Dog Games Seamsters Small Weave Bone


My Golden gave up after 5 minutes
Saw this at Unleashed and was intrigued by a toy that had some rawhide (which my dog loves) combined with a rubber to keep him busy. My dog loves rawhides but he can power through a big one (7") in about 30-45 minutes.

The concept is good, but my dog lost interest very quickly. Also, it is messy to "refill" the rawhide- you have to soak it to make it soft, thread it through the holes, and then wait for it to dry.
A dog-specific toy - four and a half stars!
My wife and I have a 25lb whippet-shepherd mix who really likes to chew, and is rather smart by dog standards. These two characteristics often don't mix well, which has led us on a search for the best of the best puzzle chew toys. I would like to thank Kyjen for sending me a copy of this toy in exchange for an honest review!

As soon as I took this out of the package and our pup smelled rawhide, her little tail started to wag! It's one of her favorite things, and despite there being a relatively small amount of rawhide strung on to the bone, it didn't take away from her butt wriggling in excitement!

BUILD/QUALITY
Well, it's nice to see that this is made of natural rubber. Not only does it have that nice vanilla-like smell, but you also don't have to worry about your dog swallowing potentially-toxic pieces of their toys! Now, I want to refer back to the title of my review in reference to the quality and how long this will last your dog. If your dog is an...
Good but not durable enough for my dog!
Good product and Tilly enjoys playing with it, trying to get as much rawhide off as possible. However, the plastic is not durable enough for her strong teeth, and she has eaten away at much of the green plastic, trying to get the hidden rawhide parts. It was fun for her, but we can't allow her to play with it since she's eating the plastic off.

Dog Games Puzzle Paw Flapper


My OLD dog loved this!
My dog has NEVER wanted to play with any sort of dog toy, she won't even play fetch (she's kind of a weird dog in that way). However, I do know how much she loves her treats. Our dog is 14 years old, she can not hear at all anymore her vision is going, but she is still very playful with us. My dad thought it was a silly idea for me to waste my money on this item as our dog can't even eat hard food anymore. However, I know my dog and had faith that she would love this item. We broke it out on Christmas day...put a treat in it and the dog went to town. Our dog loved it. She might be deaf, her sight might be going, we will probably even have to put her down soon, but she still has a great since of smell. My dad even said "Well, I guess you can teach old dogs new tricks". Thank you for letting me see my dog SO excited over something again!
Paw Flapper a good puzzle! Star spinner a WASTE

has potential...but...
So our 1-1/2yr old boxer has tons of energy but little patience. He played with it for a few minutes and was able to figure out what was going on. He definitely did not like the rotating portion. Because boxers have shorter noses, he was unable to get into the little bowl area and retrieve the treat we had put in for him and the harder he tried the more the bottom portion rotated. In the end, he ended up getting frustrated (not the point of the toy), flipping it over and bullying his way to the treat. I think if his nose/snout was longer/thinner, he would have enjoyed the game more, but as he was physically limited it was more of a tease for him. If your dog is a boxer, bulldog, or other short nosed bread, I would look for something else.
