Highlighted Reviews

β€” Nina

"Trixie very nice treat dispenser has three ropes which slide in and out making a dog get some clues."

β€” McKenzie

"The toy lasted 5 minutes and provided enjoyment of a different kind to biting it from a cat which wants to chew it like a small rawhide. The toy overall when put together and used was like putting gum back in it's gummed up state whereas the new one lacks gum in comparison to the second one."

Bottom Line

The TRIXIE Gambling Tower is a good but not exceptional solution for dogs that might enjoy eating food from an interactive feathered toy which might be a challenge to find. That being said, it may not be worth the price you pay in terms of quality.
