If you have a dog that needs constant attention, you will do anything to keep them busy for a few minutes. I use this puzzle toy for that. There are three swiveling trays where you can hide treats, making your dog work for their reward. My pup has to use his snout to rotate the trays to reveal the compartments, and I hope this keeps his brain sharp as he has to problem solve to get all the treats. I have the level two (intermediate) version and would buy it again in a heartbeat. –– Sarah Mitroff

This toy is durable and includes all the things that will make a dog happy forever. Inside there is a string and some squeakers to get and keep their attention, and it usually becomes my dog’s cuddly toy. –– Theodore Liggians

Banjo worries when he’s left alone, but like most Labs, he worries kindness driven by food. Mochi, our little guy, is a serious chewer. If he has nothing to chew on, he will start digging holes in our living room. So when I know I’m going to be gone for a few hours, I pull out the Kongs. I top them with mozzarella or peanut butter (or both), and my two dogs stay happy and occupied the entire time I’m gone. –– Desiree DeNunzio

My dog ​​is a beast when it comes to toys and is about to be spoiled EVERY A toy we gave him for a day or two. That is until we met the Kong Extreme dog toy line, which worked perfectly for him and kept him entertained. We can use it as a reward by filling it with peanut butter when he is good for the day. There are a few different shapes and sizes of them, and he seems to enjoy them all! –– Jared DePane

Most plush toys are no match for my dog, Junebug, who tears them apart in moments. This Fluff and Tuff ball takes her weeks to remove a thread. Because of this, he is obsessed with it and takes it everywhere (even though it is too big for his small body – a nice bonus). He stays true to it even when it’s a sad, shredded, broken shell. Eventually, I threw it away and bought him a new one and the cycle began again. He’s at his third beach ball in about a year! The money is well worth it. –-Kim Wong-Shing

My dog ​​loves two things (besides his people): food and toys. This puzzle combines the two for endless fun. I received this dog treat puzzle as a gift, after months of rolling up towels and old T-shirts to make mentally stimulating toys for my chihuahua mix. Now, I use it whenever I don’t have a chance to take my pooch on his long evening walk.

All the moving plastic parts make it look complicated, but it’s actually quite simple to set up. Just keep your choice of treats or kibble in the hidden cubbies, cover it with the plastic door, push the slider to close the door and that’s it. I find this to be a great indoor option for my dog ​​to burn off some energy and also test his brain. –-Alexandra Garrett

My puppy Alistair has been crazy about his Dogobie flying disc for as long as we’ve had it, which is about 14 years. A disc made of flexible silicone, it is less fragile and as easy for me to throw as he gets, and it is easy to find the brush after a wrong throw, thanks to its neon colors . Alistair is getting older, but he still gets excited anytime he sees his Dogobie out to play. If only he had returned it with as much enthusiasm as he had pursued it. –– Jim Hoffman
