Questions & Answers

6 Customer Questions

It states the treat meter is adjustable but in one of the questions below you answer it is not. Could you please clarify. Thanks!

Answer by Chewy • May 24, 2018
The Treat Meter is adjustable, allowing pet parents to control the speed kibble and treats are dispensed and slow down dogs who love food so much they forget to chew.

How much food does this hold? I need it to hold 1.5 cups.

Answer by Chewy • Aug 15, 2018
This product holds approximately 2 cups of kibble.

Can this be washed in the dishwasher?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 20, 2024
This toy is top rack dishwasher safe.

Is this toy made in the USA or China?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 09, 2018

If you have hardwood or tile floors, be warned that this is really loud! We stopped using it for fear that our downstairs neighbor could hear it as our dog pushed it around the floor. Also it came with stickers on it that were virtually impossible to remove; after soaking and peeling we ended up damaging the plastic in an attempt to get them off. Love this brand in general but this item is a dud.

I like the size of this to use as a slow feeder for my 50lb dogs kibble. The kibble i use is small so i didnt need to cut any of the spikes. I dont like that if you cut them you cant ever make the opening smaller again but it doesnt really matter as long as i never cut them. Also slightly annoying to get this toy closed since its very hard plastic and the threading is small. Also hard to fill since theres openings on both sides. Spent a few minutes teaching my dog not to chew it and shes been good since then! Does make a ton of noise on hardwood floors, but would leave kibble dust if i used it on carpet (a downside to any puzzle feeder)

Best feeder toy ever!!

This is so amazing I bought TWO! My dog likes eating all her kibble meals from this, and it also provides entertainment and intellectual stimulation. Can be tricky

This is so amazing I bought TWO! My dog likes eating all her kibble meals from this, and it also provides entertainment and intellectual stimulation. Can be tricky to put together sometimes, but it's truly the best. Easy to clean and transport. If you have larger kibble or treats you can cut out a finger. I left them all in as she likes the challenge!

Didn’t work for my dog

The dispenser ends make it too hard to get treat. My Labrador got frustrated and has no interest in it now.

Fun

Lola had a lot of fun with this but her kibble is a little too small to make it a challenge.

Busy buddy kibble ball

The dog loves it but when she unscrews it somehow, it’s very difficult to get the threads meshed to screw back together.
