Was pleased until I gave it to my super chewer 10 mo old pup. He very quickly and easily was able to bite/chew off the raised pieces of the tire. Pieces which caused him to gag and choke. Thankfully he is OK and will no longer get it.A total waste of my money. I am so disappointed.Would not have had to return initial purchase if it came with directions on where the release was for the battery. Great item once I found it on the replacement item.Wanted to find something for my dogs to play with in the yard to keep them busy but they could care less. I think it is cool but I am not the intended target. Try and see if your pet shop has it and if your dog responds before buying it.Our puppy loves this toy! She loves carrying it around. Then she drops it, bats it with her paw to make it roll, then it squawks or moos & she barks. It has been left out in the rain a handful of times & still makes all the crazy sounds. It is a just bit louder than necessary. I am sure it probably annoys the neighbors when puppy is playing with itBought the for my 1yo AB’s birthday. She chewed off a chunk immediately. CAUTIONMy pit devoured it! PeriodPups destroyed the tire in hrs.... The sound of the ball was amazing, but died soon after we got it.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 disappointedStill 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 rubberI 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.
