Highlighted Reviews

"My dog has a half dozen puzzles at this point, and this is by far her favorite. Does it work as well for a full meal puzzle feeder like other larger puzzles, but great for enrichment."

Consider this toy for a quick mental challenge, but keep in mind the potential durability issues.
