Dinner Is Gone In Under A Minute
Most dogs empty a bowl faster than you can put it down, and then the whole evening is in front of them. Rolling toys fix that for about two minutes, until the toy is under the sofa and the dog is staring at you again. The Tumbla is weighted, it rocks over and comes straight back up.
Kibble goes into the clear chamber and falls out as the dog noses it over. A rotating collar makes the opening wider or narrower, so you decide how hard they have to work. Takes dry food up to 0.59 by 0.91 inches.
Why It’s Better
- Dial The Difficulty: A rotating collar sizes the hole: wide while your dog learns it, narrower once the bowl is lasting minutes.
- Weighted Base: It rocks and rights itself instead of rolling away, so it stays in the room rather than under the sofa.
- Their Own Food: Fill it from the daily ration rather than adding treats, so it replaces the bowl instead of adding to it.
- Clear Chamber: You can see how much is left, and so can the dog.
- Two Openings: One in each collar, so food comes out at either end depending on the tip.
- Comes Apart To Wash: The collars unscrew, so it rinses out properly instead of holding kibble.
Perfect for the dog who finishes dinner and then stares at you
Feeding out of a toy adds no calories, it just spreads the same dinner across twenty minutes and makes the dog work out a mechanism, which is the part that actually tires them. It is the cheapest thing you can do to make an evening easier, and it earns its keep on the days the walk was too short.
Same dinner. Twenty minutes instead of one.
Questions
What food fits?
Dry kibble and small hard treats up to 0.59 by 0.91 inches. Anything larger jams in the opening. Wet or soft food clogs it and is unpleasant to clean out.
Can my dog use it on their own?
That is what it is for. The weighted base rights it after every nudge, so a dog can work at it in the kitchen while you get on with something else. Keep an eye on a dog that chews plastic hard.
How do I get my dog started?
Open the collar to its widest setting and half fill it, so food falls out on the first nudge and the penny drops immediately. Once your dog has the idea, close the opening down a notch at a time and the same bowl of kibble starts lasting twenty minutes instead of ninety seconds.
How do I clean it?
Unscrew the collars from the chamber, rinse in warm soapy water and dry fully before refilling. Kibble dust left in a damp chamber goes stale quickly.
How does it sound on a hard floor?
A soft knock as it rocks back upright. The weighted base means it rights itself rather than skittering across the room, so it stays in one part of the kitchen instead of ending up under the sofa.
What size dog is it for?
Small and medium dogs.
Why this rather than a treat ball?
Because you can dial the difficulty. Rotate the collars to tighten the opening as your dog gets better, and the weighted base rights it instead of letting it roll under the sofa.
