The KONG-shaped Wobbler is an action-packed treat and food dispensing toy. It sits upright until pushed by a dog’s paw or nose and then periodically dispenses tasty rewards as it wobbles, spins and rolls. The unpredictable movement keeps the toy challenging, even for seasoned Wobbler users. The Wobbler can also be used as an alternative to a dog bowl to help slow and extend mealtime while providing exercise for your dog. Unscrews for easy filling and cleaning. Covered by KONG Satisfaction Guarantee. See KONG Satisfaction Guarantee document below for full details.

Best dog toy ever!
*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. Feed your dog’s need for independent play and challenges! They don’t live very long. And this thing takes some of the attention off of you to keep your dog amused, and allows you to be amused by them for a while. ð©·*Original review from 2016 is below.*I needed a solution for two teething, whining puppies who were constantly getting into trouble (humping, chewing, fighting, eating up toilet paper and knocking over the bathroom trash, etc). 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.

Problem solving toy for all types of dogs!
We adopted a 4-month-old shelter puppy a little over a week ago. Like a lot of puppies, she tends to bolt down her food. I’ve taught her sit, and have fed her meals by hand and made her sit patiently for each bite, but was looking for another way to feed her that fulfills the goals of both slowing down her speed at eating and engaging her mind. I read the reviews on both sizes of Kong treat dispensing toy, and was a little worried about the size. The description said that the large size was good for puppies over 25 pounds. Right now, Claire is 20 pounds, but she is quickly growing. I figured it made more sense to go with the size she would grow into and ordered the large size. I agree with other reviewers, that despite the measurements given in the product description, this seems much bigger in person! However, with less than a day of practice, she is doing awesome with it! She seemed to find the size a bit daunting at first, so it was more me making it dispense her food. The second time, I worked with her on the command “touch”, and this has worked wonderfully! At first, I would give her the command “touch” and tap the Kong. When she touched it with her nose or paw, I pushed the Kong down to make it dispense a handful of food. When she had mastered touching it with her nose, I graduated her to touching it with her paw, making it reward her each time she did it. Pretty soon, she was swiping it with her paw and making it wobble over and dispense food on her own. Because there is only the one hole that dispenses food, she would have to touch it and pull it down in a certain direction to make it dispense her food. To begin with, if she made it wobble down correctly, I would manually turn it so it dispensed food for her. Now, less than 24 hours later, she is manipulating it completely on her own, and when it doesn’t give her food (if the hole is on the wrong side) she simply continues to bat at it with her paw or roll it over with her nose until the food comes out. This is an awesome “toy” that keeps her actively engaged and problem solving, while dispensing her meals slowly so she doesn’t get an upset tummy from bolting her food.On the durability of this toy: Some have said that it easily is destroyed by hard chewers. Our previous dog, Bandit (another shelter puppy) was a lab mix who could tear up any chew toy in no time flat, so I understand durability issues. However, this toy seems to be very well made. With that said, I only bring this toy out during meal times. So our new puppy does not have free access to it! It also seemed from the reviewers’ pictures, that the damage was around the seam just under the hole that dispenses food. (Love that this unscrews for easy cleaning and easy filling, by the way!!!) When Claire first got this toy, she immediately went to the hole that dispense food. She knew immediately that the food was in there and started pawing at the hole. However, I directed her play with this, and taught her how to “play” with the toy to dispense her food. Now she no longer paws or bites at the hole because she has figured out there is a different way to make the food come out. She is a hound mix and not a lab, but I think the key to this toy with hard chewers is supervision and instruction. Don’t let a hard chewer (or any dog) have free access to this toy–that is not it’s purpose. Instruct your dog on how to make the food come out, and they won’t try to gnaw or paw at the hole or seams. Meal time then becomes a learning game and engages their minds.I would definitely recommend this toy to anyone, with any breed of dog, but it may take a little bit of instruction on the part of the owner. If you want a toy for mindless chewing, choose another durable Kong toy. If you want a toy that challenges your dog and rewards them for thinking things through, then this is the “toy” for you!

My dogs love this!
I have two 35 pound dogs and bought the small/petit size Kong Wobblers although the size says itâs for 25 pound dogs. This size is perfect and my dogs love rolling them and finding food. Itâs brain stimulating and fun. I had to buy two to keep my dogs from fighting over them. I fill them with training rewards, whole almonds, peanuts, cut pieces of jerky, kibble. It will keep them entertained for a long time. It would be perfect for dogs that have issues when left alone. These keep the dogs attention longer than the original Kongs. I highly recommend them.

Great kibble dispensing toy that slows down a puppy who eats too fast. It makes her work for her food. Keeps her physically active and mentally stimulated. Good quality. Puppy learns how to roll it immediately. Very easy to load up with kibble and to wash afterwards. Washes well in top rack of dishwasher too. Small size is perfect for a Labrador Retriever puppy. Purchased large size for her adult years. I used a large one for my first Labrador Retriever after my veterinarian recommended it. My dog ate all of her meals from it. It was still in good shape after years of use but I passed it on to another dog owner. Very happy with my purchase. Definitely recommend!

O meu cocker adorou! Quando entendeu como se brinca e que sai comida amou receber o almoço no brinquedo!

Svolge bene la sua funzione, in questo modo il cane mangia più lentamente e si stanca anche in casa. L’unico problema è che fa molto rumore sul pavimento o sbattendo sulle porte, in appartamento può essere fastidioso
