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 do not have squeakers.
Made in the USA (Indiana).

Wool Ball Seconds

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.

Frequently asked questions


How do you care for your wool ball?

Our wool balls are totally machine washable. They come with an organic cotton washing bag. Throw it in any wash. When the wash is done, 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.

What our customers say:

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!

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.

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!

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.

Last year we bought one of your balls for our dog at the Green Festival, and he just loves it! Findlay plays with it all the time.
