Our take on the Outward Hound Lickin Layers Dog Puzzle

The Lickin Layers is a three-tier plastic puzzle that holds treats or soft food across stacked layers, so a dog has to lick and nudge to reach each level. It sits at skill level 2, which means a moderate challenge rather than a beginner's single-step toy. The food-safe plastic is free of BPA, PVC and phthalates, and the 26 cm footprint suits most floors. It is a solo-play toy for adult dogs of any breed or size, and it rewards lickers and problem solvers more than chewers.

Best forDogs that eat too fastBored dogs left aloneLickers and slow feedersAdult dogs ready for a step up from beginner puzzles
Pros

  • Food-safe plastic, free of BPA, PVC and phthalates
  • Wide base stays put on hard floors

Questions and answers

Is this suitable for puppies?
It is aimed at adult dogs. Puppies can use it under supervision, but they are more likely to chew the plastic.
Can I freeze it?
Yes. Filling the layers with wet food or broth and freezing adds time and difficulty, which suits dogs that finish it too fast.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Hand washing is the safer choice. The stacked layers trap sticky food, and a thorough soak and rinse clears it best.
What treats work best?
Soft or spreadable food works best: wet food, peanut butter or mashed kibble. Dry kibble alone falls out too easily.
How does it compare with a snuffle mat?
The mat suits sniffing and scattering; this puzzle adds licking and layered problem solving. They complement each other for variety.
Is it safe if my dog chews it?
The plastic is food-safe and free of BPA, PVC and phthalates, but it is not a chew toy. Take it away if your dog starts biting the layers.
