Busy Buddy Bristle Bone Treat Dispenser Tough Dog Chew Toy

We have a short haired 75 lb, 11 month old giant Goldendoodle puppy. “Gus the Gentle Giant”, I call him! I got him this bone when he was 3 months old. He has played with it for months. It has been a great chew toy & has really held up. And I like that I can reorder new treats to put in it. They didn’t care for the peanut butter flavor, but the rest were great! Gus carries this bone around in his mouth and plays with the other dogs with this buddy chew. He constantly has a toy or bone in his mouth to show off & this is his go to chew. I think the pieces in the center feel good and massage his gums. He is a tough chewer & this product held up through the tweeting, chewing and playing.

He can destroy a large yak chew in about an hour. Yesterday, he started out chewing on it in the morning. He finally managed to chew on it until he was able to loosen & unscrew the end of it. The components all fell off. He continued to chew the end, so I couldn’t screw it back together because it stripped the bar. Sadly, it went in the trash. I am still impressed that it lasted that long though! We will absolutely be replacing it with a new one! He loves this toy so much! The little orange rubber pieces smell sweet, like vanilla, too & still smell nice after months with him chewing it and taking it everywhere. We had the medium size which seems to be perfect for him. I could try a large size, but the medium has still been great for him & the other dogs can join in to play with Gus and the bone too. We have a whale toy and some other toys he can use until we get his new buddy bone shipped to him. … more

These are great & my dogs love them but I wanted to say how wonderful Chewy is!! I had an issue with a past order and when they found out about it they settled it with me way beyond my expectations!! Best customer service and best place to get all pet supplies!! Thanks Chewy for being so awesome!!! Our furbabies know when they see a chewy box & they get so excited!! Will always be a customer!

Got a dog that will chew, this may well be for you. But I have a 12 year old adopted (retired sled dog) Siberian Husky with some plaque and tarter issues. I thought this toy might help avoid a full dental cleaning. Pshaw. She is a non chewer as a rule, but I thought maybe some flavored toothpaste or even some embedded kibble would get her on task. She looked it over, smelled a bit, and actually backed up and shook her head NO. Back to the drawing board for me.

I have a 1-year-old Shepherd/Lab mix who chews through just about anything. In fact, she would eat the house if we would let her. This little handy-dandy, refillable/reusable bone chew toy alleviates her (easy to come by) boredom and has held up wonderfully to her active, extreme chewing. Of course it shows her chew marks on the sides but that doesn’t bother her.

Hands down one of my dog's top favorite toys. Even without the treat rings, she enjoys it (though not as much). She's a very smart dog, but with treats, it's a challenge that occupies her for a long while. There must be something about the taste of the 'bones' on either end that she loves - a little too much, actually, to a small point of concern (she would chew so much that the hard plastic would get indented, then brittle, and started to gnaw at her gums when she'd gnaw on it). It's an excellent toy overall, though - just make sure you keep an eye on your dog if they're really intent on the chewing at the white bits.

My dog loves this and it keeps her occupied for a good 20 minutes or so! My only complaint is that the sizing for the disc refills is unclear and inconsistent. The size small for the Bristle Bone requires size B treats, even though other "small" Busy Buddy toys use size A treats. Be sure to read carefully which size you need to get.

I purchased this for a 14-month golden retriever. He loved it, and the difficulty of getting the rawhide treat from between the rotating pieces was obviously super fun for him! Unfortunately, when he dropped it from his mouth onto our tile floor, the plastic axle broke right through, rendering the whole toy unusable. I might order another and only allow play on carpet, given how much fun he had, but folks with tile floors throughout should take note.

My small dog has an underbite so his teeth are prominent. I was warned Shih Tzus tend to have teeth problems but this dental toy keeps his teeth, even in back, very clean. So clean that people comment on his white teeth. And he loves it! Every year or so I buy a new one because it gets so filthy, but you can run it in the dishwasher to extend its life. I just wish food inserts were made in USA.

Owners try getting the best for their furry besties. And that’s what I thought when I got this. He liked to chew on it for a while, and was just more thrilled for a new toy than anything. Then I realized he wasn’t chewing where the bristles were— he was chewing ON THE HARD PLASTIC PARTS! We tossed the toy. It didn’t live up to safety standards we have for our pooch, and nobody wants to know it’s made of hard plastic that dogs can and will chew on.

I've been looking for more enticing dog bones and toys for my pittie mix and wanted to try this out. PROS: - So far, very durable but I rotate all of his toys to keep him stimulated - Offers a long play time even without the treat - Love the purple nylon gum massage element as well and so does the pup. - After a 5-10min chew on this, my 7yr old dog will fall asleep which is amazing. CONS: - Don't think I'll use the rawhide again, my boy got VERY sick after eating a test treat. - The screwing element got stuff after one use so I couldn't even add a second treat if I wanted to - Depending on the strength of your chewer, some of the elements will erode making malfunctions easier I've been looking for more enticing dog bones and toys for my pittie mix and wanted to try this out.

Overall, it's a decent toy and I'll check out other Busy Buddy items soon enough once this toy has met the end of its life. … more
