 Won't last if your dog is smart.... July 30, 2008
I have a border collie mix and literally in the time it took me to take the package to the trash and he had the treat out of the ball. I've looked endlessly to find something to challenge him and nothing has lasted the test of his sharp little mind. It didn't even offer more than 5 minutes of chew time! Not worth the cost.
 Finally some alone time! June 5, 2008
My dog Cora - a 50 lb. Boxer/Pit-bull mix - loves any and all treat toys. I recently broke down and bought one of these toys and she loves it as well! I've limited her to one treat every two weeks, since they are not cheap and I don't know the caloric density of these treats and like to keep her weight well regulated. In the between times, I place treats/kibble inside the ball and she flings it around the apartment to get them out. I've had to take the Everlasting Treat Ball away from her on occasion because she WILL NOT STOP eating the treat and starts to get frustrated that she CAN'T GET IT OUT! She has popped out the treats occasionally but only after several hours of chewing and licking it beforehand. It's nice to have something I can give her that will keep her occupied.
TIP: Make sure you get the right size! Otherwise, it will be more likely that your dog can pop the treats out. I bought Cora a LARGE.
TIP: Put the treats in upside-down! This trick was mentioned by someone else who commented, and it definitely works for my dog. It is a lot more difficult for her to pop out the treat if the convex side is toward the center of the ball and the flat surface is exposed. She does get a bit more frustrated with the toy if I do this though, so I have to watch her more carefully to make sure she's not chewing up the toy just the get the treat!
TIP: I tried the fire hydrant version of this toy first, but Cora chewed the edges off around the treat in order to get it out faster. So... it died. This one is much more durable since it doesn't have the same sort of "lip" around the edge.
 Good, but get the right size February 20, 2008
We got the smallest size for our maltese/bichon mix who is about 13 lbs, and he was able to pop out the 'cap' within minutes... and we are pretty sure he ate the whole cap. So then we went out and got the large size, and he is IN LOVE. He's actually so addicted to it, I worry a bit! Moral to the story is, make sure you get a size large enough that your dog cannot squeeze the entire thing to pop out the cap!
My other little dog (6 lb yorkiepoo) likes the smallest size just fine, but doesn't seem to care a whole lot for the 'caps' themselves; instead he likes it when I stuff Bil Jac treats into the ball.
Both are pretty destructive chewers, but so far so good. Personally I find the caps stinky and it smells up the room... but if it makes my boyz happy, then I'm willing to tolerate the smell.
 Not everlasting - caution leaving dogs without supervision January 31, 2008
I have a Lab who is a moderate chewer (toys only). I gave her the treat ball one day for about 45 minutes and then took it away for bedtime. The second time I gave her the ball with the same treat, she had the treat out in about a half hour and ate the whole treat in minutes. I would not recommend leaving your pooch with this without supervision - once she removed it, the treat was big enough that my dog could have choked on it while eating it.
This is good but not everlasting... January 10, 2008

Just an FYI to all those who have a smart dog like me -- this may not last as long as you hope. I've tried them all and am on a mission to find soemthing that will keep my pup entertained for a little while and won't break. Kongs don't last for Kobe and as much as he loves squeaky stuffed toys, they don't last more than 10 minutes. Gosh, did I mention he's barely 7 months old - can't fathom how much smarter he will get. SIGH. OK, so you've got an idea what my dog is like onto my review.
So I've seen these things both online and at pet stores, and always felt a little unsure about these things. For one thing, these things aren't cheap and two like I've described I've got a really smart Lab. So I broke down and bought this at the pet store after a worker I spoke with highly recommended it. Yes, this was even after I told him about my pup. He said he's got a big dog too who's a "chewer." Kobe usually knows when I've bought him something. Soon as I got home, I had to test it out. After 10 mins, not a dent so I was pretty amazed so far. 20 mins later, I see he managed to get that treat out!?!? Sigh...so I pried it out of his mouth and put that slobbery thing back in the ball. Next thing, he had it out again and this time he chewed a good chunk of it so it no longer fit. So I put it in the inner part of the ball and minutes later he got it out of there too. S-I-G-H.
I take off 1 star because in my case it was everlasting. I do give it credit for being pretty durable and the treat took a little while longer for him to eat. Also, it's got a cave you can bury treats in which isn't as easy for them to get things out of. I say it's OK.
