Goughnuts Work-to-Eat® Treat-Dispensing Toy for Power Chewers

The Goughnuts Work-To-Eat is a durable enrichment toy designed to keep high-drive dogs mentally engaged while slowing down fast eaters and encouraging problem-solving. Built from Goughnuts’ heavy-duty, virtually indestructible rubber, it’s made to stand up to repeated use during treat-based play and structured enrichment routines.

Product Features

• Durable rubber enrichment toy for treat-based play
• Vent hole at the base helps prevent suction during use
• Supports slower eating and mental stimulation
• Compatible with freezing for extended engagement
• Large internal opening accommodates oversized chews and fillings
• Pairs with the Medium MAXX HD Stick to create adjustable puzzle challenges
• Proudly made in the USA
• Guaranteed for life

A built-in vent hole at the base allows air to flow through the toy during use, helping prevent suction from forming inside the cavity. This design reduces the risk of a dog’s tongue becoming stuck and supports safer, more controlled engagement during enrichment.

The Work-To-Eat can be filled with a variety of dog-safe options such as kibble, training treats, or spreadable fillings. For added challenge, it can be placed in the freezer after filling. The firmer contents and cold texture naturally extend interaction time and keep dogs engaged longer without increasing excitement.

Thanks to its larger opening, the Work-To-Eat is well-suited for holding larger-diameter yak cheese sticks that often don’t fit into standard treat holders. This makes it a practical option for dogs that enjoy long-lasting chews but benefit from added structure during use.

For dogs that enjoy more complex challenges, the Work-To-Eat pairs well with the Medium MAXX HD Stick to create a simple puzzle. A small amount of oil on the end of the stick allows it to be inserted into the opening. Placing the stick deeper increases difficulty, letting you adjust the challenge based on your dog’s experience level.
