Highlighted Reviews
"This treat ball is a perfect toy for our coon hound that usually destroys any other toy we give her. It’s made of a very thick textured rubber material that can withstand her chewing or pouncing on it to try and get to the treats."
"After the first use, the two halves of the ball no longer stay together to dispense treats. My dogs now just have two halves of a ball. Disappointed."
Bottom Line
Use this toy on small dogs who have low/no aggression by carefully monitoring treats usage and conduct to prevent improper assembly and trouble. It might not last for bigger dogs because of its efficiency and assembly issues.
