Outward Houndby Planet Dog Guru Treat-Dispensing Puzzle Ball Dog Toy, Blue

The media could not be loaded.  So far I'm loving this toy, and whats more so is my dog 🐕. He has been working on it for over an hour, there are still treats in it, and it is still all in one piece. Hopefully it holds up. I will update if anything changes.

Have been using for years. The minature poodle carries it all over the house by the hole in it and the standard poodle bounces it till all the treats come out. I don't use as a feeder. I get mother hubbard large treats and cut in half and put both halves in each ball. This is their entertainment when I have to go to work. I work the treats down to the bottom. The inner maize will become loose over time making it easier for the treats to fall out but at that point, I move it around by hand through the hole to make it more difficult. about every 6 - 8 months, I order two new one as it becomes too easy, which is not bad considering we don't miss a day of the week without puzzle ball.I tried the harder plastic ball that dispenses food size kibble - they are not at all interested and frankly I would never serve a dog a meal like that. Makes me sad as I would not like my meal served one morsel at a time? Now a treat is a different story:)

I rescue Dobermans, and this is by far the favorite toy of any Dobe I’ve had. Yes, I do have to replace it yearly—no toy worth chewing is going to last forever. Though, for a years’ worth if fun, I think the price is right. Personally, I stuff it with more than kibble. I stuff it to the gills with apple slices, sweet potato chunks, banana —basically anything edible that will fit.It’s to the point where, My dog will throw the ball at me in disgust if he finds it empty.

Our dog is a border collie corgi... an obsessive chew and treat addict.I pop a few treats in this, and watch him work them out.. fun to watch.I do take it away when he has it empty and do not leave him alone with it.. since I have no doubt he would chew it to bits.The outside is a soft rubbery material (so kind to floors and objects when rolled around) but also easy for the pup to pick up and take over to a favorite snack area in the room..Treats.. you do not have to use any specific treats, anything that fits through the hole & can get around the maze works great..-wag more soft & chewy treats are great the are a nice size for the maze (the minis are too tiny)..- breaking up freeze dried liver treats or milk bones etc can work great too... so lots of options.I love watching him roll it a little then sniff the path to see if any came out..

Beagle loves this. She learned very quickly how to "kick" it to get the treats out and understands when it's empty, there is no more clinking sound that the treats make when it has some left. It keeps her occupied for about 15 minutes. Needs to be wiped down after every use or the dust and hair from the floor collects on it.

I wish there was a way to alter/determine how easily the treats dispense when throwing the ball but my puppy loves it regardless. It’s easy to toss around the yard and has a great bounce so not only does it catch their attention, once they get to it they can’t get over the smell of hidden treats inside. I will say I think my 10 week old husky had learned to decipher when’s there is or isn’t treats inside.

I got this toy for Charlotte, my boyfriend's dog, who looooooves treats and chasing balls. She usually destroys her tennis balls and stuffies, but didn't destroy this one (like other reviewers said their dogs did). She's very involved when she plays with this ball, because she's trying to figure out how the pieces fall through and work together. She caught on very quickly about how to go about getting the treats out. I love this toy and all other Planet Dog products!I have a Planet Dog harness for my own doggie (super comfy and soft) and a strawberry toy with a treat spot. Both are well made items!FYI Charlotte is a Lab/Staffordshire/Boston Terrier mix who's about 40-45 pounds.

My destructo dog LOVES this toy! We slide treats into it and she is occupied for some time. She will carry it around with her! Her massive jaws have yet to damage this and we have had this toy for months! We like it so much, I ordered 2 more! Works great for your big chewers!

If your dog likes to chew toys then this is not suitable unless you keep a watch on them using it - it’s rubbery and wouldn’t last. My dog had one for years and I only replaced it because I put it in the dishwasher and it went out of shape. It has a weird sticky feel to it and picks up every bit of fluff going while it’s rolling around. A great interactive treat dispenser. Would definitely recommend.

Paid a fair price for this itemArrived in this state, clearly had been used already. It’s supposed to be a difficult maze. It’s not. My dog just nudged it very gently and all the food came out instantlyTerrible to charge that price and to send me a used product and a product that doesn’t do what it says it’s supposed to do.

Came looking like it was used already. Did not survive a week, although to start with looked quite sturdy, however the element inside moved after about 15 minutes of my dog playing with it and was useless since. for a third of a price maybe would be worth buying. You can buy better stuff for way less money, do not buy this shiny looking gadget, as your dog does not care what it looks like, simply needs to do the job! This one stopped after just 15 minutes. Shocking!

Our dogs have loved playing with this. It's tough and hard wearing. Only criticism is that it feels quite sticky to touch and picks up lots of dog hair/fluff. Easily fixed by running under the tap though!

The ball is made of very soft rubber so its gentle on the furniture. It does what its intended to do but for our dog/us too easy for the food to come out. For some this might be great.
