Highlighted Reviews

— Aly

"My two little guys love these treat dispensers. They aren’t crazy chewers - they more so push it around to get the treats out so they’ve lasted us awhile."

— Janine

"This toy is supposed to keep her engaged and active, but she got the top of within 6 minutes and gordged on the treats inside. It's cute and I guess it would be a great toy for tiny toy & teacup dogs with tiny teeth, but it's absolutely useless for my dog. And it's all chewed up so I can return it."

Bottom Line

If your pet is a gentle chewer and you're looking for a fun way to dispense treats, this could be a good choice. If your pet chews through toys quickly, consider a more durable option.
