An adjustable foraging feeder
Built for the nose that never clocks out.
Five scent-trail difficulty levels turn every meal into real foraging, not a 60-second gulp.

Dogs are built to search for a meal for hours, not seconds. A bowl deletes that job in one gulp — and the chewed baseboards and 6am pacing are the energy that job used to absorb.
Five tool-free settings move the baffles from one open lane to a tight maze.
Kibble or a topper drops into molded scent channels, spreading the smell out.
Once a level stops taking effort, move the dial up with the dog.
One turn switches depth from open tray to full maze.
Winding channels force a tracked trail, not a tipped bowl.
Three channel patterns without buying a second feeder.
Level 3 and up adds real resistance between bites.
Food-grade nylon composite, dishwasher safe, no loose parts.
A low center of gravity keeps it still at level 4 and 5.
The honest, peer-reviewed basis for foraging and scent work — caveats included.
Dogs will work for food even with free food available, though most still go to the free tray first.
They were willing, not drawn to it.Rothkoff, Feng & Byosiere (2024), Sci. Reports 14, 1314. doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-51663-x
Two weeks of daily nosework made dogs faster to approach ambiguous situations — a proxy for a more optimistic mood.
A proxy, not a diagnosis; one small study.Duranton & Horowitz (2019), Appl. Anim. Behav. Sci. 211. doi.org/10.1016/j.applanim.2018.12.009
Feeding-enrichment toys raised activity and appetitive behaviour in kennelled dogs, with less barking.
Small sample; authors call it short-term.Schipper et al. (2008), Appl. Anim. Behav. Sci. 114. dspace.library.uu.nl/handle/1874/32017
Same meal, same food — just takes longer to find.
An indoor nose task, not another chew toy on the floor.
A longer meal-time task before the habits start.
Nothing is for sale yet.
We can't promise that. It gives a bored dog a longer scent task at mealtime; chewing habits often have more than one cause.
Food-grade nylon composite, rated for moderate chewing, no small parts. Supervise first use; not rated for power-chewers.
Most slow feeders ship at one fixed difficulty. Scentry's dial changes channel depth and path length across five levels.

No. This is a concept we're testing. Joining the waitlist is not a pre-order; no payment is collected here.
Planned for small to large breeds, roughly 10–90 lb. Toy and giant breed versions aren't planned for the first run.
