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

I’m rating this based on my dogs’ response to this toy – they absolutely love it, and it has seen more use without damage than any of their regular throwing toys. At the same time, unless you enjoy, REALLY ENJOY the sound of crunching water bottles, you may not like having this ball in the house. Pros: The rubber outer shell of the ball is durable, and can survive both chewing and pulling forces (as a note, my dogs do not concentrate on chewing - they use it more for play games). It’s big enough for my dogs to play tug of war with it, hooking their teeth in the mesh, and they since it bounces around if they drop or kick it, it makes the game more interesting than rope. They did crush the interior plastic, but they don't really seem to care. It’s much more engaging than a normal ball, and can be modified to hold treats, sticks, rope elements and other external bits, which my shepherd mix loves; he gets bored easily and frequently, and this can actually entertain him. Cons: This toy is loud, and produces repetitive crunching sounds. It is apparently really engaging to chew, and my dogs will produce the horrid plastic crackling up to half an hour at a time. If you let your dogs in and out, it would make a fine outdoor toy, but since I have a dog door, it migrates around to pretty much wherever the dogs are. I kind of hate it, but will probably buy another if they break this one since they enjoy it so much.

Dog loves it! Not as crinkly, but still enjoyed even if smashed a bit.

The inside of these was like a plastic cola bottle but it's smashed flat pretty fast so doesn't crinkle much anymore. The outside of the ball is pretty tough so far and hasn't been chewed. I wouldn't recommend for a super heavy chewer but our 2 year old puppy isn't quite the chewer he was as a puppy so I think it's going to make it.

Durable and my dogs love it. I have 2 very aggressive chewers, one Belgian and one GSD that prefer the crinkle sound over squeaking, and they love this toy! It has held up pretty well too.

The inside “crackle” part broke immediately. Still ok for playing with, outside is durable

This ball send to be safe for medium and large dogs, my doodle loves the noise.

My Catahoula Leopard dog is obsessed with this ball! And so far he hasn't destroyed it, which is an amazing testament to the durability of the ball!

Bought these balls several times and the only reason it is getting three stars instead of five is my corgi crunches the middle apart the first day and the second day, he starts tearing the outside apart.

Petite balle sympa , mais après quelques jours que le chien à joué l'intérieur qui est censé craquer reste broyé et ne fait plus de bruit ! Donc le chien n'est plus intéressé...

Prima speelgoed voor mijn twee honden ! Ik had er enkele jaren terug eentje gekocht en hij beviel prima. Maar na drie jaar was hij aan vervanging toe. Ik kon echter nergens een winkel vinden die deze ballen verkocht. Plots kwam ik hem tegen bij Amazon en heb er onmiddellijk VIER besteld en kreeg verschillende kleuren geleverd. De honden zijn weer erg blij ( en ik ook ! ) :)

My American Bully destroys all of her toys but the JW ones last longer than most. She likes the noise this one makes while chewing on it.

These are the best balls ever, my dogs love them. They are tough and dont break easily. They get a tough work out every day and the rubber is still intact. The crunch inside is no longer a ball shape but it still crunches. They are the longest lasting balls I have ever come across. Highly reco mend them.

This ball style has been my Bouv's favorite. I purchase the large one because I don't want any choking hazards. It doesn't take him long to destroy the plastic ball inside the ball. Then the ball becomes a great tossing ball. Gentle on my dogs mouth, they have lasted longer than most balls we've tried. He will amuse himself with the ball and goes to get them to play. He knows he has to bring his toys inside when done playing and they are easy for him to find. He can easily destroy the ball within minutes so if you have a destructive dog this might not be the ball for your dog. However, saying that, if you spend the time to train your dog not to destroy the ball it will last years. How we trained him after he destroyed the first two balls was when we were done playing ball with him, the balls were taken from him and stored out of reach. If while playing ball he started to chew instead of retrieving he was told 'no' and the ball removed before being destroyed. If he continued to play catch without reverting to chewing we kept playing. If he laid down to chew again, we took the ball away until the next game of catch. It didn't take him long to figure out we didn't want him destroying the balls. They are now left in his toy box and he goes and gets them when he wants us to play with him. We've had several through his life,..and I'm ordering more to make sure I have them throughout his life. He isn't perfect he will still chew through one at least once a year or so. We still feel he deserves them and feel we are getting lots of bang for our buck.
