Outward Hound Puzzle Dice Interactive Squeaky Canine Toy

Very entertaining! Do recommend
I was very pleasantly surprised! The rubber is fairly tough for my chewer, and he has had minimal urge to even actively chew it – the balls inside make him want to get them out instead of chew it. This has given me hours of entertainment and watching him try to figure out how to get the balls out! It arrived just in time before we got snowed in tooIt took my pretty smart pup several hours before he figured out the balls actually come out of the cube, and then another day or 2 before he could consistently get them out in under 5 min.He’s a 50lb mid-size dog with a narrow face, and this toy is the perfect size. He grabs it and runs around the house to show you, it’s definitely his favorite so far! He can squeak the balls inside the cube while trying to get them out, see them, I highly recommend. He’ll even run around with just the cube after he pulls he balls out, definitely trying to start some tug of war but I doubt this rubber would stand up to very much of that – a little here and there has been fine though.Only complaint for me was that the tennis balls were not particularly durable, and the smaller one may pose a choking hazard when it gets out & chewed on. Once he was quickly pulling the balls out, the large squeaking one tore in half pretty quickly so I replaced it with a normal tennis ball (not nearly as exciting to him though so it’s mostly ignored and just in the way), and I’ve been trying to save the little squeaky one as much as I can.Grabbing the fluff on them is how he pulled the balls out (the little one can fly out the single hole side though if they shake it hard enough), and slowly the one side with parallel lines he kept pulling them out of started stretching – so I put a ribbon to tie it a little tighter and that did the trick. Now the other parallel side he’s been pulling out has also slightly stretched out, so I’ll likely be tying that together soon as well.

Fun Puzzle, but not durable enough to leave pet alone
Both my dog and I LOVED this toy for the first week or so. She’s a very smart hunting dog who needs tons of mental stimulation, so I have a dozen or more puzzle toys that we rotate through. I’m always looking for puzzles with larger capacities to hold an entire meal that are durable enough to let her have alone when I leave her to go to work.This toy IS large enough to hold almost a full meal of kibble, and was mediumly challenging for the first week or so. I thought that the material was durable enough to leave her alone with it, buuuuutttt….The way the toy works is it has little interlocking pieces so the dog has to work to twist one of the outer containers until it can be unlocked. When I left my dog alone, after she unlocked the containers, she chewed off the bits of the middle compartment that stick out to create the locking mechanism. While the containers themselves are made of a mediumly durable plastic material, these little nubs that stick out were super easy to chew off and destroy. With those gone, the toy doesn’t lock effectively and she can open it in just a few seconds now, making the toy pretty worthless.If you plan to monitor your dog while they play with this one, and take the middle compartment away once they’ve gotten all the food out, then this might be a decent toy for the money. But if you want to leave your pup alone, or if one of the ways your dog tries to solve puzzles is through chewing, I’d skip this one and get something else.

Our pup loves her puzzle cube! This is the second one we’ve got for her as she was a bit over enthusiastic with the first one and chewed really right through it. The original balls don’t seem to last long with a chewer, so replacing them can get pricey, but she loves this toy and goes back to it again and again. Now that she’s a bit older, it has held up well. Would definitely buy again if needed.
