This intermediate three-tier rotating puzzle challenges dogs to spin layers to reach twelve treat compartments, with three removable bone-shaped covers that increase the difficulty. Made from BPA-, PVC-, and phthalate-free hard plastic, it combines mental stimulation with physical interaction and works well for dogs ready to move beyond very basic puzzles.
