Wool Balls

Maggie tries to find the squeaker... and tries and tries.

Our organic wool comes from small family farms all over the U.S., but mainly from the Midwest where we live. It has taken us many months of experimentation to develop a wool ball which will be fun and durable. Our wool balls are hand formed from sustainably produced dye-free wool which has only been processed with gentle non-toxic soaps. Wool balls smell of sheep and meadow air, reminding your pets of the great outdoors.

Many dogs find these balls become their favorite toy. Organic wool balls can be quite nice for dogs who have lost teeth or have some other reason to avoid hard surfaced balls. Some low sight dogs like wool balls because of their special outdoorsy smell. Our wool balls no longer have squeakers, dogs love them just as much without. Made in the USA (Indiana).

Frequently asked questions

wool balls Caden with wool ball

Our wool balls are totally machine washable. Enclose them in a nylon with a twist tie and throw it in any wash. When the wash is done, take it out of the nylon, roll it between your hands for a few minutes and dry it on high.

How do you choose the right size for your dog?

First, consider the size of your dog's mouth. The diameter of each ball is given to help you choose the right size. The smaller balls may be a swallow hazard for large dogs. Also consider that as the size goes up the amount of wool does too. Depending on the individual dog, more wool may mean a more durable ball.

Occasionally we complete a batch of wool balls that do not fully meet our regular standards. They may be a bit out of round and have some lumps. As play toys they are just fine but our very human staff thinks they are not as pretty, and they may not be quite as durable. So, if your dog is not a toy terror, and you do not mind a less than perfect ball - give these a try.

What our customers say:

Beemer my 7lb Dachshund could and will destroy any toy sometimes within 20 minutes. Your wool balls are great and after 24 hours the ball is 100 percent intact. I thought that she would never play with a ball or toy without a squeaker, but you proved my wrong. I have not seen her so excited about a toy in a long time.

Maggie loves her two new wool balls she just received. They bounce so well. I wish you could see this eight month old, seven pound puppy jumping in the air and skidding across the floor to catch them. We've spent a good amount of time playing with them, tossing them in the air, bouncing them off the wall, rolling them on the floor. She drops every toy when she sees me with the wool ball in my hand. Thank you for making such a durable, safe and fun ball for her to enjoy for a long, long, time to come. Your delivery was super fast, too.

I love my wool ball! I've played with it every day for over a month and no matter what I do, I can't tear it apart! Thank you for making an indestructible toy!
JP & Liz (and of course, Griffin)

Our dog Santos has never been too big on toys but I don't know what it is about your dog ball,--she really loves it & it ends up in my bed half of the time because that's her favorite spot! Today when my Mom visited, she brought the ball in mouth to play!! She's never done that before!

I just wanted to tell you what a great time my dog is having with the cat toys, yeah I said dog! We got the toys in the mail 2 days after I ordered them and the dog took to the wool balls immediately. I will probably have to order more toys for the cats, now that my mother's dog has slobbered all over them. The cats have been playing with the adorable mice that we bought, they love to bat them back and forth to each other. I was so excited with your packaging, since I can compost it all! Thanks for really thinking about the environment in everything that you do.
