Rope-and-Ball Treat Dispenser

A rubber treat-dispensing ball with a knotted rope attached, combining a food puzzle with a tug/chew toy.

Why combining the two works

A dog who tires of the puzzle side can switch to the rope for tug or solo chewing without losing interest in the toy altogether — one object serving two different play needs extends how long it holds attention.

Use cases

• Slow-feeding: fill with kibble to stretch out mealtime.
• Teething puppies: rope texture is satisfying against sore gums (supervise closely).

Inspect the rope regularly for fraying; discard if strands start coming loose.
