Best dog toy ever
So good I bought another. My dog is obsessed with this. The only downfall is after she has chewed it a bit l, it becomes sharp to open

Fun and durable toy
Lots of fun for this crazy guy! He pounces on it, chases it and has so much fun. The confusion on his face is so funny. He usually gets bored fast, however this ball keeps him quite entertained.
The ball holds a charge for a few playtimes so that is also a plus!

Great toy
Color: Blue
Great toy, too bad my Shih Tzu is afraid of it. I love the way the movement is subtle and random.

I wouldn’t recommend this for strong chewers.
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Is it fun? Sure. Was it easy to charge and set up? Yep. That being said, this toy kind of fell flat for me. It really didn’t do any big movements once charged that I expected it to, so that was a bummer. I initially got it for my dog, but my cats were more interested in this than my dog was. The battery does seem to last a long time and the motor is pretty quiet. I WOULD NOT recommend this toy for strong chewers as the material for this is a foam rubber and I don’t think it’s durable enough for strong chewers. While the material makes this ball extremely lightweight for more movement, a strong chewer would have this disintegrated in five minutes flat. My Dog is a super strong chewer. I don’t think I would feel comfortable leaving him unattended with this because I know he would destroy it.
