Great toy and tips for using
This is one of our very favorite and most useful toys. The ball is very well made of durable rubber (or whatever it is that feels like good rubber these days and the rubber extends a little bit over the edge of the treat wells so that the dog can’t chew the plastic wells out. The squirrels are, of course, fabric and we know what happens with that. That said, they too are well made. with “painted” on faces, no bulging eyes to chew out of them. I ordered 6 additional squirrels shortly after getting the toy for two reasons: 1) I’m lazy (and old) and didn’t want to have to go squirrel searching all the time and 2) I wanted to be sure I had extras in case they became unavailable in the future. I have something similar to a toy hammock or net bag hanging on a wall where I deposit the squirrels as I come upon them. She only gets to play with them in conjunction with the ball (or if she finds a missing one before I do).Initially it did not look to me as though this toy would hold enough food to actually feed her from. It does. It holds about a cup and a half, maybe a little more, if you only put the squirrel head half way in each well. My Archie is about 40 pounds and is not what is considered an aggressive chewer though she has chewed a number of toys to their death. This one still looks like new as do all the squirrels (which I toss in the wash, not sure if that is recommended.) This would work as a slow feeder but that’s not why I got it. My girl isn’t always hungry when we feed the little dogs and cats. She’s more of a grazer. I would free-feed her if I didn’t have the others. This toy gives me a way to have food out for her when she wants it, the little dogs know it’s not theirs and the cats aren’t interested in working at it. (One cat figured out the gum ball machine toy before any of the dogs did and by the time they did the cat was puking. That toy went into storage)First Use: Archie did not intuitively know how to get the squirrels out at first and lost interest before she succeeded. Maybe she would have been smarter if I waited until she was starving but I don’t like doing that. What I did was fill the wells about half way and stuck the squirrel heads in just far enough that they wouldn’t fall out as I put it down. When I put it down and gave it a little roll, with her paying attention, a squirrel did come out and let the kibble out too which she ate up immediately and started to catch on. I put the squirrels barely in for a few days until she really got the hang of it, which she did. Interesting note: my girl does know the command for tug or pull but she could not relate it to this ball and squirrel thing so we had to go the other route.This is a toy I don’t think you’ll regret buying. I’m tempted to order a back-up one and keep it in our RV.

Great!
I purchased the Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Dog Tornado Puzzle for my dog, and itâs been an absolute hit! This interactive treat puzzle has not only entertained him for hours, but it also provides mental stimulation, which is essential for his overall well-being. The intermediate difficulty level is perfectâchallenging enough to keep him engaged, but not so difficult that he becomes frustrated. I love that I can hide treats in the compartments and watch him figure out how to rotate the sections to get to them. Itâs a great way to keep him busy and mentally sharp, and Iâve noticed a positive change in his behavior. The puzzle is durable and easy to clean, making it a perfect addition to our daily routine. If you have a dog that enjoys problem-solving, I highly recommend this puzzle for hours of fun and enrichment.

Level 1 is good
This treat puzzle is a fantastic way to keep my dog entertained and mentally stimulated! The design is clever, with lots of compartments that make my pup work for his treats. Itâs the perfect level of challengeânot too hard, but it does keep him occupied for a while. The build quality is good, though I wish it was a bit more durable for more aggressive chewers. The sliding pieces are easy for him to move around, and he really seems to enjoy it. Overall, a great enrichment toy, and Iâd recommend it to dog owners looking for a fun, interactive challenge!

Dogs loved it!
This was a little harder for my dogs to figure out than other puzzles due to the removable pieces and hatches. They get so tired after playing with this one (which is great!). Itâs very easy to the load treats in and the plastic is pretty durable.Like other puzzles and toys, DO NOT leave your pet unattended while playing. This puzzle has removable pieces and pieces that may come apart while they are playing which will be a choking hazard.

Fun thinking activity for pets
This was originally bought for our 1 yr old beagle mix rescue pup for activity, busy toy with treats to find. It’s really durable. Our senior dog saw interest and they both use it. It holds up to 2 cups but we only add 1/4-1/2 cup at a time. It’s bright color is helpful for human locating as sometimes in home it might get rolled to a corner etc. If you have a solid flooring you will hear the rolling with it’s low textured exterior. This ball is a hard synthetic material that holds up great to paws, claws, pushing, rolling &: even dropping it. When empty on carpet it’s virtually silent. When having dry treats you will be able to haar them lightly tumbling as your pet plays to get their treats/meal. On solid flooring you will hear it medium sound level and keep in mind walls, furniture solid objects around home. It’s really a great learning and activity toy with multiple function from fun treats to slow feeder. Really great item that’s well made.

A qualidade é ótima e vale o preço. Tem várias maneiras de montar para variar também a dificuldade. à resistente a mordidas, arranhões e pancadas em geral. Tem um nÃvel de dificuldade intermediário, se o cachorro não for habituado, pode ter alguma frustração. E se for muito esperto, como a minha, descobre logo o mecanismo, ela levantou e deixou todos os petiscos caÃrem, sem ficar girando. Mas no geral vale muito a pena para o animal se exercitar.

My pup absolutely loves this. Itâs a bit loud when heâs kicking it around but he enjoys it. Great quality product.Note: the holes are quite big so smaller treats might fall out easily.Would definitely buy again, but it looks like this one will last a while!

O tabuleiro é bem interativo, tem vários compartimentos para abrir, empurrar e tirar pecinhas. Se o seu cão for delicado, é um excelente brinquedo. Se ele for um roedor voraz de brinquedos, melhor não, há muitas peças soltas para serem roÃdas e engolidas.
