I’m always on the look out for new interactive feeders so when I saw the Ruff hounds<\/a> shop were selling a new variety at a good price — the Caitec Chanse ‘n Chompe Sticky Bone<\/a> — I decided to give it a go. I love giving my dogs a challenge and they love food so we all loved doing this review!<\/p>\n

Caitec Sticky Bone<\/p><\/div>\n

The Sticky bone is another food toy for dogs but it has the unique feature of suckers which the manufacturers claim will stick to any flat surface. It is bright green, and bone shaped with grooves for treats or paste at each end.<\/p>\n

A potential downside is that the design of the bone negates the possibility of feeding your dog’s daily food allowance using it, as there just isn\u2019t space in the bone for enough food (at least for most dogs). The grooves are really only easily suitable for soft pastes and I found peanut butter (palm oil and xylitol free of course) the favourite for my dogs so far. Using this gives them about 15 minutes of licking time — which isn\u2019t bad at all as there really isn\u2019t that much peanut butter in the bone, so you don\u2019t need to be too worried about calories if you are filling it. It is a good size and I can see both large and small dogs being able to use the bone.<\/p>\n

But how sticky is the Sticky Bone?<\/h2>\n

I can confirm it sticks to a lot of things including walls, my fridge, dishwashers, tiles, the windowsill, hard floor, bath (inside and out), glass, cupboard door and table top. Obviously not everything is a suitable surface so don\u2019t expect miracles, but it does seem to stick to most surfaces well and survive mild to strong tugging from my dogs.<\/p>\n

Let me say that I have not yet found an indestructible dog toy, nor does this claim to be one. If you have a determined puller or chewer then, yes, they will be able to pull the bone off a surface, particularly if they learned to focus on chewing the suckers. However, it is for supervised fun<\/em> and using a little redirection on most dogs will soon have them licking rather than tugging at the bone.<\/p>\n

So I am impressed so far with the Sticky Bone. Its not a miracle toy but it is innovative and interesting for the dogs. But the sticky bone can also be a really great tool for helping your training as well as entertaining your dog.<\/p>\n

Here are just a few ideas:<\/h2>\n
