1. Puzzle Feeder – better eating habits for your dog
For who is it?
For those who have a dog that is too greedy for food
What is it?
Some dogs are too focused on food. This is often a result of people feeding them too much food and simply teaching them bad habits. Only that can have consequences for your furry friend’s health, as he increasingly craves food and gobbles his food too quickly.
The Puzzle Feeder looks like a kind of labyrinth in which you put dog food. That makes it much more difficult for your dog to eat dog food with his tongue and he learns to take his time when eating. In addition, there is a second accessory that can rotate. According to the makers, the Puzzle Feeder is designed with soft, but durable materials.

Think of this with crowdfunding
Keep in mind that crowdfunding is always primarily supporting an idea, with no real guarantee that the actual product will meet your expectations. So choose the projects and start-ups that you really believe in and follow the regular development and shipping updates that the start-ups communicate. Supporting projects through crowdfunding is therefore not the same as shopping.
