i am planning on buying the twist'n treat but if anyone had experience with them, i wouldn't mind hearing some experiences.

first of all, my terrier mix is 20 lbs. for reference he has a medium kong. should i assume he should use a medium twist'n treat as well?

how exactly do dogs get the treats out? based on the shape of the twist'n treat, it seems like the logical way to get it out is to make it spin and have the treat fly out. but i would imagine in practice that a dog will just chew the hell out of it and food just falls out randomly.

this is more of a general question but how many treats do people typically put inside these types of toys. in the images on this site, some of the toys it looks like they are filled to the brim. and i'm probably sensitive to this because i don't have a large dog. I'm guessing this is owner judgement. the feeding recommendation for my dog is 1-1.25 cups per wellness kibble. so I feed him a little under 1 cup because I also give him treats. I don't do any precise measurements, i just eye ball it.

I just fill mine with their kibble and maybe a couple of Zukes or pieces of homemade beef jerkey to keep them interested.

Even my serious chewer doesn't chew on it, he bats it around and chases it like crazy and will keep doing so until the food is all gone and then he looses interest.

My dog loved the twist n treat for the first hour, but then he figured out exactly how to bite it to get all the treats to come out at once. I passed it on to another dog.

I really like the Leo toy from Canine Genius. Ripley spends quite a bit of time working the treats out of the toy, especially if I stuff it with a good trail mix of different sizes of treats. Random rewards.
