As people, we enjoy doing crossword, jigsaw and word search puzzles. Well, dogs like solving puzzles too.

However, their types of puzzles are much different than ours, although it would be hilarious to watch a dog try and do a jigsaw puzzle, wouldn’t it?

Let’s check out some dog-friendly interactive puzzles and leave the jigsaws to the humans, shall we?

Unlike the Dog Tornado Treat Puzzle Toy, the Dog Twister Interactive Game is a Level 3 (advanced).

  • While it may be slightly more challenging, it will keep your dog engaged and entertained longer, reducing the chance of boredom.
  • It’s also a fun way to slow down your dog’s meal times!

Like the Dog Tornado Treat Puzzle Toy, the Interactive Dog Treat Puzzle Toy is a Level 2 (intermediate) game.

  • The game comes with 20 treat compartments, 8 pieces that open and slide and 4 removable play bones.
  • There are 3 ways your dog can play this puzzle toy to get their treat- flip the blocks, pull up the blocks or slide the blocks.

5. Hide-A-Squirrel Plush Toy-Outward Hound

Can't talk- chasing squirrels 🙌🐶🐿 #outwardhound 📸 @kiwipiefactory

The Hide-A Squirrel is basically 2 toys in 1- a plush toy and a puzzle toy. (I don’t know about your dog, but mine loves to chase and hunt squirrels).

  • If your dog spends hours chasing squirrels in the backyard, they’ll definitely enjoy this engaging and interactive puzzle toy.
  • If your dog could care less about squirrels, there are 3 other types of critters available- bee, bird and hedgehog.
  • My dogs LOVE this toy! For some reason, they have never destroyed their squirrels. This seems to be common as I see many other dog parents saying that even the most aggressive chewers leave their squirrels in tact.

6. Eco-Friendly Dog Puzzle Bowl-Simply Pets Online

The Eco-Friendly Dog Puzzle Bowl is a great interactive puzzle maze bowl that is designed for your dog to have lots of fun, while also slowing down the rate and speed in which they eat.

  • The best part is that this challenging and enjoyable puzzle bowl was designed by 2 veterinarians with over 30 years of combined experience.
  • I love this one because it’s the closest one to a regular dog bowl, so my dogs are more likely to give it a shot at meal time.

The Dog Activity Chess Puzzle Toy is rather unique when compared to other dog puzzle toys. Why, you ask?

  • The majority of puzzle toys have just one level, but this chess puzzle toy offers your dog 3 different levels within one game.
  • It’s also extra sturdy so it can hold up against dogs who love to play rough.

8. Dog Activity Flip Board– Trixie Pet Products

The Dog Activity Flip Board is best suited for smaller dogs that are active and energetic.

  • It is a Level 2 (intermediate) game.
  • It features an array of cones, flaps and knobs, which your dog will need to use their nose or paws to flip, lift and slide to reveal the hidden treats.

9. Dog-E-Logic Interactive Dog Game– Ware Manufacturing

The Dog-E-Logic Interactive Dog Game is like having 2 games in 1.

  • One side features an easy game of Hide-N-Seek, while the other side has a more challenging game of Slide-N-Find.
  • Your dog will have to nudge and scratch in order to remove the knobs from their notches.
