Has your dog tried a Kibble Nibble yet?

Do you have a high energy, working minded, or highly intelligent dog who drives you crazy if he doesn't get enough work on a regular basis? Or how about a couch potato who needs a bit more movement in his life? The Kibble Nibble is a relatively new product on the market that works well for both types of dogs. I have been recommended food toys to owners of active, high energy, intelligent dogs for a long time now as a way to give their dog an additional challenge (IE: "work") in the course of every day life.
Similar to Buster Cubes and stuffed Kongs, the Kibble Nibble is a food based toy. It rolls well, has rubber "bumpers" to protect furniture, and a delivery system that is simple and yet effective for most levels of dogs, and unlike it's predecessor's it's very easy to clean.
I recommend using the Kibble Nibble as an alternate way of feeding your dog it's breakfast or dinner. Using it as a feeding method helps to slow down your dogs eating, and occupy your dogs mind by making it "work" for it's food. I have used the Kibble Nibble puppies ages 3 mos. and up, as well as adults. My Siberian, Doberman, and Border Collies have all used it. Fire used to eat his meals regularly from a Kibble Nibble rather than a bowl. I have found that it can hold nearly three cups of the dog food I feed, and takes 15 min - 45 min. for my dogs to work every piece out of it. And work every piece out they do! Unlike some of the other food delivery toys, I have not found a piece of food left behind.
So if your dog could use a little more exercise or mental challenges, try switching from the bowl to the Kibble Nibble!



*Kibble Nibbles are a part of the Busy Buddy line of dog toys distributed by Premier Pet Products. Woof 'N Tails Pet Supplies, located beside Kaye Ames School for Dogs carries them if you are looking to purchase one.
