Does your dog devour meals in mere seconds, leaving you concerned about their health and well-being? Rapid eating can lead to choking, digestive issues, and even serious conditions like bloat. Fortunately, Woof's innovative Pupsicle offers a delightful solution to encourage slower, healthier eating habits in your furry friend.
Fast eating is a common issue among dogs, often stemming from competition in large litters or simply an enthusiastic appetite. However, this behavior can pose health risks, including choking, vomiting, and gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), commonly known as bloat—a life-threatening condition where the stomach fills with gas and twists.
Introducing the Pupsicle: A Fun Feeding Solution
The Pupsicle is a thoughtfully designed, interactive treat-dispensing toy that transforms snack time into a mentally stimulating activity. By engaging your dog in the process of extracting treats, the Pupsicle naturally slows down their eating pace, promoting better digestion and reducing the risk of overeating.
How Does the Pupsicle Work?
Using the Pupsicle is simple and convenient:
- Fill: Unscrew the Pupsicle to open it. Place one of our specially formulated Pupsicle Pops or a homemade frozen treat inside.
- Feed: Give the assembled Pupsicle to your dog. They'll enjoy the challenge of licking and working to access the treat, prolonging their eating time.
- Repeat: After use, unscrew the Pupsicle for easy cleaning—it's dishwasher safe! Refill it for the next enjoyable session.
Benefits of the Pupsicle for Fast Eaters
- Encourages Slow Eating: The interactive nature of the Pupsicle requires effort and time to access the treat, effectively slowing down rapid eaters.
- Provides Mental Stimulation: Engaging with the Pupsicle offers mental enrichment, reducing boredom and associated behaviors.
- Promotes Dental Health: The licking action can help clean your dog's tongue and teeth, contributing to better oral hygiene.
- Safe and Durable: Made from non-toxic, BPA- and phthalate-free natural rubber, the Pupsicle is designed to withstand enthusiastic use.

Choosing the Right Pupsicle Size

- Large: Ideal for dogs between 25-75 lbs, measuring 3.6" in diameter and 2.8" tall, with a 1" center hole.
- XL: Perfect for dogs over 75 lbs, measuring 4.8" in diameter and 3.8" tall, with a 1.5" center hole.
Ensure the center hole is smaller than your dog's lower jaw width to prevent them from attempting to swallow the entire toy.
Tips for Introducing the Pupsicle to Your Dog
- Supervise Initial Use: Observe your dog during the first few sessions to ensure they understand how to interact with the Pupsicle and to prevent any chewing.
- Choose Irresistible Treats: Start with your dog's favorite flavors to pique their interest. Our Beef Pops and Chicken Pops are excellent choices.
- Establish a Routine: Incorporate the Pupsicle into regular feeding times to create a consistent slow-eating habit.
