PetSafe Busy Buddy Chuckle Sound Dog Chew Toy - Treat Dispenser, BB-CHK, Purple,Medium/Large

It's amazing. My dog Jesse used to have one of these when she was a pup and she LOVED it. And absolute favorite toy. At some point it disappeared and I've finally gotten around to getting another one. She still loves it and so does Charlie, my new dog. So it gets 5 paws approval from the pups for fun.It is quite durable too. The previous one got left out in the sun a lot and still was in really good shape but Jesse isn't much of a chewer. Charlie however has a buzz saw mouth that can go through just about anything (Tennis balls take about 2 minutes to rip a hunk off of and he has destroyed a red KONG, albeit one that is too small for his size.) But the chuckle has held up to some serious power chewing sessions with nothing more than some scratches and dents. No holes, rips, or pieces missing. So five stars for durability.As far as the food dispensing goes it IS a bit tricky. It's slow to fill as you have to stick the kibbles through just a few at a time. There is no way to open the toy up for filling. But that means it's also a slow process to get t he kibble back out which is the point of the toy! So I'll call that one even. I just don't use that one as the main toy they get their MEAL out of. It's for snacks or a part of the meal. Since it can't be opened to clean it though I recommend only using dry kibble. I wouldn't put peanut butter or anything like that in this one. You can trim the rubber tabs to adjust the difficulty to your dogs skill level. I use a small kibble and I did trim some tabs off partly because it was difficult for Charlie to figure out what he was supposed to do. No that he knows I think I would trim it less on the next one we get just to make it trickier (and keep him busier even longer!).And finally the sound it makes isn't to bad. The squeak isn't crazy loud and the rubber of the toy is soft enough that it doesn't make a huge racket while they are playing with it. The rubber does have a weird vanilla-y scent that never really goes away. Don't even waste your time trying to wash it or air it out. The first one we had spent plenty on time out in the sun and rain and still smelled funny. I'm fairly sensitive to smells and while this one is strong I don't mind it. But if you are sensitive about smells you may want to order this one with the plan to possibly need to return it!

The little noisemaker in the center bar makes a clicking sound when the toy is moved in a certain direction. I have a Dal. I have had Dals since I was a kid and I am now approaching 70. I am retired now so I get to have more time and fun with my Dal. I also have 2 other dogs, a Chihuahua and a Corgi mix. I love them all, but Dals are different, not smarter, not better, just different. My Dal gets the treats out of the Chuckle and shares them with the two little dogs. He is very sweet, but in human terms, not the sharpest knife in the drawer. So after all the treat pieces are out of the chuckle, my Dal hears the noisemaker moving about and I guess, assumes it is a piece of a treat still in one side of the dumbell. He used to have a Waggle, and when there was just one piece of something left inside that he could not get out he would bring the waggle to me and literally throw it at me until I got the last piece out for him. Well, this thing moving around in the Chuckle drives him nuts. After he has emptied it he stills hears something moving inside it so he throws it at me. I try to explain that there is actually nothing edible in the thing and give it back to him, but to no avail. He takes it, makes a circle of the house, comes back and throws it at me again. This will only end when I hide the thing until the next morning. (The treat bone is a once a day routine, done only in the morning, about an hour after breakfast.) This is why I give it 5 stars. I gotta love any toy that brings a bit more fun and joy to a dogs life.Oh, I almost forgot to mention, this toy, like the Waggle seems to be a durable, quality product. The Waggle lasted almost 2 years of daily use until it eventually got demolished. My Dals have never been fond of keeping toys. They would much rather see what they are made of. Most toys last an average of 30 mimnutes, 15 if there is a squeaker involved. Funny thing is he does not destroy the little dogs toys, only his own. Anyway, I think the Chuckle might meet or even exceed the 2 year survivability limit of Dal toys actually in daily use.

I have a Portuguese Water Dog, Bella, who is on a continuous mission to destroy (usually successfully) and digest (usually not, which results in cramps and a mess) every "tough" dog toy ever made. About a year ago, I got lucky and discovered the Chuckle. This toy is still intact after daily chewing. It functions very well as an interactive treat dispenser. That did require a small adjustment. When I realized that the Chuckle was reluctant to dispense even the smallest treats, I took a pair of scizzors and trimmed the tips off the rubber prongs that hold treats inside the Chuckle. Try it--keep removing bits of rubber from the prong tips until the treats can pop out when your dog plays with the toy. (Don't take off too much or the Chuckle will spew all the treats at once instead of dispensing them individually.) I left one end of the Chuckle unaltered so that it can hold back a few treats and maintain my dog's interest over a longer period of time. (Avoid putting moist treats inside the Chuckle, unless you enjoy washing dog toys.) The Chuckle survived an inadvertent dip in my pool--no, Chuckle's don't float. Afterward, the toy's "chuckle" sound mutated into a Gollum-like evil snicker, which I found hysterically funny. That didn't last. Once the water evaporated from the Chuckle's voice box, the old familiar "chuckle" returned. The Chuckle sound is neither loud nor obnoxious. I like it. I can get my dog's attention, no matter how distracted she might be, if I give the Chuckle a good shaking. Besides using the Chuckle for play, I load it with small treats before I leave for work, toss it to my very appreciative dog and drive away, knowing that my dog will be busy for a while and less likely to mind my departure. The Chuckle is my dog's favorite toy, and mine as well. I'm going to order another!

My puppy enjoys playing with this toy. He is a chewer and so far so good, he has not destroyed it. He is learning how to get the treats from the toy which is a good distraction for him as he is on the hyper side. Only down side is I find I have to use small treats in the toy as bigger ones are hard to get out. The chuckle sound is not very loud, so if you are buying this for that feature, you may be somewhat disappointed.

Es de gran tamaño para perros medianos y grandes, la textura es suave, lo que demuestra su gran calidad, ademas contar con un aroma agradable. el poderle poner croquetas dentro es un gran plus! Mi perra le encanta destruir todo en un par de minutos, pero este ya le ha durado bastante sin tener ninguna fisura, sin dudarlo le durará por mucho tiempo.

I bought one of these two years ago and it is so good that I bought the same item again a few months ago. The initial one is still unbroken despite being chewed on a daily basis. It is ideal for all sorts of games with my dog who has destroyed an enormous number of other dog toys which were supposed to be sturdy. Now we have a spare one for times when one goes missing and my dog likes to carry both together too!

My dog loves noisy toys! He loves this toy, though I haven’t quite figured out how to stuff it yet. He is a 17 chi terrier mix, it’s a bit big for him and his kibble fall right out.Washed well on top rack of dishwasher, colour faded on first wash though. The rubber is nice and soft, which I’m sure his gums appreciate!.

Este juguete me gusto mucho porque tengo un perro labrador con mucha energia que tiende a destruir los juguetes. El juguete le encanta , es amigable con su dentadura y resulto ser de uso rudo . Tiene mas de 6 meses de uso y aun seguimos jugando con el.
