Price $8-$23
Rating ★★★★★ 4.6/5 (29 reviews)
Category Puzzle Toys
Best For Perfect for dogs new to puzzle toys that enjoy board-style challenges and slow-feeding enrichment.

This flat puzzle board uses eight movable pentomino-style pieces to hide treat compartments underneath, encouraging dogs to slide, spin, and shift pieces to uncover rewards. The BPA-free plastic construction and non-slip base make it suitable for beginner enrichment sessions, and the board also works as a slow feeder for dogs that gulp meals too quickly.

West Paw Zogoflex Toppl Treat Dispensing Dog Chew Toy

by West Paw

Price $25-$30
Rating ★★★★★ 4.5/5 (448 reviews)
Category Puzzle Toys
Best For Ideal for food-motivated dogs who enjoy licking and foraging and are moderate chewers rather than extreme power chewers.

The Toppl is a treat-dispensing puzzle bowl made from soft yet durable Zogoflex material. Dogs work to lick, nudge, paw, or twist out wet food, kibble, or treats held in place by interior teeth, and the toy can also be frozen to extend playtime. Its open bowl shape makes it easy to fill and clean, and interlocking size combinations can increase the challenge.
