- Reviewed in Canada on November 26, 2024Colour Name: OrangeVerified PurchaseIt was fun and enriching for my cat - unfortunately personality-wise he needed a big push to use it. He was really used to being pampered and demanding food in his plate, so if you have a spoiled cat they may not take to it immediately. When he did use it, it worked really well.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 21, 2018Colour Name: BlueVerified PurchaseI am aware that this product is more for over weight cats that need to exercise a bit more. However, it works well for my needs as well. My cat likes to vacuum up her food and often throws it back up 5-10 mins later. My vet recommended something like this as my cat would get more of a break in between eating her food as opposed to it being there and devoured all at the same time.
I ended up buying it and was unsure if my cat would actually push this thing around. The design of this toy is quite simple. At the top there is a little lid that you screw off/on. You put some food in and screw the lid back on. Next you hold it in such a way that the lid is facing downward. You rotate the toy itself and then you will see that the slots for food inside will match up with the slots on the outside and at that point food will come out of the toy when your cat pushes it. It is cool as there are two sets of hole sizes. The bigger one is recommended initially so you cat knows that pushing the toy will make lots of food come out of it. There is also a little switch that makes it harder to rotate the toy and keep it on its current position. I ended up trying it out and had to encourage my cat at first but then she pushed it around herself later. She likes it so much that she pushes it at night as well even though there is no food inside which I think is funny. I would say I am pretty happy with my purchase as it does what I bought it for. My cat no longer throws up as she is slowly eating her food now which is great. The price is reasonable as well. I would highly recommend this for people trying to get their cat to lose weight or stop eating food too fast.

I wanted to get a new slow food dispenser for my brilliant cat as I have one from Dollarama that looks like a lightbulb but she finds it far too easy to get the food out. I got this since the hole size can be adjusted. My cat seems to enjoy getting her food out of this - she's figured it out quickly though as there are a lot of holes in it. I like that the size of the holes can be easily adjusted though and that this makes her eat her food more slowly. The only thing I found was that the holes were not really lined up properly so sometimes when I try to make the hole size smaller, it ends up making a few of the holes larger (since the holes are randomly placed). I will properly cover up a few holes with tape as my cat can get her food out of this pretty fast. Regardless, I would still recommend this product!

- Reviewed in Canada on October 29, 2024Colour Name: BlueVerified PurchaseI give this 5 stars because it is a pretty blue and works like it's supposed to, but my cat is just not interested, even though I put some extra bells in it to make it sound more like his other toy balls. I roll it for him to demonstrate, and he eats the kibble that falls out, but doesn't seem to grasp that if he rolls it around himself it will dispense food. Too dumb, maybe? He is a ginger boy.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 19, 2015Colour Name: BlueVerified PurchaseHighly recommended if you want slim cats, especially if you have multiple cats with food issues.
We first bought this food ball four years ago when we got our cats, and it's still going strong. We got a second ball to facilitate cleaning the food ball, since we leave it out for them at all times. Our cats were adopted at about 1 years old, a bonded pair. One cat is really small and a slow eater. She is very submissive with her sister, who is a fast eater that is aggressive with food. The dominant one has anxiety issues and tends to scarf down her food, just to throw it up a few minutes later. This food ball has worked wonders for the cats. We are able to leave their food in it all day long - they eat when they feel like it, but they don't eat if they are bored. I guess our cats are lazy enough that they only want to roll the ball around if they are actually hungry. It also slows down how quickly they can eat, preventing them from binge eating.
They are able to free feed their usual food, a large kibble dental food. The large kibble means that it is heavier and harder to get through the holes - it tends to come out just one or two kibbles at a time, every few rolls. We feed them a different food at night, a smaller kibble Science Diet, which they wolf down. The smaller kibbles come out of the food ball way easier, even with the adjustable holes, but it does still slow their eating down. We like that this food ball has holes on all sides, as it causes food to get pushed out both ways, preventing one cat from hogging the food. Also, it does give the cats something to do. Our cats learned how to use it very quickly, and now they are very agile with their paws - opening doors and closets... this could just be their ability, but I swear the ball has made them smarter.
Only cons: this gets rolled all over our living room. I have kicked / tripped on it many times, and there are always little food crumbs in the carpet from cats eating off the floor. I'm way okay with this considering the benefits for our cats of using this ball.
