This is made of hard plastic. Does it scratch hardwood floors when the dog plays with it to retrieve the food?

We have laminated floors so can't answer that, but don't bother. It didn't last a day. Our golden chewed the edges and the screw on cap popped off anytime he just dropped it on the floor. I think it's the only product I ever commented about on Amazon.

My dog has chewed the edges of the mushroom so I would say at this point it has potential to scratch floors but not when it was new.

I haven't noticed any scratches but i have old floors. I usually lock him in they kitchen with it

I also have hardwood floors, and it hasn't scratched them from what I can tell (my dog mainly plays on the carpet with it). It is designed to roll and doesn't have much of an area that would scratch floors.

So far it hasn't damaged our floors. Our dog takes it to an area with carpet and uses his "special way" of getting the food out. He flips it over, taps the top on the floor and then flips it to get any food that was released. It isn't really rolling around much. So far it is lasting great and he loves it. Increases the time he is eating- so he doesn't inhale his food and choke.

It's pretty tough plastic. We had rat/ant problems in our garage eating the dog food, which is why I bought this. I haven't had any problems with them biting into it or ants getting into the food since the lid is the spinning kind.

It is a plastic cap. Seems smooth and is somewhat tapered. I personally do not think it would scratch a hardwood floor.

I have wood floors. It did not scratch. When I brought it back inside I always checked the bottom for dirt and rocks. It is a wonderful dog enclosure. Just strong enough for my ShizTsu and not too heavy for me to move. I now own 2 of them..

This toy is made of hard plastic. It is not very noisy, just the noise of kibbles rolling around inside as your dog rolls the toy to get the treats. It is a fun toy for a dog. :)

I bought this for my grand niece for Christmas so haven't used it yet. It appears to be a soft plastic bristle and I don't believe it would scratch the floor.

The wheels are made of the same plastic as the rest of the toy (like that of a play kitchen). If you take it out on a road they will be scratched and then I personally wouldn't want it on my hardwood, but if you keep it as an inside toy, you're safe! Our baby got this at 12 mo and is now 21 mo and keeps loving it more and more! :)

It has wooden rollers (wheels). I have it on carpet so can't tell you if it would scratch.

No - I use it on my wood floors and it does not scratch them..the plastic "wheels" seem to go over the floors just fine.

It's really hard, rigid industrial plastic. My pit bull scrapes it up with his teeth but that's all he can do to it. I also take it away when his chin gets scuffed a bit. Expect a little blood and a happy happy dog. If my kids come home filthy with scuffed knees, I know they've had fun - same with the dog!

Not really soft. It is a plastic material. I don't think it hurts the paws, but it didn't stop the tracking in of litter. I wish we hadn't purchased it.

It is somewhat heavy duty plastic. One of our big dogs ran through it when it was pulled taught and it ripped. I think it would take awhile for an animal to chew through it. A powerful animal might be able to rip it with claws. It will also need to be secured to the ground or they will go up under it.

The food is not heavy and when dropped it sounds like a childs toy block hitting the floor. I have hardwood floors too, and that's how the food sounds when it falls on the floor. Hope this was helpful.

the hard plastic tray that goes underneath he cant really get to it since the edges extend past the inside perimeter its really hard for a dog to get to it and chew ont it. I use it for my my not so young puppy now have not had any problems as far as chewing is concerned, especially since its galvanized and not painted it is really not atractive to dogs

It didn't scratch ours, but we have actual hardwood, not a laminate product on our floors. Also, the toy pushes well on carpet, but not so much in the grass on the lawn.

I think it was hard plastic. I wouldn't buy it anymore because my dogs broke it I think within a week. This is probably more for small dogs.
