It has been a long and lazy Summer here. Us pups have lazed around under the cool air in the house with my Lady. Oh, sure, we go outside for our exercise times and we play games of fetch with my Lady, but then we are just as anxious to go back inside with her. Truth be known, it is down right hot outside! Well, hot, and we want to be with my Lady WOOF! But when we are inside there ain’t much to do ‘cept lay there. It gets kinda borin’ and that’s why my Lady is always gettin’ us what she calls “enrichment toys”. Well, the other day, my Lady got us some new Petmate® JW® Hol-ee Gourmet™ dog treat toys that have brightened up our long Summer days!
Them Hol-ee Gourmet dog toys are fun, fun, fun WOOF! All us pups love em! They keep us right busy trying to get to the tasty treat. I don’t know what them big words like “enrichment” means, but I sure do like the toys we get cause of it and the fun enrichment activities we get to do WOOF! Lemme me fetch my Lady to tell ya more!
Here’s what my Lady says about the Petmate Hol-ee Gourmet Interactive Dog Toys
Miss Molly and the pack are the joy of my life. I love them dearly and always want what is best for them, both PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. Of course, they need lots of love and belly rubs! However, to keep them at their healthiest and happiest, they need good nutritious food, exercise, AND mental stimulation. Mental stimulation helps keep their minds active, expels pent-up energy, and leaves you with a happy dog. Expending energy is a good thing when it comes to dogs! Have you heard the saying that a “tired dog is a good dog”? A lot of troublesome behavior in dogs can be solved by adding enrichment toys and activities to their lives!
My pups are always by my side, or at my feet. Even though they have a large fenced-in yard to play in, none of them will go outside unless I go with them! While we go outside for playtime and games of fetch, the rest of the day I am busy with household chores and online work. It’s not very exciting to sit and watch someone type, now is it? Even if they would go outside by themselves, that isn’t a total solution either. Dogs get bored and bored dogs can become destructive. Enrichment toys like the Petmate Hol-ee Gourmet Interactive dog toys are the solution!
What are Hol-ee Gourmet Interactive Dog Treat Toys?
The Hol-ee Gourmet line of treat-dispensing dog toys are high-quality, durable toys of mixed material. The intelligently designed two-in-one treat toy will entertain your dog and stimulate their mind, while being able to withstand chewing! The Hol-ee Gourmet enrichment toys encourage interactive play, while helping treats last longer.
Let them Play with Their Food!
The Hol-ee Gourmet collection of dog treat toys come in 3 fun designs: a turkey leg, a steak, and a peanut! They are available in 2 sizes: Small/Medium and Medium/Large and the best part is they sell for a MSRP under $15! My big dogs have the Medium/Large size.
Each toy in the Hol-ee Gourmet collection comes with a sample of Himalyan Yaky Puffs treats. You can also use other treats or dog biscuits. Since they really have to work at getting the treat, it is a great way of providing them high value treats without them just scarfing them down and you going broke!
You can stuff the outer Hol-ee shell with larger treats and/or you can smear soft, spreadable treats, like peanut butter (xylitol free, please), on the inner nylon bone.
Enrich Your Dog’s Life!
A dog treat toy may seem like such as simple thing, but you will be amazed at the energy they use while playing and trying to get the treat! It stimulates their minds, while they are working to get the treat. Using their minds uses energy that tires them out. Have you ever been mentally tired from a long busy or stressful day? If you have, then you know it can be more tiring than doing physical work!
It has been proven that dogs that do not get enough exercise and/or aren’t mentally stimulated may become destructive and unmanageable. Even if you provide daily walks and a game of fetch, they still need a form of mental stimulation to keep their minds active. The Hol-ee Gourmet line of interactive dog toys is a great way to enrich your dog’s life and keep them happy and healthy!
The Hol-ee Gourmet dog toys are great for inside or outside! Just keep in mind you need to supervise when pets are playing with chew toys!
TIP: I like to rotate the toy and the treats I put in them every day or so. It is also beneficial to rotate with other fun enriching games and activities. This keeps your dog from getting bored.

This is such a cute idea. What a great way to give our pets something to play with and a great treat. Thank you so much for sharing this. God Bless
My buddy would love these!
Cute toy for your pup!
I love these and I think my dog would too! He loves dog biscuits so I’m sure he’d like the challenge of getting them out.
My dog would love this!
This is a super idea! Get the maximum enjoyment out of just a little bit of treats – the satisfaction for the dog is tops!
You can put treats inside & laugh as your dog ties to get them out. My Chihuahua Ice would be busy for hours.
My dog loves peanut butter. He might make a mess on the carpet if I smeared some on the inside. But he’s probably at least have fun doing it! 🙂
This would be great for our two. One will chew anything she can find. These might help her chew on something appropriate.
These look incredibly amazing!!! And challenges the dog, even better!!
How very clever and what a good way to keep dogs from getting bored with long days inside.
These are so cool! The colors are great
Interesting looking dog toys. I think my dogs would like them. Of course, if they’re made y PetMate, I know they’re well made!
Looks like a fun toy for the pups mine would love to lay and chew on these
My dads pups would love these cute toys!
These look awesome. I bet the dogs love them!
It so cute and looks like they are having fun trying to get that treat.
My dog is very hyper. I think he would totally enjoy these.
Oh, they look really nice, love the peanut.
My dog gets bored and chews. But on himself. This could really help him. Since he loves treats he might keep busy,
This is a super idea! Get the maximum enjoyment out of just a little bit of treats – the satisfaction for the dog is tops!
These look great! I have a giant and he doesn’t seem to be able to keep from getting bored OR destroying everything!
These toys seem like great options for a dog!
These look so fun! Fido couldn’t be happier!
Be some very happy pups around with these cool toys
Do you know if these types of treat-toys are a recommended deterrent for an overly bark-y dog? I’ve just been on the lookout for solutions to my mom’s sometimes boisterous puppy. While these I’m sure would keep her busy (and she’d love them and I might get her one regardless) and bark-free for awhile… I’m not sure exactly that it’s a *solution* per se.
Btw, not trying to put you on the spot by any means, just thought it couldn’t hurt to ask 🙂
The will help keep her busy and occupied, but I don’t believe they will stop barking. If the barking is coming from boredom, them maybe. But, some dogs are just yappy 🙂
The dogs would really like these, but I do have concerns over how long the plastic would last!
I really like that treats will last long! Save a little money. It’s nice that you can use your own treats and not have to buy theirs.
Pet treats/toys (especially these items shown by a beautiful dog) hace come a long way over the years.
That’s what out pets need – treats that fight back!
These are so cool! my dogs wold love them.
This is ingenious!! It is a wonderful way you know your dog won’t get bored. It is good of you to mention a dog should not be left alone with a chew toy like this.
When my dogs get bored they seem to go in the trash. I bet these would entertain them
These are such a cute idea for our furry family members. I need to pick some up for my sons two labs soon. Thank you so much for sharing
We’ve never got out dog an interactive toy before. It would be interesting to see him with one.
Great dog toys!
These look like fun toys that will keep the dog busy.
I like the idea of these toys challenging a dogs mind. I don’t think people realize the effects it can have if they are bored all the time.
What an interesting toy. I bet my Boston’s would love to play with it.
These are so cute! I love them. Thank you for sharing.
Who said my dog ever gets bored? My dog always finds something to get into.
These look cool.

This looks real cute for me, but I don’t know if there is any hope getting him away from those rawhides. It is even worse if you try to kick my pups habit.
Just Great.
In a world where humans are suffering, animals are taken care of.

These look really swell to me, but my pup graduated from toys to his rawhide, and it is hard to substitute anything else.
