Bob-a-lot of fun! A treat dispensing toy for your dog.

We have so much fun as #ChewyInfluencer, and this time we got to review a really great toy! Petey had so much fun with this. If you're looking for a toy for your dog that is a lot of fun and keeps him moving and active this is it! The Starmark Treat Dispensing Bob-a-lot ! Think Weeble that spits out treats. If your dog is food motivated, or just enjoys a puzzle, he's going to love this toy. Just unscrew the top, fill with treats, open the little door at the bottom and go! We tested this toy with Pete. He bopped it all over with his nose and paw. Loved it and got every bit of kibble out and had a bob-a-lot of fun!   It's great for slow feeding and reducing boredom. You can even customize the difficulty level. This toy is sturdy too. Pete has carried it around in his mouth, batted at it, dropped it and chewed on it and it holds up! Next we let Ernest have a turn. Oh well, some dogs just don't know how to have fun. Check out the Bob-a-lot on Chewy.com . They'll ship it...

I weighed the bundle, washed it in synthrapol and mordanted it in a solution of 20% wog (weight of goods) of alum and 6% wog cream of tart...
