Early this year, two of my friends adopted the most energetic dog of all time, an adoring and adorable mutt — part German Shepherd, part racehorse and part hummingbird. Some things manage to distract him, and some to tire him out, but so far this puzzle feeder is the only thing that does both. It comes with three difficulty levels that he can work his way up, facing ever greater challenges in his quest for the treat. Each puzzle requires careful simultaneous motions that even I, an alleged human, find tricky but engaging. Hours of entertainment for both you and your pup, and it costs way less than a streaming subscription.
