WOOF Pupsicle – Lengthy-Lasting Interactive Canine Toy to Maintain Your Pup Distracted – Protected for Canine – Low-Mess Design – Canine Toys for Massive Canine 25-75 lbs

Worked Like a Charm
I used to do the old hollow bone – frozen treat filler routine. Worked well, yet kind of a pain in the neck wrt time efficiency.In prep for my dog’s first engagement, freezed treat balls in a muffin pan overnight. Worked like a charm; kept her at it for a good 30 minutes. New (durable) toy, familiar treat = happy dog. Toy is easy clean, ready to rock and roll for the next dog snack.I say this in that – my experience – rolling treat balls / treat puzzles are either too easy or too challenging.I’m betting this will be a durable treat toy that she’ll enjoy for a good stretch.

Great for pups!
These things keep my medium-sized and large-sized dogs entertained for around 45 minutes, which is awesome! The treat balls are easy to use, and I love that the gadget itself is reusable. The dogs love the taste of the treat balls too! My only concern is if I leave the toy with my younger dog (11 months now) for too long, he does start ripping at the gadget. He doesn’t get very far because it is made well and pretty thick, but it is still something to be wary of. All in all, a great product!

Like unto the Holy Grail of food toys. [I recommend buying the separate treat mold, too.]
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.

Good investment, nice to have a good quality toy for small dogs.
This is the best dog toy I own. Kind of pricey but solid quality and I think it will actually save me money in the long run since I can make my own low cost dog treats. Realistically I’m just not going to bake treats and I hate cleaning a Kong toy, so this is my go to treat feeder. My dog loves it and I love how easy it is to clean and fill. Can’t comment on how durable it is for heavy chewers since my dog really only licks it.Originally I bought a knock off version which did work, but this is worth the price difference. It’s very solid and the perfect size for my 12 pound dog. Can be hard to find a great quality feeder toy for small dogs, glad to have found this.

Dog is not an agressive chewer, this disintegrated after the first two uses.
