WOOF Pupsicle - Long-Lasting Interactive Dog Toy to Keep Your Pup Busy and Distracted - Safe for Dogs - Low-Mess Design - Dog Toys for Medium and Large Dogs 25-75 lbs

This thing is awesome. I use the farmers dog food and put in the small tray, top w approx a half tsp of broth, and freeze. My Malshi (13lb) goes nuts for it. I make up a bunch of them, set them aside in the freezer and have plenty of treats for him when he needs them. He’s got some anxiety when I leave so I put a frozen treat in there, give it to him, walk out the door, and he’s none the wiser haha. Had no idea how good licking is for them and working to get all of the food out. He looks forward to his pupsicle and doesn’t have a negative reaction when I leave. I tried some other recipes (bananas and pb) but he wasn’t interested so I’m glad I found what made him excited and could get him distracted.

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.

This is the only toy that outlasts my dog in a play session! She is a Labrador who is way too smart for her own good!! She will end a play session with pupsicle still left in there. They last longer than she has focus for. Which is amazing. She usually plays with enrichment toys or tuff chews like petsafe ring insert toys. This way right up her alley, and unlike the petsafe toys, this one has a tray sold here on Amazon that lets you make your own pupsicle refills, which I and my dog love as a feature too. My favorite feature though? Easy to CLEAN 🫧. Opens right up. Dishwasher safe and tested by me :)

Great toy and great customer service. Our Goldens love the three balls we bought. We bought premade treats and we made a few from home recipes. The balls keep our pups occupied for at least 20 minutes per treat. At seven months old each, I need the break. During treat time unfortunately, our female stole her brother’s ball and decided to chew a little harder than was probably necessary on the ball top. Our boys, who are rough chewers, did not damage theirs. We contacted Woof directly, through email on a holiday; 4th of July. They immediately answered the email. After providing documentation, they sent us a new ball. We definitely will be buying from.Woof again.

The media could not be loaded. I have a pitty and pitties chew a LOT! That being said i wasn’t sure if my Samson would like this or not as he’s older and not as active as he used to be and he is super picky. I was so surprised when this occupied him for almost an hour on the first go! He loved the beef and peanut butter Woof filling and i added a few of his duck finger treats to hold the ball of Woof PB and beef in there a little better to keep him occupied longer.Unfortunately he ripped the screw part of this one almost completely out so i don’t think this is something that i would be comfortable leaving him alone with. I didn’t want to spend the extra $6 on the super chewer version if he didn’t like it so i guess it will have to be upgraded before long.The photos are taken from immediately after the first time he got this toy. The function and weight of the toy is really good as the weight helps the toy stay in place and i was tying this to see if it would be good for him to have while boarding but I’m having second thoughts on that since this happened after one use.This toy was easy to prep and get his attention and keep it. I am just sad the durability is not as great as i wanted it to be and for the composition of this toy. Washing this was super easy but i will be soaking it a bit since there are now punctures in it and the slobber and such can get down in there.I would suggest not tightening this screwed in section completely or you will run into the “hard to open” problems. I would also suggest that once it has been used to not put it back together u til you are filling it again as the left over moisture from washing or the dogs slobbering will lock it tight and make it unusable.
