My Lady is all about this thing called “enrichment” for us. Now, I couldn’t tell ya what the heck that is WOOF! But, here is what I do know. ‘Round here, we don’t like goin’ outside without my Lady. And, well, ya guessed it. My Lady can’t just stop everything and spend the day outside. Unfortunately, she has to do a lot more typin’ on that computer than I do. Problem is, while she is a typin’ we are all just layin’ there lookin’ at her. That’s when she starts a talkin’ ’bout enrichment activities and mental stimulation. Say what? I’m not gonna pretend that I can decipher them big words. All I know is it comes down to us gettin’ fun PAW5 Rock ‘N Bowl Puzzle Feeders! Now that, I can understand WOOF!
Us pups love our PAW5 Rock ‘N Bowl Puzzle Feeders! It’s fun to paw and make it rock. The more it rocks, the more food it spits out! I s’pose it’s a little like workin’ for your food. What all that has to do with enrichment and mental stimulation, I don’t know. But, I’m just a dog so what do I know? WOOF! Lemme get my Lady to tell ya more about it.
Here’s what my Lady says about the PAW5 Rock ‘N Bowl Puzzle Feeder
Our dogs are our best friends and always by our side. And, if your dogs are like mine – they are Velcro dogs. Mine won’t leave my side long enough to go outside to play by themselves! Even though they are probably bored silly, they would rather lay at my feet and watch me type away. It is the reason I search out puzzle bowls and toys for them. Providing enrichment activities like dog puzzles allows them to use their problem solving abilities and keeps their minds stimulated.
PAW5 has been a favorite company of mine for a long while now and you may remember our series on enrichment activities brought to us by PAW5. But, just in case you haven’t been introduced and before I tell you about the PAW5 Rock ‘N Bowl Puzzle Feeder, let me introduce you to them.
About PAW5
PAW5 products combine mental stimulation and environmental enrichment to support the overall well-being of dogs. By turning every day activities into rewarding challenges, PAW5 gives busy pet parents a simple way to engage their dogs mentally and physical every day. PAW5 is backed by research and grounded in sustainability, with a heart full of fun. Our ingenious products give dogs the opportunity to think, work and play—finding positive outlets for the energy and intelligence they possess without puzzling the humans who use them.
PAW5’s Four from Five Promise
Four from Five is PAW5’s promise to enrich the lives of our pets, their employees, our community and our world. They believe products and companies can (and should!) be a platform for positive change they want to see in the world. This means reducing their impact, giving back to the community, and making sure their puzzle feeder give more than they take.
You may be thinking “what is the point of a bowl with holes in it”, right? It may seem strange to us to get a nugget of food at a time out of a bowl, but our dogs love it! I love that it makes them put their thinking cap on and use their problem-solving skills in order to get the food. It adds an enrichment activity to their meal times. Instead of eating the same old food, out of the same old bowl, then laying there bored – mealtime becomes an awarding and enriching challenge for them. The PAW5 Rock ‘N Bowl puzzle feeder brings fun and excitement to their meal time!
Paw5 Rock ‘N Bowl is Easy to Use?
The PAW5 Rock ‘N Bowl is easy to use. Simply fill the bowl with your regular dog food like you would a normal bowl. Pour the food on the top and it will settle into the compartment below. When your dog paws or nudges the bowl, the nuggets will come out of the holes on the bottom.
There is no training at all! One small wobble of the bowl and a nugget coming out encourages them and they go to work. Dogs love the challenge and playing their way through mealtime! It brings a whole new meaning to playing with your food huh?
Providing mental stimulation and enrichment activities for our dogs makes them happy dogs. It also uses pent-up energy that might otherwise turn into destructive behavior! So, if you are having behavior problems related to boredom, perhaps a PAW5 Rock ‘N Bowl is just what you need! It will give your dog an activity to do and use their problem-solving abilities, while working off pent up energy! You can’t go wrong with that!
Easy to Clean!
The PAW5 Rock ‘N Bowl comes apart for easy cleaning and all parts are dishwasher safe! I love that I can throw it in the dishwasher to rid it of gunk, grime, and germs!

That is a very fun feeder for your dogs.
I have a terrier and am always looking for ways to engage him and keep him happy. Everything you’ve said about this bowl makes it sound perfect for him!
Layla woofs want one please
I love this product! I think it’s perfect for the likes of my pup. He becomes hyper, aggressive (with other male), and destructive when bored. He suffers high anxiety when left alone and this would help keep him busy!! This will help our chunky girl, Kira, by making her work for her food. Not lay at a bowl! 🙂
I like to hide small pieces of bread around the house. My dog knows to wait. As soon s I say find, she takes off running and sniffing. Its fun to watch and good for her brain.
I like that this will be mentally engaging for my pup and keep him interested. I will have to find less messy food to use with it.
My dogs would love this, they would go nuts.
Would love to try this puzzle for my australian shepherd. He’s hard to stimulate mentally, but food gives him incentive . I think he’d like this.
My dog would have such fun with this.
This looks fun and entertaining for a dog.
Our dog would absolutely love this. He tends to overeat and this would slow him down. Also, he would get some exercise trying to get his food.
I’m real curious to see if my dogs even try. They are all a bit lazy
My dog, Nala, would have a ball with one of these. She gets very excited figuring how things work.
This looks great! I love that it’s easy to clean.
These look like they would entertain a dog for awhile!
I am so glad this is dishwasher safe. I know my cat would love this. He makes everything a toy anyway.
This might even make my finicky pup more enamoured of his food.
My dog caught on to the flip the toy (with the food inside) over and over and over until something comes out pretty quickly. I guess food is a good motivator! 🙂
Looks like fun and love that you can toss it in the dishwasher!
what a great idea!
This looks really awesome! I think it would also help for dogs that tend to gulp their food, to slow them down a bit too.
Exceptionally cute idea for our four legged children. Mine are horribly spoiled. I have to pretend to cook their food before they will even attempt to try it. They are also super nosey so this would be fun for a while then it would be a great gift for my mom’s puppy.
This looks like my terrier would absolutely love it.
i want one,entered contest
My little guy is the same. He doesn’t want to go outside without me if it just be to do his business and be right back in. He needs this bowl to help keep his mind busy.
i wonder how durable this is
and how hard it is to clean
Looks like a FUN and REWARDING time for the dog.
This would be so awesome!!!!
I love the look of this bowl, my babies would have fun using it.
These look great! As a force-free trainer , I love using puzzle toys , both as environmental enrichment and also boosting the confidence of anxious dogs. These look like they are very well-made; I’ll have to check out the PAW5 products!
I really think this would solve a big problem with my cat. He eats all of his food at once and then immediately throws it up. Not good. So since he loves to play, he could play with his food to get it, and wouldn’t be able to eat it all at once. Then I could leave him with his food for a few hrs. and not worry about what I will come back to. Great idea!
It seems like this is very sturdy, which is crucial for us as my younger dog is a “brute force” kind of guy.
This would make mealtime such a fun time for my pup!
I love that it provides Mental Stimulation! My puppy gets plenty chewing activity, but needs some mental time
I want to win one of these because it will slow my dogs down when they eat.
My dog would get so much enjoyment from this. He’s a terrier and loves to be mentally challenged.
I like the design of it. Surely will keep most dogs intrigued.
That’s cute about your dogs not liking to go outside without you. I won’t let my cat go outside without me. Too dangerous. My cat, like your dogs, sits beside me while I’m on here typing wondering why I am doing that instead of throwing him a ball for him to run after. They’re great, aren’t they?
Just as it is good for our minds to do puzzles and stay active, it probably is for theirs too. Good product.
