"We have had people over to watch Zoe do this game. She had trouble with the sliders at first but after playing about ten times over a few weeks she's down to 45 seconds with her nose, then she gets mad and bats it around with her paws because there are no more treats."

— Terri

"This toy is junk. The space for the treat is too shallow, therefore making very hard to get out."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a interactive toy that can distract your dog for short periods but aren't worried about long term use, this might be okay. However, for long-term use or for dogs that are intense chewers, it might be best to look for a more durable alternative.
