Every dog plays differently and, since not all toys are created equal, it’s always best to keep a close watch on your pup in case things get ruff. Supervised play will help toys last longer and most importantly keep your pal safe. No dog toy is truly indestructible, so always remove the toy from playtime if pieces begin to break off.
Use with kibble, small treats, or Interlocking Treats. Dishwasher safe, top rack.

I was hopeful for this one. I was grateful for the video they included on how to easily fill it will a 2 liter cut in half. However there is such an overbearing chemical smell that made me hesitant. Then I realized there was a thick grease residue on the inside. I soaked it in hot water and dawn for a day. It did nothing. Then I put baking soda on the inside and added vinegar and let it sit for another day. It did nothing. Last ditch effort was to soak in rubbing alcohol for a few days. It barely helped. The residue was still inside and the smell was still there. Although now it isn’t so strong that it makes my eyes water. I’m hoping with some time it goes away but she won’t be using this one until then sadly
This ball holds kibble dog food and my Lab, who destroys most indestructible/heavy chewer toys, plays with this, figured out how to get food out of it and is entertained for at least an hour. I highly recommend this item for all dogs, and approve it for my tough chewer. He also loves to play fetch with it. Great purchase!
My beagle has a "fussy" period before dinner. She knows it's getting close to dinner time and will continue to bark and whine! It's very difficult to work while she's doing this. I bought this ball and filled it with 3 small treats and it occupies her. She loves it! And she is a big time chewer and it continues to hold up!
My boy can destroy any toy in minutes it seems. But this ball had lasted over a year. To be honest I do not put treats in it but he does sit and chew on it. He has a red one and a green one. Only had to replace the green one once because he likes to put them in the trash can so we threw one out accidentally.
I have bought my share of treat balls and these are the most durable, easiest to fill balls I’ve ever used. An added bonus? They smell pretty good too, not like slobber! :)
We got this for our foster dog to give him some much needed stimulation. Took him a couple days to figure it out; he got there eventually and loves it. Filling it is quite tedious (I tried a funnel for spices that didn't really work) but that's fine, it's still worth it.
I purchased this same ball at a pet store 2 years ago and loved it. It lasted 2 years and my dog still plays with it but after 2 years he has worked the prongs off the center holes so treats come out easily. The ball is still soft and easy for him to pick up. Because this product worked so well, I decided to buy a new one that would hold treats again. Unfortunately the new ball is a more firm material than the last one. It is also a bit smaller. After using for only 10 weeks, the ball has split down the center seam allowing treats and food to spill out. Very disappointing. I am hoping this is an isolated case, the first one was great.
Big waste of money on this one. The chemical smell was SO strong...I can't imagine giving it too my dog. Throwing this away for fear of getting my pup sick. Just awful.
Kept my pups busy for quite awhile! I load it with some broken jerky treats and they work on bouncing and squeezing the treats out. Highly entertaining and they roll, which adds to the fun :)
My heeler/terrier mix is relentless when it comes to snacks stuffed in toys, but after two weeks, she still has not put a rip or tear in this ball. Small kibble rolls right out, but slightly larger treats keep her at it for 30+ minutes (it's not impossible, but definitely challenging) and it tires her out! It's soft and pliable, and large enough so it doesn't roll under most furniture. She loves it!
