Quick Verdict

This treat ball is generally not recommended due to its poor durability, leaving pet owners disappointed.

Pets are quickly able to chew through the material, and several difficulties arise in the quick breakdown and ingestion possibilities.

"I bought both sizes, one for my Morkie and a large one for my German Shepherd. I have to admit, wasn't sure this would keep their attention! It does and works great and is holding up against all of their continued use. It keeps them occupied until they get all of the treats out or they are tired. Lo..."

"This toy was destroyed in approx. 10 minutes by one dog. I am glad I was home and was able to get the material away from my dog before she ate it. The fabric was in threads that could have done serious harm."

Bottom Line

The durable treat-based design does not survive for extended periods and breaks down rather easily. Our recommendation is negative, except for use with smaller or non-strong chewers, possibly consuming treats more thoroughly with no designs to ingest smaller fragments.
