PetSafeBusy Buddy Twist 'n Treat Dispensing Dog Toy - Large

We have two Border Aussies - one is 12 years old and the other one is three months old. We had a few treat dispensers the older one loved playing with, but the puppy wasn’t strong or big enough to handle yet.So, I purchased this toy in hopes of getting our puppy the treat dispensing experience - a little more her size. It’s very soft, chewable (yet chew proof), rubbery material, yet, it’s tough and durable.Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans… So, as it turns out, the older Aussie loves this toy. She is also the only one strong enough to bend it in such a manner to get the treats out.However, that does not deter the puppy one single bit. Our puppy never gives up! And I do mean, never!!They take turns chewing on it, and running with it. When one of them drops it for a second and gets distracted, the other one picks it up and takes off. It’s become a highly entertaining toy at our house.What I love about this toy is the versatility. Both senior dog and puppy absolutely love it. You can roll it, you can toss it, you can spin it. They play with anytime they get a chance.I’ve put treats inside, peanut butter, and most the time it’s just regular old dog food. I don’t think they care what I fill it with, as long as they are rewarded somehow for their determination.It is so small that sometimes it will get lodged beneath the piece of furniture or the couch, and I’ll have to go hunting for it to fill it for them.When they’re done playing with it, and I find it lying in a lonely corner. I pick it up and put it on the counter until the next time I notice they need a distraction. This keeps it interesting and fresh for them, and makes it easy for me to find to fill.It’s so affordable, and it’s been such a fun addition to doggy playtime at our house. I hope it works out just as well for you and your furry friend!

I've gotten this for 4 separate dogs now with different shapes, sizes, and energy drive levels, but they all loved this toy feeder! The toy material construction is pretty solid but not so much that I worry about a cracked tooth or so flimsy that it would crack after a few uses. Putting it together, adjusting the difficulty, and cleaning after use is simple once your pup decides that you can have it back. For sure a great fun enrichment activity especially at the price point.

My dog eats very fast. I bought this in hopes to slow him down. It does work and keeps him busy but I wish I would have purchased a larger one because not much food fits in it. If you want it to fill with treats, I think it would be a good purchase.

This worked good for a few days. I would put the treats in there and tighten it up. My dog would play with it and get the toy open to get all the treats. The issue is this is softer rubber so my.dog started chewing off chunks and I had to throw it out.

We had one of these years ago and our beagle loved it. We recently got the large size and it is working well. I can get almost 3/4 cup puppy kibble in it. If I close it up so the openings do NOT line up the kibble comes out at a slow pace. But not too slow to make our 14 week old lab puppy lose interest. If the side openings are aligned, puppy kibble is way too small and will come out all at once.

This smelled so much that after I washed it and placed it on the counter - it smelled up my kitchen. I washed it again and soaked it in water for hours - it still smelled. It has been sitting outside on the patio for days and although the perfume-like fragrance is not noticeable- it smells like something else - I don’t know what. I think I will end up just throwing this away - it may be the quality of the rubber that is causing the problem. I have purchased a number of rubber dog toys before and never had any problems with them.

Update January 2019: I've had the size Large one for months now. My dog is still into it when I fill it up for him. Still kind of a pain to fill, but he'll stick with it until its empty (unlike some of his other toys, even ones he's figured out). I have since introduced my dog to my boyfriend's dog, and they basically spend all their time together, including meals. So I now got a size small (my dog is 60 pounds, his dog is 15). His dog also isn't the brightest (I call them Dumb and Dumber, or Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumber, but trust me, it's loving. I adore them). But she is also motivated enough to use this toy. I have also since moved and gotten a dishwasher and haven't had any issue washing them occasionally in the dishwasher. I try to save that for every few washes though, and usually just rinse and set to dry between daily uses.My dog love this. He's way more engaged when he gets his breakfast kibble in this toy instead of in a bowl. He uses his nose to nudge it around the living room and eats the kibble as it dispenses. He's not the fastest eater, but this makes his breakfast last even longer, which is good.My dog also is not mentally gifted. In fact, he's kind of dumb. He's totally loveable, but he's just not so smart. And while he is food motivated, if he can't figure something out relatively easily, he'll give up, despite me trying to help him. I can't get really tricky puzzles, he'll just give up. What I like about this is that I could start it really easy, with the two halves fairly far apart so that each move produced a lot of kibble and he got rewarded quickly. Over time I closed the gap so that now I can screw it all the way shut leaving only two holes where the kibble can get out. He still loves it even though it takes him much longer than when we first started using this toy.He now has a very positive association with this toy and is always excited in the morning when I pull it out to use for breakfast. He's a power chewer so I don't leave it with him after breakfast (just in case) and so far it's holding up really well. I just wash by hand and dry in a dish rack each morning after breakfast. I don't have a dishwasher anyway, so no idea if it's dishwasher safe.

Funciona para los perros ansiosos que quieren comer todo el tiempo. Aprenden a usarlo y se puede cambiar la dificultad

Bought this toy to replace the same one that we lost, it's small enough to take out with us when we go anywhere filled with treats as a distraction for our dog,so we can have 5 minutes to ourselves while our dog is playing,great toy,

I bought this for my sisters Minature Dachshund puppy, when they stayed with us this Christmas. It was a hit with her and the puppy.It has good bounce, is easy to open, super easy to adjust the opening to dispense treats or kibble and clean up was a breeze. The dogs had a blast playing with it.I love these treat dispensing toys. I use them as feeders, especially when there's more than one dog in the house with different diets and speeds of eating. You just set them down in front of the right dog and away they go until it's empty. It's fun to see them figure out how best to get the food out, and how to get the toy out of corners it is inevitability going to get stuck in. So much fun!It's also great way to get a senior dog to exercise, or just enrichment for any age of dog. Its helpful with seperation anxiety as well. You could put a combination of wet and dry treats like a kong, but much easier to clean because you can open it.I also like these better than snuffle mats. I always worry about snuffle mats and that the dog might eat a part of the mat or something like that and just general hygiene.This one is great for small dogs and seems very durable. It's made out of a tough rubber (outer) and a durable, easy to use, plastic internal screw holds the two pieces together. You just screw it together until you get the desired opening size for the treat or food. It works even with small breed, very tiny kibble.I highly recommend this item, seems like it will last for years and was even a fun toy empty.(If you have a larger dog this one is fantastic https://www.amazon.ca/PetSafe-Kibble-Nibble-Feeder-Medium/dp/B005BOMPWG/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=ox_sc_saved_image_6&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&th=1 , we've been using the small size for three years with my miniature dachshund (and the medium-large I bought as a gift for a lab), and even the new puppy loved it despite the larger size. It holds way more, so is good for full meals and regular sized kibble and comes in two sizes, suitable for small adult to large breed.)If you found this review at all helpful please say so, thank you.

ポロポロと餌が出てくるので早食いの防止にも効果ありです。中型犬ですが今までSサイズを2個使い続けていました。ひとつがダメになったので買い足そうと探したらMサイズがあったので購入しました。届いたら思ったよりも大きくてびっくりしました。小型犬には大きすぎると思いますが中型犬以上なら大丈夫だと思います。その分沢山のフードを入れる事ができて楽になりました。

My dog loves this with peanut butter. Great for dogs that need distraction or calming. This is our 3rd one for our dog who is 5 years old.
