It seems like finding a dog toy that actually keeps your dog entertained and lasts more than just a couple of hours is an impossible task. Pups either get bored with toys quickly or tear them to shreds, and then that’s that. But there’s one dog toy on Amazon that pet parents say actually keeps dogs busy, and one pet parent said that they’ve had their Twist’n Treat toy for 15 years — yes, seriously! So your hunt for the perfect dog toy may actually be over.
The PetSafe Busy Buddy Twist’n Treat dog toy is a BPA-free treat-dispensing dog toy that you can adjust to make more difficult or easier for your dog to retrieve treats from. Simply twist or untwist the two halves to adjust the levels, or adjust the toy based on the size of the treats inside. Then, when playtime is over, just toss the Twist’n Treat into the top rack of the dishwasher to sanitize for next time. You can even use this toy with smearable treats and freeze it to make it a fun summertime activity.
You can pick up the toy in various sizes depending on your dog’s weight, and it’s able to withstand most moderate chewers. In fact, some pet parents say that this toy has lasted them well over a decade.
PetSafe Busy Buddy Twist'n Treat
“A wonderful and safe toy that takes some time to figure out,” one pet parent wrote in their Amazon review. “Have bought two over the last 10 years, so it lasts a long time.”
“This is by far the best treat/food dispensing toy I have ever seen,” another reviewer wrote. “I bought one of these 15-ish years ago. This toy is so incredibly durable. Despite having multiple heavy chewers who destroy most toys in hours or days, our old one only became non-functional recently. It had chunks out of it and looked beat up for years, but it worked really well until one dog chewed the edges so much that the treats no longer stayed inside at all … I was so pleased that this toy is still on the market. It is more than worth every penny.”
And someone else added, “These are an OG food puzzle used by the Veterinary Behavior Department where I work. They are indestructible and are able to be used with both kibble and soft foods smeared inside or even soft foods smeared and then frozen. The shape of the toy makes it unpredictable and engaging for the dogs. Four paws up!”
Pick up the Busy Buddy Twist’n Treat toy from PetSafe for your dog, and he’ll stay busy for hours (and even years!).
