The Kong has a larger hole on the bottom to put the treat in and and a smaller hole on top. Therefore, the 'vacuum effect' is not likely to occur with this toy. As for the everlasting treat ball, there's a very large hole in which you put the treat in (it fits in like a cap) and I don't believe the 'vacuum effect' will occur with this toy either. In any case, before I bought these two toys, I've done some thorough search through YT forum to see if there were any issues with these two toys and haven't found any. The only thing I would suggest before giving your furbabies the treat that goes with toys, is to give them a little first to see how their stomach will react to it. Last but not the least, make sure you buy the correct size toy for your furbaby.  |
thank you for that info it makes me feel safer about buying one and i see what you mean about 2 holes one on each side i didnt notice that form the other site... Thanks again
