Animal Instincts Chewie & Licky Ball

The Canine Thinking Team says…

Difficulty: Medium

Food/Treats: Wet

Interactivity: Can do alone

Durability: Regular

This cracking toy is like a giant rolling lickimat!!! Granted, it is a bit messy, but easily contained in a pen or crate, used out in the garden and we’ve had some success with putting it in a large shallow plastic tray too – but what’s a bit mess when you have a happy content dog?! You can also drop into a slightly deeper container so your dog needs to turn it as they lick.

To prepare, all we do is roll this around in either wet food, coconut oil, soft cheese, yoghurt or some other bit of sticky deliciousness and serve! It takes much longer than a normal lickimat because it moves (although the more clever pups soon learn to get hold of it with a paw) and it can also be bounced and played with as a normal toy too.

We’ve put the durability as regular – it isn’t a super tough toy, but it stands up to quite a robust bit of activity in our experience – just make sure you size it correctly for your dog. A staffie will smush the small version pretty easily!!

Overall a big thumbs up from us!
