Kibble Drop Puzzle for Dogs Review

I received one or more of the products or services mentioned for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.I was so excited that Mushu was going to get an interactive treat toy to review from Chewy.com. I’ve wanted to see how she would react to a puzzle type toy for a while now. She is a pretty smart dog and she enjoys playing games with us so I thought this would be a good fit for her. Mushu received the Outward Hound Kibble Drop Puzzle a few weeks ago.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as I thought they would. At first Mushu was very interested as she watched me put some treats in the top of the puzzle. She sniffed around and pawed at the toy. I showed her that she needed to open the cover so that she could get to the treats. I left one open so that she could eat the treats. Later she came back and tried to open another section of the puzzle. She got the piece part way open but then it came down on her nose. She jumped back, afraid and went to lay down on her bed. Since thenshe will only go near this dog toy if a section is open and the treats are exposed, which defeats the reason for having a puzzle.

Of course, your dog may not be a skiddish as Mushu is. There are many positive reviews of the Outward Hound Kibble Drop Puzzle on Chewy.com so I do believe a lot of the problem is my particular dog and not the toy itself. Have you ever given your dog a treat puzzle before? How did they do with it? I’m not going to give up, I hope to get Mushu a different kind of treat toy so that she can still problem solve to get her treats.
