KONG Squeezz Crackle Ball for Dogs, Color Varies

I had to stop buying squeaker tennis balls for my two German Shepherds because they would chew on them like crazy and I had read that the outer material can wear down the enamel of their teeth. I was over the moon happy to discover these crackle balls. The problem is after a short while the balls begin to open up along the seam. Rather than throw them away, I purchased a fast drying glue on amazon for about $4 - let me tell you, this glue dries insanely fast! So I highly recommend you wear some thin medical type gloves when using. I run a thin strip of glue along the seam and set the ball aside for 30 minutes. Even though the glue adheres in literally 10 seconds, I like to make sure it’s completely I had to stop buying squeaker tennis balls for my two German Shepherds because they would chew on them like crazy and I had read that the outer material can wear down the enamel of their teeth.

I glued my finger the 1st time I used it and I was extremely careful. It happened in like 3 seconds! Once glued, the ball seems to last about a week of every day chewing before it needs another round of glue. My pups love this ball, so I had to make it work. … more

I ordered this ball, another Kong toy and a bag of dog food. When I received the package I opened it up and opened ball. Threw it down the hallway for my dog to play with. In the time it took me to get the other Kong toy out of its Packaging give it to the other dog and bring the dog food bag downstairs to the basement the first dog had completely demolished the ball. I took it away from her and put it on the counter because I was going to call chewy and let them know. She sat next to me whining and crying because she wanted that darn ball so bad. So I thought I'd trick her and put it in a box and put it on top of the fridge and she actually sniffed it out and then stood in front of the fridge I ordered this ball, another Kong toy and a bag of dog food.

Not the Christmas present she was hoping for I don't think! … more

These balls are my dog's favorite fetch toys! My Black Mouth Cur (I also have a toy fox terrier that's a chewer) likes to sit and chew on it like gum and it doesn't come apart. The only way it is destroyed is when one of them meticulously chews on the seams and tries to purposefully take out the center. They last for weeks or a few months and I replace them. I have about 10 on standby and one at work, in the car, in their sleepover bag and many at home. It's the only ball brand I keep in the house, they destroy everything else within minutes.

I bought this ball as a stocking stuffer for my 85 pound Belgian Malinois. He prefers squishy balls that he can bite all the way down on, and I liked it because it didn't have a squeaker to annoy me after 5 minutes. Kong usually makes high quality products so I was very surprised that, after only one use (approximately 30 minutes), it fell apart. The seam in the middle came unglued and my dog was able to get to all the "crinkle" pieces inside. I don't know if maybe I got a defective one so I'm thinking of trying it again because the price is right but my pup and I are so disappointed.

I was really excited about this product because I have a Rottweiler and he needs tough toys. Also he's like obsessed with balls. I mean so obsessed he brings them in his bed and wherever he goes. So I got the XL, but it came in a large. And he had it for about a month and today he was playing with a white ball which he didn't have before. Came out and saw that the ball had broken at the seem. I thought this was a durable ball. Kinda sucks

My dog just loves toys that crinkle and these are a great alternative to squeaky toys. He has had the stick version of this for a 1.5 year with no damage other being faded from the sun. He loves crunching them! My 50lb. poodle mix also loves playing with the ball and it hasn't split like some customers have had issues with. Almost ALL of the toys in their box are Kong for being affordable, durable, safe and of course, fun.

My grand dog loves this ball. He is a large young Doberman with lots of energy. He loves mouthing this ball because it makes noise similar to bones crunching. He loves to chew on, it so it keeps him entertained, not only can he chew it but he can chase it. I have a basket of toys for him but he picks this toy on a regular basis! Kong in general are great toys because they are almost indestructible.

I bought this ball for my doberman. We have other toys from this same "crackle" or "squeezz" line that have held up, but this one was completely destroyed in one hour...literally. From the start, it didn't really crackle much, but the bigger issue is that it busted at the seam after 30 minutes of her playing with it. It came completely apart and split into two hemispheres and then all the crackle material came spilling out. Was not worth the money and it is not as durable as the crackle stick. After it split open, she was then able to tear pieces off of it. I won't be wasting my money on another one of these since it appears that they can't hold up to bouncing and chewing.

My dog loves this toy. But. He has had it for only 10 days and it has split apart at the seam. He is a 50 pound golden puppy - he squeezes the ball in his jaws, but does not actively chew/grind on it with his molars. He only gets to play with it for about 10 minutes each morning, so I expected a lot more days of play before a fall apart.

My husband isn't a fan of squeaker balls because the dog will squeak all day, this ball eliminates the noisy squeaker and replaces it with an easily tolerated crunching noise, which keeps him engaged and crunching away. 14 month old Rottie plays and didn't chew holes in it. Just crunching....for hours and days now!
