Pet QwerksX-Tire Ball Dog Toys - Animal Sound Interactive Chew Toy - Medium

Durability..Our border collie chewed through this (the black tire part)Noise…Our dog was afraid of some of the animal noisesALSO they keep going sometimes even when on the shelfHINT…KEEP the little plastic thing that comes with the toy that “stops the sounds” TRUST MEAs we would put this toy away and randmly it made soundsThis wasn’t cheap so no not worth the priceEVENTUALLY we threw this away and even after i tried to soak in water…, ruin the noise part it still made faint noises.So in the outside garbage bin it did make some weird noises which was funny hearing “cow, rooster and cat” noises in our binSo if you chuck it chuck right before garbage gets taken out so no one thinks you have animals in there

The media could not be loaded.  My dog loves these babble balls, but we always have to stuff them inside another, softer ball so that he can play with them. This tire ball lets him have something he can grab hold of to carry the ball around and tug with us. Yes, these are annoying, but it's a small price to pay when they bring the dogs such joy.I was concerned, based on other reviews, that the tire would be a hard plastic. It is plastic but it's not hard; it's flexible and "squishes" enough for my dog to grab the toy.We have several babble balls, and we replace the batteries pretty frequently. That is my only complaint with these; the way my dog plays, we maybe get a week out of the batteries if I let him have it all the time. I take it away from him after about 15 minutes because he gets too excited with it and because he will wear the batteries down so quickly. It takes little L44 button batteries when you need to replace them.So far he is very happy with this toy, and I'm happy with the price. He loves it.Update 11/7: both the tire and the ball are dead now. They shredded the tire after about 3 weeks, but the ball was ok. Normally, we just replace the batteries in Babble balls. However, the screws were impossible to get out of this one, and when we got them out by breaking the plastic, all of the electrical parts were rusty from saliva. We replaced the batteries to no avail. I'm a little disappointed because this was a less annoying one than the other two, and there had to be a design flaw because we got long lives out of them (one is still going strong).

This would be a great toy if it was more durable. My dog loved it but demolished it within an hour.

Have a very active puppy who loves to chew! This keeps her very amused.

This is the second time I purchased this for my dog because she loved the first one so much. It was probably her longest lasting and most used toy of all time so worth another shot at this price. Highly recommend. It is a bit noisy though so beware of that. Not the best toy to have while you're on Zoom calls at home!

This was the first toy my rescue puppy played with at her new home with us five years ago ... it eventually stopped working and was cast aside. I always thought it was really clever and different, mostly because it isn't just a repeat of a couple of noises like some (one especially that is awful, just repeating "hey big doggie, I GOT cha!!" eight million times a day, but has over 20 sounds, per its maker. The other day I looked at the old dead one and got the PetQwerks name off it, searched, and found it on good ol' Amazon.As several reviewers note--and as its tag admits--"your dog will love it, but it will drive you crazy" --- I didn't think this would he the case for us, as we'd already had one and enjoyed it along with the pup.BUT I think it is both louder and easier to activate now -- a new and improved version apparently. I think it even irritates the dog, who gives it a "look" when it starts roaring, barking, and screeching across the room, seemingly by itself.The "key" (pun intended) to this problem is to retain the little clear plastic piece that you pull out when you first get the toy working. This piece keeps the battery from making contact and the toy from giving postal workers heart attacks thinking they're delivering a shipment of fighting weasels or illegal wildlife species.I had thrown it away. As soon as I realized my mistake, I tried to make a similar plastic piece, with no luck. Fortunately I found the original, and now keep it in a place where it will not get lost. It would be smarter, come to think of it, to put a colorful and visible tag on it so it won't get lost. As it is, it's as easy to overlook as a contact lens dropped on the floor.Another thing -- I ordered a medium size and got a ball that is larger than I wanted even though my dog is over 90 pounds. It is larger than a tennis ball. Large must be reeally big. Should note also that is is durable and I believe safe.

I would have awarded no stars if it had been an optionMy minnie wirehaired Dachshund has had this LESS than 5 mins and has already chewed the tyre, I have black bits all over my carpetDurable. . . I think notVery disappointed

Still got the toy after about 3 months and it is still being played with. I did not expect the tyre to be hard. I would have liked rubber

I purchased two of these dog toys. The first for my Welsh terrier puppy who has had many happy times playing with it. So sucessful was it that I bought a second one for my friends' dogs. Sad to say the two adult Jack Russells destroyed it in less than ten minutes.

Great idea but tyre material not robust enough. Within 5 mins of my Ridgeback playing with the babble ball it was destroyed. Ended up with him bringing up parts of the tyre overnight in his crate!! What a shame the tyre isn't made of a more substantial rubber like some of his other toys! :-((

our staffie Boris loved playing with this toy but after two or three days of chasing the wheel, had virtualy demolished therubber wheel a pitty that the rubber wasn't stronger . I have bought three up to now. I any wont be bying any more.thank you.
