Highlighted Reviews
"Bubba loves this treat toy. I like it because it's easy to load and keeps him occupied. He continues to play with it long after it's empty."
"Gave this to my red heeler mix and in under 5 minutes, she destroyed it. With her normal Kong, she stops once the treats are out. This toy she did not. Glad I was home or she could have choked on the pieces. Use with extreme caution."
Bottom Line
Consider this toy carefully. It’s entertaining but poses a risk to aggressive chewers.
