Help me find a squeaky ball - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ponyup · 12-04-2007, 05:19 AM

I need help finding a good squeaky ball. We had a good one from Meijers but the squeaker is starting to wear out & they don't sell them anymore. It needs to be easy to squeak & needs to bounce. We've tried the little soccer balls & he loves them, but the squeaker wears out pretty quick. I have checked out every pet store I've come across & still nothing. So any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I've seen the Orbi balls on a lot of sites, does anyone have one? Are they easy to squeak?

Thank you all for your help.

We use the soccer balls too. Our squeaker is holding up pretty good.

I buy Kiwi's squeaky ones at Target, they sell four squeaky tennis balls (but small sized) for around $3. Kiwi loves them! And of course they bounce...

Usually the squeaky tennis balls are a little harder to squeak then he likes, but i'll check them out.

I bought the iqube, but she could care less about it...

demand we play fetch!!!! They are small enough for the little ones
to carry around & made of a soft velour fabric & have a great squeaker!!!

I bought my girls a small yellow tennis ball that is made by Kong and it squeaks, bounces and has held up great.She can distroy a cheap tennis ball in 5 hours.This one she can't, and it floats, when she drops it in the pool[ which is now covered, but still gets rain water on the cover.] A new game w/ her!We also bought her a football that is made by Kong and it is small also ,and it bounces all over the place so she really has a time chasing it.P.S they fit her little mouth well,unlike normal size balls.

I have a toy on my website that is a bag with 10 balls in it. Some are squeaky, some are not. It's like the I-Qube. It's a plush puzzle toy, they are supposed to find the squeaky balls. We play fetch with the balls. I also put treats in the big ball and let them take all of the balls out to get to the treats.

Thanks for the suggestion. Logan has the I-Qube & he likes it. He just really likes balls that bounce & squeak. I will keep my eyes open, but so far no luck. The tennis balls with squeakers are too hard for him to squeak the way he likes.

I found some awesome ones at the last trade show but they were made in China. I've called around to a bunch of the companies and basically I've found out that they don't make these types of balls in the USA. The company I want to get them from is very reputable and all the rest of their toys are made in the USA except these balls. They said they tried to have them made here and even if you want to, you can't. It's sad. The closest they got was Mexico and that company even started outsourcing to China. I think get them anyway for lack of an alternative. I liked them because they came in 2 sizes. I'll let you know if I get them!

I've seen the Orbi's on line, but it didn't say that they squeak. If the Orbi's squeak they might be my solution.

OK I'm working on getting squeaky balls. This company is trying to print my logo on them but they keep messing them up

Anyway, I should get them by next week. I think Logan will have to be a product tester
