Busy Buddy Magic Mushroom Treat Dispenser Dog Toy

Our dog is NOT a super fast eater but she enjoys interactive puzzles like this one that dispense treats. We put a cup of her kibble in here and toss it in with her other toys, so that she can dispense a mouthful here and there throughout the day. It seems well made, though the plastic isn't flexible, its hard all over as other reviewers mentioned. It was larger than I pictured it, and it took our 4.5 month old pup about a day to figure out the mechanism. One (for us) design flaw is that the 3 holes dial up or down, allowing it to be fully opened or fully closed. There's an in-between setting too, but that doesn't allow anything but the smallest kibble to dispense. So we just taped over one Our dog is NOT a super fast eater but she enjoys interactive puzzles like this one that dispense treats.

Our dog absolutely loves this and it requires him to balance which is great for his post knee surgery. It's a little more difficult one but he figured it out in no time at all. He nudges it with nose and flips it with front paws. Takes about 15 mins to eat.

I was excited to try this for my pup and it didn’t work to my expectation. It’s very too heavy so hard for pup to interact with it correctly. The window to open and close for difficulty is basically too easy the treats fall out or so hard the pup can’t get them out at all. Keep searching for a better treat dispensing toy. I will say it’s durable but that’s it.

We use this tool when our dog asks for extra food besides his 4 daily cups. After he chewed the side of the mushroom pretty good trying to get the food out, Duke learned how to properly flipped the washroom and get the food out of it; pretty cool! The mushroom keeps him entertained and on task, and it's better than just giving him extra food "for free." The only issue is how loud this plastic sounds every time it its the ground, for those who have no carpet. I wish it had some rubber edge or the plastic wasn't so hard, the noise is kind of too much.

Got this for my aussie and older plotthound. The plott tried it first as he’s used to super advanced puzzles and games. Kept him occupied for 1hr with a 1/4 cup of food in it. It also lasted the drops from the furniture with him tossing in the air to get it to shake out. Bonus you can make it more difficult by adjusting the dispensing rate

Got the Medium/Large. Love that I can easily put at least 1 cup of kibble in this toy to entertain and feed my 30lb dog. It takes him a while to get all his food out, so it's a useful slow feeder. However, the hard plastic toy does make a lot of noise banging against our wood floors. Plus our dog likes to chew on the edges of the plastic so it's very rough-looking now (though he hasn't made it crack yet and we've been using this for nearly 4 months!)

I bought this at the recommendation from other puppy owners. It is great with keeping my dog busy. You can adjust the difficulties of the kibble coming out. It doesn't roll under furniture like other kibble toys. What I don't like is: after awhile, it is hard to put together. And, if my dog hits it hard enough, it comes apart.

This was purchased for a larger dog and wasn’t too difficult for our dog to figure out. It is easy to fill, wash, and works very well to dispense kibble. Looking forward to using it as a distraction when we aren’t around. Will note she was able to pick it up and carry it, and in doing so tried to chew on it, leaving teeth marks behind.

This was a GREAT toy for my corgi. I often put her meal in this, it takes her 20-30 minutes to empty and keeps her busy physically and mentally. I got the small for my corgi since they are often in-between size recommendations and I'm glad I did, large would have been too unwieldy.

Overall would recommend this product as it allows entertainment and stimulation for pup. He goes CRAZY for this toy! I love how large the food staircase compartment is so I can put his breakfast or dinner in it, mixes things up from using his slow feeder bowl all the time. Only complaints would be the size of the holes seem small. The largest/easiest setting still doesn’t allow for most small training treats to go thru, so I’m having to break up some treats to put in there. Will never use the other three settings, as I’m not sure that would allow any food thru and frustrate my pup...works well with his dog food tho! Other is my concern about the plastic and it’s durability long term. This is Overall would recommend this product as it allows entertainment and stimulation for pup. He goes CRAZY for this toy!

Other is my concern about the plastic and it’s durability long term. This is a toy of only allow a semi close watch or hearing distance on so pup doesn’t try to chew and break plastic. Might cause damage to toy or other surfaces if dropped/banged against things too... Overall! I recommend this product! … more
