Interactive Dog Food Puzzle Toy - Treat Dispensing Dogs Slow Feeder - Indoor Boredom Stress Relief Smart Dog Game for Smart Training - Refillable Tricky IQ Feeding Game

Was hesitant to get this, as I have large dogs and thought this might not be sturdy enough for them. It is surprisingly well made and easy to put together. Pleasantly so!Our puppies has made tremendous amount of improvement this since we got it. At first, he didn't really grasp why the treats weren't dropping to the floor and we had to keep tapping the bottles to tell him where the treats were. Once he figured that out, he'd use his paws to get them moving until the treat would drop out. He's since developed a strategy where he'll get them spinning with his paw and then tap it with his nose to stop it and make the treat drop it. Not only does he get some brain activity, but we are very entertained and amazed at how quickly he learned and adapted his strategies to getting food out. I highly recommend this toy!

I have an active 5 mo old puppy. My plan is to have him be a therapy dog when he turns 2. I am always looking for brain games and problem solving activities to keep him busy and learning. The interactive dog food puzzle works well for his and my needs. He learned it quickly but needed some guidance at first so spend time with your pup to teach him/her to use paws to get the bones to spin. Once he caught on which didn't take long he enjoyed the game. He actually does a dance when I bring it out because he is so excited. Sometimes I put his whole dinner in it so I'm not over feeding him and giving him extra food. I highly recommend this game.

I think it's well made. It's not actually wood but for a dog toy ... I didn't expect that. It's very easy to put together too.You DO need to teach your dog how to use it. Like others it took at least two 10 minute sessions to show my mini Aussie how to use it. I got the Large and it was perfect for him (he's about 25lbs). I put the bar on the lower level to make it easier.Once I taught him how to use it. He wouldn't stop until I took it away! LolAlso my dog is prone to chewing if he gets frustrated... Before he learned how to use it I accidentally left it in the same room so he bite the corner but that was my fault. Once he learned he never bit the frame again.Easiest way to teach them is have them give you a paw near the bottles but move ur hand before he touches it. If he touched it at all I secretly dropped a treat so he figured out that touch bottle equals treat. At first he got scared with the big ones spinner but now he is fine with it and goes nuts.Eventually don't drop a treat until it spins , over fill bottle(s) so it easily dispenses at the beginning.Soon enough they'll figure it out. Worth the money in my opinion. Very happy with it and I think it's a very cute design.

 It’s a great concept to occupy my 4 year old boxer with severe separation anxiety. It took her a couple of days to get the hang of it, and she was getting frustrated and decided to chew the wood that supports the “bones”. Now that she has it figured out , she loves it. The reason I gave 3 stars was because she was able to chew the wood. Maybe a chew proof material would work better.

My Rhodesian Ridgeback loved the mental challenge this toy brings! The toy is very well made and easy to assemble. Ari spent about 1/2 hour before he learned how it works. It also slows down his eating b/c he is a gulper. I was just wondering if there are replacements for the plastic food holders, b/c he is an aggressive chewer and has chewed 2 of the bottles. He is 75 pounds and only 7 months old so he still does a lot of chewing. If I could get replacements that would be great.Other than that, the toy is fantastic and well made!

This Toy was extremely difficult to put together due to the screw holes being so small. The tiny L Screwdriver Provided really might have been the problem seeing as a Power tool or better handled screwdriver would have made putting this together super easy. So guess it is more of the tools you own yourself. Anyway since it was so hard to put together, had to give it only four stars. The toy itself is Ingenious! Have a Service Doggy who has been doing a lot of just laying down during this summer... if his owner is busy playing on a laptop, then he deserves an expensive new toy to play around with too! Unfortunately.... (and to no fault of the Pupper Pamper Interactive Dog Toy) Loki is an incredibly well trained Service Doggy, and he sees this toy as a test of patience rather than a toy of fun... Loki simply refuses to paw at it, though he knows there are treats inside. When he really wants one, he walks over to to the Pupper Pamper Toy, then lays down in front of it and puts his paws on the wooden base, then comes back over and lays down. You could leave food on a low table, or in a chair or on the couch or even on the floor right in front of Loki.... even though he will REALLY want it, as purr training he will not touch it until he is told it is alright to. Loki knows to paw at it, he sits in front of the toy, pawing towards it but never actually touching it, he so wants to do it yet refuses to (he is such a good doggy)! He knows not to touch things if they are not his and doesn't seem to get this toy is his. So.... this toy did not work fur us, maybe sometime in the future Loki will realize it is alright to get all of the treats he wants from this, but until then, pawing at this toy as Loki watches, waiting fur purrmission to take the fallen treats is good enough.

Beware, hardware has changed from the 4 allen screws/wrench (still showing on the directions included) to actual screws that are too long for the pre-drilled holes. They do provide a mini-screwdriver, however the screw tip is on the long end and it's very difficult to get any torque on the short end. So the screws go in until the end of the pre-drilled hole, and then stop. Even with my drill, which I wasn't supposed to need. After putting my drill to max torque, I was finally able to seat the screws. Then I discovered that one of the bone "buckets" is defective: inside the hole for the dowel pass-through is an extra ring of plastic that stops the dowel in its tracks. I guess we were not meant to enjoy this item, it goes back today.
