Keep Dogs Sane On Rainy Days

#Ad #Chewy Influencer
Have you heard of or seen these Kong Wobblers? This month as part of the Chewy Influencer program we reviewed the Kong-shaped Wobbler and I wanted to test the product with Bruiser. Bruiser is very persistent! The Wobbler is easy to fill and when the dog pushes it around the treats spill out. I did a quick video of Bruiser enjoying his new interactive toy.
Another great use for the Wobbler? This can be used as an alternative to a dog bowl to help slow and extend mealtime while providing exercise for your dog. The hole in the top part is small so it’s good to break up the treats so they easily fall out at first as I wanted to make sure Bruisy was rewarded often before making it more challenging.
What I like about it?
- I like how easy this is to clean. I have some other Puzzle Toys that are tough to clean and the cookies get stuck which I hate. It’s dishwasher safe, so it’s easy to clean.
- The top screws off from bottom for easy filling.
- It comes in two sizes and I opted for the larger size and Bruisy thinks that’s just fine!
Four Stars!

Theo loves to play tug, so we do that every day. Nelly and Sophie will play with plush toys and sometimes they all run around the house. I know they would all like the Kong Wobbler.
Theo is adorable so playing tug with him I bet is super fun! I bet having them run around together is hilarious -video please!
He’s my service dog, so we go out on rainy work days… but if we don’t go out.. we try and work on canine core fitness or basic obedience just for fun.
That’s fantastic – your partner in crime would likely blow my mind – service dogs are incredible partners.
My (almost) 3yr black lab Abby LOVES all weather! Rain doesn’t stop us from taking a long walk in the neighborhood twice a day. Otherwise we play “fetch” indoors with a soft tennis ball to beat the rainy day blues.
That’s great – Shermie is fine walking in the rain but Walter hates it! Thanks for entering!
Play fetch inside. Tug a war and throw and go seek (hide and seek)
Great rainy day activities!
We stay inside. They hate the rain. We work on the balance balls or just snuggle and watch tv. All except the puppy. She NEEDS something to do!
We need some balance balls – I hear those are great!
Cuddle in bed together on a rainy day.
Us too! Especially with Brui. Thanks for entering!
My dog hates the rainy and gets mopey on rainy days so i have to find ways to entertain him in the house! He usually gets special snacks or bully sticks
Bully sticks rock! Thanks for entering!
my girls have lots of toys, and i mean a lot. i have a big covered deck, that is large enough for us to run and play on, so they have lots of room to run and play. we will run and play on the deck, i will play games with them. also i have a long hallway where we play games. the 2 younger girls love to run up and down. sometimes i will work on training with them in the house or on the deck.
I use our long hallway too for fetch! Thanks for entering!
On a rainy day, I make him sit in one room and wait and then I’ll hide a treat in another room. I go back and release him by saying “ok!” And then I say “find it” and he knows to look for a treat. It’s great nose work and tires him out.
We love nosework! We’re playing that a little today in containers!
I love the Kong Wobbler, it’s such a great way to keep pets mentally stimulated & entertained. Great for rainy days and any other day! Bruisy is so adorable in this video, LOL! He’s so intent on workin’ that Wobbler!
Love & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
I had no idea that such a simple toy could keep Bruisy so entertained! LOL he’s a little OCD when it comes to his puzzle toys. Thanks for entering the Chewy contest!
We play indoors because my dogs hate the rain!
One of mine hates the rain too – a lot! Thanks for entering the contest!
Wow would keep my border collie pup busy
It keeps little Bruisy super busy! I love it!
I have one for Ducky; BUT she eats the dry stuff so fast that it usually ends up coming back up a few minutes later. So, wet food and hand-fed treats only.
I totally get it – sometimes Bruisy needs wet food too and then I end up using the traditional kong for that.
We usually do some training, or maybe toss the ball down the hallway a few times. Often we’ll just go outside and play in the rain, as long as it’s not pouring out!
We are literally waiting for any break in the weather to get outdoors today – or the entire day will be all about puzzle toys!! 🙂 lol.
I give Layla bones to chew on but would love an interactive toy for her and this sounds awesome
You would love this huge Woobler!
The Kong wobbler looks like a ton of fun! Rainy days means indoor fetch for us, and we’re learning basic nose work
Using jars and some essential oils.
Thanks so much for entering! Nosework is an awesome rainy day activity!
My mini doxie, Bowser, keeps me busy with endless games of fetch on rainy days
we love Fecth here too! Sometimes our doxie though doesn’t bring the ball back! 😉 lol.
Rainy days are the worst. However we find out some basic activities to keep my dog lively with fetching and nose work. He loves that!
