Pet Zone IQ Treat Dispenser Ball Dog Toy

My 8.5-weeks old pup got so discouraged bc she couldn't get food out, she wouldn't play with it any more! Lol, I first tried with just the middle layer in place, but very few pieces came out. My pup gets all of her meals from the Kong Stuff-A-Ball so she's fluent at using her snout and paws to dig and spin the container. Her ego was hugely bruised by this toy, however. I helped her shake out a few treats and then she would just sit and wait for me to do it for her, completely gave up. Even after I took out all the layers, with just the ball shell, and sweet talking her to try it again, she still refused. I ended up landing the ball on the opening so treats are bound to come out, and tried to My 8.5-weeks old pup got so discouraged bc she couldn't get food out, she wouldn't play with it any more!

I ended up landing the ball on the opening so treats are bound to come out, and tried to encourage her. Idk if she saw through that and thought it was an insult to her intelligence. She held grudges and released it on me later in the evening (shouting and biting). Thanks to this ball I saw a new side of my new pup! With wrath, but abundant personalities. … more

This is the best money I've ever spend on dog supplies. My Henry is young and active but hates playing alone. He puts his Kong under my chair while he eats it (not great for work from home / video calls) and even wants me to hold the end of his bully stick while he chews. In the past, he's made at most 2 attempts at any puzzle before picking it up and dropping it on my lap, but he pushed this ball around on his own for a full 20 minutes before demanding help. Once I removed the blue layer, he spent another hour playing on his own. Life changing for the both of us!

I have 20 lbs Terrier mix that loves this. I have an egg-shaped one as well that she loves, but that doesn't have the "levels" in. This one keeps her occupied for 15-20 minutes. Due to the size, it does get lost under furniture. I think the description says a quarter of a cup of food, but I was able to squeeze in a half cup. Granted I had to be creative about it, but I managed to cram it in there. It is NOT quiet, she bangs it around quite a bit, off of furniture, the wall, under my chair & desk when I am working. It doesn't bother me as long as she is having fun. It is easy to wash (dishwasher), and is quite durable.

My dog hasnt really played with toys, we have been trying out different things ti see if we can get him into it more. He is very interested in this toy because food comes out of it so its slow goings right now but hes figuring it out. We had to do trial and error to find treats that cpuld fit but not just fall through. Also hard to find small treats that arent too fatty that he can have a few every day and be fine. We bought at our local pet store. This toy has excellent quality very durable and doesnt come undone on its own, the different levels of the toy are good controls to how difficult your dog needs it to be

My 3 1/2 month old golden retriever puppy absolutely LOVES this toy! She pushes it all over the place in anticipation of the treats that fall out. I used Wellness Soft Puppy Bites from here at Chewy. I broke them apart at the perforations, and it was the perfect size for this toy. The included instructions are pretty weak. The only thing they tell you how to do is unscrew it in the middle. Inside there are three discs, and there are no clear instructions on how to remove them. I was so afraid I was going to break them, because I didn’t know exactly how to take it apart. The way you remove the disks is by twisting the disc itself to pop it out of the socket. So don’t use pliers, just twist the My 3 1/2 month old golden retriever puppy absolutely LOVES this toy!

The one downside is that this ball is too big to fit in my puppy’s mouth, so when she pushes this into a tight corner she can’t maneuver with her mouth and paws, she gets really frustrated, and she’ll starting barking until I rescue her ball. With the three different levels, this ball will last for quite a while. My puppy stayed interested in this ball for quite a long time. … more

I was skeptical about this. I had pet sitters give it to my 13 year old dog while I was on vacation (they were home.) This toy has made him so active! He acts like a puppy while playing with this. He jumps and runs, will play for 20 minutes straight, which is a long time for this old pup!! It’s an excellent toy. The only negative is that it can hold only a small amount of treats and it’s hard to screw together.

I didn't think this would be as much of a hit as it was with my dog, Ruby. She LOVES this- it keeps her entertained for hours and seems super durable. It even withstands my elderly, destructive Aussie who normally shreds toys. It does tend to roll under furniture and get stuck, but we just make it work. Love the different difficulty levels, and it's super easy to clean and refill. Might need to buy a second on!

We give this to our 5 year old bull dog to increase her activity... boy do they like to sleep. :) She gains weight very easily and totally eats her meal in 5 seconds. Hmm... maybe 2 seconds. What works for us ...we put half of her kibble for dinner in the ball and half in her bowl. Yes we do take her for walks daily but we do feel that with this ball toy she gets a little more exercise for the day and slows her eating down. And.... she loves it! We did take one of hardest piece of the ball out so she doesn't get frustrated and it still works great! We'll give her sometime and maybe place it back in. Great exercise and keeps her interested.

This ball is phenomenal. It’s a puzzle, it’s a ball, it’s a fetch toy, it’s a treat, all in one!! Our puppy loves this and it’s one of the very best toys to tire him out before bed. He noses it around the patio, getting kibble treats along the way. Once he has a hold of it, he brings it back for a fun game of fetch (we don’t throw it like a rubber ball, just gently roll it for fetch). The plastic is rigid, so it has gotten quite scratched up from the patio and chewing, but it’s held up to the intensity of daily play by a puppy. Highly recommend!

The Good: -My dog loves it. -It keeps my Basset puppy Parsnip occupied for a while. He loves rolling it around the apartment! This was after trying several more expensive treat hiding toys that the kibble came out of way too fast. The Bad: -Hard to close once filled. -LOUD as it rolls around on hard wood floors and crashes into walls -Not big enough to not roll under things like couches, etc. I wish it was a bit bigger so it didn't get lost so easily.
