"This is PERFECT. It took him a few minutes to figure out how to get the treats out as it isn’t like his regular rolling treat dispenser. After a few barks at it and some guidance, he figured it out and now LOVES IT. He will play with it after the treats are gone too but we take it away once it’s..."

"The design is clever, but even with supervision these toys lasted exactly two rounds with my 60-lb hound mix."

Bottom Line

While the Atomic Treat Ball can provide enjoyment and mental stimulation for dogs, the durability concerns and quality issues make it a less reliable purchase, especially for owners of aggressive chewers or larger dogs.
