JW Pet Crackle Heads Ball Dog Toy, Color Varies

I ordered these for a couple of small dogs that can be rough on toys. The terrier mix dog loves noisy toys and the "crinkle" like a water bottle is fun for the Shih Tzu. The dogs were thrilled when the delivery truck arrived, because they know which truck brings the Chewy boxes. Unfortunately, these balls weren't a hit. The plastic center doesn't make much crinkle noise, they don't really bounce and other than attempting to chew off the outer open designed covering for a short time, the balls haven't been of interest, I am passing them on to a friend who fosters for rescue lots to see if anybody there might like them. good thing we tried a new treat also.

I was so excited to receive this crackle ball. My Blue Heeler puppy just loves chasing balls and loves chewing on crackly plastic water bottles and this toy had both of her true loves combined, she and I were elated! We played with it that first day and she loved it, but by the end of the second day....not so much. Upon closer examination our ball had cracked it's last crackle and the bottle inside was completely flat. My girl was devastated and chooses to no longer include this toy in her play, so there it sits, banished, next to her Rudolph toy. In summation, this toy possesses the attempt to combine two wonderful toys however, JW Pet needs to go back to the drawing board with regards to I was so excited to receive this crackle ball.

My dog loves this toy for the week or two that it lasts. We have a young dog (11 months) that wants to chew everything. This ball is his favorite. By the end of the first day he has it tore open and the inside out. The inside crunch last 3 or 4 days with him chewing on it. The rest of the ball is soft rubber that he chews on and pulls on. I pick up small chunks of it for the next two weeks while he chews it apart. I know this sounds terrible but it keeps him busy and he is not chewing baseball caps, clothes, floors, and furniture.

This lasted 2 hours and I believe an hour of that time it was sitting on floor not being played with. Our dog is a Aussie Mini one year old and is a little destructive on her toys from time to time but most would last weeks and weeks not just a hour or two.

This is one of those toys that have a strong order to it, almost like vanilla like, I had to put it outside for a few days before giving it to my dogs. Even outside for days and rained on didn’t get rid of the smell. However it will be an outdoor toy for my dogs

This toy lasted less than an afternoon before our super chewer had it apart and in several pieces. Needless to say, I took it away from her. Was this not designed for pups to play rough with? .... perhaps I was mistaken.

This ball/toy is not for big chewers. We have a Golden Retriever 1 year old and I was excited to get her a ball that makes noise for playing fetch and entertaining a playful puppy. I was disappointed when she was able to destroy this ball in less than 20 minutes. I was expecting the rubber to be a little more durable, but needless to say it wasn’t.

My dog gets SO much entertainment out of this toy...it’s definitely her favorite...we replace often when the crackle gets worn down -the toy is still usable we only replace bc she enjoys the crackle so much!!

After just 5 minutes, I had to take the ball away from my 15-pound chihuahua-terrier mix because that was all the time she needed to tear the outside material apart. For me, this ball cost about $50 per hour.

Do not get this ball if your dog is a chewer. I was shocked my 12 lb dog destroyed this so quickly. Guess she liked the crackle. We had lots of tiny pieces of green plastic around.
