Behind the Scenes

Rounded brim allows Acorn to double as chew toy as well as treat dispenser, serves as an easy grab point for dogs to pick up the toy and retrieve it if it gets stuck

After multiple dogs were given the opportunity to play with the Acorn Treat Toy, we estimate that the average play time is roughly 35 minutes (due to prototype actively wearing down)

Dogs instinctively understood goal of toy, and treat dispensing frequency and difficulty is adjustable. The toy itself is not particularly noisy- does not go under sofas or tight spaces that are hard to reach.
