Fish Shaped Treat Dispenser Toy for Dogs and Cats

A bored dog chews the furniture. An engaged dog chews this. You know the afternoon: a chair leg with fresh tooth marks, a rubber ball that didn't last the week, and a dog who inhaled dinner and is now looking for something else to do.

This fish shaped treat dispenser toy answers all of that at once. Fill the silicone body with kibble and it lets go of a piece at a time as your pet rolls, nudges and chews it, so the food becomes the game.

What makes it a puzzle, not another ball:

• One-piece silicone: no seams or crevices for old food to hide in
• Rinses or goes in the dishwasher: which is what decides whether a feeder stays in use
• Works for cats too: filled with kibble or with catnip
• Sized for cats and small to medium dogs: small enough to push around a room

Fill the fish through the opening in the bottom, then let your pet work for it. Kibble drops out through the scale-shaped slots at whatever pace they push the toy around.

That stretches a bowlful of food into a longer session, and it slows down a dog who normally inhales dinner. The treats fall out as they play, which is the whole point.

The body is molded from food-grade silicone in one piece, scales and all. Those raised scales give teeth something to work against instead of a slick surface.

It's a feeder and a chew toy rather than a dental product, so keep the usual routine with your vet.

It actually gets cleaned. One piece with no seams means there's nowhere for yesterday's kibble dust to sit.

Rinse it under the faucet or put it on the top rack, which is the difference between a feeder in daily use and one at the back of a cabinet.

Getting the size right

One size, three colors: 96 mm wide and 70 mm tall / 3.78 x 2.76 in, about the size of a fist. Small enough for a cat to bat across a floor and for a small or medium dog to nose around a room.

It's too small to be the right toy for a large breed, who will simply carry it off and crack it.

Fill the fish with tonight's kibble, set it down in front of him, and dinner takes a good deal longer than ten seconds.
