Reviews of Pet Buddies PB4500 Pooch Treat House, Interactive Treat Dispenser

Customer Ratings:

eh, things I don't like about this treat house:

1. if the ball does not hit right, sometimes no treat will pop out.

2. a lot of the time, more than one treat pops out when the ball is dropped.

3. my dog can stick her tongue in the treat dispenser and get treats that way instead of using the ball.

4. there is no helping it stay up right on carpet.

things that are good/included on this treat house:

1. spike for outdoor use, and suction pads to keep upright on tile/wood floor if your dog tries to tip it.

2. something to teach your dog, providing mental simulation and exercise, that will not be a wasteful skill (as compared to other 'dog puzzles' this treat house will teach your dog the skill of picking up and placing, which is awesome and can be used to achieve other useful commands (eg. put up toys, bring me keys).

personally, the ball was a little too big for my chi-weenie. she is good at pulling the ball in if I set it on top of the house however she's stubborn and doesnt want to pick the ball up to drip it in (yet). If your dog loves carrying things in his mouth then you might be able to train him to use this house easier than me and my dog.

I got this and it was much smaller than I thought it would be, guess I should have looked for the dimensions. It does have suction cups on the bottom, but they dont hold it that well if you have a bigger dog. I have a GSD, and she plays this game, but I dont think she could use the toy without direct supervison. It is made out of hard plastic that would cause some real damage if it were chewed on or broken. I will use it for the new puppy coming as it is the right size for a puppy. I made my own treat dispenser that works like this toy does using a cardboard box, and an empty soda bottle. I just thought that this one looked nicer, but I guess, I could take my time and fix up the box to look better as well (for free). I am giving four stars because it works as described.

The picture is very misleading In the photo there is a baby husky, and huskys are still big as babies.

I bought this for my labrador, thinking it would be a little bigger, but it is about 6 inches tall, and extremely light.

You also cant use any other ball but the one it came withThe one is came with is very heavy, and hard for my dog to toss around, so she never plays with it. She got the concept of dropping it in and getting a treat, but when she used her normal tennis balls and the treat wouldn't come out, she got stressed.

She also got the concept that if you step in the hole or stick your tongue up the little treathole you can get your food to come out.

It also only works with the tiny milkbones, not the regular sized ones. I would have to break her treats up.

It also only works half the time.

So, end the end, it sucks. Don't waste money on it.

Honest reviews on Pet Buddies PB4500 Pooch Treat House, Interactive Treat Dispenser

I agree with the other reviewers this is not the best product for big dogs! For small & medium sized dogs, though, this toy is great! The tennis ball that's included is pretty easily destroyed, though, so be prepared to substitute your own.

My dog isn't really big on this, the sound of the ball going down the house makes a little racket which scares my medium sized dog. Also the suction on the bottom feet portion is pretty weak, so it's easy to knock over. After a while my dog would just stick her tongue into the food dispensing hole and eat the kibbles that way.
