If you have a puppy, you know! Finding a ball should seem like an easy purchase, but each ball and each puppy are indeed unique. The challenge to find a ball the puppy likes, cannot destroy and keeps the puppy busy for more than a few seconds is real!
After a few purchases that were fails. And fails mostly because this little puppy is also a tough little chewer; who knew such teeny tiny teeth could pierce even rubber toys advertised as tough enough!
A Winner
This ball fits the assignment for this puppy! Light enough for the puppy to toss, roll, bounce and play with or without a person. The ball is very gentle on hard floors and bouncing off furniture. While advertised as a puzzle ball which could contain treats, the holes are fairly big so the treats would need to be hole sized. We found success by putting a smelly treat in a wad of crumpled paper and leaving the paper in the ball.
The treat did fall out, but the Holee Roller ball now has a sound with the crumpled paper which the puppy loves also.
Sizes
The puzzle ball comes in three sizes:
Small 3.0 inch diameter
Medium 4.5 inch diameter
Large 5.5 inch diameter
Assorted Colors
Including Blue, Pink, Black, Green
Price Point
When dealing with the chaos of puppy management I suspect most owners will gladly pay for a toy that amuses their puppy/adolescent/dog. The balls are not inexpensive, but average priced.
There is an extreme version made of tougher rubber for the more aggressive pup when playing. As always, supervision is required and the roller balls are not for land sharks of the puppy kingdom.
The crinkley sound from the paper sounds good. From our experience with the poodle Pepe, sound adds to the enjoyment of a ball. This one sounds like a winner. Thanks, Tracey.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good recommendation
ReplyDeleteUmm, I might have a land shark of the puppy kingdom, but he does love balls! I think he might NEED one of these JW Pet HOLee Roller Balls. Of course, he will lose it under the junipers trees in the back yard, but until it "disappears", I know he will love it. It would be nice if he would keep it indoors, but everything goes outside with him the minute the back door opens.
ReplyDeletePuppy balls sound like a lot of fun and a great gift for someone about to adopt a new little four legged baby. I imagine a cat would have some fun with it too! Thanks for pointing this out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteWonderful suggestion, I’ll be keeping this in mind!!
ReplyDeleteThese puppy balls sound like a great find. Such a good idea to wad treats up in the paper to place inside, entertainment is so important for our pets.
