Didn't work.
October 30, 2013
These are such cool toys. It worked for less than a minute and this site doesn't do returns if it was out of the packaging. We were very disappointed, because we were excited to use it.

Loves this
October 5, 2013
My dog originally had a gigglin rock and adored it. They don't make those anymore but this is very close to it. She loves it, when she wants it, she sits and unmovingly stares at her toy basket until she gets it!

DISAPPOINTED
September 3, 2013
I was looking forward to getting this toy when I ordered it. I turned it on and as anticipated, my girls loved it and went right over to play with it. One picked it up and took off running, while the other made chase. The toy dropped from the mouth and broke. No more bouncy, bubbly toy. Lasted 10 minutes. If they expect dogs to play with it, they need to find a better way to protect the mechanics. A waste of money.

Bumble Ball
August 29, 2013
I expected it to be a bit bigger, guess i didn't pay attention to dimensions. Otherwise, it's really fun. I liked that it came w/batteries & ready to play with when it arrived. My big dog is actually a bit afraid of it, which makes it more hilarious.

the bumble dog toy is intended for small dogs. My 145 pound German shepherd had crushed it within three minutes. Oh, well...you know what they say...a gift once given no longer belongs to you.

I did my Best
August 13, 2013
My little Chihuahua Mix's wouldn't have a thing to do with them. One took off the other direction, and my female just stood there and looked at it. I couldn't get either to get excited . I bought 2, I guess I'll be returning them. I liked them a lot..

fabulous toy

My English bulldog loves this ball. He plays with it for half an hour stops and rests them plays again. very durable for bullies as long as its running. Once you stop it they"ll break it to shreds. Fun to watch him with it too.

Otis and Claud - Bumble Ball

My dog enjoyed it a lot, but it requires a lot of batteries, which seem to wear out quickly with this toy.

Great for an energetic pet

My Harley is a very energetic, busy little guy who constantly needs things to challenge him. He has great fun with all the movement the Otis and Claude Bumble Ball provides. I think he thinks it is real.

This toy just made my puppy nervous. Drove me crazy with the noise. Too hard when he did try to grab.

Great Idea - Terrible Design
April 22, 2013
We were so excited to have found Bumble Ball and ordered one straight away. It arrived quickly but after 20 minutes of play, the ball was still winding but stopped moving about. To investigate the issue we turned the ball of, removed the screws, opened the top and that reveled the issue. The flexible knobs that show on the outside of the ball, have a hard plastic insert that's just glued into place on the inside. One of those hard gray parts popped right out after just a few minutes of play and with such a small space for the engine to turn, it immediately halted the mechanism from moving (mind you, the engine was still trying to turn and started to smell a bit burnt.... you know like when the belt on your vacuum needs to be replaced.) We called EntirelyPets.com immediately and they were super great - no troubles with them at all. They told us they would drop a new toy in the mail and we received the second one in just a couple days. Wouldn't you know it... we took the ball out of the packaging, started it up and after 10 MINUTES of play the same EXACT thing happened. I almost couldn't believe it. We called EntirelyPets.com the second time, after which they immediately refunded us the full price of the toy. Entirely Pets was perfectly awesome, unfortunately the Bumble Ball was not. Unfortunately, unless they come up with an incredibly altered design I cannot and would not recommend this product to anyone.

3rd Bumble Ball
April 9, 2013
This was the 3rd Bumble Ball I've ordered for my dog. She absolutely loves them. The second one went bad in a short time and I had to throw it away. Kept changing the batteries, but it still wouldn't work. The latest one is working fine.
By Noah
worst purchase
March 29, 2013
He was able to chew the top off one of the knobs on the ball in less than an hour. I thought the plastic would have been stronger.

Disappointing
March 27, 2013
Unfortunately the toy broke after one minute of playing by my dog. Very disappointing.

almost perfect
February 14, 2013
this toy drives my fathers jack russell insane. only problem is batteries always run down within 20 minutes. then she picks it up and tries to chew on it. wish the nubs where smaller so she couldn't grab onto them. But overall great to watch this poor dog chase the toy til exhaustion

Best Christmas toy in years
January 11, 2013
It was like turning the clock back to when our kids were young an watching them play with all their new new toys as they opened them. Ki is still a puppy so his energy is much the same as a child. At first he wasn't sure about the ball when it was turned on but when we took it out in the yard an it start wiggling around in the leaves it was a blast.
By Shelby
Cute concept, waste of money
January 8, 2013
This was a cute idea and it was funny when it worked. However, we were lucky if it worked more than twice and if it stayed on for more than 5 seconds. We replaced batteries multiple times and even took it apart to see if we could fix it. We ended up throwing it out. It was an expensive piece of plastic!

Buzzy bumbly fun
December 29, 2012
This toy works just like I remember--bouncing around and making quiet noise to attract attention. The batteries were included, which was great, and even though our pup wasn't terribly interested in chasing it around (hence the four-star review instead of five), it worked just fine! Maybe a friend's pet will find it more interesting...

Christmas toy not a complete hit
December 26, 2012
Our pug was curious with the Bumble Ball, but I think the size and noise level prevented her from completely enjoying it. The noise level is loud, particularly for the size of the ball. Also, it seems the size might be better suited for a large dog as our pug could only paw at it. If your dog doesn't mind vacuum-like noise and has a larger mouth to latch on to the nubs, it might be a hit for your household. Unfortunately the enjoyment was short-lived for us.

Bumble Ball-NOT for strong chewers!
December 23, 2012
I got my Bumble Ball in very short order-great customer service! My Corgi loves interactive toys and this one was a lot of fun for him-the only problem: it is SOFT plastic and he is a HARD chewer! Auggie played with the toy twice before he destroyed it-chewed off the plastic colored pieces and tried to eat the blue ball part. This is a great dog toy but I would recommend it for dogs who do not have a tendency to chew so hard.

Sadly, not the best
November 15, 2012
We bought this toy for our 1yr old corgi. When we first set it down for him to play with it, it was absolutely awesome. He loved it! Then about 5 minutes later it started to die. We changed the batteries but it wouldn't work. We tried another set of batteries and it went off and on. I wish this had worked how it said it would because it could have been a great toy.

Used this first for a Sunday School gimmick. Worked great. My dog loved it, but kept chewing the knobs off. So finally put it in a bag and turned it on. Kept him very busy, but kept him from chewing off the knobs too.

My dog wasn't impressed with this toy
October 22, 2012
Our dog was curious at first, but I'm not certain that she understood what to do with it. After about a minute, she seemed to be agitated that it was still moving and making noise. She did bite it a few times. On two of those occasions, a piece inside the toy popped off, and we had to open it up in order to pop the piece back in to place. This was certainly a pain because you have to unscrew the two pieces apart. Afterward, I tried to pawn it off to my cats. I have five and although they looked at it for a few minutes, none of them was interested in it. It's been in a drawer ever since.

The Bumble Ball is smaller than the one that it is replacing. I had a Wipe Out Ball that I used to keep my Sheltie happy and occupied, it would jump around while playing Wipe Out and then stop jumping during the drum solo then start up again. It was big but then again I guess it wasn't made for dogs.

Lots of fun
June 19, 2012
She loves this toy but I only give it to her for short periods under supervision. She gets very excited. It's hard plastic so unusual for a toy they want to chase and chew. She has made a dent on some of the knobs and you just couldn't leave them unsupervised.The erratic movement is the attraction.

fantastic entertainment for puppy or older dog
April 24, 2012
dog either broke it after 3 days or batteries died within 3 days. Need to find a very small screw driver and put new batteries in then decide. Get your camera out it is hysterical to watch the dogs go crazy. Not good in grass but on deck or cemement it is great,

Such an entertaining toy!
April 17, 2012
It took a while for my dog to get used to this toy, mostly barking at it at first, but after a couple days he's playing with it by pushing it with his nose and chasing it across the floor. Sometimes he actually picks it up for a few seconds and his whole head shakes along with it. It's a blast to watch. The batteries are included and seem to last a long time as well which is a big plus!

not what we expected
February 23, 2012
our girl loves the movement of the ball and loes to play with it. We were disappointed that it wasn't made of rubber or at least softer plastic. We feel we have to hover over her, in fear that she'll break a tooth on it when picking it up

Entertaining for inquisitive puppies. Hilarious to watch puppy chase the toy. Recommended for small breed puppies only. The toy was broken to bits in less than 5 minutes by a 9 month old Australian Shepherd.

We had this years ago with our first dog, she hated it. I decided to try it again, the puppy didn't know what to do at first. Then she had a blast trying to get it. Great entertainment!

excellent product, needs to be designed for bigger dogs and puppys. An offset balance would allow the ball to roll on it's own and create more entertainment.

The Bumble Ball is so much fun for our dog and for us to watch her. She was a little afraid of it at first but then had to check it out anyway!! Now if the ball is not turned on, she picks it up and throws it to make it bounce! Great buy!!

It's not for all dogs
November 7, 2011
I thought my hyper terrier would love this toy, but in fact he was scared of it. I found a friend to give the toy to so at least it's not a complete waste! The toy bounces and vibrates just as the package describes (so I gave it 4 stars), but be aware that some dogs may not enjoy this toy.
