased with this slowfeeder. It takes our golden almost 40 minutes to finish her meal. We fill it with her kibble and water and we put it in the freezer for the night. She absolutely loves it!

Våran hund ,tar fram den alltid, när den vill ha godis bitar!

Being Labrador/ cocker spaniel cross my dog is always hungry for food and games. He gulps down his kibble in seconds from a bowl so the slow feeder puzzle keeps him busy for longer. A good tip is to add ice cubes that slow the rotation until they have melted. The 3 tiers come apart for cleaning by squeezing 2 sections underneath the bottom tray and then stack in its central column. I’ve bought several of these now for friends dogs and am often asked where to get them when I share my dinner in the slow feeder in cafes and restaurants My own is still going strong from well over a year with its robust design. The puzzle isn’t too frustrating (he has just demolished another design that was too vexing) for just the right amount of intrigue of what’s in other layers

Nice puzzle for our puppy, her kibble fit nicely. Possibly better as a lick mat as she worked it out quite quickly.
