KONG Squeezz Crackle Ball for Dogs, Color Varies

Bowie, our dog has a strong chew drive. Other balls we tried lasted just days or were so hard you wouldn’t want the bouncing around in a house...until we found this ball and the matching bone. Finally dog toys that would last for months and be house friendly. We purchased this product for years...at least until now... The quality has dropped and these balls literally come apart at the seams within days. Worst part is the shredded plastic pieces inside that can be ingested. While this wasn’t a problem for us before as we used to be able check for the split during daily play and replace them before they were a problem. Now we’re finding the seams have split the same day or next. Bring back Bowie, our dog has a strong chew drive.

I was totally disappointed in this ball, I have come to expect much better from Kong. My dog had this ripped apart in 2 days, inside was a small open end type ball which would of been destroyed in less than 15 minutes. What made it worse was the crackle. The crackle is small, thin, pieces of plastic inside that would be easily swallowed. Do not recommend this ball for any dog that will actually chewy on it.

My pittie pup had it split open less than 24 hours after receiving. The crackle bone is still intact after a few months though. Loved the idea of the ball but the seam is just too weak.

My Dog Tucker loves his Kong Balls and we’ve had great luck with their durability. The Newer ‘Crackle’ Ball unfortunately did not live up to the past reputation. Within a week or less the new crackle ball has already split, coming apart at the seam. I’m not sure of any way to fix or glue it back together safely so I’ll need to spend another $10 to buy a new one. The positive about the ball is instead of a loud squeak it’s a softer crackle making it easier on the ears.

I bought this for my ball obsessed german shepard. Within the first 30 minutes of him playing with it, it has already broken. Granted it does not specify that it is for a chewer but the adhesive holding the two halves together just came right off. Not impressed.

We received a perfectly satisfactory emerald green "crackle ball". I thought my dog would love it, as she adores her toys that used to squeak & now just make air whooshing noises. This toy makes no air whooshing noise. Major bummer. She is so not interested. "Mom get that crunchy thing out of my face & go find my plastic green f*rt bone!" It was worth a try.

I got this for my foster pup for an idea on something to play with that she doesn't just pick at the seams (all stuffed ones that is her go to move) so this seemed like an option. She has taken to playing with herself she's realized if she drops it off the end of the couch or the top of the 2 step drop off it bounces and she can play catch with herself (funny because she won't play catch with me) she runs after it usually hitting it with her paws trying to get it sending it rolling/bouncing further and it's just fun to watch overall. She plays with it and will chew at it a bit but I guess she doesn't like chewing it as much because she leaves it be and doesn't try to rip it open like normal tennis I got this for my foster pup for an idea on something to play with that she doesn't just pick at the seams (all stuffed ones that is her go to move) so this seemed like an option.

Disappointed in this ball. I got a medium but was pretty sure I bought a large. My German shepherds split them in half within two hours of them playing with them. Thought kong would last better than that. Don’t think the size made a difference.

My dog is a 90 pound shepherd boxer hound mix. I ordered this ball large. It’s much smaller than I thought it would be. But he loves it anyway.

While this ball was ideal because it did not squeek, it turns out our lab mix puppy is an extreme chewer, and she bit pieces off within 30 minutes. If your dog is not a toy destroyer, this would be a nice ball
