Meyers Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:19:02 +0000 http://lionhub.com/the-amazing-treat-machine-interactive-dog-toy/#comment-2748 I was hoping to find a good puzzle toy that is a little less than some of the options out there (Nina Ottosson toys, for example, which we love, they are just pricey). Unfortunately this isn't a good alternative. I wasn't expecting a cardboard treat system to be on the same level as wood or plastic toys, but I did expect it to work. <br /> <br />The assembly video on their website wasn't very helpful. The majority of which focused on cutting the holes in the water bottle, (thanks, but I got that part after you cut the first triangle) and then inserting the bottle in the (magically assembled) box. The assembly of the box was bypassed entirely. This is the most complicated part of the "easy" assembly. The instructions aren't the best written. <br /> <br />It doesn't work quite as smoothly as the toy in the video. Sometimes treat drop out, sometimes they don't. We also found that just a couple drops of the ball into the box and the bottle drops out also. Our dog would argue that's a plus, we would not. <br /> <br />Great that it's recyclable, but I'll be recycling this much earlier than I had anticipated.
