Customers say

Customers are divided on this toy. Many praise its ability to keep dogs mentally engaged and occupied for hours, slowing eating and providing stimulation—especially for intelligent or energetic dogs. However, a significant group reports the rope component frays, breaks, or is destroyed quickly by strong chewers, sometimes within minutes. Some note treats must be small and flat to fit through the opening, and several discovered the bottom unscrews for easier filling. While many find it effective for moderate chewers, durability issues and rope failure limit its appeal for dogs with aggressive chewing habits.

My dog loves this toy/treat dispenser. Unfortunately, she has chewed apart three of these toys. Do you have a sturdier toy you would recommend? Thumper is 4 and weighs 48.8 lbs. She is a mix of American Bulldog, Boxer, and Australian Sheppard. Thank you.

Busy Buddy Tug-A-Jug is an awesome toy. It distributes food slowly. It has a pull rope for fun and intrigue. It is a puzzle game as the dog has to figure out that pulling the rope let's food come out. Our dog proudly carries his Tug-A-Jug around the house.

Dogs seem to have a problem understanding concept.

It’s a great food puzzle for dogs that need a little more challenge, as the rope does slow the process down. However, a rope in a food puzzle? There is zero way to wash the rope, & it gets disgusting over time. The original version of this toy used a thick rubber “rope”, which could be washed & sanitized easily. I don’t know who though replacing it with an in washable cotton rope was a good choice. I have to assume it was saving cost on the company’s end, while the price of the toy has only continued to go up.

I’ve purchased a few over the years. This thing is a beast! It’s really durable. My dogs fall asleep after using it they get mentally drained.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Yes, I recommend this product.

My dog loves it, it occupies her time well, and the toy is fairly durable. After a few months of use and extra chewing time, the rope broke and did not function properly after that.

is the small size appropriate for a 62lb lab?

6 years ago
Great question! The small Tug-A-Jug Toy is intended for most dogs weighing 10-40lbs. For your 62lbs Lab it would be best to select the medium/large size.
