The KONG Genius Mike is a treat-dispensing puzzle toy for small dogs and puppies, shaped to hold kibble or soft treats and release them as your dog investigates. Named after Michelangelo, it's designed to connect to the Genius Leo for a more challenging two-piece configuration.

The Mike's compact geometry slows treat release compared to simpler dispensing toys, giving anxious or bored small dogs a genuine job to do rather than a quick snack. Sustained foraging engagement reduces pacing and restlessness during alone time. For dogs that solve the single-toy version quickly, connecting it to the Genius Leo extends the difficulty considerably.

Small-breed owners often find the Mike holds attention longer than larger treat toys, where treats fall out too easily to sustain engagement. The challenge-to-reward ratio suits dogs that give up on puzzles that are too hard but lose interest in ones that are too simple.
