Winner !!!
Color: Orange
This amazed us. For perspective, we're talking about a three year old white german shepherd who if he's in the mood, has and can kill a toy within minutes or oddly enough be gentle with furry balls and carry them around as if they are his babies. He's an odd duck. Anyway, since he was a pup, and to this day, he'll play and entertain himself, he'll grab a ball, throw it up in the air, then pounce on it as if it's from outer space. It's really quite cute and funny. Because of those two things I was looking for something interactive that would entertain him and confuse him....let's be honest, watching a confused dog is one of life's great pleasures. I tried two other interactive balls and they were crushed immediately. After reading a lot of reviews, people with german shepherds said this ball actually had a life span. I thought the third time could be the charm and ordered one. Well, I think it actually may be from outer space because he's obsessed with it and hasn't taken a bite out of it. He hasn't once chewed it or even teared little pieces off. The three settings are great. Sometimes he likes one better than another, then forgets about the others. I'll change it up to one he hasn't seen in a while and the whole game starts over again. He'll throw it up in the air as he does with his others, watch it and try to figure out which way it's going to go. And yes, he will pounce on it if he times it right. The size is perfect, it's heavier than your average ball but, that's what make it sturdy. I have to sneak it away when he isn't paying attention to charge it, otherwise he'll sit, stare and cry if he knows it's on the counter charging. It's a lot of fun for all of us. I'm so happy I bought it...... I say give this ball a chance even if you have a beast with killer instincts. I'm buying another for a friends 2 year old golden retriever granddog. Thank you Cheerble.

Save your Floors!
Size: Small: 24" x 24"
Great solution for pee pads that leak or when your pup isn’t all the way on (because one paw on the pad is “on the pad”) Good quality and appears to be durable. Easy to clean with a spritz of natures miracle and a paper towel or under the hose for a deeper clean. Silicone Surface kind of grips the pee pads so I haven’t needed to use the clips. It also grips the floor so it doesn’t slide around. Multiple sizes available so you can match your pee pad size. Reasonable price to save your floors!

Protects floors
Size: X-Large: 28" x 34"
I love these pee pad holders. My dog goes near the edge of the pad and the urine gets on my hardwood floors. With these pads the edges of the pee pad holder catches the urine before it gets on the floors. It is very easy to clean the pad holder. I am so thankful it protects my floors!

Works well with the pads. Keeps them from getting bunched up all over the floor.
Size: Small: 24" x 24"
It was a nice idea, but my dogs chewed it up. If you don't have a chewer, then it's really nice.
