Automatic Treat Dispensers for Dogs Review

The Peffiti Tech-N-Pop UFO uses motion sensors to move around and pop out treats when it detects a dog or cat nearby. Set up is easy and straightforward. Twist and pop the dome top off and place the food in the center, then place the top back on. Or you can just pour treats through the hole at the top of the dome. Turn it on and off by flipping the switch on the bottom. To get started, just place it on the floor for your pet to check out. When they go near it, the UFO will light up, roll back and forth, and start popping out treats.

The PetSafe Kibble Chase is a roaming treat toy that rolls around on the floor, dropping treats randomly to keep your dog chasing after it. Load the kibble into a little door on the side, and open up a small hole where the food is supposed to fall out. You can adjust the size of this opening to fit many different treats or control how quickly they fall out. Hold down the power button to turn it on and off. This shuts off automatically after 10 minutes; however, if nudged by your dog, it will start back up again.

Meet the PupPod Rocker and Feeder, a smart toy for dogs that challenges them with games and rewards them with treats. With the feeder, load it with treats or kibble and plug it in. We recommend placing the rocker on a carpet to keep it in place, otherwise it can move around a lot on hard flooring. When your pup plays with the rocker toy correctly, it will trigger the feeder to release treats. There are five levels of play that get increasingly difficult. At the start, your dog will be rewarded with a treat each time they touch the pod. Then they will be rewarded for touching the pod each time it plays a “treat sound.” Eventually the rocker will play different sounds, and your dog must learn to only touch the pod after hearing the treat sound to receive a reward. The toy will also light up green if the dog hits it correctly, and red if not. You’ll use the app on your smartphone to control and customize the games.
