Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a veterinary technician, and was able to purchase 2 of these for less than half the price at a veterinary conference's Premier Pet products booth. I have 2 veeery food-motivated cats that will eat until they vomit if allowed. I just can't free-feed them: they will sit at their bowls ALL DAY. They inhale their food. They get fed a healthy amount of food 3 times a day, and will clean their bowls each time.
I purchased this product to help keep them from eating so fast and to stimulate their hunting instincts. This toy is nice in the fact that it is 2 lids that screw to one another: you choose how tightly you screw them together, and that will determine how easily the food/treats slides out of the toy-you can tighten them all the way so that the food only slides out through the 2 holes on each side of the toy, or leave a gap so that it can slide out between the lids as well. The first time, I set them up so that the two lids had a fairly wide opening between them, to allow the dry kibble to slide out easily. My husband and myself sat with our 2 hungry kitties to show them how to use the toys. It took them about 5 minutes to figure out that if they batted the toys around, they would get a treat. I am now able to screw the toys together so that the kibble only falls out of the holes. It still only takes my 2 felines about 15 minutes to get all the kibble out, but they really enjoy these toys. They come running whenever they hear me pick them up!
However, I would only recommend this for extremely food-motivated cats that will do anything to eat (mine have been known to learn how to open cabinets for food!). Our 3rd cat is very laid back about her meals, prefering to nibble over extended periods of time, and was not at all interested in this toy, even when offered when hungry. She preferred watching us bat the toy around for her and eating the kibble as it dropped-we couldn't get her to play with it herself. *lol*
The toys fit about a 1/4 cup of dry food. Not enough to keep little monsters like mine busy all day, but enough so that I can re-fill them more than once throughout the day without having to worry about my cats gaining weight. A very good product-it is well made, and the plastic is solid: it can take a beating.
