All you need in s a plastic container, a pair of scissors, and some dog food, to create an interactive dog toy. Why waist 15$ at the store on a food dispensing toy when you can make one at home!
Experiment with different shapes and sizes of container, remember never use glass or anything that could be potentially dangerous to the dog.
This is a great way to RECYLCE!!! Rather than just buying uneccessary plasic toys for your dog when you can make them with your recycling.
Some warnings
*Make sure you never leave the dog alone with the toy as they could eat the plastic to get to the food, this could be very dangerous!
*Be careful cutting with the scissors, dont cut towards yourself.
*Dont cut near your dog
*Have your PARENTS cut the holes for you, or supervise you

That’s great. I did a similar toy for my horses using a plastic jug. He loves beating it around knocking out carrot pieces.
VERY good idea! I could have saved myself $14 on buying a rubber one with holes. lol
What a great idea and video! Thanks!!!! This is one of those “now why didn’t I think of that” things!
Ince again an awesome tip! We use almost every cardboard in the house (cereal-boxes etc) to hide treats so the dog can tear it π Pipsa loves these games!
Thats very cool! Splash eats cardboard π But Kiko likes to play with paper towel rolls taped closed with holes with treats in.
What an awesome idea! I will try this with Kaine too:).
Great idea!
The last clear container seems to work better than the flat ones that seem to get stuck on one position. The long clear one container at the end keeps rolling and rolling and working!
Great idea and way too cute!
Great suggestions, and warnings! I love to make things out of what most people throw away! π
They sell those food dispensing toys here for around 30-40 bucks only because its such a small island and hardly any pet stores around… so finding this great tip was a big help … thanks Emily!
Such a brilliant idea Emily! Thanks for the great video! I’m going to make one of these for Lola (that crazy Havanese pup we’re looking after, she’s starting to drive the whole family nuts now! Maybe this will help keep her entertained, and help Sparky find some peace for a few minutes, haha…).
Thanks again!
Lizzy & Sparky
Jessie loves this toy and we also use boxes and milk jugs!
Wow, this was a superb idea! And what a great way to recycle plastic!
Isn’t this something like the Kong Toy or Buster cube? Anyhow, this one’s better because you make it on your own without paying money!
Awesome video 5*
i definetly make one for my dog name aisteru. i think she will like this. thank you so much! make more videos pls.
Love the idea – we have been looking for new treat toys to stimulate or dog. Another idea to help show the dog how to get the treats (we did this with or dog) is to click and toss a treat near the toy when the dog nudges or rolls over the ‘toy’. That way they know they are doing the right thing to get those treats out & will gain confidence to continue trying π I’m going to make some of these today – great idea to sand the rough edges!
Brilliant idea!
Me and my wife will try it out with our dog.
That is such an awesome idea and much cheaper than those expensive hard rubber toys you get at the pet shops π
Oh how cute! Btw I did this for my dog jack everyday and he loves it
This is fantstic!! The only concern I have is my dog gets very hyper (even more so than usual) when I give him more than 1 treat, Im not sure If it’s a sugar rush or just excitement because he’s desperate for more treats. Guess I will give it a try, my dog wants to play all day and I can’t just play with him all day, I’ve got stuff to do too π Thank you!
I used a Parmesan shaker for this! It shook treats out of the lid as well as the holes, and I could close the lid for more difficulty π
