Toy Tuesday: Kong Wobbler

This product is so new I haven’t even seen it in stores yet but the well known Kong dog toy company was kind enough to send me a sample of one of their newest dog toys, the Kong Wobbler. ($12.78)

Isabelle (my dog) was kind enough to be my product tester and within seconds of putting it down she was off to play! Her verdict? Definitely gift-worthy for your favorite pooch!

Isabelle is a smaller dog (18 lbs) and she bopped it around with her nose and paw to get at the goodies I placed inside without a problem. She even got creative and picked it up, with her mouth, by the hole that the treats fall out of (shaped, unmistakably, like a miniature Kong) and dropped it to see if that would net her more treats! (sorry neighbors!)

The Kong Wobbler is a puzzle toy for your pooch that screws open so that you can place kibble and/or treats inside for the dog to figure out how to get at. Puzzle toys are great fun for dogs and I highly recommend them as gifts! The base of the Kong Wobbler is weighted so that it will always return to its upright position so your recipient will really get in a nice session of play while they get their meal or treats. This type of gift add variety and excitement to meal time or helps alleviate boredom on a rainy day (or any day!).

The toy is sturdy and made out of FDA, food safe, high-strength polymer so, like other Kong toys, it should last. The Kong Wobbler is dishwasher safe but was very easy to clean up by hand. Almost any dog that is food motivated and over ten pounds will enjoy this toy! It is fun without being too challenging so your doggy friend needn’t be a canine genius to enjoy this gift.

Not that dogs are going to be too concerned with how you make this gift personal, but you can easily make this more personal for the dog’s owner by giving this gift with some super-yummy treats and some fun, dog related gift for the human too!

I was impressed with the minimal, fuss-free packaging. No special tools required to get this toy ready for play and less packaging is always a plus for the environment!

What is your dog’s favorite toy? Leave me a comment and let me know!

Happy gifting!
