"Keeps our pup busy and away from the table during our dinner time... Love the immediate gratification of chewing off the outer shell then a little extra time with the prongs that drop in! Love it"

— Donald

"Disappointed! These do not fit snugly in the Kong. The only way to do so is add peanut butter or cheese, insert then place in freezer. Had high hopes for this product. Should’ve read the reviews before purchasing."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a long-lasting treat to keep your dog entertained, there are likely better options available. It could be suitable for dogs that are fast eaters, but overall, the mixed results and common issues make this a less reliable choice.
