Omega Paw Tricky Treat Ball Dog Toy

A hit among all the dogs! We have slow feed bowls, puzzles, Kongs, those foraging mat things, everything. The dogs love this! They like pushing it around with their noses. I highly recommend this to elderly pets who need more exercise, obese pets who need to slow down feeding time, bored pets who need stimulation, and pet parents who just want 10 seconds to go pee without a bunch of beady dog eyes staring at you. If you have multiple dogs, I recommend only getting one and then getting other toys. It gets to be too much have 3-4 dogs all roaming around the kitchen following their balls.

I bought one about 7 years ago and my dog still loves it! Bought it when she was a puppy to help keep her busy when I left the house or when I was too busy to play. I pushed it around a few times to get her going and she caught on very quickly. She is a lab/pit mix and very hard on toys but this has held up. Once "chewing" stage passed, I would leave it out all the time. Now she will bring the ball to me when she wants to roll it around. Great interactive toy but it is not designed to be a chew toy.

Our 12 pound terrier mix spent about 10-15 minutes with this treat ball and absolutely destroyed the top, where the treats enter the ball. We only used it maybe 4 times before he was able to totally tear it apart. Very cheap, we do NOT recommend this; our dog takes months upon months, even years to tear apart other rubber toys and treat balls. Not worth the few dollars!

We bought this for our cocker spaniel 20 years ago. Our hearts were broken when the end of her life came but for some reason we held on to this ball. We have since adopted an older golden retriever who enjoyed the ball until his last days. Currently we have an energetic 2+ year old golden retriever and he LOVES this ball. In fact we now put his dry kibble in it to extend his meal time as he eats too quickly. I have recommended this ball to several friends and have even given it as gifts to new dog owners. You will not be disappointed.

I bought this trick toy just because I got a really good deal on it. Thought i'd be something to try out but my GSD actually likes it. Super easy to grip and sometimes she likes catching it. But she enjoys eating kibble out of it. I put her in her crate when I go to work and sometimes she doesn't eat before so I just put a little bit of kibble in there so she can entertain herself and also eat a small amount of food. It gets messy though cause if it rolls too far, the kibble will fall out. THat's the purpose of it so I don't care. Definitely recommend!!

I knew it was the toy for my dog when I read the reviews saying it was too hard to get the treats out. I put a couple handfuls of kibble into it and it keeps him entertained a lot longer than other similar toys. When it's more full the kibbles fall out much more easily, and as it empties they fall out more rarely, but he hasn't had a problem getting them all out, it just takes some time(this is a good thing). The sound of food rolling around inside keeps him interested. My one gripe is that it does not seem very durable. I have to keep an eye on him to make sure he's not destroying it and put it up when he's done, because he loves to roll it around and chew on it even when he knows it is empty I knew it was the toy for my dog when I read the reviews saying it was too hard to get the treats out.

He loves to play fetch with this thing too. Highly recommend picking one up if you have a pup that is always full of energy. … more

Ella (70 pound Lab/Sheppard) is not a dog that plays with toys for long period of time. However, ever since we purchased the Omega Paw treat ball she absolutely loves it. We put inside some treats and she pushes it all over the house. She brings it too us when she wants to play. She has also learned that if she picks it up and drops it, a treat may pop out. It is hilarious to watch her with this ball. We love this.

Omega Paw makes my favorite treat dispensing toy! I use my Tricky Treat balls (I have 7) with my puppies and adult dogs, mostly at mealtime. Working for supper slows down my fast eaters and stimulates thinking and eye-paw coordination. They have just the right amount of difficulty so dogs don't get discouraged and give up. They also reward at a good rate, unlike some toys I have tried that dump the treats out way too fast. They are very durable, and even though I don't leave them out after the kibble is gone, some of my clients have them out all the time. As a dog trainer I recommend Tricky Treat balls to my clients, especially those with puppies.

I bought this for my shih tzu and small terrier mix. There is no challenge for them as the hole is so big multiple kibbles fall out every time they roll the ball. However, they like playing with the ball, and I'll surprise them with some kibbles every once and awhile. At $2.99 it's not a bad toy, but it doesn't keep a dog busy for long.

I've had all sorts of "treat balls" such as Kong's.. but my dog ALWAYS got the treats out of them way too fast which defeated the purpose of using them as a distraction tool. So when I saw so many reviews complaining that this toy was "too difficult" for their dog to get the treats out.. I knew it was the right product for me haha. Instead of being able to get all the treats out in 5 minutes or less, it takes my dog at LEAST a half hour to get every kibble out of this ball which is great for me when I need to cure his boredom or keep him distracted haha. Definitely makes him work for it! However I would not recommend this for small dogs. It's almost too big for my 80lb dog to pick up haha.
