Omega Paw Tricky Treat Ball Dog Toy

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!

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.

First off, this thing smells good enough to eat! I wanted to chew on it myself! It's like a vanilla frosting coconut scent...delicious! Apparently my dog thought so too because instead of rolling it around to get the treats out she chewed a hole in it within the first 10 minutes of having it and poof, treats were gone. Not worth the money. Don't waste your time buying this if your dog is smart and is a chewer.

I got the larger-sized ball for my mini because her kibble is weirdly shaped and I thought she'd have fun with the larger ball. I had the smaller one once upon a time that was great (and I will probably buy again). But this one is . . . broken? Where are the inner flaps that keep the food from just pouring out? Judging by the rough edges inside the ball, it looks like they were cut out. I hope the smaller ones aren't screwed up like this. My girl loves these toys. :(

I do most of my pups’ feeding from toys and puzzles - I thought this would last a week and that both dogs would gnaw at it until it gave up kibbles, however, that hasn’t been the case! I know a toy is top notch when it gets hidden away and magically reappears. I bought two initially and already one has been squirreled away. Both my pups love pushing these balls around!

Nice little treat ball that keeps my pup happy for a bit, but I had to make a slight adjustment. The treats just weren't coming out at all, so I pulled the inner lip out of the hole and cut off about quarter inch off with scissors. Tucked it back inside, dropped some treats in, and that did the trick. The treats now fall out a bit easier and keep him engaged.

Our pups absolutely love this ball. It’s an excellent way to provide some mealtime enrichment while preventing them from eating too quickly. I also love the material - some of the other feeder balls we have are a hard plastic and make very loud noises on our wood floors. It’s also done exceptionally well on the top rack of our dishwasher.

This is a solid item for the price. It smells a bit like new vinyl/whatever, but it isn't a bad smell, and lets you know it is a clean, new item. This is my second, bought a different version from a different retailer a while back, but lost due to dog mess cleanup. So, consider me effectively a repeat buyer of this brand. I like this.

I wanted to love this ball treat giver, however, it was bigger than I thought,(yes, I measured) and some of the treats got stuck in the rim. I love the concept and my dog wants to play with it like a ball but, she knows there are treats in it and she gets frustrated trying to get them.

My dog barely played with this cause the treats just won’t fall out, no matter what she did. I couldn’t get them out either. Took a long time but I did get the treats out. I’ve tried various sizes of treats and the hole/tunnel is just too deep within the ball to allow treats to filter out.
