I use these as a way to keep Sam (Sampson) our 4 year old English Coon Hound busy while he is in his crate. He loves it. I fill it with kibble and stuff a couple small bones in the ends to make it more of a challenge.. the only problem is that sometimes he cant get the treats out because they break off in the toy and wont fit back out the hole so he just rips a hole in the side and takes the food out that way, ruining the toy for good... lol but it isnt the toys fault, Sam is an agressive chewer and a very strong chewer at that. he has jaws like a Pit that just lock onto an object, his fave game is tug.

Our Lucy who has shredded ever toy imaginable, loves this toy and it is her favorite. We buy the Milk Bone training treats and stuff two or three in each end and she is occupied for at least an hour. She has destroyed a Kong, but she loves this. It has lasted 6 months plus and shows no sign of wear and tear.

My pup Dodger loves to see me lead this toy up with buddy berries. He will be occupied with this toy for a good 20 minutes. Even after the treats stop coming out so easily, he will work harder to get them. Eventually, he will lose interest...but 20 minutes is pretty good!

I go to a vet tech school and we have about a dozen dogs on site and they love this toy. it's flexible and great for them to whip around. they came from a local shelter so some of them don't know how to play or what to do with toys but stuffing it with food is something they understand and stimulates them to play.

My brittany is hard on toys so we always look for toys that can stand up to her. She loves this toy, as well as all the other Busy Buddy products. She got frustrated at first because she couldn't get the treats out (we use Charlie Bear treats), but figured out the trick the second time we got it out. Now she brings it to us to get it filled and then lays on her side trying to get the treats out, looking like she is a baby sucking on a bottle. So cute!

I was really disappointed with this toy. The plastic around one end ripped, about the third time my dog used it. She is a medium sized golden/sherpherd mix who enjoyed the game of getting the treats out, but I am disappointed the rubber ripped so easily.

I have a Chinese Crested who isn't usually interested in rubber toys, but when I fill this up he gets really excited. He isn't an aggressive chewer so it's holding up really well so far, if this one ever falls apart I would replace it in a heartbeat.

I prefer that my dog be busy rather than bored and possibly getting into trouble. This is a great little toy that I will with my dog's kibble and it keeps her busy. I keep a couple of these types of toys around whenever I leave her alone.

My westie puppy is a strong chewer. Toys don't last over a month, with a few exceptions. I bought the large for him a month ago and stuffed it with his kibbles and bits of cookie. He worked on it diligently for hours. Perfect to keep him from boredom when I have to work during the day. I have to say I'm impressed with its quality so far.

I bought this for my 4.5 months old beagle puppy. He loves it! The rubber is not very hard, which is perfect for puppys teeth. I put some whipped treat and pieces of kibbles and liver treats inside. They make my puppy crazy.

I have a VERY destructive lab. No toy lasts for Hank. But this one has been around for 3 weeks now and he has not been able to rip or tear or make any sort of damage to it. I highly recommend this toy for destructive chewers.

Our Border Collie-Lab mix enjoyed this until it was destroyed, approx 20mins later. He likes to bring the half eaten and separated ends to us for refills.

I bought the smaller Busy Buddy Waggle, and my 8lb Morkie is still loving it after more than a month. This is one of the more difficult treat dispensing toys I have found. But the treats that you put inside do need to be small.. I put cheerios in mine. If it is anything larger than she gets frustrated and keeps bringing it to me to get the treats out, which I realized is very difficult to do! Excellent toy to keep those extra-smart pets busy.

We love this toy. We bought the smaller one and our lab puppy tore the center piece out. So we bought the bigger one. We love that the treats dont fall out all at once. He really has to work to get them out. When hes finished he brings it to us to be refilled. You do have to use a smaller food bits. The toy does have some deep cuts from his chewing on the center part, but its still all intact. We dont leave him alone with it bc we are afraid he might swallow a piece, but it is great for semi-supervised play. Its one of his favorites and will be replace if ever destroyed or lost. We love this companys toys.

My rottweiler loves this toy. After a month, she hasnt been able to chew it apart yet and she can play with it for hours. She just throws it up in the air and watches it bounce, waiting for treats. I put pieces of her food in the ends and it works great.

My 14 month old pit bull puppy had this toy. It lasted her about 6 months. She would throw it in the air to get the treats to come out. If that didn't work, she would sit and chew on one end trying to work the pieces out with her tongue. This was a great, long-lasting, toy and I am re-ordering it.

My Siberian Huskies love these, and they are still around (and relatively undamaged) a month after purchase. If you have a very determined "treat extractor", though, make sure you order the large one. I ordered both sizes, just to see which would work best. My most determined girl got her tongue stuck inside the small waggle (small opening + suction) TWICE! I had to insert a knife into the side of the toy and twist open a hole to release the suction. Thought she would learn her lesson after the first time, but she went right back in! Now the small waggles are set aside to use to focus small hyper dogs in my obedience classes.

I bought this for my Maltese puppy and she loves it! She doesn't "waggle" it, but actually figured out that if she picks it up in her mouth and drops it on end, the treats will eventually come popping out! This is a great toy and has definitely become one of her favorites!

My nine-month old lab puppy loves this. He's had it for a couple weeks now, and hasn't chewed through it yet. (The only other toys that stand up to his chewing are Kongs). This keeps him busier than a Kong, and it's one of his favorite toys. When I fill it with treats, it takes him a half-hour or so to get most of them out.

I have a nine-month old lab puppy who chews through most toys in seconds. He loves his Kong toys (stuffed with all kinds of goodies), but has quickly mastered getting the treats out. This new toy keeps him busy, stands up to his chewing. I put his kibble in the ends, and a couple dried liver treats, and he'll work at it for hours. Definitely a good find.

My 70 pound Aussie loves this toy, and he makes fast work of toys not as strong. (He also likes his Kongs in all sizes and shapes.) This one really keeps his interest, and after a few weeks, he has not put a dent in it. I'm buying more!
