Tricky Treats Ball Dog Toy by Omega PawPrice:
$16.99
The Tricky Treats ball rewards your dog for vigorous play. Simply fill the cavity with bite-size treats or kibble, and as he nudges, rolls and tumbles the ball, it will randomly dispense the goodies hidden inside. Neon orange vinyl ball is tough, yet soft and pliable. The textured surfaces make it easy to grip.

Can it be? An indestructible toy?

Pros: Highly recommend for power chewers. No toy destruction yet. Keeps dog engaged.
Cons: None
The Bottom Line:
Highly recommended. Superb toy for power chewers like labs and boxers.
We have a 1-year-old chocolate lab who can destroy toys labeled for "power chewers" - clearly, they haven't used our puppy for their beta tester :-)
This toy has been one of the few that have survive without any(!) marks of destruction. That's impressive. The material is very durable.
I didn't buy this product at first because I thought the treats would just fall out of it. No...it turns out the puppies do everything they're not supposed to like carry the ball, nudge and roll the ball which turns so it doesn't always dispense the treats easily. Our dog rolls around the house with this ball, wagging her tail the whole time. We've had minimal furniture damage - she likes this better. She takes it inside, outside, everywhere. Doesn't tend to play with it as much when there isn't treats but she has squeaky balls. Sometimes she'll come up us with treatie ball in mouth as if to say "Please feed me, Human" but not that often - we discourage it by specifically not feeding her when she does that. No begging.
We've been putting her Nutro kibbles in the ball and they dispense faster than the treats we put in there - we put Authority liver treats (shiny red bag) in there and that's probably the biggest size of a treat I'd put in there. Soft treats do tend to stick and that's b/c the dog (well, ours does) tries to slurp and suck in the hole sometimes so I guess slobber goes down there. Dry kibbles work better.
I would highly recommend this toy for dogs like labs and boxers. Probably not meant for the toy togs b/c the ball is bigger than their bodies (not sure if they make a smaller version for the little ones?)
Our dog eats food far too fast so this also a good way of keeping her mentally engaged and slows down her food. We hand-feed her and go through he obedience exercises (sit, stay, down, etc.) and follow that with putting her kibbles in the ball and letting her run around the house with it.
