WOOF Pupsicle – Long-Lasting Interactive Dog Toy to Keep Your Pup Distracted – Safe for Dogs – Low-Mess Design – Dog Toys for Large Dogs 25-75 lbs

A Hit!
A friend recommended this, and I’ve not only bought one, but a total of five it was such a hit. I bought three for my guy’s place and two for mine, ensuring all dogs had their own. They love them. The WOOF Pupsicle is easy to load with their treats, or if you have the time and inclination to make your own (you can buy trays from them). Our dogs are aggressive chewers and go through the toughest chews in a matter of minutes. But the WOOF Pupsicle keeps them entertained, engaged, and busy for at least 20 minutes (a miracle).I found the WOOF Pupsicle easy to open and clean. I pop them in the top rack of the dishwasher, and they come out looking brand new. They are durable and safe. I highly recommend them.

Keeps dogs busy and engaged
The Pupsicle is nicely made durable toy that provides 20 plus minutes of entertainment and engagement for my dog. I love how easy it is to use. My dogs are 65lbs one is a lab mix and the other is a golden retriever both dogs stay engaged the entire time with this toy. No mess and super simple to use and clean.

Like unto the Holy Grail of food toys. [I recommend buying the separate treat mold, too.]
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.

Warps over Time
This is the second one I bought. They become warped with use. IDK if it is because I wash with hot water or what, but that should not warp the thread. Once the tread for the screw-type mechanism gets warped eve a little, it is impossible to open or close it anymore, rendering it useless. If that design flaw could be solved, it would be a great toy because it is durable and keeps him entertained because the inside treat ball is so tasty.

Good product. Smaller than expected though

This is excellent when filled and used with the frozen moulds of yoghurt or peanut butter.Keeps my 9 month heavy chewer labrador pup busy for sometime – especially useful when sitting down to lunch/supper.However you do have to take it away once finished sucking the frozen contents as he would destroy if left with it. After 2 uses it has some deep teeth marks where he has tried to open it.
