“Solidly made and arrived very fast. I recommend it, though for very large dogs it will be on the small side.”
“Ideal for cooling my dog down and making him frozen treats. Works just as shown.”
“I love this. A cool toy for my puppy and great for the hot summers.”
“It arrived small but really high quality.”
“It really works. My dog kept licking it non-stop for about 5 minutes.”
“So far so good. Good quality orange set, the ball and silicone tray are easy to fill and use.”
“Even though it works, the part that acts as the lid and holds the ball comes loose very easily; the little clips meant to hold it are too small and don't grip well. But for the price it works fine. I should note my dog is a large breed.”
“My little dog loved it! The plastic of the ball is thin so it's good to supervise during use.”
“A picture is worth a thousand words. He couldn't have liked it more, he's been entertained for over half an hour.”
“Small but it does its job.”
“For a small dog it's perfect. Mine weighs 40 kg so it's a little small for him, but the function itself is perfect. The ball gets coated when they lick it and keeps them entertained.”
“Smaller than expected, but I still gave 4 stars since the quality is acceptable and the size is in the description.”
“This is actually a really good toy, pleasantly surprised.”
“I put yogurt in it and they lick it up nicely, haha. It gets rid of boredom too, awesome.”
“Everything perfect, thank you very much.”
“My dog loves it and stays entertained.”
“Haven't tried it yet, but I already have a lot of dog toys at home and this is nice for some variety, even during mealtime. It makes eating more exciting and fun for them.”
“Very good, it's a bit hard to open but fine.”
“The product looks in very good condition, just need to try it.”
“My dog absolutely loves this with Greek yogurt. Fantastic product”
“It’s very small, like for a tiny puppy or a chihuahua. But it works and my dachshund likes it”
“It's small, like for a tiny puppy or a chihuahua, but it works and my dachshund likes it.”
“Very good, my baby loved it.”
“Suitable for a small dog.”
“Pretty and easy to use, but the yellow ball is hollow, which makes me doubt how durable it will be over time.”
“Just like the picture. A lifesaver for keeping my little dog entertained while I go out to shop or work.”
“Very good, sturdy and good quality material, identical to the listing.”
“Looks good, just haven't tried it yet.”
“Super useful, my little dog loved it a lot.”
“Just as described. A little hard to open but it does its job perfectly, my dog loves it.”
“Very entertaining, the only thing is not all the food you put in comes out.”
“My kitty liked it, no problem adapting to it.”
“As described, for small dogs”
“Good size, good material, the only thing is it's a bit hard for the little ball to spin, it jams when the churu is very thick.”
“The little bowl is good. It's just more suited to small and medium dogs, but it's fine for my German Shepherd too. If you choose pâté, dilute it with water. So lactose-free yogurt or vegetable puree is better.”
“My dog loved it, it really helped her de-stress! Totally worth it. She's a border collie. I used plain yogurt.”
“The ball is quite sturdy. They love the toy and it keeps them very entertained. Highly recommended.”
“My dog absolutely loves it, thank you.”
“Excellent product. Well built, good quality silicone. My dog spent half an hour happily licking the liver 'popsicle' we put inside, with no mess.”
“It's really top. Only for a small dog.”
“everything is ok, I recommend it”
“Everything perfect, just like the picture.”
“Good for keeping my dog occupied.”
“Meets expectations, well made.”
“Works great. My dog loves it and it really tires her out.”
“The pieces come loose very easily and my little dog takes the dish apart without any trouble.”
“It's exactly as described, works well and is easy for any dog.”
“I had already bought one to try. It keeps my dog entertained and is a good alternative to the famous Kong. I bought a second for my other dog.”
“Very good material, it's thick and works perfectly. For my German Shepherd it's a little small, but the quality is excellent.”
“The product isn't bad, it's just a bit small, suitable for small breeds.”
“The product is very good and they get entertained a lot.”
“Cute, easy to use and clean, my dogs love it.”
“The dog likes it. Keeps him busy.”
“It does its job and is easy to use. It's small and easy to move around when the dog uses it.”
“I received it ahead of time, it's a small size for a small dog, it closes very well and the ball in the middle does move. When I put in the apple puree I'll take a photo so you can see it, and to check if it works.”
“My cats enjoy eating the churu in it.”
“It’s easy to take apart to clean. It’s a little flimsy but over all I think my dog is going to love it.”
“very good,my dog loves it”
“He's very entertained with it. Very easy to use and clean.”
“My dog loves it. I even ordered a second one.”
“It's perfect, exactly as advertised. It has rubber on the bottom that keeps it from sliding, the size is ideal, and it comes apart easily to clean. Hope it keeps my cats entertained.”
“Great way to feed your cat, good product.”
“It's super tiny, my dog loves it.”
“My Golden loved licking the frozen watermelon inside the ball!”
“I bought it for my dog to help ease his anxiety. With a bit of yogurt he spends about 10 minutes trying to eat it all, though you do have to open it to push out the bit that stays at the edge where he can't reach. Shipping was fast.”
“My dog totally approves. I'm going to order a second one.”
“It looks good. I did have some trouble unscrewing it once I put it together. It's a Christmas gift so not used yet.”
“My dogs loved it, they played with it for 30 minutes.”
“It's great! My dogs loved it straight away, and it's easy to clean too.”
“Material is nice and soft. Not recommended for dogs that bite and tear rather than just lick, but my two calm dogs do great with it.”
“My girl really loves it. She is about 30 kg, a large dog, and she can spend 15 to 30 minutes distracted with it. It's easy to twist off and clean. Highly recommend, especially if your dog loves chewing.”
“Just like the listing, very good.”
For the dog who can't seem to switch off, this is the half-hour of quiet you've both been missing. A frozen treat taps straight into the urge to lick and work for a reward, so a restless pup settles on their mat instead of pacing, pestering, or melting down on a hot afternoon or a stormy night.
Here's why it works: slow, steady licking is naturally soothing for dogs and releases calming endorphins, while the puzzle of chasing a frozen treat through the ball tires out a busy mind. You fill the tray, freeze it overnight, and pop the frozen treat into the ball. What's left is a calm, focused dog and twenty to forty minutes of real peace.
- Squeeze-open rubber ball, about 2.8 in (7.2 cm), with open "drool slots" so they can see and reach the treat inside
- 4-cavity freezing tray for prepping treats ahead, made from 100% food-grade, BPA-free silicone
- Fill it with whatever they love: plain unsweetened yogurt, broth, peanut butter, or wet food (no xylitol)
- Comes apart in seconds for an easy rinse or dishwasher; the tray pops frozen treats out cleanly
- Best for dogs under 60 lbs, so check your dog's size before you order
This is a feeding and enrichment toy, not a chew toy, so keep it for supervised treat time and take it back once the treat is gone. Start with a small portion the first time to see how your dog does with a new filling.

Good questions
Before you buy.
Will this actually calm my dog down?
Licking is naturally self-soothing for dogs, releasing calming endorphins, so a frozen treat turns into 20 to 40 minutes of quiet, focused work. It is genuinely useful for summer heat, storms, fireworks, or anxious vet days.
Is it easy to clean?
Yes. The rubber ball twists apart in the middle and the silicone tray pops the frozen treats out, so both rinse clean easily. Owners specifically mention how simple it is to take apart and wash.
What size dog is this for?
It is best for dogs under 60 lbs, meaning small and medium breeds (roughly 10 to 60 lbs). For dogs over 60 lbs we would not recommend it, since the ball is sized for smaller mouths.
Is it a chew toy?
No, it is a feeding and enrichment toy, not a chew toy, so please supervise your dog while they use it. It is built for licking the frozen treat out, not for hard gnawing.
What goes inside it, and what comes in the set?
You get one natural rubber ball plus one food-grade silicone tray with four cavities. Fill the tray with plain yogurt, bone broth, xylitol-free peanut butter, or wet food, freeze overnight, then twist a frozen treat into the ball.
What if my dog does not take to it?
It is backed by our 30-day guarantee, and shipping is free. Start with a thin, easy-to-reach filling like plain yogurt so the first try is simple and rewarding.
