Highlighted Reviews
"My dog has been obsessed with this ball since we got it. It's on the small side and the treat dispensing is just a hole in the middle. So we just use it as a fetch ball. It gets slobbery but the holes give you an easy way to pick it up without getting your hand slobbery too."
"Everything sticks to it, from the floor, ect."
Bottom Line
For small dogs, this toy is acceptable as a fetch toy. However, for medium to large dogs or as a treat dispenser, there are better and more durable options available.
