Useful Information
- Insert Batteries: Before using the Bumble Ball, ensure that it has fresh batteries installed. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to insert the batteries properly.
- Turn On the Ball: Locate the power switch on the Bumble Ball. It is usually located on the side or bottom of the toy. Flip the switch to the "On" position to activate the motor.
- Introduce the Toy: Present the Bumble Ball to your dog in a safe and open area. Allow them to sniff and investigate the toy at their own pace.
- Encourage Play: Gently tap or touch the ball to initiate movement. The motor inside will activate, causing the ball to vibrate and bounce in various directions. Encourage your dog to chase and interact with the moving toy.
- Supervise Playtime: It's important to supervise your dog while they play with the Bumble Ball. Keep an eye on their behavior and ensure they don't chew or swallow any parts of the toy. If the ball shows signs of damage, remove it from your dog's reach.
- Join in the Fun: To make playtime even more interactive, you can control the ball's movement by tapping it in different directions. This allows you to engage with your dog and create a shared play experience.
- Storage: After playtime, turn off the Bumble Ball and store it in a safe place where your dog cannot access it. This will help prolong the life of the toy and prevent any accidental activation.

Was unsure what to expect
January 2, 2017
I read the reviews and thought I would give it a try with my Boston Terrier, Remy. Thinking he would destroy the unit in short time; I did a purchase of 3 Bumbles. After opening on X-Mas, and starting it up' Remy kept his distance and played with 'other toys'. He kept his distance every time we started the unit up. I am going to try the unit out with my daughter's two Dachshunds.

Dogs love it. However, once they started chewing on it the nubbies started coming off or got inside the ball. We had to take it apart & remove them. If they could make those one solid piece it would be a better product. The dogs absolutely beg for the toy but durability is an issue even when you try & keep them from chewing on it.

Best gift
October 25, 2016
Our dogs are 3 years old, and they did nothing but bark constantly at them, maybe if I gave them to the dogs when they were puppies, they would like them. But I gave them to my Grandchildren, ages 8 months and 1 year old and they are having a "ball" with them. they play and carry them around most of the days since I bought them. They are awesome

Really great toy
August 1, 2016
I purchased my Otis&Claude Bumble Ball 3 pack at EntirelyPets and my dog goes crazy with it. She is a little spoiled and has many toys but this is the one she likes the best! It wiggles all over the floor and she growls at it and finally grabs it and takes off running. Great toy and keeps her busy. The vet told us she needed to lose some weight so she really gets going with this toy. I definnetly would recommend it for any dog.

I had bought one of these on another site and it died the same day...changed the batteries 3 times, none worked, must've been the motor.
Thought I'd try again on this site since our puppy loved this toy while it lasted...I got the 3 pack. One's already dead, not a good sign.
Again, new batteries aren't the problem, so these must have a major flaw in the motor design, what a bummer.

Short battery life, no auto shut-off
June 14, 2015
I bought this to keep my dog from getting board. He had been playing with a bumble ball made for children that had blinking lights and the sound of children laughing that he really liked and would play with for hours (under supervision). The nobs on that ball were soft and easy for him to hold onto with his teeth. The children's ball also shut off automatically if it wasn't touched for about a minute. But it was a bigger ball and and the pull-up tabs to access the batteries could be easily chewed off accessing the wires and motor for the dog to chew which is what he did. The pet bumble ball has recessed screws to access the batteries. The reason I'm giving the pet Bumble Ball only three stars is that it doesn't have an auto shut-off and runs until the 3 AAA batteries deplete which takes less than two hours. That's a lot of batteries to replace. The nobs on the ball are harder and my chihuahua has a hard time picking it up or "catching it". He seemed to get board with it sooner.

Bumble Ball in a Ball !!!
February 5, 2015
Very good dog toy but improved by putting it into a hamster ball so that the spikes do not get chewed off.. dogs still love it and dogs and ball are safer......

This (rather expensive) toy lasted approximately one hour. Battery life too short, fell to pieces in record time.

Our dog just loves the Bumble ball. The only negative is that the battery run down quickly.

This is a great idea for some dogs. It is a very good distraction and keeps them occupied until they catch it and then it's all over for the ball. It's too easy to chew apart.

I use this product in my training classes as a distraction to the stay command. The dogs just love this product, and after they pass the test, they get to play with it as a reward.

This item keeps my dog, Gemma occupied for hours. One thing I don't like about it is she can chew the spikes off of it & that jams the motor inside.

My cocker spaniel loves these. He can tear them up fairly quickly because he likes to chew on the knobs, but he loves to play with the vibrating ball. It was very difficult to remove the screws on a newly purchased ball to replace the batteries.

Disappointment
September 15, 2013
My dog loved it!!!! Till it died 3 minutes later, couldn't change all the batteries because one of the screws were stripped. I continued to let him play with it, as he was obsessed, he killed the whole thing in 20 minutes, parts and all!!!

I buy these balls for my 37 year old nephew which is disabled he loves these balls, he just giggles and has so much fun with them. It makes my day to see him so happy. They are very well made and very durable. I will be buying more of these. He plays with them so much the motor burns out after about a month of happiness!

I purchased a three pack and only one of the three worked upon arrival. I put new batteries in thinking they might have died, but, they still did not work like they were supposed to.

special purchase
March 29, 2013
I buy these for my 25 year old special needs son. It was nice to find them again. I am disappointed that nothing seemed to have changed much on them. Sometimes the switches don't make contact and that's why the ball quits working. I have an engineer friend who works on them if they "die" prematurely. I used to buy these at Walgreens 3 for $11.98. The batteries were not included, but you can buy a lot of batteries for $14.00. However, I am glad you are making them as this has been his favorite toy for 20 years. I will order again.

Did not meet our expectations. The product fell apart/broke after the first couple times our pet played with it.

Bad construction

I purchased these for my autistic child, as they seemed they would have durability if a dog could play with them. Within minutes he ripped the knobs off with his tetth.
So for a child not good, maybe for a dog they would be good,

The card does say it is not a chew toy. I got it, turned it on, gave it to our dog, and it didn't last 5 minutes. Our dog tried to pick it up and chewed the end off of one of the nubs and it stopped working. I won't buy another Otis and Claude toy unless I am able to hold it in my hands and closely examine it. The toy is a good idea, but very poorly made. I should have read the reviews before purchasing. If your dog will play with a toy without grabbing it, like in the video, then maybe it is for you.

My dog loves the ball but had two of the points chewed off in a matter if min. Sigh. Don't know how to make it last but it would be nice if Kong could get hold of it.
No, I guess I'm not happy with my purchase.

Fun toy, but doesn't last at our house

Like the directions say, don't leave this toy and your pet unattended. I made that mistake and our Boxer mix took it apart, pieces were everywhere. Even though it is a fun toy, I don't recommend it for large dogs if you plan to leave it out like you would a ball.
