Busy Buddy Twist 'n Treat Treat Dispenser Dog Toy

The pros- The design allows you to screw it tighter or looser to adjust for the size of treat you are using. The cons- the rubber has such a strong smell, my pup, who can will sniff a treat out from 2 blocks away, wouldn’t go near it! I ran it thru the dishwasher & soaked it in a mild bleach solution & it still has a very strong rubber smell! NOT appetizing to my pup at all! Waste of money :/.

Our puppies love this toy, which dispenses their kibble as a surprise treat when they knock it around. I give it only three stars because it is difficult to “dial” the right-sized opening to allow just one piece of kibble to drop out of it at a time. Usually , several fall out simultaneously, making itnn by less challenging, and also making a mess on the floor. But the pups love to play with it!

My food motivated Beagle LOVES this toy! He is 16 years now and gets kind of antsy, so this really helps focus him on something to do. We have seen no damage to it at all and he will even carry it around with him. Best purchase so far!

Very well made, so I gave it a high score, would be good for maybe 10# and up, and esp. for tough chewers. It was just too much for my littles' jaws.

Would not recommend for heavy chewers. Didn’t realize a treat was stuck in there and she started to break off large pieces of purple plastic. The other toys are great. Would be okay for dogs that are content to spin and drop it to allow food to come out... mine took the impatient/destructive route. But customer service was great and issued a refund. Chewy member for life!

I purchased this food toy based on an online video review. It works exactly as described. I have used it with both peanut butter (LONG tongue working hard to get it out) and with kibble which falls out when rolled. I do love that you can take it apart to wash - to get out food like peanut butter. BUT, it has a VERY noticeable floral fragrance which my husband cannot abide so it is now kept outside on the deck an only used when he is not physically present.

This thing is AMAZING. I have a Jack Russel Terrier/Fox Terrier/Hungry Hungry Hippo mix. He tends to scarf down his crunchies as if he just stole them from a bank vault, but this dispenser toy makes mealtime last so much longer! He also requires near-constant stimulation so this keeps him entertained for a bit as well. It holds about 1/4 cup of kibble. If I want to get a little bit more longevity out of it, sometimes I'll spray a little cheese whiz or peanut butter on the inside of the toy as well; this will keep him licking at it even after he's gotten all of the kibble out. I also love that it's dishwasher safe. It does have a somewhat strange smell; it kind of smells sweet and powdery. This thing is AMAZING.

I think it's a pleasant smell, and it doesn't seem to bother my dog at all, but I thought it was worth mentioning in my review. … more

I didn't have the highest of hopes for this toy, but figured for the price it was worth a go. As it turns out it is the perfect size for my 5.5 pound dog and she loves it! It has quickly become a favorite in our house and she really enjoys flipping it and spinning it all over the floor. Definitely works best with small kibble/treats.

The medium size holds almost half a cup of my dog's food, so it's perfect for her dinner. She's a 13-lb dachshund mix and she loves moving it around with her snoot to get the food out. I had an old treat-dispenser ball that would roll across the house and under furniture, but this toy has a very practical shape that makes it easy to move without going too far.

This toy has a very strong smell that doesn't go away with washing. It does what it states and is a good interaction toy for my dachshunds. It is softer and our 5 month old did chew on it leaving chunks missing. I would say that it is better for an older dog that isn't teething.
