We have so much fun as #ChewyInfluencer, and this time we got to review a really great toy! Petey had so much fun with this. If you're looking for a toy for your dog that is a lot of fun and keeps him moving and active this is it! The Starmark Treat Dispensing Bob-a-lot ! Think Weeble that spits out treats.

He bopped it all over with his nose and paw. Loved it and got every bit of kibble out and had a bob-a-lot of fun!   It's great for slow feeding and reducing boredom.

Add small treats or smear with cheese or peanut butter for even more playtime options. The toy is durable, but not intended for vigorous che...
