Starmark Treat Dispensing Chew Ball Dog Toy

I have a 3 year old pit bull who just has oodles of energy! I cut down the opening so her food slips out easily. I see a lot of reviews that make me think they want their dogs to chew the ball to get the food out? I have my dog roll it with her nose to get the food out! She has a blast! I had to teach her how to roll it at first but she caught on quickly and now I give this to her when she needs stimulation. It has a pleasant smell, it smells somewhat like rubber mixed with vanilla. I don’t mind the smell, and my roommates don’t notice it either.

I've purchased the large ball as well and have no issues with it thus far, I purchased this medium ball for my smaller pup and she had it ripped in pieces in the first seconds of latching on to it. Considering the Medium cost more than the Large (not sure why it would-also it's more the size I'd expect for a Small), I would of expected it to be just as durable and not be destroyed immediately.

We have a 2 year old lab. He is a very aggressive chewer. He has had this for a couple of weeks, and it is still intact. We use it every day, and he has so much fun. It is easy to cut the tabs to customize the toy to fit your treats. You could even have two different sizes as there are customizeable holes on two ends. Definitely worth the mondy

My puppy loves this. It keeps him distracted and entertained for a good bit. It was a complete lifesaver when he was younger and wanted to chew everything in sight. It’s pretty durable also. I’ve had it for about 3 months and it’s still in great shape. I ordered the large size.

I did not expect the ball to be rubber and as malleable as it is. I was planning to use it to put my dog's food in so she would be distracted and have to work for her food. I've ended up using it with her tuna fudge treats that I can cut to a specific size so that it's difficult and challenging to get them out but not impossible.

Our Dachshund tore this up after just 24 hours. He loved it while it lasted, though. First he chewed the little prongs off that keep the food in the ball, then he just chewed in to the ball. The rubber is too pliable. We also purchased a med/large ball for our larger dachshund, and that one held up better (so far). It’s a thicker, tougher rubber. I would consider purchasing an additional med/large ball for our smaller dog, even though his mouth is smaller. In all fairness, our dogs are aggressive chewers and we haven’t found anything yet that will keep them busy for at least 30 min, without being torn up.

My dog loves this toy. He is a rescue and we got him a month ago. He will carry it around and just chew it. He's 2 and about 80lbs so it's the large size. He doesn't even care if it has treats in it. We play fetch with it as well.

Our dog loves his puzzle ball but the clear plastic one with the puzzle you can see are so noisy and ours cracked so it randomly pops open. This is an ok option, but its definitely not as challenging as the puzzle one. This one is a really sturdy rubbery material though which is awesome because it’s NOT noisy and it is bouncy which is sort of fun! Just know they’ll get the treats a little quicker with this one.

The general design seems good. I have to agree with what others have said about the size of the holes where the food comes out. The food has to be an exact size. Our food barely does not fit - can get it in, but not out. If the plastic is trimmed, the hole will be too large. I will hunt for different sized food to see if they will be usable. (We have 2.)

Holy guacamole, this toy makes my life so much easier. My 1.5 yr old cattle dog/lab mutt needs a lot of stimulation. For those times when I just can't get outside with her immediately, this thing keeps her occupied for a good 30-45 mins, depending on how much kibble I put in there. Getting the pieces of food in there is literally the only downside I've found. I kept the small projections at the opening long, which makes it tricky to get kibbles in, but also keeps the difficulty up for my dog! That's a price I'm definitely willing to pay.
