KONGWobbler - Interactive Dog Toy for Treat Dispensing - Dog Slow Feeder for Healthy Eating - for Medium/Small Dogs

Toys are always hit and miss with pets so I was hoping this was going to be good. It totally was! This was the perfect solution to keeping my busy foster dog occupied and it seems to help his sensitive stomach since he's not gobbling everything down in two seconds.It feels pretty solidly built and stands up to being knocked around a bunch. This dog hasn't tried to chew it yet - he's too busy bouncing and rolling it around the floor! Very happy with my purchase.

My Great Pyrenees / Anatolian Shepard mix loves this thing. We fill it with about half his kibble at each meal. It’s large, heavy and slippery enough that he can’t pick it up (at least not when it’s still new), forcing him to actually bat it around to get kibble out. Eventually he makes enough dents that it is grippable with his teeth but he still has to work hard enough to get the kibble out (although sometimes he does manage to unscrew it). It lasted us about 3.5 months before he had chewed it to the point that it started shedding little plastic shards and we had to get a new one.

Perfect for my Great Dane’s treats and even some of his regular meals. Keeps him busy for quite an impressive amount of time!

This is my third or forth one of these. I've only bought the largest size. Even my smaller dogs used and enjoyed the large one. Overview is that it is great. My dogs learned how it works easily. And it does take a lot of moving it and tipping it to get the food out so it promotes physical activity and takes a lot of time. So it is a slow feeder. It can be noisy as it bumps into walls. My only issue is that the part where the screw threads are get dog food dust and then become hard to unscrew. So when I fill it I wipe off the threads before screwing it together.

*UPDATE: 7 yrs and an additional dog (an Enlish Bull Terrier) later and these things are still going strong! Our Bull Terrier left some minor teeth marks on the toys from when he was younger and teething. But the toys have remained in tact... no dangerous parts broke off. (We've had 2 costly emergency visits to a Veterinary Hospital because my Chihuahuas quickly ate thru other flimsy toys and one ended up with his bowels impacted.)We love these things! And the brand has earned my trust. My dogs would spend hours messing with these things when they were puppies. They quickly learned how to knock the food/treats out. But we just made it harder by breaking up large, hard treats into odd shapes that were difficult to fall out. All three of our dogs are at least 7 yrs old now. They still get excited when we bust these toys out. (We had to buy a third one since they started to fight over who gets to take the next swipe.) It's still fun watching all 3 dogs nudge and swipe these toys across the room, sometime launching them at each other. It's like watching dogs playing hockey, rushing for Easter eggs, and playing roller derby all at once. (Not quite as chaotic or violent as it sounds though.)One of our Chihuahuas turned out to be a bottomless pit who devours his food in less than a minute. He chewed thru all complicated food bowls we tried. And if we make it too hard for him to get to his meals quick enough, he ends up trying to fight with the other dogs for theirs. (Despite his size, the larger dog usually backs down and lets him eat his food... which is about 4-5 times the amount the Chi should be getting.) This toy has helped sooooo much. I can feed all dogs at once and set one of these out with some kibble & an oversized treat inside. Our chunky Chihuahua has decided it's easier to finish his food and start slapping the toy around, rather than fighting with his brothers. This gives the other dogs time to eat their food in peace and at their own pace. I can leave the room and know they're all finished and ready to go outside when I hear them all flinging the one toy around. It's still hilarious to watch after all these years. (Especially since they're all older... I suppose a mix between middle aged and senior in dog years?)Oh, and the rattling noise is hardly bothersome at all anymore. The joy our dogs get out of these toys is worth so much more than a little noise. When we do take notice to the noise, it's because we're more aware of our dogs' routines or it's just a happy sound to hear. I had never really owned multiple dogs at once, so I guess the "noise" seemed way more noticeable in the past for that reason. Also, maybe because I made it too easy for kibbles to go flying about. Despite any amount of noise or teeth marks on the toys, they have never scratched up our various hard floor surfaces.JUST BUY THE KONG TREAT DISPENSING TOY.

So I researched pet toys and discovered the Kong Wobbler.This toy is genius. Basically, you fill it with food/treats, and your dog bats it around until the food/treats fall out from a little hole in the toy. It keeps them busy and intrigued for a while, which keeps them out of trouble.PROS:Durable.Easy to clean.Easy to fill.Keeps dogs busy.Helps build concentration.Great for dogs that tend to eat too fast.Not too noisy.CONSSome rattling noises caused by food swirling around, and the additional noise of the toy skidding across my hard floor. But it definitely beats the annoying noise of a squeaky toy.*I want to add that the toy is a little big for my 4 month Chihuahua puppies. One puppy is slightly intimidated by the toy, likely because of its size, but he's been staring at it and circling it non-stop since he saw the other puppy using another one. I think he'll grow into it in a few more weeks though.I bought two of the Wobblers. I've only had them out for half an hr, but my puppies have not left them alone. It took about 10 min for one of the puppies to figure out how to use it. Because he's so small, he has to really pounce on it to get it to wobble good enough to spill out some treats.

I have a dog who suffers from anxiety and hyperactivity. This product gives her an outlet and provides treats as well! Glad our behaviorist recommended it.
