Let’s Talk Toys: Wunderball
If your dog is anything like my 3.5 year-old Goldendoodle Jaxson – then you too are on a continuous hunt for a toy that will last at least longer than the trip it took to get it home!
He’s a real menace when it comes to ANY type of toy. From the time it comes out of the bag – his sole mission is to annihilate it as quickly as possible. I have yet to find a toy that can survive my canine cyborg assassin - affectionately known as - the #terminatordoodle
Rope, plastic and even extra sturdy toys and balls (as labeled by the manufacturers) instantly fall victim at the paws of Jaxson.
THE BEST FETCH TOY
I first saw the Wunderball advertised in a commercial. It looked interesting but to be honest, I was skeptical because of the long history of balls tossed in my trashcan.
They boasted it was:
- Virtually Indestructible
- Floats
- Cleans teeth
I just changed the channel!
But this little odd shaped playdough looking nugget showed up in the retail section of our Groomer’s on a day when the weather was not conducive for outdoor play! Our forecast called for several days of heavy torrential rain.
I was lured to the Wacky Walk’r display because of the vivid brilliant colors and three different sizes of the Wunderballs.
Advertised for a wacky bouncing action, I tried it and laughed aloud as Jaxson wobbled around to keep up. Moderately priced, I figured it was worth the purchase and I left with two in my bag – a large for Jaxson and a medium for my smaller Dood - Harley.
JAXPOT
Jaxson played the rest of that day, and the next morning he picked up right where he left off. When he stopped playing, he was never too far from it. Several times I’ve caught him napping with it still cradled in his mouth. We’ve had them (yes, I’ve gotten more since my initial purchase) for months and they are in the same “pristine” shape as the day I brought them home.
The Wunderballs travel to the park, the beach – EVERYWHERE! When they’re dirty, I just toss them in a sink with a pet-friendly cleaning product and they sparkle like new. All balls are still in tack, and have survived months of grueling testing from both Doodles. These really are the “best fetch toy” in my opinion.
Wunderballs truly are indestructible! Made from a natural rubber, it’s not only safe for your pup and the planet – it’s a safer alternative to a tennis ball.
