Mushroom Shape Treat Dispensing Toy, Exactly What Magical?

As an ordinary office worker, it is not realistic to accompany the dog all the time. To be exact, the dog is alone for most of the day.

Yes, after I left home, besides sleeping or sleeping, I occasionally made some small damage. It's really no wonder. It is said that dogs are like children. Imagine how boring it is for a child to stay at home by himself every day!

A friend said, buy some toys for it!

图片1

That's not too little, is it? However, even though there is a basket of toys on the ground, Jixiang still falls asleep. These toys are either toys that need to be played with when interacting with their owners, or toys with simple structures, which soon lose interest, so they have to be used as medicine!


Auspicious is a standard eater who can do anything to eat.

It has to be said that the leaky food toy is really one of the greatest inventions in pet products. Especially for foodie dogs, in order to successfully eat the delicious food in toys, they will rack their brains and persevere in their research. Therefore, excellent food leakage toys should not only stimulate dogs'interest in toys through food, but also have the characteristics of bite resistance, fall resistance and play resistance. Can this leaky food toy that auspicious experience today be called "excellent"? Just wait and see!

Experience information

The medium Busy Buddy Mushroom toy is really not small, with a height of 16 cm, a top width of 15 cm and a bottom width of 13 cm.

The bottle is engraved with the brand logo and a cute dog, and the mushroom cap indicates the origin of CHINA.

The net content of the toy is 367.8g, and it should be about 500g if it is filled with food.

Construction

Several small bumps on the mushroom cover should be designed to prevent skidding and make it more beautiful.


The
food leakage mouth is provided with three leakage openings, each leakage opening is provided with an adjustable baffle plate, one baffle plate is provided with a sliding door, and the size of the leakage opening is changed by pulling the sliding door to control each baffle plate.

There are four small dots on the sliding door, representing the four gears of the size of the leak.

图片1

In full open gear (i.e., first gear), the dimensions of the leak are as follows:

图片1

The base is thin at the top and thick at the bottom, with a magnifying glass in the center. Is this designed to give the dog an illusion? Ha-ha

图片1

There is a circle of air holes on the base to release the smell of food to attract the dog and stimulate the dog's desire to eat.

图片1

The assembly process is simple, but care should be taken to align the threads when screwing to avoid tripping.

Finally, turn the toy upside down with the mushroom lid facing down to test the leakage of food.

The difficulty of food leakage is determined by adjusting the baffle of the food leakage opening. The adjustment of the size of the food leakage opening can be operated before and after the installation of the mushroom cover.

According to the official introduction, the toy consists of three parts, but in fact, the mouth and the bottle body can also be separated. I don't quite understand this design. It seems that there is no direct use to separate the mouth from the bottle body. On the contrary, it is easy to rotate the mushroom cap together with the mouth by mistake when unscrewing the mushroom cap.

This silly white sweet knows that he is in trouble again, and he is trying to act cute.

Material

According to the official introduction, its materials are mainly natural rubber and acrylic. The leak-removing mouth is made of natural rubber, and the mushroom cap, bottle body and base are made of bulletproof acrylic material.

The use of acrylic material should be related to its original design intention. It not only releases the smell of food through the air holes of the base, but also allows the dog to see the food through the transparent bottle body, and attracts the dog's attention through the two-pronged approach of smell and vision.
To tell the truth, this design is really difficult for dogs, can see, can smell but can not get O (∩ _ ∩) O, that is more anxious ah!
At the same time, the transparent bottle body is also convenient for dog owners to know the degree of food consumption, so as to supplement in time.
I have to say that Busy Buddy's workmanship and edge treatment are very good, so there is no need to worry about dogs hurting themselves while playing.

Although acrylic material has good permeability and is more durable than ordinary plastic products, its resistance to falling and wear can not compete with rubber toys. The

figure below shows the degree of wear after a total of two hours of indoor and outdoor trials.

Auspicious has smelled the fragrance of snacks through the air holes of the base, and has been a little overwhelmed.

Let's play outdoors first!

Maybe I set the difficulty a little too much, and this guy actually ran to me halfway for help.

Choose snacks and adjust food leakage

At the very beginning, in order to attract the dog's attention and arouse its interest, the difficulty should not be set too high. Take auspicious as an example, if a piece of meat can not be shaken out for half a day, it will certainly take violence to dismember it.

In fact, the types of snacks can be single or mixed. When it is installed
separately, it has strong controllability of difficulty, and can adjust the speed of food leakage completely according to the size of snacks.

When mixing, it should be based on the principle of "simple but not difficult", and the standard is that larger snacks can leak out. The advantage of the

mixed pack is continuous attraction, which can not only make the dog taste the sweetness in advance, but also make it continue to challenge the bigger snacks inside, which can effectively prolong the play time, and is more suitable for the owner to work during the day.

Create obstacles, free choice

Choose a few of Jixiang's favorite toys to surround Busy Buddy's leaky mushrooms. Will Jixiang choose this new toy with fragrance?

After confirming the smell, Jixiang began to choose to listen to his stomach without hesitation.

When I was watching, Jixiang was having a lot of fun.

图片1

I wonder if it will still be interested when it is at home alone?

Sure enough, foodies will never give up on delicious food, even if they dismember toys.

And is convenient to clean

Because of the simple structure and smooth material of Busy Buddy mushroom, it is really convenient to clean it, just need to disassemble it and wash it one by one.

The food leakage toys on the market are relatively simple in terms of food leakage function. There are a lot of leaky toys at home, so let's compare them with Busy Buddy's leaky mushroom toys!

图片1

Although the above toys have their own merits, if only from the point of view of the function of leakage, Busy Buddy leakage mushroom toy is the most satisfying.

Although the Busy Buddy Mushroom Toy is not quite as effective as I expected, I have to admit that its performance in terms of leakage and fun is very good.

"Adjustable leakage mouth", "visual + olfactory double attraction", "rolling and turning mushroom shape" and so on are all remarkable.
But at the same time, we have to admit the shortcomings of its design and poor wear resistance. According to the above experience effect, the price of 140 yuan is a little high.
It is suggested that the manufacturer fix the leakage mouth with the bottle body, and add an anti-release rubber pad at the thread of the mushroom cap, so as to avoid accidental unscrewing of the mushroom cap when the dog plays by itself, resulting in scattered snacks and damage to the leakage mouth. In terms of material, we hope to be more durable while taking into account the visibility, after all, more wear and tear, the visibility will become worse. I would give it 8.5
out of 10.

Oh yes, it is also a good tool for dog training after loading delicious snacks! Look how pious my family is praying before the big auspicious meal!
