Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson Lickin’ Layers 3-in-1 Interactive Dog Feeder Puzzle, Lick Mat & Slow Feeder Bowl - Mental Stimulation Toy for Medium & Large Dogs, 2 Cup Capacity, 10.4 in x 2.8 in

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

My dog loves the Lickin’ Layers toy! It’s the perfect size for small dogs and keeps them entertained much longer than a regular lick mat. I like that it has multiple layers to explore — it really challenges them and slows down their eating in a fun way. The design is sturdy and easy to clean, which is a huge plus. I use it with peanut butter, yogurt, or wet food, and it works great every time. Highly recommend for mental stimulation and enrichment!

Superior product designed with thought. This item is weighted on the bottom to keep it from sliding around while the dog noses the levels around. The levels rotate smoothly. The product feels solidly built. Similar items purchased fell apart and were returned.

I love this simple new addition to our feeding routine. The colors are nice too. My dog took to this easily but I fear its too simple. She can whiz through it after 3 feedings from it. It still is entertaining at least & gives her something to do besides our snuffle ball, snoop & scatter/sniff feeding. Just another layer to our routine which I love & appreciate

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)

Bought this for our 6MO large breed puppy because he tore apart the smaller one we had. It’s big so he has to search out and find his food which slows him down and occupies him for at least 30 minutes or more depending on how we fill it. This would be great for any adult dog or slightly older puppy of medium or large breed. I typically sprinkle in dry kibble and then spread/press wet food in with a butter knife over top. Sometimes we use a couple of squirts of Kong treat filler and small training treats for him to pass time in his crate when we leave the house. It holds large adult dog kibble easily and there’s more than enough room on each level to spread kibble and treats. Can be used in freezer during warmer months for special broth treats, easy to clean and take apart/put together you can definitely use it on the top rack of the dishwasher. Only worry is depending on how often/hard you use it, the plastic teeth might wear down for the level connections. So far mine has taken a small beating because it’s used everyday but it’s still in good shape and I will absolutely buy another when our boy wears the current one out.

Nice quality but it stressed my dog out! He normally loves puzzle toys, but there was something about this one that really frustrated and upset him. He started yelping and crying. Really cute and good quality though! Just not right for my little guy.

If there is one thing that Fluffer Nutter Von Floof needs to do, it's slow down while he's eating. My little floof has a terrible habit of *inhaling* his meals, and the Outward Hound by Nina Ottosson Lickin’ Layers made a *huge* difference in getting him to slow down and enjoy his food a little. The puzzle is very easy for dogs to solve. The two top layers rotate, exposing sections of food for your dog to eat on the lower plates. Each layer is thick and sturdy feeling, and they turn easily without making any noise, so it won't startle your dog as they work with it. There are small openings so you dog will need to work a little to get food out, and I loved how the entire puzzle comes apart for easy filling and washing. It was nice seeing Fluffer Nutter's mealtime go from 30 seconds to about five as he turned and checked the bowl over again and again to make sure he got every last bit of food out of it. While it didn't stump him at all, it did force him to slow down, and the sniffing and turning of the plates made mealtime a little more interesting to him. The only complaint about this puzzle is that the center peg may be a little difficult for some to pinch to free the upper two plates, but I didn't have too hard of a time separating everything. Overall, it's a good puzzle for puppies or small dogs to use to keep them from snarfing down their food.

Es muy pequeño, no está tan funcional para las croquetas grandes

毎回残したもの取り出すのが大変であまり使わなくなった。

Way smaller then expected

Our staffie was getting through a Kong Extra a week - it was getting a bit expensive. This game keeps her occupied and she feels like she’s getting a treat. We started her off on a level one but she’s already sussed it out, so we’ll probably get a level 2 game soon. The game is super well made, non slip, easy to clean and easy to set up. Great value We’ll definitely stick with this brand. If all the games are this sturdy and as well thought out, we can’t go wrong.
