SPOT Ethical Pet Interactive Seek-A-Treat Shuffle Bone Toy Puzzle That Will Improve Your Dog's IQ, Specially Designed for Training Treats

We have several of these. I like them because they aren't plastic and they only have 10 treat holes. (some treat puzzles have a lot of hidden places and when you want to give a quick treat it can take time)Our 13lb dog loves it.Just don't ever submerge it or run water on it. The material it is made of will swell up and never work again (made that mistake once). Damp rag clean only.

My 4 dogs are now obsessed with their 'puzzles'. I've bought I total of like 4 or 5 different ones now, but we started with this design, which I highly recommend. It's a great starter puzzle for all sizes and ages of dogs. The only negative I found is, it's made of a type of corregated or pressed cardboard. So once 2 dogs with fairly wet noses have done this puzzle, I have to wipe it down and leave all the sliding pieces in the middle so everything can air dry. But it's really not that big of a deal, I love this puzzle and my dogs love it even more. I simply use their own dog food in it either as a treat or a way to give a fast eater their dinner. My dogs caught on extremely fast when starting with this puzzle. The only other downside is that on wood floors or tile it will slide around if you aren't holding it for the dog. At first, I would just put this on their silicone food mat so it wouldn't slide around. Then I decided to add little round texture grips to the bottom of the puzzle which have worked perfectly.

I spotted this "SPOT Ethical Pet Interactive Seek-A-Treat Shuffle Bone Toy Puzzle" (that's quite a name . . . we just call it "Puzzle") thanks to one of my collie-group friends on Facebook, and decided to order one for my boy Silver for his eleventh birthday last October. I can't say it provided any challenge to his I.Q., since he simply looked at it for a second or two and then immediately knew how to work it. (One or two earlier reviewers mentioned what a success it is with their rabbits, and . . . well . . . if a rabbit can figure it out, how could it possibly be much of a challenge to a COLLIE? LOL) But I have to say he absolutely LOVED it from the first moment he tried it! I load it with shredded cheddar cheese and bits of roast beef, and it instantly became one of his morning highlights each day. . . . I will say this, however, regarding its cleaning. This product seems to be made of a rather sturdy compressed wood (although I agree: as with any toy, keep an eye on your dog whenever he's in contact with it, since it theoretically could come apart with chewing), but over time one or two of its sliding disks grew more difficult to move back and forth. Eventually I decided to wash it, or at least rinse it off, but its compressed wood seemed to absorb the water and this only made the problem worse. The disks became truly stuck in place, and broke apart when I tried to ply them loose. But since Silver would have been heartbroken to lose his "Puzzle," I immediately ordered a duplicate replacement from Amazon. So he continues to enjoy his "Puzzle" each and every morning! For the price, this is a wonderful "toy" . . . just be sure to supervise your pet as he or she uses it, and try not to get it wet should you need to clean it.

I was looking for something fun for my dog and so picked this up.It's interesting because in the center you have two holes, while at the ends you have three.So to look at all the holes the dog has to move just one knob in the center, but two for the channels at either edge.What was interesting was that she could move the buttons away from the edge but doesn't have any way to side them side to side. It was a revelation watching her puzzle that out.I made the mistake of trying to clean it. It got a bit goopy from her slobber, so I ran it under the faucet.Mistake!This is made of fiberboard, and so expanded when it came in contact with water.Now the buttons are a little bit soaked and will not slide.The channel that the buttons slide in has also expanded, making it difficult for me to move.Right now I have it over a heating vent, hoping that drying it out will help return it to its original shape.If that doesn't work, maybe a hair dryer, or the microwave?Bit of a design fail if you cannot clean it.Still, when I unboxed it, I liked the fact that it wasn't plastic. Oops!

Great fun and stimulation for dog.

I am a dog trainer, so my bar is fairly high. I feed all my dogs their meals in kibble toys - for physical/mental enrichment. They all love their daily challenges! My little smart, high energy dog has used probably 15 of these styles of toys successfully, including "slider" toys. This dog is almost 4, and does not destructively chew. Unfortunately, the SPOT Ethical Interactive Seek-A-Treat Shuffle Bone, is a very poor product IMHO due to poor construction. My first initial review was more stars, with my concern only about the material it was made from (absorbs wet/saliva). But after about a week, I see that it's more than just that. This dog is chewing the item because pieces of kibble and crumbs can VERY easily get stuck in gaps all along the parts of this puzzle. There are gaps all over the toy wide enough for kibble pieces to get caught in, and also under the slider itself so it won't move - the dog gets frustrated and tries to chew them out. Yup, I am monitoring the entire time, so he won't ingest any of the particle board, but this toy is too risky... and does not work as designed. It will be tossed. Might work with "just the right sized kibble" and with a dog that is very delicate about pushing the sliders. None of my dogs LOL.

I have a 7 month old Standard Poodle puppy that is into everything! I thought this would be a fun way to channel his energy and allow him to use his super smart brain. This was a perfect starter puzzle for him! It’s well made. Not too difficult for a puppy his age and it worked just as I’d hoped. Keeping him busy doing something that allows for learning and fun with the reward of the little hidden treats I added for him. My daughter also purchased this same item for her 2 yr old pit bull and he also enjoys playing with it! I highly recommend this item. You can’t go wrong for the price!

My pup loves this game. It's well made, good durability for toughness and sturdiness is also good for an 8 month old lab.

A mi perro le encanta, sólo que si no cuido el juguete se astilla porque es frágil ante las mordidas, sin embargo me parece muy bueno para estimular la mente de tu mejor amigo

It is great for my bunny’s I use it for my bunny’s and they love it I would definitely get it if you are not sure if you want to get it

This is an easy puzzle that my pets enjoy. Using a nose or a paw, my dogs and cats slide the wooden buttons across to reveal the treats they love. I don't bring it out every day, but I do try to let them have a go a couple of times each week. Even my kitten was able to use this puzzle. My pets don't become bored of the Seek-A-Treat they way children might - and I think it gives them a sense of satisfaction for having "worked" to find their rewards. It is durable and fun for pets of all sizes - from my 6 lb. toy Rat Terrier to my Decker (giant) Rat Terrier.

Todo bien y mi mascota se divierte mucho se empieza a deshacer un poco personificó sirve y entretiene gracias gracias
