About the Messy Mutts Flip'n Slide Puzzler
The Messy Mutts Flip'n Slide Puzzler is an expert-level food puzzle that makes your dog sniff, paw, flip and slide to find their treats or meal. It has several compartments and surfaces, sliding parts and a spinning wheel, so there's always something new to work out.
It's a good way to slow down mealtime and give a bored dog a job. The ripple and groove texture holds soft food in place and encourages licking, which helps many dogs settle. Every piece stays attached to the base, so nothing gets lost, and the snap-in parts come out for cleaning.

Is the Flip'n Slide Puzzler Right for Your Dog?
A good fit if:
- Your dog finishes food puzzles quickly and needs a bigger challenge.
- Your dog eats too fast, and you'd like to slow mealtime down.
- Your dog gets bored or restless at home, especially on days with less exercise.
- You like to feed soft, wet or raw food and want a lick surface for it.
Maybe not the best choice if:
- Your dog is new to puzzles. Start with something simpler, like a Messy Mutts licking mat, and work up.
- Your dog chews up toys. This is a supervised puzzle, not a chew toy.
Which size? The Medium suits most small and medium dogs and smaller portions. The Large gives bigger dogs more room and holds a bigger meal.
How to Use
- Spread soft food or hide treats or kibble in the compartments, under the flip lids and behind the sliders.
- For a harder challenge, freeze soft, wet or raw food on or under the spinning wheel.
- Show your dog how the pieces move the first few times, then let them work it out on their own.
- Stay nearby while your dog plays, and pick it up when they're done.
Cleaning: Snap out the removable pieces and wash everything on the top rack of the dishwasher, or by hand.
