KONG Wobbler - Interactive Dog Toy for Treat Dispensing - Dog Slow Feeder for Healthy Eating - for Medium/Small Dogs

*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. 🩷*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.

We have this in 2 sizes. The small one is great for smaller dogs/puppies with under 3/4 cups of kibble/treats. The larger one is great for the bigger dogs and more kibble/treats! We have used up to 1.5 cups of kibble in the large one!To slow down the rate of food we put a small ball (golf ball/raquetball for the large) inside. We also use duct tape to make the hole a bit smaller. The dogs love it and all figured it out quickly. I do not suggest leaving your dog unattended with it until you know they won’t try to destroy it. It is not indestructible! But, it is very well made! Ours has a few teeth marks and the dogs have managed to unscrew it once or twice. But we have been using these daily for over 6 months!

When my husband and I adopted our little dachshund/miniature schnauzer mix (he's about 15 pounds), he wasn't eating very much. The vet told us that once he acclimated to his new owners and surroundings, his appetite would pick up. Well, it didn't. After two months, he still would not eat very much out of his bowl. He would take 3-4 bites and would walk away from all his food. My husband and I had to force our dog to eat or hand feed him - neither of which we liked.I read up on dachshunds and found out that they are hunting dogs. I thought that maybe if we made getting his meal a bit more of a hunt or challenge that he would like it more - and sure enough, I was right! Ever since we bought this Wobbler Kong, he eats ALL his food with no problems! This toy keeps my dog engaged and happy while eating! It is such a relief not to have to force or hand feed our dog and to not worry if our dog is getting enough food. The fact that he enjoys it and likes it so much is just the icing on the cake and makes us so happy! So, for our dog, it's more of an interactive feeder than a toy or game and we feel that it was well worth the money paid!As others have noted, for a "small" size this is indeed pretty big - it's as tall as my dog! I was surprised by the size when I got it in the mail but I thought I'd give it a try anyway - and I'm glad I did because he loves it! So far, he hasn't had any problems with the size. It knocked him in the head/face a few times at first but never hard and now he's learned and usually moves out of the way.We've had it about a month now and our dog eats out of it 1-2 times a day and it's holding up just fine. He is a big chewer and he's tried to chew this a few times but so far, has not done any damage. We have high hopes that this will last for a while!

My 30 lb dog loves this toy. It keeps his attention, entertains him and is fun-until it isn’t. I have purchased two of these. Each lasted a single use (30 min). The Wobble comes apart when the dog plays with it. He snarfs the snacks down and then proceeds to chew up the pieces. Great idea, but not a great multiple use produce. This is a waste of money.

My two boys can bang these Kong toys around all day long, as long as treats fall out. The Wobbler is easy to load and holds a lot of treats, several cups worth. Because my two boys are pretty good size, both are over 100lbs each, they can destroy toys quickly and the Wobbler can take the abuse. I would recommend the Kong Wobbler for any owners of large dogs, lots of entertainment and they are very durable.

My pup absolutely loves this Kong! It keeps her busy for over an hour! We have the original Kongs and she is able to get the treats out of those in minutes. This keeps her entertained for longer!

A great simple way to keep the puppy entertained and eat more slowly!

It’s a good product and love the concept. My dachshund likes to carry his treat dispensing toys around. I ordered the “small” for puppies and small dogs. This toy is huge! A dachshund cannot pick this up.I will continue my search as he is on a diet and gets food as treats that don’t fit in other dispensing toys. Next time I’ll check the measurements listed.

Lagom svår och tar betydligt längre tid än mat från en skål

Mi perra lo adora, al principio le costó acostumbrarse a su funcionamiento pero enseguida le pilló el truco, le encanta incluso tomar su comida o cena en él, es muy entretenido.

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!

I saw this toy recommended for border collies because it's more challenging than most food dispensers, so I got one for my koolie puppy. I am so glad that I did. After I demonstrated how it worked, he took to it right away.It greatly slows down his dinner, gives him mental and physical exercise, and is VERY entertaining to watch. He jumps about kicking it and grabbing it with his paws to throw it behind him, which sends it off in wild spins that fling kibble in arcs across the floor. Then he spend a minute or two carefully sniffing out all the kibble it dispensed, before leaping back onto the toy to dispense more.It's so fun to watch that my mother-in-law always asks me to bring him over to her house for his dinner, so she can watch him go at it. She has a rug with a busy pattern, which makes the kibble very hard to see. This gives him a lot of sniffing practice, which is great because I plan to do scent work with him.Afterwards, he's tired out and ready for bed.

A mi perro le a gustado mucho,juega le ladra y se concentra con el kong . Muy buen producto
