PUZZLES
I highly recommend that dogs be fed from “slow-feeder” puzzle bowls or other interactive toys rather than a regular dog bowl.
That way your dog burns energy, practices problem solving, and doesn't gobble down their food (which could help prevent poor digestion, and the life-threatening conditioning known as ‘Bloat’. Mix up what puzzles you use to keep them challenged, but keep in mind, puzzles have levels of difficulty. If you give them one that's too difficult, you might deter them from future puzzles altogether.
Puzzle Levels:
Level 1 (Easy)
Level 2 (Intermediate)
Level 3 (Advanced)
