Is this a messy Toy? Has anyone experienced this problem?

My Jack Russell loves this toy...we just put her regular kibble in it and she will eat it, even if she has a full bowl of food nearby that she isn't interested in. Since her kibble is not a messy, crumbly type of food, it doesn't make any mess. We block off an area for her to play in since the ball can roll under low pieces of furniture, requiring our assistance to get it out. When the ball is empty, we take it apart and show her, then put it up. She has never tried to chew on it, but then again, she is an older dog.

I never had that problem. Could it be dirt? Could taking it apart and cleaning it solve the problem? But only if you feel sure of your ability to reassemble it.

I personally have not had this problem and have had the tall feeder for over a month now. The care instructions recommend wiping the feeder daily to avoid this happening and I try to do this. I know this doesn't answer your question about solving the problem after it occurs, but hopefully this will help others know how to avoid it, and that it doesn't necessarily happen. My dog gets most of her drool on the floor, so I don't really have much to clean up on the feeder :)

I have the same problem with 2 out of the three that we have. sometimes it doesn't happen but I'm guessing the kids touch something like the wheel widget on the top right corner. I just pet them play with it.

I understand your frustration with this toy, as we have experienced the same issues... I immediately changed the batteries, which helped, but overall it's just a very cheaply made toy. It still works, several months later, but only when stroked lightly with the stick not by hand. I was expecting more, but in the end, my 3 year old likes it well enough the way it is, so we kept it. She actually played with it just today! Hope this helps.

Try unscrewing it and make sure it's not clogged, I've not had this problem, so I hope this works for you. My daughter loves this stuff.

I haven't had that issue but it's mostly been used as a catch all for my baby's toys. I would contact the manufacturer to see if they would replace it.

I have hand washed her, submerged her in water, scrubbed lightly on a stain. She turned out fine, but I wouldn't want to do it very often. And she does have a magnet under her smile - it's what holds that pacifier on. Otherwise, she's pretty much like any other stuffed toy. I've seen some ratty Stella's at Goodwill that look like they have been through the washer a few times, so I wouldn't toss her in the wash machine.

It's not messy at all. My puppy can't even get the stuff in the middle out since her tongue can't reach it, but she still tries. It's completely safe inside and even on furniture and bedding.

I totally understand you problem as mine is rough too! We've had it for about 5 months now and he hasn't destroyed it yet, LOL! I thing your safe with ordering it. But it does have a fabric/mesh part that can get soiled but does wipe clean. I hope this helps! Good Luck!

No we have not had that issue. Then again, we've only had it since Christmas, but my son plays with it a lot.

Mine has not had a problem. I use it to unload the groceries and to move things around the house. It is the best one I have seen. Very sturdy, yet light. Instead of glue, I might tape if I had a problem, but so far so good!

Try putting toy with no water first ,just let them go in and out to get their toys ,then after a few hours I put water ,but just a little the first time , then the second day I put more water , now they go in and out by themselves and get wet while I sit there and soak my feet lol

Yes! Just this past weekend I rounded up the stuffed dog toys and put them all through the washer and the dryer. The beloved Squeaky Duck, as its know around here, came through perfectly and still squeaks even though I washed hot and dried fully.

I've never had a problem with mine. I liked it so much that I bought another one. Make sure you have it together tight.

Ours came off pretty easy too. And it think the more its taken off and on the looser it gets. My daughter has never been real interested in the toys on it anyways so we eventually just tossed it!

I did not have that problem though my 2 year old has put bite marks in it. Ours is several months old.
