[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is very durable and gives plenty of entertainment for the dogs and us as well. it’s made of great material and safe for the dogs.
i highly recommend it for your pups enjoyment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The concept is good however this product freaked out my dog. He was curious and ended up barking at it because it kept twitching when he made movements at it. He was scared of the moving ball inside so I ended up removing it and just gave him the outside pet toy to play with and he absolutely loves it. The material is durable and he has been chewing it all night.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy is huge! It was about the size of my almost two year old’s head. It is pretty cool like it reacts to sound and moves based on being approached but sadly neither my dog nor toddler actually like it. It is really heavy and big. I think if my dog did like it I would be really worried she would toss it and break something or hurt someone. It is a hefty hard dog toy (soft material on outside but under it hard as a rock).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such an adorable dog toy! It is quite a bit larger than I thought from the picture but it works perfect for my dog. It comes with a screwdriver to add the batteries (not included 3AA) and is fairly easy to assemble. I can’t figure out how the recording works as it can record sounds and voices. It does mooo when it powers on, and shakes and spins… my dog didn’t know where the moooo was coming from at first but he is having a BLAST with this toy. It is so adorable to watch him play. He refuses to give it to me or my husband, he is attached to it already!

Put batteries in it, gave it to my pup. Within 10 minutes it wouldn’t work anymore and you can hear broken pieces rattling around inside the ball

My puppy absolutely loves this toy. I wish it would work the way it claims. It doesn’t record or play back any sounds. It drains batteries quickly and you need to use the provided screwdriver to take it apart to replace the batteries.(I totally understand that is so the dog doesn’t get the batteries) The fur also wraps around in the velcro so it doesn’t work so well. I think it was a total waste of $30, but my pup would disagree. It doesn’t really move around as much as a Giggle Ball does.

My dog was more interested in the toy while I was assembling it, then he was when it started shaking and making cow noises for 70 seconds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s heavy and feels like it’ll break if they play rough with it. It’s tough to change the modes without feeling like the button is going to get stuck. I thought this would move around more but it just shakes and slams against the ground scaring my dogs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very cute highland cow cover over a very hard plastic ball. Was quite a struggle removing the ball to find the battery spot. Then getting the ball back in and trying to place it so the on/off button was easy to find was another hard task. Not sure about others but I can see the plastic breaking easily with bigger dogs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my German Shepherd, he was a bit confused at first but likes it now. Couldn’t figure out how to get it to make sounds all we can get it to do is spin and move around but it’s very durable made with high quality materials alot stronger than I thought it would be. I like that it cuts off for a few minutes then starts back up. Seems like a safe fun dog toy that will last longer than any others we’ve bought.

I bought this for my dogs birthday on 9/11. It’s best for enrichment and triggering his prey drive. He loves it, we love watching him play with it. My only problem is that I wished they sold the covers separately. Because my dog is a power chewer, he got through the cow in a day. Obviously we watch him when he plays with it. But he still manages to tear the cover in half. Please sell the covers!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The toy is cute but my dog didn’t like it. She was interested in for couple of minutes but after that doesn’t even look at it. The cow ball is well made but doesn’t do much.
meganp78 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two dogs and one absolutely loves it and one is scared of it. This cow ball is absolutely adorable and I love the voice recording. I only took a star away because it is eating batteries fairly quickly. That probably is because my dog is obsessed with it! It is very well made and shouldn’t be destroyed easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this electronic cow ball online via petsupplycanada with the 100% free coupon code #Influenster kindly gifted to me. It’s a $30 pup toy, but it’s great quality and very durable. The amount of entertainment that it has provided for my 1 year old Great Pyrenees, Goose, and my husband has been endless and hilarious so far! My lab/boxer doesn’t play with toys, so he wasn’t too interested, but my 1 year old pup is going nuts for it! The ball is a bit heavier than his other toys, but he doesn’t mind. This toy moos at him and also shakes/vibrates when he hits the switch in the right spot. The moo noise is fairly quiet, but hilarious!He was very intrigued by it but was beside himself with confusion and a tad skittish when it moo’d or vibrated. He now understands how to make it moo or vibrate and is loving it. It’s not the most interactive toy for humans and the pup, but it’s pretty interactive itself with the sound effects. Overall, I love this dog toy and would definitely recommend it! It seems very sturdy and safe, but I recommend still keeping an eye on them if you have a heavy chewer and he makes to to the inside where the batteries are. Also, I’m not sure if these come in other sizes, so definitely be mindful of that when purchasing. Note: This toy is large and heavy… My dog is a playful 100+lb “puppy,” though, and it’s perfect for him!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs loved this toy! They loved that it moved around, they were a little scared of the noises at first but then quickly realized it was a fun toy. They did immediately start to rip the fur off, but they are hard on toys and love to destroy them. My dogs had a lot of fun playing with this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was our dogs first interactive toy! She wasn’t quite sure what to do with it at first, but it provided lots of laughs! It’s very heavy, so only big dogs could pick it up. Honestly, our dog really loved it more when it was turned off & it was just a ball

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this product as my dog is a super chewer and needs something to keep her busy. After a few minutes of getting everything set up, she was ready to attack. It definitely held her attention for a solid hour which is fantastic, however, she tries to pull off the fur which is our biggest worry. Only a little bit has come off within that hour, so not sure how long the toy will last but so far it’s doing a good job!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The idea was there but my dog was so unsure of the toy. It vibrates and make noises so it’s a very interactive toy. My dog is more of a chewer so I’m sure he will find a way to get the cow off the ball. You could ideally make two toys out of this. A vibrating ball and a cow stuffy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A cute design overall. Instructions slightly off on battery placement- there is no side with a single screw. Dog was unsure with the shaking at first but then loved it. Has played with it several times now and enjoys the unpredictability and movement. I will say the voice recording option didn’t work well- was very muffled, but moo sounds were fun. Somewhat heavy, so be careful your dog doesn’t pick it up and throw it into something. Can be tricky to open and find the “off” switch when playtime is over.

He’s not a super playful dog by nature but this did get his attention even if he was more just like, What the heck?! He pawed around with it for a while. It has three different modes, some of which include cow noises or a voice recording. Sometimes it goes fast, sometimes slower. My dog is a chewer so we definitely monitor him with all toys especially ones with batteries. He really doesn’t know how to use it yet so we’ll see if it can get him to engage a bit more over time. It sure is cute. I don’t know if we’d pay this kind of money for a toy with Samson just because he does tend to destroy them but we’ll see how this goes!

It moos and shakes, but also has the option to just shake without the noise. It goes into standby after 70 seconds so if my dog doesn’t touch it, it’ll sit quiet and still until he messes with it again. This you is SO fun and well worth the price you pay for it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy is so cute and I think the concept is super great, definitely can get to be a lot so definitely a short time entertainment.

jenniferh439 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is just so stinking cute!! It moos and everything which always bring a smile while my fur baby played with it. She was unsure at first because it’s mainly just a vibration ball that moves through jerking motion so I’d advise against dogs that get scared easily, that being said, my lab absolutely loved coming near it and then licking the ears of the highland cow. Super cute!!
ashleya469 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s hard to press the button to start and stop. The dog is also terrified of it so it doesn’t get played with. The hard plastic center is very big and the fabric on the outside is very thin not leaving much for my dog to grab and play with.

I’m not sure why recording my voice is neat to her, but it works. Seems to be pretty good quality, she hasn’t ripped it to shreds yet.. so, over so I would say it is a win!

I got this for a Christmas present for one of my dogs because he loves to hunt squirrels and rabbits in the back yard. Well turns out he didn’t care at all about it but my other dog who I assumed would either be afraid of it or not be interested at all was OBSESSED! She absolutely loves it! I have never seen her play with a toy like she does with this thing. I am purchasing a second one because she has played with the first one so much I’m worried she’s going to break it (even though it’s very durable) and I won’t have a backup!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Watching the doggo play with this is definitely entertaining, and he was throwing it all about. I’m not sure how durable this is going to be, as I would have preferred it to have a rubberized coating on the ball so it would have some bounce when hitting the floor. It has a significant heft that I wasn’t expecting and is larger than I expected. The cow sounds are also entertaining. I haven’t tried recording any sounds. I like that it came with a nice screwdriver so I didn’t have to search for one. I did have some difficulty trying to get it to turn on in the beginning, and the directions aren’t exceptionally clear, which is my reason for only four stars. Doggo enjoyed the opportunity to test this product for free, as did I. I’m not sure yet if we will purchase a future replacement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog likes squeaky toys and so I figured a call that moves and moos would be fun. Two issues with the toy from my perspective – the outer “hide” regularly sheds when touched for opening and closing the toy, which is needed to turn it on and off or adjust modes. I am surprised that a toy that expensive and with a very solid core (inside a hard rubber ball is an weight-dependent battery holder – all very sturdy) has such a flimsy cover that requires regular vacuuming. In addition, the instructions are not very clear. I did best to just figure things out on my own rather than rely on instructions. That being said, the toy comes in three modes, one being just rattling and the second being rattling and mooing. I appreciate that the mooing is not as loud as the squeaker in most toys and that is a godsend because my pup will squeak when I am on work calls and he wants attention; so this toy is much better based on that. My pup still enjoys the traditional squeaker toys more, in the image his current favorite. This toy resulted in him doing nice head tilts, but then barked initially because he is not used to toys moving. He still shows interest and is sniffing now at the toy, less barking, and this after just 24 hours. But I am not sure if this toy is good for older dogs, likely best for puppies that are more playful and brave at exploring the world.

My golden retriever loves to play with it, but the volume is so low you can barely hear the mooing and the feature that is supposed to repeat noises back, You can’t even hear it all. Needs replacement covers. Not worth $30.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a super cute toy! It is very large and heavy. But my 20 lb dog didn’t mind it being so big. However, I think it’s probably better suited for a bigger dog. It takes 3 batteries and comes with a little screw driver to open the compartment. The sound it makes isn’t very loud. I wasn’t ever able to figure out the mode that you can add your own sound to. My dog lost interest pretty quickly, which is why I took a star off.

Firstly he did not understand what it was, but then started playing, as you can see in the video. But after some moments he got scared and stopped playing, staying away from the toy. I will try again, but it is too different for him . The toy is big, my dog is medium size, around 40lb as reference. It has high quality and looks sturdy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] PROS: * Strong first impression – toy is pretty heavy (in a good way) and well-packaged. I really like the fuzzy exterior and the design of the cow. * Works as intended for the most part! Does a lot of shaking, pauses and then continues. The shaking is fast without being too aggressive (though it does bounce around quite a bit, so be mindful if you’re in an upstairs apartment like us). The batteries seem to last for a while too but it’s too early to tell for sure. * My dog had quite the reaction to it – she went from afraid to curious to FURIOUS within a couple minutes. She was throwing this thing up and down in the air like crazy (we had to get her to do it on her bed because, again, upstairs apartment). I think she was trying to kill it! So its definitely novel and elicits an interesting response for our dog specifically (for reference she is a Samoyed).

Does come with a screw driver though which is nice! It bounces and makes a mooing sound like cow and she goes nuts! I had to put it away in the closet for a bit so that my dog could relax! It doesn’t auto shut off you need to open it and turn it off manually. But that’s fine not a big deal. So fun!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Weirdly enough, our cat ending up liking this toy! Our dog is a little bit wary of it but still interested. I believe he will continue to warm up to it. But it’s so fun watching them play around! This isn’t something I would normally pick but honestly it’s a good one to give your pets an activity that gets their engagement up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Joyhound Electronic Highland Cow Dog Toy took a bit to figure out. We struggled to turn it on and then off again. Once we put it down for the dogs, they were fearful. Our small black terrier, Rory, normally grabs every toy and promptly destroys them. She avoided this electronic toy, as the movements were unexpected.
We decided to turn it off. Our Akita mix, Luna, kept her distance. Once it no longer seemed scary, our small cream colored terrier dragged the toy to his bed as his new best friend. So, CJ is happy! This toy could be fun for a dog with less fear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my German Shepherd, he was a bit confused at first but likes it now. Couldn’t figure out how to get it to make sounds all we can get it to do is spin and move around but it’s very durable made with high quality materials alot stronger than I thought it would be. I like that it cuts off for a few minutes then starts back up. Seems like a safe fun dog toy that will last longer than any others we’ve bought.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest feedback.
First off, this is a large, heavy toy. I’d only recommend this for medium and larger sized dogs!
It came with a screwdriver to open the battery pack inside the toy, which was nice! It was easy to assemble overall.
My dog might come around to it, but she was very confused and not sure what to do with the toy. It moves around, makes “moo” sounds, and can record audio.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A cute design overall. Instructions slightly off on battery placement- there is no side with a single screw. Dog was unsure with the shaking at first but then loved it. Has played with it several times now and enjoys the unpredictability and movement. I will say the voice recording option didn’t work well- was very muffled, but moo sounds were fun. Somewhat heavy, so be careful your dog doesn’t pick it up and throw it into something. Can be tricky to open and find the “off” switch when playtime is over.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] PROS: * Strong first impression – toy is pretty heavy (in a good way) and well-packaged. I really like the fuzzy exterior and the design of the cow. * Works as intended for the most part! Does a lot of shaking, pauses and then continues. The shaking is fast without being too aggressive (though it does bounce around quite a bit, so be mindful if you’re in an upstairs apartment like us). The batteries seem to last for a while too but it’s too early to tell for sure. * My dog had quite the reaction to it – she went from afraid to curious to FURIOUS within a couple minutes. She was throwing this thing up and down in the air like crazy (we had to get her to do it on her bed because, again, upstairs apartment). I think she was trying to kill it! So its definitely novel and elicits an interesting response for our dog specifically (for reference she is a Samoyed).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The toy is so cute! I love cows and to be able to find a Highland cow toy is definitely a highlight of my day. The toy is a little bit heavy, but it can record your voice and it looks so adorable. If you have a small dog, it might be too heavy to roll around. The price is not too bad for such a good toy. It’s well-made and comes with the batteries. Highly recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was our dogs first interactive toy! She wasn’t quite sure what to do with it at first, but it provided lots of laughs! It’s very heavy, so only big dogs could pick it up. Honestly, our dog really loved it more when it was turned off & it was just a ball

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The electronic cow ball is a interesting dog toy. My dog was a little spooked when it first came on. The fur on the ball gets gross after time especially if you have a dog that produces alot of saliva. The way it shakes keeps my dog entertained.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To tell the truth, the concept may have been good, but it’s not practical… my dog was only interested in it the first day and after that he hasn’t been interested in playing with it anymore… it doesn’t sound good and there’s really nothing interesting about it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a super cute toy! It is very large and heavy. But my 20 lb dog didn’t mind it being so big. However, I think it’s probably better suited for a bigger dog. It takes 3 batteries and comes with a little screw driver to open the compartment. The sound it makes isn’t very loud. I wasn’t ever able to figure out the mode that you can add your own sound to. My dog lost interest pretty quickly, which is why I took a star off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog loves this thing ! It is so cool. She is a chewer and a chaser and she loves it because it moves on its own. I’m not sure why recording my voice is neat to her, but it works. Seems to be pretty good quality, she hasn’t ripped it to shreds yet.. so, over so I would say it is a win!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dogs loved this toy! They loved that it moved around, they were a little scared of the noises at first but then quickly realized it was a fun toy. They did immediately start to rip the fur off, but they are hard on toys and love to destroy them. My dogs had a lot of fun playing with this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy is fairly comical to witness when my dogs were interacting with it. At first they were scared but after a minute very intrigued and now they are still intrigued but with a smidge less interest. I do love that it’s interactive and helps out on days where I don’t feel 100 percent and can’t be as hands on with my dogs as I would like. There were three different settings but we stuck with the vibrate and mooing setting. The option to record something is fun! This toy is pretty complex and setting it up was a smidge annoying haha. The mooing sounds was on the quieter side. The toy itself seems pretty sturdy and so far has been destroyed by my dogs that do in fact love to destroy. The highland cow design is super cute. Overall fun heavy duty high tech toy on the more complex side.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s hard to press the button to start and stop. The dog is also terrified of it so it doesn’t get played with. The hard plastic center is very big and the fabric on the outside is very thin not leaving much for my dog to grab and play with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this electronic cow ball online via Petsmart with the 100% free coupon code #Influenster kindly gifted to me. It’s a $30 pup toy, but it’s great quality and very durable. The amount of entertainment that it has provided for my 1 year old Great Pyrenees, Goose, and my husband has been endless and hilarious so far! My lab/boxer doesn’t play with toys, so he wasn’t too interested, but my 1 year old pup is going nuts for it! The ball is a bit heavier than his other toys, but he doesn’t mind. This toy moos at him and also shakes/vibrates when he hits the switch in the right spot. The moo noise is fairly quiet, but hilarious!He was very intrigued by it but was beside himself with confusion and a tad skittish when it moo’d or vibrated. He now understands how to make it moo or vibrate and is loving it. It’s not the most interactive toy for humans and the pup, but it’s pretty interactive itself with the sound effects. Overall, I love this dog toy and would definitely recommend it! It seems very sturdy and safe, but I recommend still keeping an eye on them if you have a heavy chewer and he makes to to the inside where the batteries are. Also, I’m not sure if these come in other sizes, so definitely be mindful of that when purchasing. Note: This toy is large and heavy… My dog is a playful 100+lb “puppy,” though, and it’s perfect for him!

My puppy absolutely loves this toy. I wish it would work the way it claims. It doesn’t record or play back any sounds. It drains batteries quickly and you need to use the provided screwdriver to take it apart to replace the batteries.(I totally understand that is so the dog doesn’t get the batteries) The fur also wraps around in the velcro so it doesn’t work so well. I think it was a total waste of $30, but my pup would disagree. It doesn’t really move around as much as a Giggle Ball does.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Watching the doggo play with this is definitely entertaining, and he was throwing it all about. I’m not sure how durable this is going to be, as I would have preferred it to have a rubberized coating on the ball so it would have some bounce when hitting the floor. It has a significant heft that I wasn’t expecting and is larger than I expected. The cow sounds are also entertaining. I haven’t tried recording any sounds. I like that it came with a nice screwdriver so I didn’t have to search for one. I did have some difficulty trying to get it to turn on in the beginning, and the directions aren’t exceptionally clear, which is my reason for only four stars. Doggo enjoyed the opportunity to test this product for free, as did I. I’m not sure yet if we will purchase a future replacement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The idea was there but my dog was so unsure of the toy. It vibrates and make noises so it’s a very interactive toy. My dog is more of a chewer so I’m sure he will find a way to get the cow off the ball. You could ideally make two toys out of this. A vibrating ball and a cow stuffy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy would be amazing if my dog did not get scared after some time. Firstly he did not understand what it was, but then started playing, as you can see in the video. But after some moments he got scared and stopped playing, staying away from the toy. I will try again, but it is too different for him . The toy is big, my dog is medium size, around 40lb as reference. It has high quality and looks sturdy.

It moos and shakes, but also has the option to just shake without the noise. It goes into standby after 70 seconds so if my dog doesn’t touch it, it’ll sit quiet and still until he messes with it again. This you is SO fun and well worth the price you pay for it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is just so stinking cute!! It moos and everything which always bring a smile while my fur baby played with it. She was unsure at first because it’s mainly just a vibration ball that moves through jerking motion so I’d advise against dogs that get scared easily, that being said, my lab absolutely loved coming near it and then licking the ears of the highland cow. Super cute!!
