The Product

The Twist ‘n Treat is the first and only 2-piece adjustable rubber treat dispensing toy. The rate of treat dispersal can be adjusted to suit the interest and ability of the dog.

How it Works

  • 1) When first introducing the toy to your dog, we suggest leaving enough space in the opening to allow treats to fall our regularly, so your dog can "win the game."
  • 2) Once your dog plays successfully with the Twist 'n Treat, you can screw the opening tighter to extend the length of play.
  • 3) The adjustable opening allows the Twist 'n Treat to be filled with a variety of hard, soft, and smear-able treats.

Features:

  • NOT recommended for strong chewers
  • Available in 4 sizes (see sizing chart above)
  • First 2-piece adjustable rubber toy that dispenses treats
  • Made of natural rubber
  • Ideal for dogs under 20 pounds
  • Adjust the rate of treat dispersal to suit your pet
  • Treats sold separately

Important information

Directions

Twist 'n Treat is a patented toy that unscrews for easy loading of treats and fast clean up. The adjustable opening allows for a variety of treats from peanut butter to cheese bits to kibble. Best of all, the opening can be adjusted wider for easier access to treats or close it down for longer playtime. Dishwasher safe. Size: Medium recommended for Yorkies, Poms, Shih Tzus, etc. Medium recommended for Cockers, Beagles, Shelties, etc. Large recommended for Labs, Goldens, Rotties, etc. Comes in assorted colors, please allow us to choose for you. Thank you. Twist N' Treat works well when filled with Simply Wild Pet Food.

We have two Border Aussies - one is 12 years old and the other one is three months old. We had a few treat dispensers the older one loved playing with, but the puppy wasn’t strong or big enough to handle yet.So, I purchased this toy in hopes of getting our puppy the treat dispensing experience - a little more her size. It’s very soft, chewable (yet chew proof), rubbery material, yet, it’s tough and durable.Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans… So, as it turns out, the older Aussie loves this toy. She is also the only one strong enough to bend it in such a manner to get the treats out.However, that does not deter the puppy one single bit. Our puppy never gives up! And I do mean, never!!They take turns chewing on it, and running with it. When one of them drops it for a second and gets distracted, the other one picks it up and takes off. It’s become a highly entertaining toy at our house.What I love about this toy is the versatility. Both senior dog and puppy absolutely love it. You can roll it, you can toss it, you can spin it. They play with anytime they get a chance.I’ve put treats inside, peanut butter, and most the time it’s just regular old dog food. I don’t think they care what I fill it with, as long as they are rewarded somehow for their determination.It is so small that sometimes it will get lodged beneath the piece of furniture or the couch, and I’ll have to go hunting for it to fill it for them.When they’re done playing with it, and I find it lying in a lonely corner. I pick it up and put it on the counter until the next time I notice they need a distraction. This keeps it interesting and fresh for them, and makes it easy for me to find to fill.It’s so affordable, and it’s been such a fun addition to doggy playtime at our house. I hope it works out just as well for you and your furry friend!

Update 09/11/2020
After a few weeks of use and washes, I can confirm that the toy still has an overpowering smell. I have a very weak sense of smell and yet I can smell it across a room. very strong and cloy. Reducing a star.
Not sure why a pet treat toy would have such an overpowering smell. The pets are supposed to be able to smell their treats through it!

Original review
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the royal decree of her highness, it was decided that a treat dispensing toy is required. However the ones we ve bought in the past have been duly hated because mostly they are hard plastic and make a LOT of noise on non carpeted floors. To her highness, those sounds are the rattle of a death machine ready to take her life any minute. No kind of high value treat is good enough to put her life on the line.

GOOD FIT
Her royal highness is around 18 KGs. Medium size bought as per package directions, fits perfectly.

THIS BARELY MAKES ANY SOUND
This however is made of mystery 'rubber'(synthetic or otherwise, unknown). Therefore has pretty much low thump on hard floors. WIN! As you can see, her highness immediately took the charge of treat dispensing duties, usually delegated to the slaves.

ADJUSTABLE SLIT SIZE
Let me just start by saying that I havent seen a more practical application of adjustable opening. not many toys are designed for irregular sized treats and in other cases, teh size adjustment is irreversible. I absolutely love the adjustment feature. Simple and practical.

THIS IS NOT FOR AGGRESSIVE CHEWERS
The toy is relatively soft(felt softer than Red kong) and could break easily on the internal pivot point(screw). Her highness believes in small and soft royal bites, with her fully grown and functional royal teeth. Not like the plebs slobbering over a toy and chewing it like they've never seen a treat in life.

NOT ODOURLESS OUT OF THE BOX
I am not sure why but unfortunately pet product manufacturers seem to drop the ball when it comes to odours. This came in reeking strongly of 'rubber'. thankfully one wash with dish soap almost sorted that out. I would seem that the odour would be gone within a few washes.
