Looking to keep your pup entertained while you’re cooking dinner?

Or maybe you’re trying to help slow down your dog’s eating — or even just help tire him out by introducing some mental stimulation into his daily routine.

Whatever your reasoning, puzzle games are amazing for pets. They’ll help calm anxious dogs, decrease destructive behavior or just allow your pup to use that brain a little bit more.

Keep in mind that puzzles come at different challenge levels, so pay attention when you’re making a purchase — and increase the difficulty as your pet gets more comfortable and confident living the puzzle life.
