iFetch iDig Stay Dog Digging Toy, Interactive Sniff Mat for Dogs, Activity Treat Puzzle for Mental Stimulation and Enrichment

The iDig was an immediate hit with my dog. She is definitely a digger! She digs at everything, even the bed covers, which is why I ended up buying the iDig.The iDig is completely assembled, so all you need to do is remove it from the box and insert treats and/or toys into the many hidden pockets and under the three flaps.The flaps are removable and machine washable (cold, gentle), and hang dry. They are made of a very sturdy material (canvas?), with a heavy duty screen in one. There are tiny plugs that turn so you can move the flaps around into the other slots (or remove) as well as interchange the flaps. You can order more flaps to customize your iDig for your dog. The flaps remind me a lot of the material of the sails from my sailboats. The photo shows a fluffy, pillow-looking item, but the flaps are all flat (unless you put a pillow underneath).The base is a sturdy, hard plastic ring. It's large enough that my dog (14 lbs) can use it as a bed, if she wants. It's still small enough to be able to use in many places. It's about the size of a pillow, maybe a bit wider.The base seems to be easy to clean with a good spray and wipe down. Everything seems to be very sturdy and well put together.As soon as I pulled the iDig out of the box and set it on the bed, my dog was ready to check it out! As I started filling it with treats, she was watching and ready for me to let her start. She sniffed and dug for 30 minutes, taking breaks only to get water. With it being Winter, we haven't been able to get out for her to get exercise. The iDig is great for getting exercise for your dog! She was panting like she had been running! She's sleeping now, and seems very content.I highly recommend the iDig for those who have a digger!

I got this for my business to show people the options that are out there for their dogs. If you have an aggressive digger or a bigger dog, this isn't for you. For a dog under 40 lbs or a dog that will paw at it gently, this is the thing for you!My dog spent about an hour digging around for some kibble, and I am currently teaching some other smaller dogs how to use it.4/5 for the price being kind of high for a fancy snuffle mat.

The media could not be loaded. I've had this for a few years. I've had 3 different dogs playing with it who are all under 25 pounds. There have been no issues with it except for some minor edge fraying that has not affected its function at all even though they do literally dig around in there. Would recommend especially for small dogs to keep them occupied and problem solving for a bit.

This is an excellent concept that is not necessarily created as durable as it should be.I am disappointed with the quality of the fabric’s edges for the price I paid. The thickness is good, but the frayed edges on each and every piece is terrible. We have had this toy for less than two weeks and as you can see it looks well loved for some time, when it has been less than 2 weeks. All of these pulled and frayed threads are from regular play from a year old pug. She has only use this 6 times.Had I known that the edges of the fabric where it comes together with the sewing were never “sealed” to protect from it from excessive fraying, I would not have spent this amount of money.This toy came highly recommended because it does keep dogs thinking while even stopping the digging on furniture because they now have “their place”. It has also provided my pug with some great entertainment and keeps my curious beast out of trouble.As far as safety is concerned, I’ve had to cut threads so that they didn’t produce a hazard for my dog to potentially get her paw or teeth tangled up as she digs- You can see where frayed threads from one piece of the layer tangled with frayed threads of a different layer, which can cause the potential for injury- especially with smaller dogs. I mention this so that other dog owners are careful and watch their pooch while they are playing. These pictures were taken right before I let my dog play with it and I had to cut threads first, for obvious reasons.All in all, this is a great idea and provides entertainment for dogs and helps keep their mind sharp while giving them their own place to dig, which has cut down on my dog digging on our couch or beds. The downside is how it was made. The edges of the sewn fabric are not sealed which creates a little quality looking product after dogs have played with it for a few times as well as potential safety hazards. I would have never spent this kind of money on this digging toy had I known.

Love this toy. My puppy (9monyh old border collie-cattle dog)needs something to keep her occupied while I’m in the office. This was a dream! However, within the first use she dug/bit through the mess pad and there’s a huge hole in the center. I also had a pet sitter who left freshly cleaned pads out to dry after washing and all three pads are now speckled with mold (and this is something I don’t want to clean with bleach out of concern for my puppy).I love this item but I do wish they offered replacements for the mats. No one wants to spend $100 on something that is going to break in the first use.
