How to Use a Buster Cube

Start the dog playing or eating by rolling the cube across the floor. The dog will use its nose to move the cube and gradually learn how to empty it, or in other words, the dog is rewarded with food or treats the more it plays with the cube. It is of course important to consider the extra nutritional energy intake provided through the cube. Therefore the daily amount of food must be kept at a level corresponding to the dog's needs in order to avoid obesity. As the dog gets more experienced and empties the cube faster, it is possible to increase the level of difficulty and thus maintain the value of the cube. This is done by turning the cylinder towards maximum or minimum respectively in order to adjust the speed at which the food is released during play

A Few Helpful Hints

• Be careful not to pinch your fingers when turning the tube! For filling and easy cleaning the central cylinder can be removed. Put your finger into the hole of the cylinder and turn towards MAX. Turn anticlockwise again until you hear a sound. Now it is possible to extract the cylinder. When replacing the cylinder please note that the tabs on the cylinder are three different sizes and should be placed into the three slots of corresponding sizes in the opening of the cube. Turn the cylinder clockwise towards MIN. When you hear the click sound, then the cylinder is back in place and will turn only between MIN. and MAX.
• Put the dry food into the Buster Cube through the opening.
• Turn cube to distribute the food into the various compartments inside.
• Turn the central cylinder in the Buster Cube to adjust the level of difficulty.

Buster Cube FAQ

How can I get maximum benefit from the Buster Cube?
By using it as much as possible with the dog. The more you activate the dog with the Buster Cube, the more pleased the dog will get using it, and the more the companionship between you and your dog is strengthened.

Are all dogs able to use the Buster Cube?
Yes, the cube rolls very easily and the dog does not need a lot of strength to activate the cube. Just remember that the Buster Food Cube is for large dogs and the Buster Mini Cube for small dogs.

How do I teach my dog to use a Buster Cube?
When the dog is introduced to a Buster Cube for the first time, the degree of difficulty is set at "max". Fill the cube with dry food, approx. one spoonful. Rotate the Buster Cube a couple of times to distribute the food in the cube. Place the Buster Cube on the floor or ground with the hole facing upwards and let the dog smell at the hole. Push the Cube for the dog so that he can see how it works and soon learn what to do. In no time it will be necessary to change the degree of difficulty. Another good way of teaching the dog how to use the cube is to give it its usual dry food by means of the Buster Cube. When the dog scents the well-known smell of food, it will activate the cube to get the food out.

How do I adjust the level of difficulty?
You can turn the inner tube from min. to max. When it is turned to max, the opening is widest and the largest amount of food will get out. Max. is the easy level and min. is the difficult level.

How do I clean the cube?
The Buster Cube is easy to clean if necessary. It is for example safe to put it in the dish washer. It goes without saying that it has to be difficult to remove the inner tube or the dog would much too easily be able to get it out and bite it to pieces. Therefore we recommend that you do not remove it unless it is absolutely necessary.

What do I do if I have more than one dog?
That is very simple; one Buster Cube per dog, or disturbance and problems will arise, especially if one of the dogs empties the Cube faster than the other. Also, if you have a large and a small dog, you will need to have both a Buster Food Cube and a Buster Mini Cube.

What type of food can I use in a Buster Cube?
First and foremost it does of course have to be dry food and preferably the dry food you usually give your dog. You can also use treats, but be aware of the fact that you are giving the dog extra calories and therefore you have to reduce the amount of its usual food to avoid obesity.
