KONG - Ballistic Hide 'n Treat - Medium (Assorted Colors)

This is so fun. My dog is still working on figuring it out, but I'm really excited to have a treat toy that is soft enough for her to pick up and walk around with (trying to teach her to walk with a toy in her mouth!). The only problem I've had so far is that the velcro has a REALLY strong hold, but it's very fragile, especially compared to the canvas material that the majority of the toy is made of. The very first time I gave it to her, she was trying to figure out how to open it, and when she pushed on the opening a tooth went right through the velcro. It still works fine, but just watch carefully when their mouth is close to the velcro parts. The rest has held up to gentle chewing as she feels her way around it.

This is an excellent product for mental stimulation, problem solving and entertainment for your dog! My Italian greyhound is an anxious boy, and my trainer recommends numerous treat hiding toys. He chews and destroys soft toys quickly, and I don’t always want him eating lots of calories, so this is an amazing option. He literally went “ballistic”! Love it and can’t wait to check out some other products in the ballistic line. King has been among our top choices so far due to its superior durability. As long as your dog has a snout (our pug won’t be able to use it well), it should be well-worth the investment!

I was not able to find the original Lotus Ball in a medium size for my 55# dog. I have used a friend's before and my dog, who has no concept of what a toy is, quickly picked up on being interested in the Lotus Ball, following it, and even bringing it to me, when properly used with treats. So I ordered this as Kong toys are usually very sturdy and good quality. It seems sturdy but the design of it just doesn't seem to provide a very good closure that also allows the dog easy enough access to the interior. So far, my dog has shown no interest in it other than to get the treats. It may improve with use and time.

There was no indication of what color I would get. Image was red but I got green one so apparently you can’t pick. My dog likes the toy. Keeps him occupied. The Velcro like closure doesn’t completely sea it shut so small bite size nibbles can fall out the hole in the top. But mostly I like it.

I purchased this toy to build my puppy’s toy drive for search and rescue training. She is very treat driven so because there is a treat inside of it she will bark a lot to get this toy. My goal when getting this toy was to get her to bark for a toy. Now she barks for all of her toys! It’s a great concept and can be used for training. The Velcro did wear out fast but it still does it’s job. It holds together just long enough her to work a little to get the treat out.

Doesn't live up to Kong brand. My dog has already removed the stuffing and chewed it up after only less than a month. Velcro easy for dog to solve treat problem. I guess I should have known once seeing the product cloth and stuffing won't last, but thought it would last longer.

My pup loves the toy because she has to work at getting the treats out. It has been helpful to keep with me when attending agility training classes with my dog.

Not strong enough for certain dogs

Dog loves this toy. Does not take long until they figure it out though. Still a fun and useful purchase.

Es mas grande de lo que imaginaba, la calidad del producto es excelente, a mi mascota le encanto tiene varios compartimientos para esconder premios el material que viene hecho es bastante resistente.

Great product - keeps pup occupied even after she's figured out how to open it - she gets quicker but still enjoys playing with it as a way to find treats.

Great toy, mini poodle loved it, but a little up easy to open.

It got chewed up within a few weeks and was too easy for the dog to get out treats
