You may remember it was one of her birthday presents. Mum bought it after dropping (and breaking) our old weighted bottom treat dispenser. When we gave it to Shadow and she didn\u2019t know what it was she didn\u2019t look too thrilled. That was then. Now, she loves it. She won\u2019t stay outside longer than necessary at mealtimes in case there are any pieces of food still in the dispenser. She comes running back in to find it and can roll it around for ages checking. I\u2019m jumping slightly ahead there though. Let\u2019s go back to basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a very simply form of canine enrichment. Even Shadow can do it! It is easy to fill, and there are different settings to make it easier or harder to get the treats out. There is also, from a dog point of view, something very satisfying about the shape and the way it rolls. It is also fairly low priced. We paid just \u00a313.99 which makes it great value for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0880-768x1024.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0880-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"21235\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=21235\" class=\"wp-image-21235\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0881-1-768x1024.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0881-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"21236\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=21236\" class=\"wp-image-21236\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0882-1-768x1024.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0882-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"21237\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=21237\" class=\"wp-image-21237\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0883-1-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0883-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"21238\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0883-1-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=21238\" class=\"wp-image-21238\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Zellar Treat Dispenser<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the downside, it is too small to fit a whole meal of food. Shadow has the overflow of hers in her snuffle mat. The switch to adjust how wide the food slot opens, is too easy to move. Shadow cheats and puts it to maximum when Mum isn\u2019t looking. She goes a step further than that sometimes, as the top sometimes unscrews too easily so she just empties it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0889-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_0889-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21239\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Biggest Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest problem is the overall size. It is a bit too small and gets stuck under the settee or side table much too easily. Shadow kicks up a lot of fuss when she loses it somewhere, even if it\u2019s empty at the time. If it were a little bigger that wouldn\u2019t happen. Mum has to get down on her hands and knees regularly to fish it out of odd corners. She\u2019s found spiders cobwebs at the same time, so I suppose all is not lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Zellar Treat Dispenser - Canine Enrichment\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m0DyMJwwsVo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the problems it really is excellent value and Shadow absolutely loves it. On the odd occasion that Mum has put food straight into Shadow\u2019s bowl, she looks at Mum with such disappointment that it\u2019s heart breaking. It is definitely worth buying one for any dog.
