Bob-a-lot of fun! A treat dispensing toy for your dog.

May 11, 2018 0
We have so much fun as #ChewyInfluencer, and this time we got to review a really great toy! Petey had so much fun with this. If you're looking for a toy for your dog that is a lot of fun and keeps him moving and active this is it! The Starmark Treat Dispensing Bob-a-lot!

Think Weeble that spits out treats. If your dog is food motivated, or just enjoys a puzzle, he's going to love this toy. Just unscrew the top, fill with treats, open the little door at the bottom and go! We tested this toy with Pete. He bopped it all over with his nose and paw. Loved it and got every bit of kibble out and had a bob-a-lot of fun!





  It's great for slow feeding and reducing boredom. You can even customize the difficulty level. This toy is sturdy too. Pete has carried it around in his mouth, batted at it, dropped it and chewed on it and it holds up!


Next we let Ernest have a turn.


Oh well, some dogs just don't know how to have fun.

Check out the Bob-a-lot on Chewy.com. They'll ship it off to you and your dog can be playing with it in a matter of days!


Full Disclosure: We received one Bob-a-lot toy in exchange for our honest review. Opinions here are 100% my own.

Treat dispensing toys help reduce boredom

November 30, 2015 0
My son's puppy (he's 18 months old, but still a puppy!) Zeke gets bored when he's home alone.
So what does a bored puppy do?

This:
Zeke ate a shoe.






and this:
Zeke ate an electric shaver.
















So I've been recommending to my son that he leave Zeke with some challenging, treat dispensing toys. What are the advantages?

1. Provides mental stimulation
2. Provides physical activity
3. Reduces boredom
4. May reduce boredom-related behaviors such as barking and ripping apart the furniture.

Recently Chewy.com sent us a PetSafe Busy Buddy Twist 'n Treat treat dispensing toy to try out.














The Twist 'n Treat looks like a flying saucer, and consists of two halves that are adjustable and able to be filled with small treats.












 Twist the halves far apart to give your dog a quick reward, or twist the halves closer together for more of a challenge.

Add small treats or smear with cheese or peanut butter for even more playtime options.
The toy is durable, but not intended for vigorous chewers.

 Ike is not a strong chewer, but we tried this out on Kelly.

















She was quickly able to figure out how to access the treats, so I twisted the opening smaller. She enjoyed the challenge of working out the treats until every last one was gone. She didn't become bored nor frustrated, and enjoyed playing with the toy.

This toy was a big hit with Kelly. This fun and unique treat dispenser might just make your dog happy too!
