Calm Clean Companion Treat-Dispensing Puzzle Ball

A rolling ball that drops kibble one or two pieces at a time. Your dog has to nose it around the room to get fed, which turns a thirty-second meal into a twenty-minute job.

That is the whole point. A dog that has had to work for its dinner is a noticeably calmer dog for the rest of the evening, and it is one of the few things that genuinely helps with the bored-and-destructive hours.

What you get

• Adjustable opening — make it easy while they learn, harder once they've worked it out
• Soft rubber roller so it doesn't clatter across hard floors
• Non-toxic nylon ends, ABS centre
• Unscrews for cleaning; top-rack dishwasher safe
• Two colours

Honest limits

Sized for small and medium dogs. A determined large dog will treat it as a chew toy rather than a puzzle, and it will not survive that. It also works with dry kibble and hard treats only — anything soft will jam it.
