Omega Paw Tricky Treat Ball Dog Toy

Our lab-blue heeler mix is a high energy dog that can be very destructive if not given critical thinking opportunities. We’ve had this ball for over 3 years and she absolutely loves it and has not destroyed it. It’s a great way to feed her to slow down and also give her that mental exercise she needs. I also bought this for a co-workers older beagle who was not himself any more and she said that it has totally turned him around! I’m here again to purchase this ball for a 3rd time for a friends new puppy. Although I’ve seen some negative reviews due to its durability, I highly recommend giving it a try, especially because you can’t beat the price!

Honestly, this has been one of the best treat-dispensing purchases we've made. Our pup loves rolling this around, and because of the soft-ish plastic, it doesn't make a ton of noise on our hardwood floors. It's tough enough that he hasn't ruined it (unlike the fancy "The Game" from Fable pets - which he ruined in an amazing 5 minutes). The only downside is that our dog empties this out super quickly! Maybe entertains him for about 5 minutes. We'll take what we can get, but I do wish it was a *little* more complicated so it lasted longer.

My lab mix loves this toy. Her regular, hard kibble works best as softer treats don't tumble well. It took her a day to figure it out, but now she loves it. The large size keeps it from going under most furniture, but the dimples allow her to easily pick it up when it accidentally gets kicked down the stairs or when she needs to bring it to me for a little extra help. Previously I'd give her kibbles in a large juice bottle, but that became too easy for her. This design is just tough enough to keep her entertained without preventing me from shaking out the final kibbles in order to wash it occasionally. Glad I got an extra one for her friend!

i hate this ball. it does seem decently tough when my dog was chewing on it, but it is SO HARD to get anything out of it. when i washed it, it was impossible to get all the water out even after leaving it to dry upside down over night. and my dog couldn’t get the treats out and i literally had to shake it up and down as hard i could to get them out. it sucks.

My family dog growing up (Labrador) had one of these and it provided hours of entertainment, so I knew I had to get one for my puppy (Golden Retriever). We don’t put treats in, just skim a little of her breakfast or dinner off (dry, not soaked) and put it in there for use when “witching hour” hits or our puppy starts getting feisty but it’s not nap time yet. She absolutely adores it!

Seriously serious chewer. He’s a 7 yo German shepherd who has been gnawing on this (treat filled) ball since Christmas. I see others said their dogs destroyed it quickly but so far it’s in good condition. I fill it with tiny treats and he is happily occupied for an hour or so. It might help build practical intelligence - he’s already learned to fling it up in the air for a good bounce to hopefully get a treat. He also rolls it with his paws. Intermittent rewards tend to cause persistent behavior.

This ball is just so so as feeding toy. When the kibble start to get low in the ball, it gets stuck under the ledge that's inside to keep the food in. This will only keep their attention if your dog is highly motivated to keep trying. The ledge could be shorter so that the food will actually come out.

For all the one start ratings that let their dog destroy the toy, this is not a chew toy, it is a treat dispenser. If you fill it up with treats and send the dog on their way of course they are going to shred this! You need to show your dog that it dispenses treats. I use this for my 2 heavy chewer labs, during meal time to slow them down. They roll the ball along the floor or pick it up and flip it and gobble up the kibble. I take the toy away when they are done, I do not give them the opportunity to start chewing on the toy, this also helps to keep the toy interesting by not letting them have it all of the time.

My dog loves this ball! I was leaving the house and wanted to give my doggie something to do today and I could not find the ball...tragic!!!! He loves this toy so much! I am ordering 2 today so I will have a backup!

This is one of my border collie puppy’s fave toys. The treats come out slowly, which is a good thing because it keeps him busy. The uneven exterior makes it roll unpredictably for extra challenge. It’s soft enough for him to carry or chew on. Nothing fancy here, just a well-designed ball toy that suits my puppy.
