Starmark Treat Dispensing Chew Ball Dog Toy

I bought this for my 9 month old German Shepherd who makes it his personal mission to chew everything. Until this ball, the only type of ball that could withstand his chewing was a regulation tennis ball. This ball is durable and super bouncy. He bites down as hard as he wants and it doesn't lose shape and doesn't have any teeth marks in the 2 weeks we've had it. He still has his other toys (plush, tennis balls, and classic Kong), but this is the one that gets him the most excited and holds his attention the longest.

I have an 11 year old Boston Terrier. I wanted to find something she'd not only play with, but make her work a bit to get her treats. She LOVES this!! It didn't take her but a few minutes to figure out how to play with it for the rewards. She now brings this to me every night after her supper for her evening playtime/treats. She is a enthusiastic chewer, but I do not see her tearing this up. We are getting a puppy in a few weeks--so ordering another because I am sure the older dog is not going to part with hers, or share!

My dog is the chewer of all chewers! When I first got him, I tried sooo many toys. Every. Single. One. was demolished within a few moments aside from his one Kong. Then I found Starmark- first his “pickle ball” and now this. It’s perfect! I put his regular food in it before I walk out the door, and he’s happy and busy! This doesn’t break.

This had great reviews so I bought it, but it arrived very oily and has a strong vanilla smell. Even my dog only tried for a little bit to get the treat out and then just left it. Very unlike her, she’s very tenacious normally! Today she is nauseated, hopefully not from whatever is on the outside coating. I’ve washed it pretty well, and still the same. I do not recommend this ball unfortunately. I’ll be looking at some others to keep her busy from Chewy. Thanks

My dog loves this ball. I had a hard time getting treats into it at first, but, then I reliezed how to do it. First look at the open ends of the ball and you will see little green balls at the ends of the inside corners, cut them off. But don't cut "all" of them off. I did that and the treats come out too fast. But my dog loves it. The only problem I have is he has taken it outside and if I want to put treats in it I have to go outside and hunt it down. But my dog loves to play with it, he throws it into the air and chases it down. It if made of good quality material and I don't think he can tear this one up. Also the Milk Bone Trail Mix fits into the ends very well. Have fun.

It rolls around well and does its job right. It just has a horrible smell, so it's been outside to hopefully air out. Aside from this, there hasn't really been a problem. My dog has moved it around a couple times, which is great since he doesn't play with toys. If the smell goes away, then it would be 5 stars.

This ball is a godsend in my house. I got it for my dog who was visibly bored even after going for walks and playing. She’s just very high energy sometimes. This ball is perfect because she is eating and mentally stimulated. When people are in our house or if she’s jumping around trying to get attention, I give her this ball. She’s happy to see it, and I’m happy to see her excited about it!

A great idea, however my GS is just not in to it. He has a great sense of smell obviously, but does not want or care to take the time to grab the treats inside. We are looking for an independent toy and this was just not it. We’ll keep trying. As far as the product, durable (and he is a chewer), great concept for those dogs who are eager to get their treat!

My 1.5 y/o Pointer mix is incredibly finicky, and generally only eats one meal a day, if even that at times. He is rather muscular and thin, looking underweight even. Since I've been using this ball to feed him his meals, he is much more likely to eat all (or most) of his food! He seems to love the squishy texture, and more than other treat toys it seems to sooth his boredom when he's in his crate while I'm at work. Highly recommend for work driven dogs. Only complaint is how difficult it is to insert kibble, you basically need to put in 2-3 pieces at a time.

I was hesistant to buy this at first because my dog is a super destroyer. I have a pit mix and she destroys even the “durable” or “chewproof” dog toys. But we wanted something interactive so ordered it. I was surprised at the material when I got it- it’s like a firm gel like substance. But this has kept her so entertained and she hasn’t even scuffed it yet after hours of play!! We just put in small treats that we already had, and she pounces and bats it around to get them out. She’s about 55-60 lbs and has a larger jaw so we got the large and it’s perfect! She can’t quite get her mouth all the way around it so that’s helping it not get chewed up. I highly highly recommend!!
