Not recommended for dogs that are smart or that like to chew. Our rescue pup figured out (very quickly) how to open the door on the outside of the toy all the way to get the treats out. So we started just placing the treats in the top part of the toy and closed the opening on the inside half way so it would take her longer to get the treats out. She just chewed the top off within a few minutes to get to the treats faster.. I will admit Layla is a strong chewer but never thought she could do this type of damage to a large toy in a short time

I bought this for my food driven labrador. He uses it well and it has met my expectations to slow his eating and occupy his time rather than having him expect more. It is a bit noisy on the hard floor and it will bounce against surfaces near the floor. So make sure there isn't something fragile in a possible pathway. This works and I'd recommend for any dog that works for food. It may be an aid to help with anxiety or high energy dogs that are stuck inside.

This took my Labradoodle about 5 minutes to figure out and it's really nice to use when I need to leave the house at meal time. I put his food in and know it will keep him busy for at least 30 minutes. It's fun to watch him use - he never seems to get tired of it. The opening is smaller so the food doesn't just pour out so the kibble probably needs to be either small or flat. I feed him Acana and the flat pellets work really well (I think they're a little over 1/2 inch diameter and 1/4 inch thick). Our dog doesn't really inhale his food, but this would be great for dogs that do.

Our 16mo lab mix loves this toy. She took a day or two to figure it out, but then became obsessed with it. We turned our backs for less than a 2 minutes and she chewed the yellow cap to bits. So much for an expensive toy. It lasted about an hour of use. My recommendation is to make the toy more in the shape of a true ball... nothing to latch the teeth onto, or too big to get the jaws wrapped around.

My dog Lucy loves puzzle toys. She has quite the little collection. The Bob-a-lot is one of her all time favorites. She likes to paw things so this one is very entertaining for her. The small size was perfect for her being a 12 pound small poodle. I like that its durable, easy to fill, easy to wash, and has an option to increase the difficulty for the dog.

Have a Cockapoo that destroys even the strongest toys, and this one has stood up to her and she loves it!!! Keeps her going for at least a half hour... Put one or two in, open the windows all the way up, to let them know how to get the treats, the slide them to make it a lot more difficult and they will fight with it for a long time...

My vet told me to purchase toys that stimulate my puppy mentally as well as ones that stimulate him physically. This toy does the trick! I put half of his meal in it and he LOVES it! He plays, then naps like a champ. He is an active Golden Retriever puppy and we are just trying to get through this very early puppy time.

We tried a few treat dispensing toys. This was the only one that held the treats in well enough so they didn’t fall out super easily. We have a German Shepherd and wanted to stimulate him mentally and keep him busy. This toy did just that! I will say though that if you have hard floors it does make loud annoying sounds when it’s being rolled on them. I will also suggest not using it all the time because after awhile they will lose interest. We use it a couple times a week and have had it for over 6 months. He still loves it!

My 10 month old golden/pit mix, Bode, loved this toy. But he's a big chewer and started to gnaw on the yellow top once the treats were gone. I got worried because the top began to shred bits of plastic. Fun while the treats last but I will take it away from him when it's empty. Wish the toy was sturdier.

My dog took to this right away. He likes the bobbing motion and the shape of this. The plastic is thick and has a slight texture so it's not too bad on hard flooring. I like that I can adjust the difficulty and that the treat dispenser is near the bottom so you can start out with the treats almost falling out by themselves. Sometimes I have to use a utensil to open and close the adjuster piece, but that's not an issue.
