KONG - Gyro - Interactive Treat Dispensing Dog Toy - For Large Dogs

Firstly, my dogs are not chewers. They have never gnawed through any toy ever.I got the large size, though it was much chunkier than expected and my dogs are small terrier breeds. But this actually seems to have the added advantage that it's too big for them to pick up in their mouth and drop/crack/smash on the laminate floor. However, it is not at all heavy, so the dogs can push it about easily enough and it doesn't bang or clatter if flipped over.The ball in the large gyro is just a bit bigger than a large tennis ball. It has a finger sized hole for the food to drop out of. This hole has a staggered lip on the inside, which makes it a bit more challenging for the dog to get the food out. It also seems to stop the hole getting blocked, and prevents too much food falling out at once.One of my dogs is a smart cookie. The other one is . . . not. But both seem to have a good time with this toy, though they were initially a bit tentative of the size. Temptation soon won out, and they get braver with the toy each time they play with it.The ball unscrews to put the food in, and for cleaning. It screws and unscrews easily by hand, but the dogs have not managed to accidentally open it (something cheaper puzzle balls do, which spoils the fun). The red belt is a hard plastic, but light. It's too big for my little dogs to get their teeth around, but I could imagine this being an issue for bigger dogs that chew. KONG should probably release a heavy duty version with a red ring made of the same tough chewable rubber as it's original KONG range.The red ring is a hard, hollow plastic. The blue ball is a hard, transparent plastic. You can see how much kibble is inside the ball without needing to open it. It is surprisingly light.My two chihuahua X JRTs love shoving this toy around the kitchen with their noses, or smacking it about with their paws. It works well on smooth floors or low pile carpets. They're too small to pick it up, but they do gain quite a turn of speed on a smooth floor. The Gyro has been smacked about with paws and bashed into the walls a lot, but it doesn't seem to have taken any damage. It also hasn't left any damage on the hard furnishings. Always a bonus!It's really easy to clean and dry.A big hit with the furkids.

I already had one fir our lab but needed another for our puppy , absolutly brilliant best kong toy ever , durable, great size and perfect for play and treats , easily filled with food or treats

I have a love for this brand. Some fantastic products. This not being one. Outer rubber ring is fantastic! Same kong quality as one would expect. Blue ball was dismantled and destroyed within 10 minutes of opening by a 5 month old labrador. Rendering the entire product ultimately useless. Had to take it off her to avoid any potential damages to the dog.Thoroughly unimpressed. This was only delivered a few hours ago and has been on my desk since. Zero stars would be applied if possible.UPDATE: Did take out the blue ball completely and left her with the rubber outer ring. No, absolutely do not do this. The ring is hollow and easily broken. Leaves pretty sharp shards that actually cut her mouth. This is the last time i get anything from the brand i once had so much love/trust for. Disgusting.

Good for feeding my dog her dry food stops her eating too fast this is the 2nd one over the years very pleased

Great to keep my cocker entertained for some time, put cucumber, cheers, chicken in. However he’s learnt it’s easier to unscrew the top than chase it around. He unscrews it himself and eats all the contents no problem, no matter how tight the top is screwed on. He’s decided the contents isn’t all HES interested in, and has wrecked the outer ring, chewed it completely. The image shows the condition after 1/2 hour of play only

My dog is addicted to this toy. He has so much fun getting the treats out of this and it slows down the speed he eats them! It is very strong and tough so is clearly very good quality. It does make a bit of noise when bouncing around on the floor but for the joy my dog gets it is worth it. Its very easy to re-fill... and that is the story of how my dog became obsessed with this toy

Every dog I’ve bought this for (including my own) are obsessed with this toy!! It’s very durable and even the sharpest razors of puppy teeth have barely made a scratch! There’s a hole in the centre of the ball to put treats into, we use chopped carrots/ chicken and then let the dog go wild. It’s the only toy that has kept our dog entertained for so long!! Our dog is a Cockapoo and very intelligent, so usually brain toys are finished quickly, this one is the one we use when we need more than 5 minutes to relax. Even when there’s no treats in there, our pup will take it out of her box to play with.I recommend this to anyone who has a dog.

Idea if the toy is great bought for our 10 month old GSD within half an hour he had emptied the treats but also chewed through the red outer ring, not the right materials used for this part of toy and he had opened the blue inner ball part twice in this time ,disappointed 🙁
