Diggs Groov Crate Training Aid for Puppies - Dog Crate Licking Toy and Puppy Training Aid - Safe, Calming Dog Enrichment Kennel Toy (Ice)

These are perfect for crate training, anxiety relief, and just as a treat that actually lasts more than two minutes. Yes, they aren’t cheap, but I’ve been putting my oldest one (of three, so obviously I like them) through the dishwasher on the regular for years and it’s still perfect. In fact, it’s outlived it’s original “owner” so obviously they are sturdy. I mix a little peanut butter and and apple sauce together to make it easier for them to get all of the goodie, but have done a variety of blends that include yogurt/banana purée/beef broth, depending on the need. And I always have some sitting in the freezer for those times when you need your dogs in their crates (ie when a strange person comes over) to quell any barking mayhem. Strange to the dogs, that is. One word of caution is that if using with an older or sick dog to get calories in their belly but who may take a long time to get them clean, use straight peanut butter or on with only a little smidge of the less dense food items or you’ll end up with a mess in the crates.Again, they are pricey. But over the lifespan of of a dog they are unbeatable!

FIRST! I feel COMPELLED to say this... I do not wish to sound rude nor be judgmental to any of the reviewers who stated the opposite of my opinion when they wrote their review. However! I was curiously puzzled, though not concerned, when I read the reviews prior to purchasing this holder. More than a few people stated it was hard to clean. NOW I’m curious and puzzled as to what they are putting on it??? After using mine several times, every wash it easily came clean as new. So then I left it for a day without cleaning it, just to see if anything would become “super-bonded” to it if left to completely dry caked on with dog slobber and leftover PB Fit. Yeah, nope! It cleaned perfectly and without any hard scrubbing. I did NOT soak it, just ran hot water on it for maybe 20 seconds and then used a soft dish soap bristle brush for only two scrub passes. Truly, I’m scratching my head how anyone can say this is hard to clean?? Really, you gotta be kidding? And you would not/ do NOT need to use a dishwasher!!!!! I WAS NOT PAID nor was a asked to review this product! It most certainly does not deserve anything but >5 STARS! I highly recommend and plan to order more for my fur babies’ furry cousins. I LOVE this treat holder! Great quality product. It’s perfect to entertain our puppy so he is distracted for a few minutes when he has to go to his kennel. Buy one... you’ll love it!

This thing is awesome. Simple, but super helpful. My puppy has learned the when I say crate at bedtime that he gets his peanut butter. I also have been freezing it too and he loves it. He will run from upstairs to downstairs to his crate and wait for me to put this on his door. First couple of nights he would eat it then cry for 10-15 minutes, but after two weeks he hasn’t really bothered with that either. Huge change from the 2-3 hours of crying he would do beforehand to fall asleep at night. I also love that there is a cap so I can set it down on the counter or in freezer without a peanut butter mess

Should be with caution and supervision above all else. Frozen bits can be sharp and if not supervised if you have a heavy chewer they can end up chewing pieces of rubber.As responsible pet parents we used this as a training tool and wish we bought 2 just to rotate! We only use this with water and not with anything else. Once there are teeth marks it proves a little harder to clean so we use a silicone kitchen scrubber to get any doggy dirt from the groves.There is no stand or anything to hold it up right so we place it in a mug and then put in the freezer. Fill the plastic holder with water only half way. Any more than you will not be able to turn the item in place between crate bars. Great training tool for pups teething on a hot summer day.

I have a puppy that I use this for and she loves it. I put some peanut butter on here and freeze it and on hot days when I want to keep her comfortable in her crate, she walks in, licks her pad, and then goes to sleep right after. Great quality, very easy to assemble, and I would say it can hold the test of time with its durability.

Fits well in the bars of the crate, and keeps my dog occupied while we leave the house.

When I received this, the manufacturer’s box was torn and completely ripped open, even though the shipping packaging was completely intact. This leads me to believe the item was used and returned by someone else, and for my pet’s health and sanitary reasons, I plan to return it. Wish I could give a good review of the product, but the practice of charging full price for an item that arrives in damaged packaging is uncalled for. Buyer beware!

More than I would have liked to spend on an time such as this, but truly so glad I did. Helped crate train my pup and I still use it all the time to introduce her to new foods.

My dog loves this thing. I freeze peanut butter in it and my dog loves licking it off. I find it's just the perfect amount without feeling like i'm giving my dog too much of a certain treat. Good for small to medium dogs, a large dog will probably lick everything off in under 2 mins.

My dog was having separation anxiety even though she is crate trained she would cry when she was in her crate. This popsicle has her excited to not only go in her crate but she chills out and relaxes too.

Our puppy loves this. It has helped me get used to and enjoy crate time. Easy to clean and durable

Got this because I had the Diggs crate and the Diggs website was out of stock of the pink. Both deliveries I had had the box completely ripped and torn, where the 1st looked returned and used, while the 2nd looked unused. I returned the 1st and ordered again, because I couldn't risk using the tool when it looked used, but Amazon made it right after the 2nd arrived similar to the 1st I returned. The good news is the puppy loves it, but I'm rating a 4 due to the handling of the product but helpful customer service.

Good quality just not useable in med size crates
