iFetch iDig Stay Dog Toy, Blue

The concept of this toy is good and our golden retriever puppy loved digging in it. However after 2 or 3 uses, we found it is not durable at all. Many of the plastic tabs that connect the flaps to the base have broken off as a result of her digging, leaving the flaps loose and useless to the purpose of the toy. For the price, mfr should sell replacement flaps or make better connectors (metal ?) than the little plastic white ones holding the flaps onto the toy.

My dog loved this toy so much that he destroyed the “dig” flaps. Now I have a huge useless plastic toy. I contacted the manufacturer about selling replacement treat flaps but never heard back from anyone. It’s a great idea poorly conceived in how to sustain the play value after wearing out.

I have a very energetic dog who loves to dig. No matter how much exercise she gets in a day, she always has a lot left over. This was suggested to us by her vet and it's been a lifesaver! She happily spends at least 2 hours everyday looking for treats (meaning no running around the house, no more destructive behavior, and we don't have to keep coming up with way to keep her entertained). Since you can take out the mesh sheets and rearrange the order, we can keep changing it up on her, which keeps her working hard and using her brain. I can't recommend this enough!

My puppy loves this toy. She loves to dig so this is very fun for her to be able to dig freely. She’s not interested if I put toys in there which the toy is marketed for. She loves when I put her kibble or treats in there. Three stars because it is not very well made for the price. On the first day my puppy bit through the mesh material flap. The point of the flap is so that the pup can see what they’re digging for but that seems unnecessary to me - they can smell what they’re digging for and my puppy just tries to dig through the mesh and destroys it. It’s pretty torn up now. Bummer for the price paid that it was so easily destroyed.

I loved the idea of this, and thought it would be a great enrichment activity for our dog. First off, it slides around on carpet, so I do not recommend this version if your flooring is carpeted. Most concerning, the pieces broke within an hour of use. I am grateful we watch everything closely as the small pieces that broke off seem like something that could be easily swallowed and could ultimately perforate vital organs while being digested. I think it’s a great concept, but definitely would not recommend this version.

They adore this toy ...... and can't wait to play every morning. I wish they would make more toys like this !!!!! That being said, you have to watch them because my dogs broke off two of the little white plastic pieces that hold the canvas material in place. Otherwise this is the perfect toy !!

Honestly, I was skeptical from the beginning but I though I would give this a try. I like the idea and it keeps my pup entertained, but it seems like it was made very cheap. Within the first couple minutes one of the pockets started to fray. Personally I thought the price was still high for being on sale. Definitely not big dog friendly.

It just arrived about an hour ago. I took a treat and broke it up into smaller pieces and hid it through the iDig and included her favorite toys. She spent the last hour digging and digging trying to get to them. She finally was able to find one of the treats and so it has given her the incentive to keep going. This toy is definitely worth the money. She will be worn out everyday now and have an Avenue to get rid of all of excess energy.

Was hoping it's more durable. Wanted a way to get my dogs to play and dig. Only the 8 month old puppy played with it but not for long. And she already ripped some of it up. A snuffle mat would be more affordable.

This toy is great! My dog has learned how to dig at the layers and uncover a variety of treats. The plastic base slides around on the carpet or floor, which I don't mind because it adds another thing my dog has to think about as she digs. It comes with 3 canvas layers that can be moved around or taken out as your dog learns to use it.
