The Twist N Treat can be filled with individual goodies and/or can be smeared on the inside with peanut butter or cheese. The two parts of this toy can be unscrewed and then tightened to increase or decrease the ease of accessibility. If left too loose, treats fall out too easily; if over-tightened, it's just about impossible to get the contents out. Dogs love it, however, and often will not give up. I find it frustrating to clean all the Twist N Treat's little holes after it's been lathered with peanut butter.

Pros: Dogs can work hard to empty it

Cons: Dishwasher can work hard to clean it

I first tried this with my 12 year old dog. She's usually not interested in toys, but this product she loves. It's great to watch her move it around the floor. I will often put her evening meal in it. It keeps her occupied instead of begging at the table !

Pros: Great for any dog

Cons: Awkward at first

I have a couple of sizes of this toy, appropriate to the size of my dogs. They love to play with toy in their basement play area. I use Cheerios to fill it and make it more challenging if they are falling out too quickly....tighten by turning. Way easy to clean and durable from paws and teeth. A great way to entertain your pup if you have something else to get done.

Pros: alter level of difficulty

Cons: none

The Twist and Treat is unique because the difficulty of the toy can be adjusted by how hard you screw the top and bottom together. You can put just about anything inside of the toy and therefore you can please most dogs. The toy comes apart and can be placed in the dishwasher to clean, so no matter what you place in- you can clean it.
If you have a dog that prefers to settle the situation by taking the toy apart instead of working to get the treats out, they can chew the toy so you still need to watch them at first.
I have also used the toy with cats and kittens as a food dispensing toy. They will bat it around to get their meals as well. It may be a great way to get some extra weight off the cat if you place all his meals in the toy!

Pros: Ultimately adjustable and clean-able

Cons: can be chewed

A friend told me about these. I picked up two for my boys. They're older dogs, so I put stuff in it like Milkbones, vs. peanut butter. They like it, but don't dwell on it. I catch them trying to get goodies out in the evening. Would be good for shelter dogs to keep them entertained.

Pros: keeps them busy

Cons: none
