My dog loves it
I had a treat puzzle before and replaced it with this one. My little dog loves it, has no problems getting treats out. I use it every day

A simple non plastic treat puzzle
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 collie’s favorite!
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.

MDF stacked thin layers, as if paper macheâ Not durable.
Conceptually good idea. Our one dog figured it out quickly and enjoyed it. Durability, not so much. Our 2nd dog tried pawing the slides. Chipped instantly. The MDF is more like paper macheâ than regular MDF. Thin layers pressed, glued together, chipped easily. Acts life sponge if in contact with even a damp paper towel! Canât be wiped off, even one drop of water creates expansion, swelling, sliders lock up. Unusable after the first day. Had to return it. If the same concept could be manufactured in wood or a higher quality MDF it would have been a decent product. Conceptually well thought out.

Great!
Used for my bunny and he loved it! Only thing I would recommend is not leaving it in any room with them bc they will easy chew it up!

UPDATED after multiple trials 🙁
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.

Dogs love this
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.

Good first puzzle toy for smart pups.
I used this toy for my 9-12 week old pup to get her to settle down and eat food. She was so busy she didn’t want to. Also in crate training to give her something to take her mind of being crated. She was so smart that she got it too quickly though. I might use it for early scent training. My other dog a mix that we claim only has two brain cells couldn’t, despite being very very food oriented hack the toy. We gave up on him.

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 bunnyâs I use it for my bunnyâs 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.

Cute, well made, works well. Only issue is, this is not for chewers! This is completely our fault, my husband should have been supervising, but he left the dog with it for 10 minutes and now itâs mangled. I guess our dog couldnât work out one piece, so I guess he thought heâd chew on it. It did not hold up.
