Looooves her crazy new ball
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Our 90lb mastiff/boxer mix Indie is very playful, curious and energetic. She needs toys that engage her and keep her busy. This ball does the job!
Weโve had it for less than a week. Hereโs what I love and what could be better:
PROS:
โข She dog loves it. She whines for it. She gets absurdly excited when I get it out. Sheโs a bit of an anxious dog, but had zero problems with it inexplicably coming to life.
โข It lasts a while on a single charge, so it keeps her busy for a good long time. The longest weโve used it at a stretch is an hour.
โข Itโs pretty durable. Sheโs a super chewer (destroyed every โnon-destructibleโ toy weโve purchased for her), but the actual ball is hard plastic. She gnaws on it and it gets scratches, for sure. But sheโs not going to chew it to pieces.
โข On carpet, itโs reasonably quiet.
โข It comes with a replaceable silicone button.
โข Itโs easy to chargeโฆjust pull off the silicone button and the charging port is inside.
โข The silicone button is flush with the ballโs hard plastic surface, so thereโs no way for her to pull the silicone button out and swallow it or get to the charging port.
CONS:
โข Cover is worthless if your dog is a chewer. It goes on like an envelope with a Velcro closure. We took it off immediately.
โข Without the cover, itโs very noisy on hardwood floors. To us, itโs worth it. (Though, I work from home, so I might feel differently after the holiday vacation.)
โข Sheโs an XL dog, so she can fit the whole ball in her mouth easily and accidentally chomp down on the button and turn the ball off. Not a big deal, just something to know if youโve got a Lab or larger dog.
โข With extended playtime, the two halves can come unscrewed, especially with a large dog who uses their paws/jaws on it a lot. Thankfully, it makes a loud buzzing noise when this happens, so we know we need to take it from her and screw it back together. Is this a potential danger? With the rechargeable battery inside, Iโd say yes. But we also donโt let her play with this toy without supervision. So keep that in mind.
Bottom line:
It has its drawbacks, but it keeps her entertained and seems like it should last her at least 6 months with supervised play. Which is honestly REALLY good when weโre talking about Indie, Destroyer of Toys. Iโd buy it again.
