WOOF Party Pupsicle - Long-Lasting Interactive Dog Toys for Boredom - Low-Mess Design - Birthday Gifts for Dogs - Large Dog Toys - Party Pink

I purchased both a large and an extra largePupsicle. My dogs love them. They know they get them at bedtime for a treat. When they are done with them they remain quiet and go off to sleep. I don’t know what I did without them before I found them. They are great!

My 6mo. puppy (GSD mix) loves this thing. It definitely doesn't make her chill though. She picks it up in her mouth and sprints around the house, or rolls it like a ball and runs around after it, with short breaks to lick the treat. Great for when I want her entertained—not great for when I want her to be quiet.

So far, I have no complaints. I can see that this toy might not work well for some combinations of dogs and people, but for my two current dogs (blue heeler and small terrier), this thing, plus the treat mold, is GREAT!I love that the dogs get it more or less fully emptied, and it is washable. I love that I can pre-prepare a whole bunch of frozen fillings by using the treat mold (sold separately).Yes, I agree that this is a very expensive item, especially if you buy the treat mold along with the toy. I bought two toys at a very reduced price on Prime day, also bought the treat mold at full price, and consider the combined purchase a great value at this cost. The current price (for the toy) is comparable to the cost of an extra-large Toppl, and I've seen it at a price similar to the current cost of a large Toppl. I checked the current price of the XXL "extreme" Kong I needed to use for one dog, and the current price on a different web site is almost the same as the Woof Pupsicle.To answer questions and issues I've seen mentioned...* My terrier weighs 16 pounds and uses the large toy with no problem. Possibly it is minimally less thoroughly cleaned out, but I'm not positive about that. My only warning would be that you ought to keep track of calories and/or what you put in it because you could potentially give a small dog way too many empty calories from "junk food."* The toy is still usable without the treat mold. Just fill up the solid half of the toy and stick it in the freezer overnight, same as you would do with a Kong, except it takes up less space.* Do introduce it properly, by initially giving it with NON-frozen and sticky food in it. An even more slow, careful, step-wise introduction may be necessary if your dog is a destructo-dog.* The terrier takes about 20 minutes to empty it of frozen canned dog food. That's non-trivial, and I'm not sure why people are complaining. The heeler takes less time (maybe 15 minutes?), but it's still an amount of time that is helpful for me, and this licking activity seems to be especially calming for her (as compared to using the food puzzle toys with kibble).* It initially was extremely difficult to open and close the thing. I was best able to do it with a "light" touch, not pulling and making sure not to press the two surfaces together. After not very long, it became much easier. I didn't need to use oil. If you have trouble getting it closed, it became a lot easier after the solid part was frozen (while the vented part stayed at room temperature).* I agree with others that a larger version might be nice, but a larger version might make dogs more likely to destroy the toy in place of emptying it by focused licking.* I'm not sure that any of these toys are truly indestructible. People are mentioning Kongs. Well, my Kongs have required periodic replacement. They have tooth marks and eventually get "modified" to where pieces might get torn off and consumed. For one dog, I had to upgrade to the XXL-size Extreme (black) version, and she also put tooth marks in that.I own a fortune's worth of Kongs, Toppls, and a couple similar food toys, and they all have their issues. They have holes in them that allow liquid to immediately come out (before freezing occurs). They are bulky and use up a lot of space in the freezer, and the unusual shapes make them non-stackable. For me, Kong toys are time-consuming to fill and difficult to clean. My dogs couldn't get the very end cleaned out without throwing the Kong around (making a big mess), and even then it wasn't fully clean. Some did end up with mold in that part of them. [It looks like new inventions, like plugs (or something like that), may solve some of the problems; I didn't have those.]I mention the other toys only to say that this unique brilliant toy has seeming solved all those problems, and my dogs truly LOVE this toy as well. Be assured, I will update this review if anything changes.

The media could not be loaded. Update: I have to take one star away, I have multiple ones and I still love them, but some of them are so extremely hard to open that I want to through them out. I have used their suggestions with adding Olive Oil of easier opening, which only helps a little bit and has to be applied every single time, I have rolled them on the counter, I have let them sit in warm water, some are just impossible. I don't know if the colors play a role, but the green one was best, purple is decent, the baby blue one drove me insane. I don't know if I will reorder, which is sad because I generally love the rest of the product.Great for our 4-month big breed pup.We freeze her wet food and then pop it inside. This keeps her busy for 30+ minutes — perfect distraction when we sit down to eat.The rubber feels really sturdy for teething and she loves chewing on it.Only downside: one of ours twists open easily (the green one), the other (baby blue) is really stiff (olive oil helps, but I have to apply it daily which is a bit annoying). Still, it’s so durable, low-mess, and works as a chew, lick toy, and feeder all in one.Honestly great product! We’ll definitely keep buying these.

Great for my dog, pain in the butt for me. The sound of this item is great, truly. My dog loves it was more than a Kong. The issue arises when you try to screw on or off of the stop. It gets stuck, it won’t close completely. And if you have any arthritis in your hands? Might as well give up. I have tried all the tricks: hand washing, making sure not to grip it too hard when twisting it apart, hot or cold temperature, greasing it with canola oil or coconut oil. I just spent 20 minutes trying to unscrew the top after I already needed to use coconut oil to screw it on in the first place. I have three and have the same issues with all of them. It’s so frustrating because it’s a good idea of a product.And I have issues with my hands, so it’s not disability friendly. Just a heads up for anyone else with grip issues.

Our dogs absolutely love these treats, they last a good 30 minutes for our dogs, however our dogs are not destructive, there are reviews of dogs chewing them to point they cannot be used, so keep that in mind.Ignore the reviews saying you cannot open them after use, it’s common sense you need to wash them before the sticky treat dries causing that issue. We love them and will continue to purchase.

helps my dog with separation anxiety. i use 4 of these when i leave the house. i fill one with frozen pumpkin (i use the pupsicle mold0 and the other 3 i fill with broken dog biscuits smeared with some peanut butter. prior to using these i had to put a belly band on my 65lb pitty as he would pee when i left him....now so far 80% success of no peeing when i leave him with the 4 filled pupsicles. hand wash them. i put 2 in the dishwasher and they became hard to screw the lid on. i use some olive oil spray on the 2 from the dishwasher and they easily close that way.
