Omega Paw Tricky Treat Ball Dog Toy

I have two dogs and was looking for something to occupy them while I make my breakfast. I bought several different types of treat dispensers--this one was the favorite by far for my Catahoola and Airedale terrier! They roll and roll it around to get the dog kibble to fall out. Then they carry it with them wherever they go in the house. I got the large size which is perfect for carrying around...or so the dogs tell me. So I got a second ball, one for each dog, which cuts down on the bickering and makes for a more peaceful breakfast.

I got this mainly because of the price and the other treat ball was difficult for my dog to get the treats out. This one works extremely well, as long as the treats are not too big or else they get stuck in the dispensing hole. I've learned to break up the Zuke's cookies I put in there along with other smaller treats. With the other ball, he would eat what he could then wait for me to come home from work before he could get the rest out. With this, he can push it around whenever he feels like it and get a treat out (so long as he doesn't push it under a shelf) and he actually teases me with it when I'm home. He'll drop it and let me get near it then pick it up in his mouth and run off with it I got this mainly because of the price and the other treat ball was difficult for my dog to get the treats out.

It does the job; it keeps him occupied while I'm at work. … more

I bought this for my Double-Doodle who loves a good challenge, but the lip inside of this ball is VERY difficult for anything to come out of it. Even I had a difficult time getting the treats out so I could add newer food. I ended up taking an exacto knife and cutting inside the lip to make it shorter - NO EASY TASK, but somehow I had success. Now he uses it and can still have the challenge of getting kibbles out without the frustration.

I use these treat balls for kibble for my dogs that eat too fast, also if they just need to be kept busy. I'll fill it with their breakfast kibble in the morning, put it down on the floor and leave for work. They don't even notice I'm gone because they are so focused on getting the kibble out of the ball. I consider this one of my most helpful dog tools in fostering dogs. Sometimes if they don't want to eat, they will eat if it's in the treat ball. They all love it!

My 19 month old Bernese Mt Dog has used one of these for kibble meals since I've had him. It engages his brain to get his food and he loves it. Sadly, I left the original at a vacation spot a few months ago...thus, this replacement. It's a great way to keep a dog enthusiastic, busy, and fed.

This was the first toy I got for my few month old puppy (Belgian Malinois) and it was how I fed him for the longest time. It makes them think a little; they have to nose it along the floor and the food/treat will fall out. Today, he is just shy of two years old and he still loves when I fill it up with his food or treats. True, he does not really play with it as a ball, but it is one of the few toys that have stood the test of time, and he still loves it.

I bought this for my anxious pup to entertain him while I was gone. He chewed his own holes to get the treats out the first time I Wasn't watching him play with it . Now it's just a $7 ball with holes in it .... treated came out at a great speed so for non chewers this may be ok!

my dogs love this treat ball. i use some of their breakfast and drop it into the balls and away they go! it is fun to watch them chase the ball as the bits of dry food drop out for them. i recommend this toy!

We have a number of treat dispensing toys. This is by far my least favorite. I have Malinois. They are good at figuring out toys and puzzles, but the design of this toy is super stingy. There is a long tube on the inside of the opening that tends to trap the treats no matter how diligently my dogs try to get them. I even have trouble getting the last few out myself to clean it. Maybe I got a defective one, but I can't recommend it unless you like seeing your dog super frustrated.

I'm not sure what treats to put in here. All the small treats I put in this ball can't come out. I can't even get them out. How do I expect my dog to get them out. There is a lip inside to make it harder for treats to come out but they just get stuck. Great concept. But my pit loses interest very quickly since the treats don't come out at all.
