JW Pet Crackle Heads Crackle Ball Crunchy Noise Chew Fetch Toy for Dogs, Assorted Colors, Large 4' Diameter

My lab loves this toy and hasn't destroyed it. He loves to chew, and this toy crackles but does not break. He carries it around with him.

My red Heeler loves these balls, second only to Tennis balls but she destroys those within minutes and they are outside only. This is her inside ball. She is hard on toys and has the strongest bite of any dog I've had (shepherds, collies, weimaraners, retrievers, Labs) yet these continue to last. She catches the ball, we play tug of war with it (she places it in hand hand and pulls only when I have a firm grip, she shakes it and flings it. The rubber outside even outlasts the water-bottle like plastic piece inside. Steps holds the ball with her foot and pulls on the rubber with her mouth, stretching it to sometimes twice its size. I pull while shes pulling. This thing gets abused daily and keeps on going. Its the most used toy and she brings it to me to play with every day. Each ball lasts about 6 months before the inside ball is toast and the outer rubber is finally starting to tear/break. which for me in an incredibly long time. If this ball is available to play, she wants it over all others. Shes NEVER gotten a piece off to actually swallow and that alone is worth the price.

It was a bit too big for my Papillon puppy, it was also a lot harder than I expected. She loves crinkle stuffies, so I thought she’d like this, but getting it to crinkle was pretty difficult. Great for a dog over 15lbs, smaller pups I would skip it.

My dog loves to play with this ball. Loves the crackling noise.

My one year old corgi LOVED it for about an hour before he completely destroyed it. So not for aggressive chewer but probably a great toy for smaller, older dogs.

My review does not necessarily reflect on the initial intention of this ball, even though that is why I bought it. My dog loves to crunch water bottles. I guess its the sound and the tactile feedback for him. He has recently lost his sight due to old(er) age. I had bought these along with another ball that makes a lot of noise as it rolls, so that he could still play his favorite game, as I could see his frustration trying to find balls and toys as I rolled them by him. I bought these for the crunch. What I did not count on was that he would fully collapse the interior which made this the perfect toy for him to chase through the house as it now rattles as it rolls. He absolutely loves this ball. He will still alternate through his other toys, even the ones that he can not hear, but this is the one that when he hears the rattle, he comes for it. He took it to bed the first few weeks and would "look" all over for it when he couldn't find it. I ended up buying another set, as I do not want him to be without, if this one should ever get destroyed or lost. On the quality, the interior, obviously, crushed pretty quick, as it is designed to. However, it is still crunchy and has not come apart or fallen out. The rubber exterior has stood up to his aggressive chewing and pulling with out starting to separate or tear. The "small" size is perfect for my 20lb pupper and is perfect size for him to grab and chew.

Our pomsky has 6 of these balls. It is one of very few toys he can't chew up. He loves the crinkle noise. We have to play ball every night before bed.

did not know what to leave. brand new out of box and inner plastic was already busted. looking at other pic they seem to be round with outer rubber toy. new one was being delivered free of charge. is this normal for inner plastic to be busted??? packaging was fine
