Doggo LOVES this!
My 40ish pound Schnoodle (named Noodle) absolutely LOVES this treat ball. And I love watching him with it! It’s fun with mini-Milkbone treats, larger BarkBox treats, baby carrots, or even his whole meal of dry kibble (0.75-1 cup fits with plenty of room to keep it interesting). He also enjoys it when empty and it’s one of the few toys he seems to actually keep track of – even remembering to go get it from outside.It barely fits in his mouth for picking up, so he had to (quickly) learn how to position it so that his teeth use the hole in the outer ball and/or make use of the internal structure to keep a grip. If he doesn’t hold it just right, it’ll slide off his teeth and out of his mouth. The intermittent reinforcement of dispensing keeps him interested and slows him down. He’s learned that he can also bounce it by dropping it from the couch or even letting go while moving his head so he’s lightly tossing it in the air. One of the BEST aspects is that even though he’ll chew on it at times, the outside material shows no sign of puncturing or even wearing after 6 weeks.CON: the texture will pick up stray hair and such when covered with slobber, and then it stays stuck on the ball. Frequent rinsing of the outside of the ball is necessary. I will not take a star off, though, because it’s worth it and I don’t think a different material would provide all the other positives.

Interior breaks easily
The idea of this toy is wonderful. Our 14 year old coonhound-lab enjoys a good puzzle. He still has toys from when he was 6 weeks old. He doesn’t destroy things. This toy was not up to par. Within 30 minutes of supervised play time, the plastic interior maze had broken into several pieces. A few pieces made it out of the ball. The exterior is durable. I was happy with how easy it would be to fill and keep clean. Our pup loved playing with it. It’s simply not at all durable. I am returning this broken toy.

Great Feeder
Our dogs each eat 1 cup of food twice a day and we always use their dinner as enrichment so these maze balls are a perfect toy! They do take a while to load the food into but I’ve found that it’s not too hard if I cup my hand around the hole.ans guide the food in that way. Sometimes my dogs like to chew on the rubber of these balls and they’ve held up REALLY well so far. I can see some bending of the plastic maze inside the ball but we’ll happily replace these balls if any of that cracks off. These balls are WELL WORTH the price we paid for them and will gladly recommend them to family and friends.

Good until pieces started breaking off.
This was good for a couple of weeks. Both dogs liked it. Then pieces of the maze inside the ball started breaking off and falling out as they rolled it around. The pieces were hard and sharp, so not good for them to get hold of.

Better for older dogs
Our 6 month old puppy tore the Mazee apart after a few times of using it. Itâll probably last our older dog longer since she doesnât chew on toys so relentlessly but the size of the hole that dispenses the treats is a bit big so once I saw it, I figured it might not last us very long. They enjoyed rolling it around even when the treats were already out but not the most durable.

Flimsy, hair/carpet sticks to it, treat hole too large
Flimsy, soft material was damaged in minutes with my dog just pawing at it or putting teeth on it to pick it up/toss it around-not even chewing on it. Hole for treats to come out of is too large/maze inside is too easy-treats spill out far too easily. Regrettable purchase, definitely will not buy again.

Great enrichment toy
This is a great enrichment toy for my dogâs meals! She loves to roll this thing around and it makes her meals more exciting.

Hope it lasts
Our dog loves this toy, with or without treats, so much so that as seen in the photos, the plastic maze has been compromised, there was a piece broken before these two, now the maze works off kilter, there are larger broken pieces inside. Not complaining necessarily, he does rough house with it, maybe more so than its intended usage. It’s a good size for him, shepherd/hound, the rubber ball has not been breached, and even if the maze completely collapses it can still work as a treat dispenser. It’s hard to rate it because it’s ongoing, but overall he loves it.

Llevo más de dos años con la pelota. Tengo dos perros, uno talla mediana y uno talla chica. Mantiene a mis perros ocupados un rato y ayuda a bajar la ansiedad.La habÃa comprado con perros grandes y la rompieron por dentro más fácilmente, por lo que recomiendo usarla con supervisión con perros grandes.

Also da musste Nora sich erst überlegen wie sie an die Leckerlis kommt ð¤…Aber natürlich hat sie es geschafft…Was mich ein bisschen stört ist die leicht klebrige Oberfläche… weil da auch der kleinste Staubflusen dran hängen bleibt ð…

3 séances de jeux et la balle dites ultra résistante est a jeter a fuir

Der Ball ist auf jeden Fall jedem Hundehalter zu empfehlen.Der Ball ist ungefähr doppelt so groÃ, wie die üblichen Tennisbälle, dadurch sind die Rillen für die Leckerlis schön tief.Man kann in die Rillen auch problemlos Bananen- oder Apfelscheiben hineintun.Es ist auch noch ein Loch für Leckerlis in dem Ball, wo man Leckerlistangen reinstecken kann.Der Hund ist somit lange beschäftigt.Das Material des Balls ist weich und riecht leicht nach Minze.
