WOOF Pupsicle Interactive Dog Ball Toy for Dogs 25-75 lbs - Green

Our dog loves this treat so much. You have to buy the actual treat as this is only the holder. It keeps our dog contained and happy for about 30 minutes. It is good for a playing activity as well as it makes the dog work for the treat. Highly recommend. Great gift for pet owner!

My husky grows tired of toys and treats very easily. I froze some chicken broth for him that he has enjoyed at room temperature in the past and popped it in the pupsicle. He couldn't have cared less and I had to take it out and placed it in his bowl only for it to melt and be ignored. I worried that he didn't want to take the time to try to get to the treat and that maybe that extra effort turned him off to the broth and the pupsicle toy entirely. It turns out that he is just picky. I also bought the pb&j birthday cake flavored pupsicle treats and I didn't expect much because he is not a big fan of most sweet treats. I tried offering him one without the pupsicle cage and he went nuts for it. So today I tried popping one into the pupsicle and his eyes grew wide and he played with the toy for about an hour trying to get to the treat. Which is far longer than the advertised 20 minutes that it was supposed to keep him entertained for and far longer than the 15 minutes that I expected it to last for! At the hour mark the treat had shrunken so much that he gave up and just laid next to the pupsicle. So I opened it up, cut up the treat and put the pieces into a ronghouse treat log. He played with it for a minute but quickly grew tired of that as well. Putting a second pb&j birthday treat in the pupsicle cage has him excited all over again. I hope that this lasts as he gets bored of new toys and treats pretty quickly. But I feel like we have a winner with the birthday pb&j treat. He rarely gets so excited for a treat that isn't cheese so I will likely be purchasing the pb&j birthday cake treats even after he eventually grows tired of the pupsicle toy. The toy itself is a very cute pastel blue, a color that he can actually see which must make the toy more noticeable to him. The top screws on and off with ease and while his long fur did stick to the toy they came off with ease. I was worried that I would have to scrub it under water but no I was able to wipe all of the fur off with a damp towel with ease. Plus the toy has a good amount of weight to it and it stands up to his chewing very well. He did no real damage to it despite being a heavy chewer. All he was able to do was leave some pinpricks in the surface of the toy. The top easily screws and unscrews with no real amount of effort. Which is great for people with hand and wrist issues. My dog has no idea how to open it and it seems as if there is no risk of him opening the pupsicle cage on his own. I highly recommend this toy for anyone who has a dog that needs more stimulation in their lives. It is a well made quality item that is worth every penny.

Honestly soooooo worth the money. My dog is 85lbs and has 0 interest in Kongs, eats most “long lasting” dog treats and collagen rolls in under 5-10 mins, and is hard to find high value rewards that he likes. I bought him this as sorta a last resort because he LOVES to lick. Get gets lick matts and loves them but again, finishes them quickly because his tongue is the size of Antarctica. This thing lasted my dog an hour. A full hour. And he loved it. He would take it from room to room, and continue licking it. And the mess was super minimal unlike collagen rolls or kongs. I thought I was wasting my money when I bought this cause I thought for sure my dog wouldn't like it since he hates Kong balls, but he loved it!

Ok - here’s the thing - I own five of these in various sizes. I even have one for heavy chewers. My dogs LOVE these, BUT there is a BIG problem that almost makes this whole system unusable. It is nearly impossible to unscrew these at times. I have tried EVERYTHING. I use oil to lubricate the threads and I’ve used various types of grippers to unscrew them, but there have been times I haven’t been able to open even ONE of the five dispensers that I own. I have SOOOOOOO much product to use up - bags and bags of powder to make my own in the freezer trays, 4 feeezer trays, two mixing bottles, and lots and lots of the ready-to-use pops. I have tried every flavor and my dogs REALLY love these, but I have to be able to open two of the five at the same time in order to use them bc I have two dogs and cannot give out just one at a time or there would be problems between the dogs. I have two of the XL size and since they were so difficult to unscrew (especially the black one for heavy chewers), Sinai bought three in a smaller size (large) hoping that I’d be able to open two of the three at the same time…no such luck. It’s so frustrating that it has actually brought me to tears at times. I’ve used all Kind of products to try and open these dispensers…various types of liquid soap, various oils and non-stick sprays, different temperatures of water - I’ve tried putting them in the freezer to see if they would shrink and that would help, I’ve put them in the sun to see if that would soften them and make them easier to open, I’ve used various tools to try to open them in different ways - it’s been absolutely MADDENING to use these - especially since I have so much product to use up (the pops and mixes). I cannot just give my dogs on the the pops without putting it in a dispenser bc if seems like a choking risk, and I don’t want to just waste all of the pops and mixes. I haven’t been able to get ANY of the dispensers open for at least a month. They’re all sitting by my kitchen sink and I try working with them whenever I am feeling patient, but currently all FIVE are stuck closed and unusable. It’s a GREAT idea and works to keep my dogs busy and occupied and they LOVE them, but that doesn’t do me much good if I am unable to open them. Every time I use them, I lubricate the threads with some sort of dog-safe oil, and I try to reopen them as soon as the dogs are finished, but for some reason, I haven’t found a way to make this system work. PLEASE SHARE YOUR WORK-AROUNDS OR SOLUTION IDEAS WITH ME! I really want to use these now and into the future, and I’ve invested literally HUNDREDS of dollars into this system as it’s the best thing I’ve found in over 20 years of dog ownership to give my dogs to satisfy their need to chew. And the dental powder really helps with their breath and (hopefully) their overall dental health as well. I am picky about ingredients I give my dogs and also hate how expensive most dogs chews are (like dental bones and bulky sticks) and how QUICKLY my dogs gobble them up. This product is affordable for me, has ingredients I feel good about, lasts a long time (even with my one super chewer), and engages their mind to help keep boredom at bay. But I am currently completely unable to use any of the five dispensers I have purchased. I have to admit that I am very tempted to buy 2 more of each size (XL & L) just to be able to use up some of the products I already have…I know that they will each work at least once, but probably a few times, but I hate to have to do that so I am BEGGING for a solution I haven’t already thought of trying. THANKS SO MUCH!

Our daughter's black lab loves using this and it keeps him occupied for at least 20-30 minutes. It does get teeth marks on it.

So far, I have no complaints. I can see that this toy might not work well for some combinations of dogs and people, but for my two current dogs (blue heeler and small terrier), this thing, plus the treat mold, is GREAT! I love that the dogs get it more or less fully emptied, and it is washable. I love that I can pre-prepare a whole bunch of frozen fillings by using the treat mold (sold separately). Yes, I agree that this is a very expensive item, especially if you buy the treat mold along with the toy. I bought two toys at a very reduced price on Prime day, also bought the treat mold at full price, and consider the combined purchase a great value at this cost. The current price (for the toy) is comparable to the cost of an extra-large Toppl, and I've seen it at a price similar to the current cost of a large Toppl. I checked the current price of the XXL "extreme" Kong I needed to use for one dog, and the current price on a different web site is almost the same as the Woof Pupsicle. To answer questions and issues I've seen mentioned... * My terrier weighs 16 pounds and uses the large toy with no problem. Possibly it is minimally less thoroughly cleaned out, but I'm not positive about that. My only warning would be that you ought to keep track of calories and/or what you put in it because you could potentially give a small dog way too many empty calories from "junk food." * The toy is still usable without the treat mold. Just fill up the solid half of the toy and stick it in the freezer overnight, same as you would do with a Kong, except it takes up less space. * Do introduce it properly, by initially giving it with NON-frozen and sticky food in it. An even more slow, careful, step-wise introduction may be necessary if your dog is a destructo-dog. * The terrier takes about 20 minutes to empty it of frozen canned dog food. That's non-trivial, and I'm not sure why people are complaining. The heeler takes less time (maybe 15 minutes?), but it's still an amount of time that is helpful for me, and this licking activity seems to be especially calming for her (as compared to using the food puzzle toys with kibble). * It initially was extremely difficult to open and close the thing. I was best able to do it with a "light" touch, not pulling and making sure not to press the two surfaces together. After not very long, it became much easier. I didn't need to use oil. If you have trouble getting it closed, it became a lot easier after the solid part was frozen (while the vented part stayed at room temperature). * I agree with others that a larger version might be nice, but a larger version might make dogs more likely to destroy the toy in place of emptying it by focused licking. * I'm not sure that any of these toys are truly indestructible. People are mentioning Kongs. Well, my Kongs have required periodic replacement. They have tooth marks and eventually get "modified" to where pieces might get torn off and consumed. For one dog, I had to upgrade to the XXL-size Extreme (black) version, and she also put tooth marks in that. I own a fortune's worth of Kongs, Toppls, and a couple similar food toys, and they all have their issues. They have holes in them that allow liquid to immediately come out (before freezing occurs). They are bulky and use up a lot of space in the freezer, and the unusual shapes make them non-stackable. For me, Kong toys are time-consuming to fill and difficult to clean. My dogs couldn't get the very end cleaned out without throwing the Kong around (making a big mess), and even then it wasn't fully clean. Some did end up with mold in that part of them. [It looks like new inventions, like plugs (or something like that), may solve some of the problems; I didn't have those.] I mention the other toys only to say that this unique brilliant toy has seeming solved all those problems, and my dogs truly LOVE this toy as well. Be assured, I will update this review if anything changes.

I never knew I needed these until I got my new puppy, Raven. Golden and Aussie mix, she's beautiful, cuddly, and her behavior is a bit over the top. We're working with a new trainer, who taught me there is no need to feed her in a bowl. Instead, make it creative and mentally stimulating. So I bought 2 of these in XL - she's already 60 pounds at 7 months. We start with kibble hunt spread around the kitchen in different hiding places. Then I give her both pupsicles filled with her frozen wet food. Now, instead of 2 minutes to inhale her food, it takes her 1 hour & 32 minutes. 45 each for the pupsicles and 2 for kibble hunt. It's fun to watch her run around to find the kibble, so it's entertaining for both of us! Only one downside - the first two I bought, green and pink, are extremely hard to unscrew. I started spraying all of the threads on both parts with olive oil and that helps immensely. Don't let them sit around and dry, it's even harder to open them after they dry out. But! I bought the red and blue one from the manufacturers site and that is extremely easy to open. Does not stick at all, I still spray them, but what a difference! If anyone from Woof is reading this, can you change all of the colors to that same material??

Love the durability of this toy. I paid full price and was expecting a new toy in the mail, however, I received a used one. It had tons of tooth indentations and treat residue inside, which was fine for me because it was for my dog who will not care. The previous owner had put it in the dishwasher I'm guessing, because it is very difficult to screw open and closed (my mom has one for her lab and after putting it in the dishwasher saw these same results). I wouldn't buy this product as a gift for a pet owner for fear of a used one arriving in the mail. Otherwise, my dog enjoys these. It takes her only 10 minutes to get the treat ball out, so I put them in the freezer before giving it to her to make it last longer. Don't put them in the dishwasher!!!

El producto viene como si ya estuviera usado y desgastado. Incluso tiene restos de comida de mascota

Super Teil, nur viel zu teuer

My dogs love these!

Great product. Just make sure to take it off them when they are done. Making your own refills is cheap however the bought refills are expensive. Licking is very soothing and relaxing for dogs. We have been using ours a lot recently, as my dog is on strict toileting walks after an injury.

this treat ball are great for my pomsky and golden retriever. It definitely gives me 30mins or more for free time to be able to some chores around the house and it definitely gets their brains to work, so nap time after they have worked hard for that treat. They are very durable. My dogs have chewed them and still can't wreck them. I would definitely recommend this to friend or anyone.
