Busy Buddy Kibble Nibble Treat Dispenser Dog Toy

Small is great for 9lb pomeranian, larger is great for 51lb staffy GSD mix. The larger one untwists open after awhile, so I just check it after a bit and tighten it. The small one stays shut no problem and I've had it for a couple years now. I don't leave these out; when they are empty or if the bigger dog starts to chew it, I take it away; so they've lasted longer then otherwise. They are a little noisy naturally, it's hard stuff rolling around inside hard plastic... but I don't care cuz they are stimulated and occupied. I don't use it as slow feeder, so I don't fill them up; and this partial fill lasts a good 10 minutes or so, which is perfect so they don't get frustrated and destructive.

This is great as both a treat you and a slow feeder. My dog eats way too fast and then whines because she wants more and with this I fill it with her kibble and she is mentally stimulated while also feeding herself slowly. I can also put treats in it and leave it out while I’m at work so she has something to do. Best dispenser of this sort that I’ve ever tried (and I’ve tried several)

My dog has eaten out of maze bowls but never toys like this. She had a super tough time figuring it out and even when I made the “prongs” shorter, she had a hard time getting the food out and just seemed frustrated. If you are looking to level up on your dog’s smarts, this is the toy for them. If your dog is a beginner, start somewhere else.

Our Bernese mountain dog LOVES this toy. At first he was scared of it, but now he loves having his dinner from this. We did cut some of those plastic pieces to let his food out easier. We place about 2 cups of food and this lasts him about 30-45 mins of pure fun. His tail wags aggressively and truly loves this.

I got this for my dog to help keep him busy as I return to the office. He LOVES it! The only downside is he rolls it into really strange spaces that I cannot always find. We have 3 of these and right now I only know where one is. Other than that, it's perfect!

I'm pretty disappointed that this toy doesn't have the tines shown in the pictures. The only picture where you can clearly see the openings, it shows 6 long tines. In reality there are 3 long tines and 3 short ones. I have a very smart, active, and food motivated dog. We feed him most of his meals out of treat dispensers, but his kibble falls out too easily. I'd probably partially cover the openings with tape or something if it was otherwise great, but it is also shockingly loud on hard surfaces. We typically feed him his dinner after our young kids go to bed, but this is loud enough that it keeps them up, even though they're on a different floor!

I have a hard time taking calls when I'm near it, and we can't hear the TV while it's in use. It isn't a bad item; it functions like it's supposed to, it holds a lot, and it's easy to fill and clean. I just don't recommend it unless you have carpet. … more

Once she quit barking at it when it rolled across the floor I began to love this toy. She stays occupied for long periods of time trying to figure out just how to get those treats to come out of there. I usually have to pick it up to make her stop.

This is a great toy snd my Hans absolutely loves it but if you happen to not supervise every second and the dog bites down too hard it makes the plastic threads impossible to open or close again. My dog has succeeded in opening his ball. Better design with the method of closing is strongly suggested. He loves it so much I keep buying though.

I bought one years ago for a Basset mix I fostered that would gobble down his food and then stalk everyone else and bark at them trying to steal their food. Now I have an over energetic pit/Dane mix baby that just needs a little mental stimulation. She is also a super chewers. I got the large size not knowing how big she is going to get. It took her a few times to get it but she eventually figured it out. I have to screw it tight because it's come undone a few times. Because she is a chewer, I make sure to put it away in the food box between feedings. I'm happy it's working out for her.

I bought this along with two other puzzle dispenser toys and this one is amazing. We have 3 dogs- a Weimaraner (5 years old), a GSP mix (6 years old), and a Lab/Beagle mix (8 years old). The weim & GSP have tons of energy still, even after playing for hours at an 8-acre dog park and this is just what they needed! They’re exhausted after getting all of their dinner out, so much so that we trade off who gets it each night (the alternative is an easier puzzle). Works like a charm! Definitely supervise your dog with this, however, especially if they’re use to puzzles and/or very intelligent.

Highly recommend it! It’s also really easy to sanitize (top rack of the dishwasher as long as you don’t put it on high temp wash). … more
