GiGwi Red Bulb Natural Rubber Treat-Dispensing Dog Toy - Medium

The GiGwi Red Bulb Natural Rubber Treat-Dispensing Dog Toy is a hollow rubber bulb you stuff with food. Your dog then has to work at it to get anything out, which turns thirty seconds of eating into twenty minutes of problem-solving. GiGwi make it from 100% natural rubber and say it meets European and American environmental quality standards.

Key Features

• Stuffable: Fill the hollow centre with kibble, paste or treats and let your dog work it out.
• Natural rubber: GiGwi specify 100% natural rubber, and state compliance with European and American environmental quality standards.
• Textured outside: Multiple textured surfaces give a dog grip and work at the teeth while they chew.
• Slows eating down: Useful for dogs who gulp a bowl of food in seconds.
• Medium: One size, suited to medium dogs.

What To Stuff It With

• Start easy -- loose kibble that falls out -- so your dog learns the toy pays off.
• Make it harder by packing it tighter, or wedging a larger treat in the opening.
• Count whatever you put in as part of the day's food, not on top of it.
• Freezing a stuffed toy makes it last much longer, and helps a teething puppy or a dog left alone.
• Wash it after every use. Food residue inside a rubber toy goes off, and it smells.

Good For

• Dogs who eat too fast.
• Crate training and short periods alone.
• Rainy days when a dog needs tiring out mentally rather than physically.

Good To Know

• This one is out of stock at the moment, so the page is here for reference while we wait on the next delivery.
• A natural rubber toy will not survive a dedicated power chewer forever. Replace it once it is gouged or split.
• Do not use it as the only way your dog gets fed, and keep an eye on the calories going into it.
• No toy is indestructible. Check it over before every session and bin it once it splits, frays or starts shedding pieces, because swallowed fragments cause blockages.
• Not a children's toy. Keep it with the pet's things.
