It's fun to play with your food! Let your dog discover how much fun it is to eat from an Aikiou dog food bowl. Using his paws and muzzle, your pet must turn the wheel and open the sliding doors to access the food that is hidden underneath. Suitable for dogs of all sizes. The Aikiou Feeder (pronounced I.Q.) is feeding system made fun and educational. The Aikiou is a plastic bowl with sliding and spinning doors that conceal hidden kibble. Your dog solves the puzzle in each section to reveal the kibble or treat. The toes of the paw have sliding doors that reveal two separate compartments. The sections in the pad of the paw are revealed when your dog rotates the gray center. This dog puzzle food bowl is completely washable, the gray cover comes off so that you can thoroughly clean it. The goal is not to totally stump your dog, but to make feeding time a little more work, but with all the reward! The Aikiou only requires kibble and problem solving. The bowl is also a good way to slow down pups that like to inhale their food. Available in blue or pink, it holds up to 3.5 cups of food.
The Aikiou is the ideal tool to meet some of your dog's basic needs: searching for food and mental stimulation, which are necessary for his overall well being. It's more than a simple dog feeder, it's a dog care product.
Stimulates dogs and keeps them busy
In his brand new book, Mon chien est heureux (my dog is happy), vet and canine behaviouralist Joel Dehasse explains that dogs are genetically programmed to have a specific job and inactivity leads to behavioural issues and psychosomatic disorders. Dogs need an average 6 hours of activity each day, but this may vary from 3 to 10 hours depending on the breed and the individual energy level within the breed. Dogs need different types of activities: feeding, hunting, social, vocal, locomotor, chewing, playing, intellectual, etc.
If the animal is not able to meet these different needs, he could develop one or several behavioural problems. It is important to give your animal the opportunity to perform various activities each day. If your pet spends an hour a day barking or gnawing on the table legs, he is probably lacking stimulation. If you provide a variety of structured activities, it is very likely that the undesirable behaviour will diminish. If your animal spends 30 minutes to an hour a day eating instead of wolfing his food down in 5 minutes, he will have met a large part of his daily activity needs and will be less likely to destroy the couch or dig holes in your backyard. Is your dog happy?
A System that Meets Your Pet's Needs
Making mealtime an intellectual activity is very positive and stimulating for your pet since he will need to use his senses to hunt for his meal and is rewarded when he succeeds.
