Starmark Treat Dispensing Bob-a-Lot Dog Toy

Since we brought him home at 8 weeks my puppy hated his food. I was doing a ridiculous song and dance, adding all kinds of different toppers and using various kinds of bowls but nothing helped and he wasn't growing as fast as he was supposed to. With this toy he eats all of his food as-is, no toppers or additives, and loves it! He's growing now at the rate that he is supposed to and it's such a relief. He has tons of fun pushing this thing around the house and gets so excited when I bring it out. I bought the large, which holds about a cup of food, and it takes him 2-3 hours of on and off efforts to finish it. Love this thing and I recommend it to everyone!

Our puppy was afraid of this at first (the noise kibble made in it) but has quickly learned that this is a treat-dispensing ball of fun. She absolutely loves it and it's a blast to watch her pounce on it and bark at it. It really entertains her and us. It is very easy to adjust the holes in two places (inside the 'stem' and on the side of the ball) so that you control how much comes out and how fast. To start, you open them wide so the puppy is confident and learns how the toy works. Then once they are hooked, you can close them up a bit to make it more of a challenge and keep them entertained longer. We love it!

This is by far my Labrador Retriever's favorite toy! It provides some fun any day, any time indoors or outside. Perfect for a rainy or snowy day when stuck inside to feed your dog slowly and stimulate them. Great boredom buster and very durable also. Dog food fits nicely inside and spills out when he carries or nudges the wobble toy. Instant reward! He will carry it to me when empty and nudge me with it to refill. Made in the USA also. Wish this company made a sturdy puzzle for large dogs to stimulate also. I have this size (large) perfect for larger dog but they make a little one too. Sure my dog would enjoy either size but I only purchased the large.

Seems like lots of folks can't figure out how to fit kibble into this toy, or how to give it a good cleaning. The top yellow part is removable. Underneath that are the rotating parts that let you adjust the size of the opening for different food/treat sizes. That part is also removable, although but not as easily. You can then more easily clean and dry the toy.

We've had this for about 2 months now and my puppy STILL loves getting treats out of it. He's a 9 month old working terrier and it's lasted well. He has really good self-play time with it. It's simple but well designed. There is also a slider on the treat dispenser where you can adjust difficulty. I'd definitely buy this again.

This treat dispenser is almost perfect. It definitely slows down my dog's eating and is pretty entertaining to watch. But the hole in the top to put the treats/kibble in is so small! It takes me forever to put a cup of his food in. Also the toy is pretty loud and my dog bonks it into everything below knee level while trying to get the treats out. This isn't a problem for me but if you have anything fragile and low to the ground in your house beware. Other than that my dog loves it and will now spend ten whole minutes eating dinner instead of 30 seconds!

One of our dogs absolutely loves this! He goes into maniac mode, rolling it through the house - if it gets stuck anywhere, we can hear him banging it against the wall! It’s so cute to watch him! It keeps him entertained for a long period of time. It’s a great low-impact activity; this toy allows our dog to move and chase and use his brain, without rough playing or running. We ended up buying another one! Our other dog would try to playfully steal it from him! But our 2nd dog is lazy and doesn’t like working for her treats, so I make it a bonding enrichment game to play with her by pushing it with her. She has to chase it a bit, and then pushes it back to me. Definitely recommend!

We ordered the larger size since so many toys come tiny. My dog is 30 pounds and cannot pick this up. She uses the ribbon that is attached but that has since been riped so we are trying to figure out another option to help her pick it up and move it. She LOVES the treats coming out and it keeps her busy for awhile just using kibble.

We have a wild rescue puppy who can chew up Kongs. We tried a feeding ball which is awesome, but he rolls it all over the house, Every time I have to feed him, I spend a half hour looking for it, only to find it stuck in some corner. (We also tried a bottle toy feeder which is terrible for several reasons). Bob-A-Lot is great because it has the same challenge and appeal of the feeding ball, stays in the same general area (bobbing). A fantastic feature is that you can adjust the size of the dispensing hole to make it more challenging. He has fun and it keeps him busy and happy for quite a while.

My dog loved this toy, after putting his food in it twice I decided it should probably be cleaned. There were crumbs all throughout this inside, and he gets very excited and slobbers a lot when trying to get to foods. A used dawn dish soap and hot water but it was impossible to get the inside dry. Because of this, mold grew inside despite keeping it open on my drying rack for several hours. I tried cleaning it out again but it still smells and I’m nervous to give it back to my pup. I love the idea of the toy but I wish it came apart so it could be cleaned more effectively.
