WOOF Pupsicle - Long-Lasting Interactive Dog Toy to Keep Your Pup Busy and Distracted - Safe for Dogs - Low-Mess Design - Dog Toys for Small Dogs 10-25 lbs

I purchased both a large and an extra largePupsicle. My dogs love them. They know they get them at bedtime for a treat. When they are done with them they remain quiet and go off to sleep. I don’t know what I did without them before I found them. They are great!

The media could not be loaded. My 4 month old Golden Mountain Dog puppy loved this! I made my own recipe for the food inside (mashed sweet potato & plain Greek yogurt) and froze it using the molds from the same company. It kept her busy for 15 minutes, which is a difficult feat for most enrichment items. She calmed down after licking it for a couple minutes, and moved from standing to lying down while eating it. Licking is a great calming activity for dogs, so this was perfect. My puppy is over 30 pounds and I got the large size, which was great for her. When she’s full grown I’ll probably have to size up. It feels well made, is sturdy, and is easy to clean. I plan to use this with her every day now!

So far, I have no complaints. I can see that this toy might not work well for some combinations of dogs and people, but for my two current dogs (blue heeler and small terrier), this thing, plus the treat mold, is GREAT!I love that the dogs get it more or less fully emptied, and it is washable. I love that I can pre-prepare a whole bunch of frozen fillings by using the treat mold (sold separately).Yes, I agree that this is a very expensive item, especially if you buy the treat mold along with the toy. I bought two toys at a very reduced price on Prime day, also bought the treat mold at full price, and consider the combined purchase a great value at this cost. The current price (for the toy) is comparable to the cost of an extra-large Toppl, and I've seen it at a price similar to the current cost of a large Toppl. I checked the current price of the XXL "extreme" Kong I needed to use for one dog, and the current price on a different web site is almost the same as the Woof Pupsicle.To answer questions and issues I've seen mentioned...* My terrier weighs 16 pounds and uses the large toy with no problem. Possibly it is minimally less thoroughly cleaned out, but I'm not positive about that. My only warning would be that you ought to keep track of calories and/or what you put in it because you could potentially give a small dog way too many empty calories from "junk food."* The toy is still usable without the treat mold. Just fill up the solid half of the toy and stick it in the freezer overnight, same as you would do with a Kong, except it takes up less space.* Do introduce it properly, by initially giving it with NON-frozen and sticky food in it. An even more slow, careful, step-wise introduction may be necessary if your dog is a destructo-dog.* The terrier takes about 20 minutes to empty it of frozen canned dog food. That's non-trivial, and I'm not sure why people are complaining. The heeler takes less time (maybe 15 minutes?), but it's still an amount of time that is helpful for me, and this licking activity seems to be especially calming for her (as compared to using the food puzzle toys with kibble).* It initially was extremely difficult to open and close the thing. I was best able to do it with a "light" touch, not pulling and making sure not to press the two surfaces together. After not very long, it became much easier. I didn't need to use oil. If you have trouble getting it closed, it became a lot easier after the solid part was frozen (while the vented part stayed at room temperature).* I agree with others that a larger version might be nice, but a larger version might make dogs more likely to destroy the toy in place of emptying it by focused licking.* I'm not sure that any of these toys are truly indestructible. People are mentioning Kongs. Well, my Kongs have required periodic replacement. They have tooth marks and eventually get "modified" to where pieces might get torn off and consumed. For one dog, I had to upgrade to the XXL-size Extreme (black) version, and she also put tooth marks in that.I own a fortune's worth of Kongs, Toppls, and a couple similar food toys, and they all have their issues. They have holes in them that allow liquid to immediately come out (before freezing occurs). They are bulky and use up a lot of space in the freezer, and the unusual shapes make them non-stackable. For me, Kong toys are time-consuming to fill and difficult to clean. My dogs couldn't get the very end cleaned out without throwing the Kong around (making a big mess), and even then it wasn't fully clean. Some did end up with mold in that part of them. [It looks like new inventions, like plugs (or something like that), may solve some of the problems; I didn't have those.]I mention the other toys only to say that this unique brilliant toy has seeming solved all those problems, and my dogs truly LOVE this toy as well. Be assured, I will update this review if anything changes.

First ImpressionsI bought the Pupsicle for our new rescue dog who was very nervous whenever we had to leave the house. Right out of the box it felt sturdy and well-made, and I liked that it wasn’t just another cheap chew toy.⸻Setup & Ease of UseI went with the premade treat inserts to start, which made it super simple — just pop one in and hand it over. It’s also dishwasher-safe, which is a huge win for me since I don’t want to deal with scrubbing peanut butter out of toys.⸻Performance in Real LifeShe loves it. The Pupsicle has kept her occupied and calm, which has really helped her acclimate to her new home. Instead of pacing or whining when we leave, she settles down with this toy and stays busy.⸻Pros & ConsPros:• Helps reduce anxiety for nervous dogs• Very durable and solid• Easy to clean (dishwasher safe)• Premade inserts make it effortlessCons:• On the heavier side, so probably best for medium+ dogs• Inserts are convenient but add a little extra cost⸻Who It’s ForPerfect for new dog owners, rescues, or anyone with a dog who needs a healthy distraction when left alone.⸻Final VerdictThe Pupsicle has made a noticeable difference for our rescue pup. It’s durable, easy to use, and has genuinely helped her feel more at ease in her new environment. Highly recommend.

Great for my dog, pain in the butt for me. The sound of this item is great, truly. My dog loves it was more than a Kong. The issue arises when you try to screw on or off of the stop. It gets stuck, it won’t close completely. And if you have any arthritis in your hands? Might as well give up. I have tried all the tricks: hand washing, making sure not to grip it too hard when twisting it apart, hot or cold temperature, greasing it with canola oil or coconut oil. I just spent 20 minutes trying to unscrew the top after I already needed to use coconut oil to screw it on in the first place. I have three and have the same issues with all of them. It’s so frustrating because it’s a good idea of a product.And I have issues with my hands, so it’s not disability friendly. Just a heads up for anyone else with grip issues.

My 6mo. puppy (GSD mix) loves this thing. It definitely doesn't make her chill though. She picks it up in her mouth and sprints around the house, or rolls it like a ball and runs around after it, with short breaks to lick the treat. Great for when I want her entertained—not great for when I want her to be quiet.
