Busy Buddy Twist 'n Treat Treat Dispenser Dog Toy

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.

It’s hard rubber. Won’t mark floors. Kibble fits in well. My only complaints are minor 1. The threads are such that lining up the holes at the smallest setting forces you to have to really crank it down. 2. The scent of baby oil which must be the scent of the rubber - is overpowering. My dog didn’t realize there was food in it by scent. But once I showed how it works, that problem was short lived. I did wash it a few times with soap and water and the smell is impregnated into the rubber. Hoping a run through the dishwasher or just time will let the smell leach away. 3. I do wish I purchased the large. The medium gets wedged under cabinets and makes it frustrating for the dog. The large obviously It’s hard rubber. Won’t mark floors. Kibble fits in well.

Got this in small for my Yorkie and it is great. Perfect for during dinner time when we eat. She eats also but it takes longer for her than just gobbling down her dinner from the bowl. Tried to buy a second but the small was sold out. Got a medium but it’s a bit big for my small Yorkie.

I've been shopping for puzzle toys for my GSP for a while to help slow his eating and keep him busy. This stretches lunch time into at least 10 minutes. It's not quite big enough for a full meal, but it easily fits a half cup of kibble.

We went with the large size for my 5 month old puppy and he absolutely loves it! Didn’t take him too long to figuring out how to get his treats out. Does not leave marks on the floor and easy to open and wash out. Just have to make sure the two big holes don’t align up together, makes the food come out much faster. Definitely he enjoys this toy!

I had one of these years ago and ended up giving it to a family member for their dog after ours had passed. Well, here it is 7 years later and I was ecstatic to find it again (this time in a smaller size). It took our 8 month old puppy a few minutes to figure out there were treats inside and now she's a pro at getting everything out, regardless of how tight it's closed! I only gave it 4 stars because she actually took a chunk out of one of the edges when she became frustrated the first time in trying to get a treat to fall out!
