Starmark Treat Dispensing Pickle Pocket Dog Toy

I first bought a Pickle Pocket on sale at a local store. After the 5-minutes-or-less destruction of what seems like hundreds of toys, I started only purchasing discounted future chew “victims”. I was shocked to discover my 80lb pitty failed to put even a crack in it for over a month! Additionally, it sustained his interest better than other toys he has constant access to (we only allow unsupervised play with the toughest of toys). When he’s especially rambunctious I put peanut butter in and it keeps him occupied for 15 minutes or more. I was pleased to find that Chewy.com carried it at an even better price than the sale price I originally paid at our local store!

We adopted a 3 year old Dobie who has ripped up every plush toy in a matter of minutes and is not interested in rope toys at all. I was on the hunt for a toy that would keep her interested and when visiting another family with a GSD, she would not put his pickle toy down. I immediately added one to my next delivery and it has been a success every day. I put in small treats and kibble both and she will carry it around and play with it for almost an hour to get everything out of the toy. She will continue to play with it and toss it around so we have left if for her to play when we are home. I have not left it unattended yet.

This product caught my attention, something like a Kong, but not Kong?!! So I bought one, and it's super cool material, softer than a Kong. It's awesome for putting peanut butter or canned dog food in it's crevices and freezing. But after the first run of sticking hard treats in it, the edges 'expanded' sort of, and now I cannot fit any treats inside it without them just falling out. Not very durable for that to happen. But it's still usable with wet frozen food and peanut butter, and genuinly my pups fight over it just the same.

I've tried a multitude of different treat toys and they all failed to hold my dogs attention. The pickle keeps him busy for quite a while! I put his supplements in it in the morning then pack it with treats in the afternoon. He chews, licks, carries and drops it for at least an hour if not longer each time I give it too him. If there is still a treat or two in it he will come back to it after a while as well. Occasionally I'll use a roast beef flavored food spray just to entice him even more. I put peanut butter in it as well. This is a bit messy but my dog loved it! My dog is pretty good at tearing up toys if given the chance but, so far, he hasn't made so much as a dent in his pickle I've tried a multitude of different treat toys and they all failed to hold my dogs attention.

You can put this in your dishwasher or a little bit of soap and water will clean this right up. I just wash it with my dishes and put it in the dish rack to dry. If my dog ever does tear up the pickle, I'll be getting another one right away! … more

My dog is an incredibly strong and aggressive chewer. Most toys are broken or torn apart within a day. This one is still holding on after several weeks! He absolutely loves it. I just fill it with his dog food, and let him dig in. Takes him time to get all the food out of the three pockets, so he is stimulated and happy! It has a few cracks in it so I only give it to him while supervising, but most dogs probably wouldn’t be able to crack it. Overall, great but!!

My dog chewed threw a bento ball within minutes...this however is going strong. Do not leave it with your dog to chew on after they have gotten all the treats out of it i think then maybe it could be destroyed. I tried using the special treats made for this and my dog was able to get them out within minutes. I prefer to stuff a bunch of her kibble in it and it keeps her busy for at least an hour and she doesn't get board. My dog is a 75 lbs very aggressive chewer so I am super impressed by how this is holding up. I would recommend this.

I'm on my 5th and 6th pickle (I buy them in twos, for my two boys) in three years and I love them. Aside from Kongs, they are the longest lasting treat against my two heavy chewers. I love them because I can stuff them with LESS calories than what I put into a Kong, and it keeps them busy for a while. My one boy is an expert at getting the treats out in less than a half hour, but he's my heavier chewer and has never completely destroyed a pickle. Over time, with his chewing, there are cracks or splits in the grooves, and that's when I replace them. They have three right now and one of them is about ready to be replaced. I use jerky treats, training treats, peanut butter, cheese, anything I'm on my 5th and 6th pickle (I buy them in twos, for my two boys) in three years and I love them.

I bought this for my standard size golden doodle. She has chewed through many other toys. This toy/treat dispenser makes her really work at getting the treats out. She usually gets them out, but it takes her longer than the other dispensers I've gotten for her. It's a little tough to get the treats in, but that's what makes it hard for her to get them out. Peanut butter is great to smear inside the cracks. This toy will last for a long time.

My dog loves this toy! It keeps him occupied and stands up to his chewing really well (He's a power chewer, pitbull mix). He did end up make little tears in the corners but it doesn't affect the toys ability to hold the treats in and keep him occupied! Our little bundle of dog loves it so much he has started jumping to get it (he only has 3 legs, missing the back one, and isn't a huge fan of jumping)!!

This pickle is a real hit ! The size is very big and the hiding area for treats is deep so the dogs are occupied a bit longer. It is heavy duty and easy to carry even for smaller dogs. Very good value. The price is very good compared to similar items at local pet stores ! I bought this for my two Toy Poodles and for my new English Bulldog Grandog ! They all love it ! Thank you ..
