“Our lab puppy would inhale his food and then be looking for more. Using this to feed him means feeding last longer, he is stimulated and loves chasing it round.”
“Do you have a smart dog? A food motivated dog? A chewy dog? A bored dog?
Behold! a great solution for about 30 minutes of dog-entertainment (Then fill and repeat. No judgement, maybe you are in the middle of a gripping novel).
First things first, the cons: It is expensive. If your dog is Border Collie/Lab Sized+, OR an experienced chewer I would suggest getting the large. It will be more difficult for them to get their jaws around it for active chewing. Keep the lid tightly screwed on though, a dog could definitely chew the separate pieces if they detach.
Secondly, it is going to be loud if you have a hardwood or tile floor; large dogs can, and will, pick it up. (I got around this by blocking my dog into the one room that had soft flooring. Grass also works well).
**The Pros** Firstly, It's not messy or stinky! I have given my dog so many toys that he has to take outside because of the smell. This one (depending on the treat of choice of course) is easily washable and doesn't hold any odour.
Secondly, It has great replay value, and is durable. Björn is a strong chewer and he has yet to do any damage to this toy beyond superficial scaring.
Lastly, My dog loves this thing more than any other toy he currently has. I can break treats up to reasonable sizes and he will happily scrabble at it and wobble it around for ages as long as it has a smidgen of treat left. It makes him happy by working his brain, and you can't really go wrong with that. Good job Kong, A+!”
“While our first large dog loved it to bits to the point where he would stash it away, our pug pup couldn't figure it out no matter how hard we tried. It's not suitable for smaller puppies in my opinion, especially those with short snouts.”
“This was one of THE BEST things I've bought for our dog in ages. It's so easy to use and clean and it's a good size so she can't take it away and hide it. She's having so much fun while eating her breakfast/dinner she doesn't realise she'e getting a bit of exercise while she eats. Our puppy is a is a 13 month old Foxie cross and is always looking for something new to amuse her. This was the perfect thing. she scoots it all across the patio or around the inside of the house knocking it around then looks up and absolutely stoked every time the food falls out! It's as if to say, Wow!! Look what I can do!""”
“My BC instantly fell in love with this and was chasing and nudging it around for a good while, I had put a cup of his dried kibble in there. Nice slow mealtime!”
“Our red nose pit bull cross just loves this. It keeps him stimulated and he loves the entertainment value, especially if he has a meal, in the wobbler. Didn't take him long to work out how to use. Would be fantastic for a dog the gobbles their food down.”
