Nice enrichment toy for active dogs
This is a fun interactive dog toy for days when my dog needs extra activity inside. The automatic rolling motion makes it more engaging than a standard ball. It works best on hard floors or flat surfaces, and the USB-C charging is convenient.

Good entertainment for my puppy
Style: Milk & Cookies, Style: Milk & Cookies
My puppy was 11 weeks when I got this toy. She loved the cookies because that was the pretty much only thing that she can grab and make squeaky sound. She didn’t show any interest to the milk carton or play with the holes. One week later, we put cookies and other chew toys in there and she figured out how to take them out. Sometimes she wants to put them back. And now she also play with the milk carton by chewing and carrying it. It is bigger than her. But she lifts her head up high and carrying it around. So cute. The cookies are so bouncy when she drops them, making her to want to play more. Update: original purchase was in August 2025. Now May 2026, both cookies and milk carton are still intact and the favorite toy of our two dogs.

Nice burrow toy for small to med dog
Style: Popcorn Bucket
We like it! He loves to dig into stuff so this is a perfect addition to his other burrow toys. The most compact and only one hole makes it somewhat challenging for him.

a fun toy!
Style: Popcorn Bucket
My dog absolutely loves this toy! I have to repeatedly stuff the pieces back inside so he can pull them out. That being said, if you have a heavy chewer this one will bite the dust pretty quick. It’s cute but not sturdy for chewers.

Perfect for keeping energetic pups busy, mentally stimulated, and happy!
Style: Milk & Cookies
I bought this interactive dog toy to keep my puppy mentally stimulated and it has been a huge hit! At first i was worried she wouldn't understand the concept but once i started squeaking the cookies inside the milk container she couldn't stop poking around until she was able to get all three cookies out. Trying to get the cookies out keeps her entertained but even after she gets them out she loves running around chewing and squeaking on the cookies. The milk container has holes just big enough to make her work a little but not get too frustrated, and the cookies are durable enough for her to keep chewing on without chewing right through them and without her hurting herself on them. Plus cleanup is easy too they wash quickly in warm water. Since the cookies are pretty small they can easily get lost under couches or beds.
