  • Premier Busy Buddy Kibble I thought my pup would play with this more after reading others reviews but he hasn't showed much interest in it just yet could be that he has so many toys he just hasn't had a chance to investigate further. It does appear to be a durable product. of course time will tell.
    Fun way to feed kibble! My dog usually scarfs her food down so fast she practically chokes. I decided to try a kibble toy to slow her down. I decided on this one over the tugajug because my dog is crazy and throws things around when she gets excited. I thought the tugajug would probably end up getting thrown into the TV or something. This works really well to slow my dog down when eating. Now she only gets a few pieces at a time which is great and dinner is now a fun game for her. It's really cute to watch her run around the house tail wagging chasing this egg and the kibble trail it leaves behind. This kibble toy holds a lot of dog food. There is plenty of room for my dogs normal serving which is probably about 2 cups. The rubber prongs at the openings are easy to trim. I cut very small pieces off at first less than 1/4 at a time to make sure I didn't over do it. Then I filled it with food and let my dog play with it. I feed my dog Purina Beneful just for a size reference. At first only about one piece would come out at a time. Now after a few trimmings I have it so that about 4 or 5 pieces of kibble fall out at a time. This seems to be the magic number to keep my dog's interest. It's holding up well to rolling around the house and banging into stuff but it would definitely not hold up to being chewed on. My dog doesn't try to chew on it now that a decent amount of kibble comes out but she did when only 1 or 2 pieces were falling out at a time. After she gets down to about 1/4 cup of kibble she has trouble making it fall out so I dump it into her bowl. It makes quite a bit of noise when rolled around on hard floors but it doesn't really bother me.
    Not for really active &/or intelligent dogs This is is durable product but quickly after emptying her first bowl full she figured out that she didn't need to chase it around getting a few treats at a time! She unscrewed with her clever agile paws. It just doesn't connect the top and bottom securely enuff for my pup. Now she'll sometimes roll it all over the place just to have something to do but don't spend your money unless you have really dumb dogseven my 15yr old Bouvier just opens it.
    Good toy bad dog My dog really liked this toy but it's not very durable. He was able to get crack it open within the first day and chew most of the soft plastic off. However my dog is an expert destroyer. So if your dog is less prone to destruction I would recommend this toy.
    One is not enough This is it! My Mini Aussies LOVE this ball and compete for it. Never in a mean way but by sneaking hiding running away with it leaving it in the yard or laying on it. Fun entertainment for me to watch to see who has it now. My one issue is finding a dry kibble that is the right size. The ones recommended Buddyberries fall out too quickly. Other sizes fall out too slowly. I don't want to cut the rubber pieces at the opening as one of them will take care of that. I'll keep searching for just the right size treat but in the meantime I am ordering another purple ball.P.S.
    Dog ate more plastic than kibble Ok I have a chewer. Mini dachshund loves this toy and many toys don't hold up. The purple rubber on the outside has been chewed off almost completely in only two days of play. On the bright side he love it! But the twist n play toy held up much longer.
    Opens waaaay too easily Really liked this until it started opening and spilling out all the food at once. Unfortunately this happened after about 3 uses. Maybe we got one that didn't screw together so tightly but this was pretty much a bust for us. Dog is 8months old and medium sized.
    disappointing busy Buddy Kibble Nibble Feeder dog ball It may be ok for some people and their dogs but it is not something I would order again and spend my money on again. I guess it was worth a try for me but no go.
    There are better options out there There was a recent redesign of this product and it's no good. I used this with my dogs and they were bothe able to open it in seconds instead of getting the food out of the designed holes. I ended up having to glue it closed and now I have to put the food in through the holes They should go back to he old design it allowed you to tighten it this one clicks into place and is easily clicked out of place.
    Don't Waste Your Money Within minutes the edges were coming apart. The food barely came out even though the pieces of food are small even when we made the recommended adjustments to the openings. I would not recommend this product for any size dogs we have a smaller 35 lb dog and an 85 lb dog and the product did not hold up with either of them. We bought the wobble kong as well and it's great. Both dogs love it because while they have to work at it the food actually comes out and we love it because it's holding up. The large and extra large wobble kongs are less expensive than the busy buddy kibble nibble and the quality of the Kong is far superior.
