Doc & Phoebe's Cat Co. The Hunting Snacker Interactive Cat Treat Toy, Blue

The item arrived broken; I couldn’t slide the door to add/release treats. Besides that, my cat didn’t like the hard plastic and prefers her soft-bodied mouse toys. I wouldn’t buy again and wouldn’t recommend.

I've purchased at least four of these over the years, my most recent one was in September, and the one before that in 2022. It’s hands down one of my cat’s favorite toys, and one of the only treat dispensers we keep coming back to. What sets it apart is the design: the fabric outer layer mouse makes it easy for my cat to carry around or toss in the air, and the hard plastic inside makes it sturdy and functional. The large opening with adjustable widths is super helpful, most cat treats fit without issue. The little string that secures the fabric cover is usually the first thing to go, likely because my cat tosses it around so much, but overall, the quality is quite good considering how much wear and tear he puts it through (and comparable to his other toys). My only real challenge is that my cat figured out how to slide the adjustable opening to get the treats out faster, clever guy! Once he does, he's in heaven and empties it pretty quickly. Because of this, I try to keep it off carpeted areas where he has more grip to slide it open. Even so, I still absolutely love it and will continue to buy replacements as needed. I’ve tried several treat dispensing toys, and this one (along with a treat ball) consistently comes out on top. It’s cute, functional, and durable, perfect for keeping smart, active cats engaged. For added compleixity, I hide it in places he likes to nap (like under my desk or in his bed) to keep him entertained while I work. I’d love to see more fabric designs or even replaceable covers in the future, but all in all, this is an excellent toy that I can’t recommend enough!
