Wool Balls
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
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.
We now offer 5 sizes:
Super Jumbo
At least 3 1/4 inches in diameter -- this is our biggest ball and contains a lot of wool.
Jumbo
3 inches in diameter.
Large
2 1/2 inches in diameter.
Medium
2 inches in diameter. For smaller dogs.
Small
Just under 2 inches. Perfect for toy sized dogs.

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:
We received the toys today. Our miniature poodle has been playing nonstop with one of the wool balls for the past half hour. I've never seen him so excited about a toy before! He loves to play, but the way he took to the ball, let us know that he really thinks these are something special!

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.

My darling rescue toy poodle Valentina, can't get enough of your enticing wool balls. Her toothless mouth loves the feel! She chases them endlessly, and plays until she exhausts herself. Then, she curls up with one to take her nap! This is a huge breakthrough, as until now she's rejected every ball I've presented to her, even soft rubber ones. She clearly loves the smell and feel of your wonderful organic wool balls. Thanks for your healthful, fun, and well made products.

I needed to spend a moment and tell you about how much my Abbie loves her wool ball! Abbie is a rescued collie who has trauma to her teeth from her former life. She won't chew on bones and will not play with toys. My daughter bought one of your balls at the Renegade Art Fair in Chicago. Let me tell you, she won't let the thing out of her sight, carries it from room to room and even plays with it herself when we're not playing with her. She is just comical and oh so happy to have something that doesn't hurt her sore mouth. Just had to let you know that you made one collie very, very happy!

We have two spunky Jack Russel Terriers and we have had them literally take down toys in minutes! Your wool ball is the only toy we have ever had that is still 100% intact after several months. We play catch every day. It is wonderful knowing that the fibers won't poison or get lodged in my doggies' tummy!
