Pet Zone IQ Treat Dispenser Ball Dog Toy

I’ve never written a review for a toy before but this one was too good not to write about. Bought this for my 4 year old French Bulldog and she loves it! Can’t begin to count the number of toys I’ve bought for my fur baby where she played with them for 1 minute and became instantly bored. That was not the case with this toy! My husband and I watched our little nugget roll this toy all over the house for at least 30 minutes, if not longer. It’s been a great way to keep her active and burn some energy when it’s too hot for walks in the Las Vegas summer heat. We’ve purchased some of the other toys that hold treats and bounce around but the hole is usually too large and treats fall out too quickly I’ve never written a review for a toy before but this one was too good not to write about.

We’ve purchased some of the other toys that hold treats and bounce around but the hole is usually too large and treats fall out too quickly making it fun for about 30 seconds. The internal maze that the treats have to go through in this interactive ball before they fall out, is brilliantly thought through. It’s not too easy where you have to refill the ball right away but not too difficult where the dog starts to get disinterested or thinks there’s nothing left inside. Love this toy! I highly recommend. … more

My 6 month old blue heeler mix loves this ball. At first she was terrified of it, but once she knew treats were dispensed, she was hooked. When she gets a little restless with being inside it’s the first toy I go to. There are levels of difficulty by removing the blue and white panels inside the ball but I find she does great with at the hardest level. I will say for a dog with a bigger mouth I could see them chewing the ball to get out the treats. Luckily her mouth is just a little small to grip it so she knows to push it around to get the treats out. We typically just put a little bit of kibble in it instead of actual treats. Lastly I want to mention it can be a little loud. This may be because My 6 month old blue heeler mix loves this ball.

I have a 2.5 year old Puggle girl who is kenneled most of the day. I got her this ball to help her calm down and receive some stimulation throughout the day. She LOVED IT. Got every treat out. I used the authority training treats from PetSmart and they fit perfectly and were the perfect size for her. She had a hard time figuring it out at first, but I helped her through it. Puggles are very food motivated so she kept going until the last one. Definitely recommend for those food motivated dogs who have so much energy!!!!

We have had success with this little thing. It keeps the Stu dog occupied for short bursts of time and he really loves when stuff drops out. It's like a surprise every time. When we got the ball Stewie was still pretty young 3 months maybe, and so it really scared him. Now though he has figured it out and will bat it around for a bit. As some of the other reviewers have said, holes are a bit small so no big treats. We use it to put kibble in and works great. The one thing I would say, it's bottom-heavy, and the middle piece only goes in one way. I understand why you don't want it to stay upside down, I guess, but honestly, with the size of the holes, it doesn't seem necessary. I'd love We have had success with this little thing.

I'd love to be able to flip it so it can have one or two holes open. Maybe it wouldn't really make that big a deal. Would buy again. … more

My pup was having a hard time watching me not play with him while working from home. I got this hoping it would keep him busy so I could work more than an hour at a time. I gave this to him on the easiest level and he couldn’t figure it out so eventually he got bored and gave up. I knew he was smarter than that so I left it out and a couple hours later he went crazy on it. It’s now our favorite part of the day! Make sure the ball is bigger than their mouth! I got a 4” for my Boston and it’s perfect

Our 12-week old puppy loves this ball! It took her a few times playing with it to figure it out but once she did it was amazing. Our puppy chases it around for as long as she can keep it from getting stuck! It give us some peace of mind being able to hear her playing with it as we do laundry and don't have to worry. Plus, I'm shocked it hasn't broken after being thrown down the stairs, hitting the walls, or even from her carrying it.

A plastic rim is obstructing the treat dispenser. No matter how I tried, no treats came out of the ball, unless I carefully aligned a treat with the opening and shook it out. I tried removing the part that increases the difficulty, tried all sizes of treats, tried it full, partially full, and almost empty. Finally, I shook the ball vigorously side to side

eh, so my almost 3 month old German shepherd puppy didn't really care for this. Sure, he nudged it, here and there, and then left it alone. There are a variety of his favorite treats in there, and I know he smells them and knows they are in there. I will say it seems you would have to roll it around quite a bit to get a treat to fall out. I guess its durable, I'm not even sure we will get to test durability since it is currently sitting in a corner neglected. Oh well.

My dog enjoys this toy. I would caution that you should supervise with this toy so it won't get stuck in the mouth. I was hoping this would be fun for while I was gone but no. I like that it has levels of challenge. Enough to keep a dog interested without too much challenge that he/she might lose interest.

We got this about a week ago for our 2-year-old Aussie Shepherd. Overall, it's a great toy, solidly built, and a good size. We have several other treat balls/toys, most of which he can figure out how to get the treats out of in 5-10 minutes. This one is by far the most challenging---so much so that he gets disinterested. I am experimenting with taking out some of the plastic panels to make it a hair easier and keep his attention.
