Starmark Everlasting Treat Bento Ball Tough Dog Chew Toy

I got this thinking that the everlasting treat would be a great way to occupy our high energy dog, which it did, but even without a treat this is hands down our dog’s favorite toy. She loves to bring it to us to wrestle out of her mouth and throw it for her to fetch. I’m amazed at how well it has held up over weeks of chewing and pulling—not a single tear! As far as putting a treat in it, our dog loves to play with it empty but I’ll occasionally put some small treats in the rounded side for her to get out. I don’t love the everlasting treat because she makes a total mess of herself and her bed when she eats it and the mess seems to continue out the other end.

My dog chews up EVERYTHING...walls, her crate, cushions, the stools on the porch, everything. I bought her this ball without super high hopes because so many of the reviews weren't great but I wanted to try it. She has had it for about a year now and plays with it every day! We play tug of war and fetch regularly and she'll just lay around and chew on it. The treat lasted about 20 minutes but the ball gets so much play time. I'm looking to get her one to two more toys from this same brand.

My pup, and any friends' pups that have been around the bento balls, go nuts for this thing. My dog can finish a treat off in less than an hour now. She was slower before - lots of practice at this point. Now, I don't buy the everlasting treats as often, and instead push a meatball-type treat into the bottom hull. It works just as well at keeping my doggie busy but is less expensive.

I have two labs. One male who has a lot of energy and is 8. My other furbaby is a 14 year old female lab and keeps up with the 8 year old!!! The initial toy comes loaded with a treat. Right from the bat they loved it. Once they chew and lick away the round exposed treat first, its more challenging to keep the tipsy round bottom up for them to get the treat! Kept them entertained for 3+ hours! Totally getting more refills on auto ship for when guests come over. Highly recommend!

Treat able to pop in and get pulled out should you need (with hands), not as easy for the pup. I don't let my pup eat the treat entirely in one sitting, but i'll let her play around with the toy. Found that i could toss her some peas to forage for while I sneakily take the treat mound out and could replace the orange part back for her to enjoy. The bottom slits are great to put bully sticks in or jerky treats or carrot slices-anything that can stick out to be enjoyed. Outside texture fun too-i freeze PB on it or sugar free apple sauce an let her go to town if her Kong toy is dirty. The part where the treat mound goes in is also a fun spot to fill as is easier to clean than a Kong (especially Treat able to pop in and get pulled out should you need (with hands), not as easy for the pup.

Great enrichment tool, highly recommend. Got a Large for my middle aged golden and its a great size. So many possibilities for the toy- very fun! … more

My dog (70 lb goldador) was super entertained with this toy. The first night, I took it away from her after about 15 minutes because I wanted it to last. I gave it to her again the next night, and she cracked the plastic, which of course made it easier to get the treat out. I still give it to her, but if I don't want her to consume the whole treat in 2 minutes, I take it from her and stuff it back in (which is a slimy mess). On top of that, she chews it with such gusto her gums start to bleed.

My dogs love this toy and these treats, but the orange toy doesn't hold up particularly well. We have to replace it periodically because through the action of eating the everlasting treat part, they bite and degrade the orange part to the point where pieces fall off. This takes a few months and if you don't have super chewers, probably wont be an issue.

my dog needs lots of attention and exercise being a 55ib puppy. this keeps him busy and entertained while i’m at work. he has a sensitive stomach and this hasn’t effected him badly. on the back side you can put your own treats in but i usually just put some of his kibble. picture shows a week of having it and he is a strong chewer!

I really wanted to be able to love this toy and provide my two dogs with a toy that would keep them occupied. My boy (130lb Pyrenees/hound) tore pieces off both bento balls within two hours of being opened. My girl (45lb shepherd/husky) is more reserved and would be fine on her own, but her brother also helped to “fix” her toy. These would probably be good for a dog who isn’t such an active chewer, but was not a good purchase for my situation.

We've had trouble adjusting our pointer/hound mix puppy to the crate and have tried all kinds of treats, kongs, etc. With this thing, she goes into complete tunnel vision and doesn't even realize she's in the crate while she digs and chews at this thing. I only give it to her for 1-2 hours at a time, and she's still working on the original treat mound. So I bet the full thing would last a solid week of constant chewing. As a side note, this does come with 2 treat balls so you don't have to purchase this PLUS the refills at the same time.
