JW Pet Crackle Heads Ball Dog Toy, Color Varies

I got this because my pups really liked a wool dryer ball, which is slightly larger than a tennis ball, that accidentally fell onto the floor when I wasn’t looking. Thought I’d get them a more dog friendly substitute. The ball has good bounce. It is a bit smaller than a baseball or tennis ball. It is VERY hard, tho. My mini doxies ran after it the first time. They couldn’t get a bite of it-a little too big, and quite stiff, not soft enough to get a grip. They Ignored it after that. I thought about giving it to my son who has an Irish doodle who is large. We are afraid he might swallow it. This would probably be fine for a mid sized dog, though.

Just received it today, glad I ordered 2. My 9 month old pug seems to really enjoy this new ball. I think he likes the way it sounds as he crushes down on it. I like that they use the soft rubber like their other balls and having the plastic ball inside makes it a bit interactive. Sounds like squishing a plastic water bottle which I don’t mind/ I feel like this would help other dogs with teething/chewing. I have several of those nylon bones and he looses interest in those pretty quickly. I literally took it away for a couple seconds just to look at it and my dog just did a faint whine. He’s never done that before, so I guess he enjoys it. It’s the size of a racketball just for reference and Just received it today, glad I ordered 2.

Well, the answer to that question is mom's Chanel ballet flats, but I digress. Love this! It bounces, it crackles, the bright green makes it easy for when I play my favorite game of Mom and Dad Look Under the Couch for My Toy, I can chew it without destroying it, it's a win. PS I want another one, bummer they are out of stock!

My Queensland heeler is a powerhouse and destroys every toy in the first hour, or they are too boring and never get much interest. This ball is amazing. She absolutely loves it. It makes that fun crunchy sound, she hasn't been able to chew pieces off of it. She tosses it around, brings it to me to throw or tug. This toy is an absolute winner. Weeks later and it's still her favorite.

Lucy was afraid of the pop sound on her first crackle ball but after that she played with it for 3 solid days by herself after the pop noise stopped then she wanted me to play with it with her. So that's why she got a new one and have something to play with by herself and I don't always have to entertain her.

I was really hoping that my 10lb dachshund mix would enjoy this toy, but it's just too big for her. She tears through most of her toys, so I was looking for a durable toy that would last longer than a day or two. This is definitely one of her least favorite toys because there's no way for her to really get a grasp on this ball. The inside is made out of a hard plastic that makes a "pop" sound when you squeeze on it, but there's no way a 10lb dog can do that. It's been a bust in our house, but I can see it being a good alternative for a medium sized dog!

My Yorkie LOVES this toy. We gave it to her a week ago and it's still her favorite toy. It fits nicely in her mouth, is soft, and she loves the crinkle noise. Yet unlike some other balls, she's not chewing it. At least not yet. :)

We bought a smaller 1 that lasted 1 day before our dog punctured the inner ‘crackle’ liner. So we bought the larger 1 thinking it’d last longer. Literally 5 minutes later he punctured this larger 1. Good concept but it doesn’t last. Now he just has another ball.

If ya have a heavy chewer it will be destroyed shortly. My GSD still loves playing with the ball. She did destroy the crinkly part with in 20 min. But the outside construction is wonderful. She has had a few from this company and they are still in working order.

I have a super-chewer male boxer (9 months old) and a 6 year old female and they LOVE these crinkle ball toys! They have even "tug 'o warred" with them and they've managed to survive. I'd give this toy a 10 out of 10 rating!!
