Every dog plays differently and, since not all toys are created equal, it’s always best to keep a close watch on your pup in case things get ruff. Supervised play will help toys last longer and most importantly keep your pal safe. No dog toy is truly indestructible, so always remove the toy from playtime if pieces begin to break off.

Surprisingly effective dispenser
By LinInDel on Dec 30, 2020
We use treat dispensers for our dog's dinner, to give her a bit more exercise and stimulation. She's learned how to dispense food from most of them really quickly, though. While this dispenser has very large holes at each end, so a lot of treats can come out at once, the egg shape make it surprisingly challenging. We also like how easy this is to fill--we need a funnel for some dispensers!

Break time for me!
By LucysMom on Jan 6, 2021
My Boston Terrier destroys anything she plays with. So far this is holding up after a week. Only problem with this ball is that as she paws at it to release the food, the ball eventually unscrews itself spilling all the food! Maybe I just have a very clever dog lol!

Great for our fast eater
By FunForAll on Dec 25, 2020
We purchase this for our 4 month old daschund that eats too fast and doesn'tchew her food. She really enjoyed the toy, (after getting a little impatient with it). This allows her to eat without getting sick and gives us some entertainment as well!

works well, but is too loud
By DebS on Dec 2, 2020
We call it, Supper Ball. Keeps my smarty-pants pup occupied for 20+ minutes AND stops him from inhaling his kibble in 4.2 seconds! It works. We use it every day. The only bummer, is that it is SO LOUD! We have hardwood floors, and it's just completely obnoxious. We'll keep our eyes open for a quieter alternative [maybe something silicone...??] but until then, will continue to use it daily

It’s just okay
By Hercpupmom on Dec 31, 2020
I was hoping my dog would be stoked for this. My dog has the “I’m not a dog” attitude and this is beneath him. He’s not interested in rolling a ball around for food. Maybe he’d respond better to the smaller ball.

Best for Medium to Large Sized Kibble
By Ruben on Nov 28, 2020
This is the best dispenser for medium to large bits of kibble. I imagine small kibble would just pour out. I love that I could snip the rubber bits to make the opening bigger. I needed it big enough for my puppy’s kibble to come out fairly easily or he gets too frustrated.

More Quiet than Most
By ChihuahuaMom on Oct 3, 2020
The pros: toy is light weight so it is safe for small dogs, more quiet than most toy feeders, holds an entire meal for my 8Lbs dog, easy for me to screw open and close, & keeps my dog from eating too quickly. The cons: the description of the toy claims that it is adjustable and I guess it is...technically speaking but I was disappointed to learn that by adjustable they meant you could cut the prongs down to make the kibble fall out easier. However, there is no going back once you cut the prongs so you can’t make the toy harder if they get better at using it. One thing I have figured out is that I can put different sizes and shapes of kibble in the toy and that has a big impact on how long it The pros: toy is light weight so it is safe for small dogs, more quiet than most toy feeders, holds an entire meal for my 8Lbs dog, easy for me to screw open and close, & keeps my dog from eating too quickly.

We have been buying our dog Fromm’s dog food and the different flavors have different types of kibble sizes and shapes. So, when she had surf and turf she could finish in about 10 more minutes but when we switched to pork chops and apple sauce it takes her about 20 minutes to finish. … more

Have four, one came fused together in last order
By Bernedoodle on Sep 5, 2020
My dogs really love these great dispensers because I can put different sized treats in each and they can choose which they want to play with (surprisingly, they don’t gobble them all down when all are out and choose only one to play with at a time). I purchased one before I made an order of three just to be sure they liked playing with them. My last order, two came as described and have given my dogs excellent stimulation, but one of the three cane fused together, so I can’t open it to put treats in easily. I’ve been using extremely small treats and stuffing them into the holes at the top and bottom for my dogs to use. This would be five stars if they had properly cut the ball in half, but you My dogs really love these great dispensers because I can put different sized treats in each and they can choose which they want to play with (surprisingly, they don’t gobble them all down when all are out and choose only one to play with at a time).

I’ve been using extremely small treats and stuffing them into the holes at the top and bottom for my dogs to use. This would be five stars if they had properly cut the ball in half, but you can see from the picture the cut is there but it doesn’t go fully through the (thick) rubber that you should be able to lock/unlock together. I could not take the tag off fully since it extends into the ball, so they have an extra obstacle that makes getting the treats out harder. For $16, I am a little disappointed I have to do this, but it still serves its purpose. I hope PetSafe realizes they have a production error and fixes it for anyone else looking to purchase this. … more

Design falls short
By Janice on Jan 5, 2021
I bought this for nose work, but dogs can’t get the treats out. I stopped using, I feel this is poorly designed.

Not well designed
By Content on Aug 15, 2020
I'd high hopes because I needed a treat dispenser for a smart dog and it seemed like this might do the trick. It dispenses after effort, no complaints there, and I do like that I can determine the size of the opening/difficulty. What I disliked and what has resulted in it being pitched less than an hour out of the box is that firstly, they chose to put stickers on the container - not shown in the images, which my dog promptly began eating off and I had to spend some time scrubbing the paper and gummy residue off so she wouldn't ingest it. (And really, why put stickers on a dog toy - they don't care what fun the dogs in the images are having!) But moreso, the plastic ribbing on the outside I'd high hopes because I needed a treat dispenser for a smart dog and it seemed like this might do the trick.

But moreso, the plastic ribbing on the outside while it feels smooth to the touch, once ripped, it's sharp and cut my Molly's gums up. I didn't see a way I could remedy this, despite cutting back the edges she'd managed to gnaw at so it had to find a home in the garbage. The concept is great, but it needs some design fixes to make it less harmful. … more
