"This toy has a fine idea that is not realized very well. The ball is not attached to the base, so all the dog has to do is knock it off the base and roll it around to get the treats out. If it somehow stayed attached, it would be a much better toy, as the dog would have to be more precise lining up ..."

Bottom Line

This toy is not recommended in its current form. It has excellent potential but needs significant design overhaul to function as intended and be enjoyable for dogs and owners.
