WAY better than expected!!!
I actually didn't pick this toy originally, BarkBox sent it to me as a replacement for something. It's not important to get into how that came around but what is important to note is that I didn't really want the toy to begin with, but boy am I glad this ended up being my only option!!! My pup Jordi gets through puzzle toys and that type of thing really quickly, so it's hard to keep him occupied for long periods of time. I fill this toy with pumpkin puree or water + kibble and freeze it to make a giant ice cube full of treats and he LOVES it. It keeps him occupied for 30 minutes to an hour sometimes. The shape of it makes it easy for him to grip, and it's deep enough with a small enough opening that it's kind of a challenge for him to lick it clean. It is super easy to wash by hand or in the dishwasher. I really really recommend this toy and am sorry that I was EVER skeptical about it!
For reference, Jordi is a 37-pound mini bernedoodle, about 11 months.
One extra note about the scent: It said it's supposed to be scented and I don't really smell the "butter" scent they said it was supposed to be, but I don't really care and I'm sure Jordi doesn't care either. It has a pleasant dog-toy-rubber kind of scent.
