My dog loves it!
This treat feeder has been fantastic for my energetic pup. It keeps her entertained and slows down her treat eating, which is great for her digestion. The design is sturdy and easy to clean.

Good but a bit small
I like the concept and build quality, but it’s a bit small for my large Labrador. Still, it works well and keeps him busy for quite a while.
