Omega Paw Tricky Treat Ball Dog Toy

My sister had gotten the medium version of this for her pup and my pup loved it. I accidentally ordered the large, and you can guess my surprise when I opened the box to the 5" ball. I decided to keep it as I realized it perfectly fits a cup of food (plus there's still room for more, which I've placed longer treats in that are more difficult to come out). The ball keeps her entertained for a good 15 minutes while she eats her meals...and gives me a chance to eat mine in peace. Doesn't dispense too quickly. When I first got it it had a plastic-y smell (when I got close), but 2 weeks later I can't smell it unless I put my nose right to it.

Got this for my golden retriever puppy who loves playing with water bottles and other toys to fish out treats. I was so excited until it actually arrived—the inside funnel catches all of his treats when the ball turns upside-down! I understand the function of this “lip” is to make it more difficult, but as a result nothing I put inside was able to make its way out. Even I wasn’t able to get his treats with some vigorous two-handed shaking and turning. I’m so disappointed, because the material is sturdy and he seemed to really enjoy it until he realized that getting the food was an impossible task.

Our pup sometimes loses interest in eating out of a bowl, so this was the perfect solution! As he plays with it (keeps him entertained) kibble falls out. The act of sniffing out his food engages him enough to eat! It holds somewhere between .25-.5 of a cup of his kibble. It's very quiet on our floors and we haven't noticed any damage to the floors or walls from the ball hitting them. Easiest way for us to clean it is hand wash with warm water and soap, then let air dry or soak up with a paper towel (just be sure not to get the paper towel stuck!). Pup is 5 months old, got this for him at 3 months; 18 lbs.; Australian Shepherd mix; can hold the ball in his mouth because of the textured surface Our pup sometimes loses interest in eating out of a bowl, so this was the perfect solution!

I was not happy with this toy. I was hoping it was meant for larger dogs. My dog is 15 months and 110 lbs. She is a heavy chewers and very smart. The treats I used were her smallest cubes and they wouldnt come out of the opening. She realized they werent coming out so she chewed a hole into the ball. Destroyed it in less than 4 mins. Save your money if you have a large breed dog

This is THE favorite toy, forever and ever. It did take me a while to find the right treat to fit inside, though. Some were too big and others were too small and weren't a challenge at all... (hint: the Blue Dog Bakery Doggie Paws Peanut Butter Dog Treats are the perfect size). This is something that can occupy our dog all day! Also, it's quite durable. He hasn't been gentle and there's no holes or anything on this thing!

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!!

Zorro loves this ball and has been throwing it on the ground at walls ect and not one treat has come out! I put small/med and large treats in and nothing coming out! Even when it is squeezed really hard! Not sure if some are just made faulty because most people's pups seem to get some treats out! Very disappointed! He has been doing it for over 1 hr!!! I guess it is good that it is keeping him busy but nothing has come out!

My Lucy has a challenge getting her treats out of this toy, but she is persistent and has learned how to work the angles. When she began destroying the ball to get the treats, I corrected her. It's a toy to interact with, not shred. I'll try the Blue Dog Bakery Doggie Paws Peanut Butter Dog Treats, which have been reviewed to fit well. I would have liked if they suggested the right size from the start. I think it's totally worth the few dollars!

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!

I bought this new one in addition to the one I’ve had for 7 years or so. In that time the original has withstood an adult German Shepherd, rottie puppy, and pitbull puppy. The second one is just an addition because the old one is still in perfect condition. You can add any kind of treat, and I use the marrow treats. Keeps the new pitbull occupied and engages her brain.
