One dog loves it! Pretty easy to rinse clean, a bit hard to separate the layers imho. Sturdy, fun
I rinse it clean without taking it apart, using the wide spray on the kitchen sink, because I find it difficult to take apart and put back together without making a mess. The fastener clip is small and hard to manipulate. However it rinses off pretty easily, you just have to spin each layer. (Use the gentle or wide spray to avoid water going everywhere. It easily holds about one 13oz can of dogfood. It takes about half a can to fill it enough to make it worth the dog's time imho. My 23lb corgi mix loves it. She can focuses on getting every lick out of every layer, and keeps her busy a while. It has helped her tremendously slow down on her meals and also provides enrichment and entertainment. 13 lb chihuahua mix is less thorough, he grabs what he can easily get, and cries for a refill! 10lb rescue chihuahua mix did not understand it at all and is much more toy motivated than food motivated, but he is a picky eater and did not need slowing down. So, for the purpose intended, slow down my vacuum-corgi mix dog, it's worked fantastic, and she also enjoys playing with it. Good for a dog who likes a challenge, or eats way too fast. I love that it doesn't tip over, she hasn't flipped it over yet with daily use. I've used it with both small dry kibble and wet food, works fine with both. It's easy to smear canned food onto it even if you don't take the layers apart. Doesn't need to be perfect, she's happy, I'm happy

Good for active dogs
I have four dogs ranging from 15 to 140 pounds, and all of them can easily use this toy. It is much larger than I expected, but it moves easily enough that my smallest dog, who is 15 and blind but still very active, can still use it. Even if my little guy couldn't use it, it's difficult to find food toys big enough for my Saint Bernard to use safely, and this one fits the bill, so that's a big bonus!It holds quite a bit of food and the rubberized bottom is a blessing for my sanity (and my tile/hardwood floors. I say it's good for *active* dogs because not only does this toy require the dog to use their brain to get the food out, they also have to move their body around to find the food that spins out. I know most dogs will just bop it around and the food will fall out close by, but for dogs like my pit bull who must smash everything as hard as possible, flinging food everywhere in the process, this thing holds up and provides a good all around outlet for mental and physical energy.My only complaint is that the door just sort of sits in there, held in place by a few tabs rotated about a quarter of a turn, making it easy for a pawsy dog like my pit bull to open it accidentally (or an intelligent dog to bite the handle and open it intentionally, which is what my American bulldog did after watching me fill it.)The holes are also pretty large, allowing a good amount of food to come out of each hole with every push. My dogs are raw fed and do not get kibble so I fill most toys like this with chopped up dehydrated meats and organs. I would imagine that if you use a smaller kibble or anything intended for a small breed, this will get emptied pretty quickly.Overall, it seems sturdy, holds a lot of food/treats, is relatively quiet, and is large enough for even giant breed dogs to use, so you can't really go wrong, especially for the price.

Keeps my puppy engaged!
I only had to show my puppy one time how it worked and she was off to the races. It is large and will hold 2+ cups of food. i like the fact that it only spews out a few pieces of food at a time. The only thing I don't like is that after spinning a few times, the caps on the end start coming unscrewed from the cylinder and it gets tight and makes it harder to spin. I would work much better if it had some sore of hook/latch instead of screw on sides.

My dachshund loves this dish!
This spinner dish is wonderful. It slows down my dogs eating and he loves playing with it. It exercises his brain and the strong hunting Dr. dachshund have. Even when it’s empty, he will go and spin it with his nose just for fun.The value for the money is great, not only does the dish perform. Well, we also get entertainment out of watching him use it!

Works great!
We were using a ceramic slow-feed bowl that was circles but our dog learned how to eat through the maze and was eating too fast again. I was surprised at how well this is built. Each level is super strong and now it takes my dog about 10-15 minutes to eat all of the kibble. A few times I've used the bottom section only for a little bit of a treat-time kibble. I found it very easy to separate the layers by turning it upside down and slightly pinching the middle piece that holds them together. We have only had it a few weeks but it is holding up well being broken down, going through the dishwasher and being put back together once a day. It is the best slow feeder I have found for our large dog (he is a German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix).

My dog never got the hang of this
Let me start by saying that the product is exactly what is advertised. It is easy to fill and clean.I am giving the product three stars because my dogs never learned how to use it.I have two dogs. One is young and eats her entire meal in one gulp. It can't be healthy! I tried to teach her how to use the feeder to slow her down. Instead of turning it with her paws which is what she needs to do to get her food out, she just tried to lick it out through the holes. This works a little bit but mostly makes the whole thing a sticky mess. The food gets kind of glued to the inside and won't come out.Every time I used it, I had to stand there and try to encourage her to use her paws. This never really happened so I ended up just spinning it for her.My other dog is older and it's hard for her to balance and use the feeder. If the wheel would spin when they hit it with their nose, it would be a different story.In the end, I'm not sure if it's just my dogs or if it's a product issue.

Helps keep my dog occupied for a bit
We have a high energy dog. She try to keep her busy so she doesn't get into things that we don't want her getting into. We fill the puzzle with treats for her to keep her engaged in the puzzle for 10-15 minutes. When all the treats are gone, she does chew on the puzzle. So far, it only has teeth marks in it, she hasn't chewed any pieces of the puzzle off and she is a heavy chewer.

Kept my pup busy for a while but he did need a bit of help the first time
Kept the neurons in my puppy's brain sparking. Anything that slows his eating down is great in my books.

Excelente Calidad
Excelente calidad, excelente producto. Super fácil de desarmar y lavar. No es tan complicado que mi schnauzer necesite asistencia, pero si le sirve perfecto para comer lento. Le pongo una croqueta por casilla, jeje.
