Amazon Basics Pet Activity Center and Feeder, 13.4 X 2.4 X 14.7 Inches, Blue

The media could not be loaded.  My cat isn't the sort that eats too fast and then pukes (luckily!) but he is easily bored. And when he's bored he can become a tad aggressive. He is very food motivated so I've been looking for a board that I could put treats in and make him work for them. I've even started feeding breakfast on it! He definitely doesn't like having to work harder for the kibble, but it's helped curb his play aggression and keeps his mind sharp. Love it!Pros: LARGE. This board is a lot bigger than I expected. My boy is 14lbs of pure muscle, and he can easily fit his paws into most of the crevices. It's also a plastic, so it's easy to clean (though I only use dry kibbles and treats so it doesn't get too dirty). Nice colour too, most of these things are uglyCons: even though the board is large, it is riddled with little pegs and things. Though my cat -can- get his paws into most places there are some that he can barely fit into so I don't use them often. Not enough to knock points. Also this board is a bit light, some cats might be able to flip it. Also it would be nice if the cups were a little bigger, they are my cats favourite on this board.Overall, great board for the bored kitty!

Dry food is a more of a treat than a staple in my cats diet. She's indoor only so I'm always looking for enrichment for her (especially since she inhales the dry food). She's very smart and figured out the other food puzzles too easily. I purchased the GREEN puzzle for her and it's perfect. It took me showing her how to slide the little sections twice for her to understand. This is perfect, it makes her slow down and actually think and work for her food without being so difficult that she can't get her food.If you have a larger sized/breed of cat I want to add, I have a 1+ year old larger breed cat, British Shorthair. She weighs (about) 11 or 12 pounds. No matter what surface I put this on (carpet, tile, wood, rug, silicone feeding mat) she can still push it around. She hasn't been able to flip it entirely and she can't tip it up though she tries her very best (she easily beat other puzzle feeders this way). She can easily get her thicker, rounder legs/paws in and around every section of this. Again, I only have the GREEN version as of now and since I was concerned about her larger sized body, legs and paws fitting I wanted to add this to my review. I will probably purchase the other puzzles for a bit of variety and will update my review then.

My 9lb cat can eat her meal in less than a minute. Then she'll throw up in about 5 minutes. I tried to feed her small amounts in intervals throughout the day when she'd ask. All that did was reinforce her scarfing tendencies.She was still throwing up until I got this awesome invention. Now it takes up to 20 to 30 minutes for my cat to finish her food. I feed her 12 hours inbetween. Haven't seen her vomit in 2 weeks. The layout of the puzzle helps to motivate and challenge an otherwise very lazy cat who is bored of the toys I keep buying her. Other than that, I don't like to use the deep cylinders in the middle of the puzzle, as it seems to hurt her paws. It's still a great solution though!Thanks to whoever made this ingenius design! Order it!

Got this for cat crunchies. I would absolutely not suggest it for soft food, or dogs, because washing slurry or drool out of all the nooks and crannies around the sliding parts would be a pain. Also there is one type of crunchies that are flat enough they jam in the little gap where the edges of the domes slide around, blocking the domes from moving freely. For us this was no issue, as we had a second-favourite food with larger chunks, that we could switch to. But if your pet is fussy and only eats a certain food, that is in very flat (I'd say 1/8") pieces, and they are not the type to cope well with the stress of the feeder jamming, maybe it would be a problem for you. Other complaint is that it's a very hard plastic, compared to our other slow feeders, and that makes for a lot more noise as the crunchies clatter around. On the bright side, I think that harder plastics are more inert, so this likely means it's safer. I can tell you it had zero "new plastic smell" straight out of the box, and i am so sensitive to new plastic smell that I habitually leave new plastic items out on the porch to air out for weeks before bringing them inside. With this there was absolutely no odor or symptoms, even when I washed it in very hot water. So trust me, when I say this is a nice safe material, I'm certain of that. It is quite large! Bigger than I expected. If you have a tiny place you should check the measurements- it's about 13" corner to corner, just under 12" side to side. Our three older cats have thus far failed to figure out the moving parts, but an adolescent we just took in figured it out immediately. To be blunt, she's by far the stupidest of the four, and the least food oriented, so I guess that goes to show there is no way of guessing which pets will find which puzzles easy or hard. I think in time any pet will figure it out though, it just takes longer for some.

My dog enjoys puzzle toys. Especially when it involves food! He will gobble his kibble if I put it in a bowl, so I'm always on the lookout for something new for him to slow him down. I like this because it seems to be sturdy, and it has rubber on the bottom to keep it from slipping. I wouldn't put any kind of wet food in it since it would be hard to clean, but for kibble it's perfect. I do have a small dog, so I'm not sure how it would work for a larger one.

My cat is 15 and while he still plays with toys, he doesn’t last for that long anymore. Since he’s an old man, I want o provide him with activities to help keep him “young”. So this is nice to give him mental stimulation while not being high activity. I just sprinkle some treats on it and he’s entertained for a good 10 minutes.

Maybe i had a defective one, but mine did not sit on the floor flat. It had a wobble. It took no time for both of my kitties to master the puzzle. Now... they just inhaled the kibbles of it. But it still is entertaining to watch them get their kibbles out of the puzzle. I suppose it was worth it.

The media could not be loaded.  I got this for my 5-month old kitten as he has a tendency to swallow his food in gulps rather than actually chewing.The item is actually fairly large, which I found is a good thing. (I will attach a video.) There are multiple different areas to place food/treats in and your cat has to figure out how to get the food out. At first my kitten struggled but then he realized he had to swat the food out rather than try to bite through the obstacles, lol.It's a great product, very well made and sturdy, so I know it is actually going to last. The price was also amazing.5/5 - highly recommend.

Muy buena compra, mas grande de lo que pense, les ha gustado mucho a mis gatos y los mantiene mas entretenidos

Ho due gatti e lo uso per fargli perdere un po' di tempo quando gli dò degli snack. Ottima plastica dura, facile da lavare.

The media could not be loaded.  Tras unos meses de uso verifico que el producto es bueno. Mi gato come de esta forma más despacio, eso sí, cuando le echo comida en un bol normal, vuelve a engullir, pero su función la cumple.Le sirve también de entretenimiento, ya que va sacando los granos de uno en uno. Es más costoso de limpiar que uno normal pero tampoco lo es una barbaridad. Además como está destinado a comida seca y las saca con la zarpa, no se ensucia tanto.Es igual a la foto, el material es plástico, no es que se vea de una calidad bestial pero está bastante bien y parece duradero si se trata bien. Yo sin duda lo recomiendo si tenéis gato con ansiedad por comer. Hay otros de precio superior y yo creo que harán la misma función.

The media could not be loaded.  My cats are enjoying it and so am i. Its fun watching them use their paws to get more food. Before they used to rush eating and would later vomit and ask for food constantly but now it takes them a long time to eat plus you dont even have to add much food either. The activity takes them a long time to eat and I'm enjoying that peace of mind. They seem to have fun eating now. But its a bit messy as the food gets on the floor but other than that Im happy with the purchase.
