TurboTail Smart Ball for Dogs
If your dog is chewing things they shouldn't, pacing around, or driving you up the wall with pent-up energy, they need something to chase. The TurboTail is a self-rolling smart ball with unpredictable movement that turns all that restless energy into proper play.
We tried a heap of smart dog toys before choosing this one. The motion-activated mode is the standout. It plays, rests, then kicks back in the moment your dog nudges it, keeping them engaged during supervised play without you having to restart it every five minutes. Three play modes, a built-in LED light, and an attachable tail make the chase feel real.
Rolls smoothly on carpet, tiles, and hardwood without getting stuck under furniture. The motor is quiet enough that it won't trigger barking every time it moves. USB-C rechargeable, no batteries to replace. A hit with Cavoodles, French Bulldogs, Poodles, Border Collies, Jack Russells, Spoodles, and Labradoodles.

Trusted by thousands of pet owners
Finally, a toy that actually works on our rugs without getting stuck. It’s surprisingly quick and not nearly as loud as I expected either.
I hesitated because of the price, since my pet ignores everything. But wow, she's actually obsessed with this thing and plays with it every day!
This is so much better built than the other similar toys I've tried. You can really feel the quality difference, and it has survived my little monster so far!
I bought this for the motion activated mode to keep my boy busy while I'm at work. I feel so much less guilty knowing he's getting his playtime in.
My cat is way too smart for most toys, but the random movements of this one keep her genuinely guessing. She seems so much calmer & happier now.
So tired of buying toys that break in a day. The turbo tail feels super durable, and the tail attachment has actually stayed on, even with my crazy cat!
Bought this for my cat, but my little dog might love it even more! It's been a surprise hit with both of them. Will be buying another!
So glad to finally have a toy that doesnt need battery replacements all the time. The usb charging is fast & lasts for ages
It's not totally silent, but it's definitely quiet enough for my kitten to play with while I'm on work calls. A total lifesaver for my focus.
The best part is that it doesn't get stuck under the couch like every other ball toy we've owned. It just keeps going without me having to rescue it, 10/10 so worth it.
This toy looked so much more interesting than anything I could find at Petbarn, so I gave it a go. Arrived in two days via AusPost, and my fussy cat is still obsessed with it
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about how the TurboTail works, safety, maintenance, and charging.
Will it work on all floor types, including carpet?
Yes! The TurboTail was specifically designed with powerful all-surface traction. It glides effortlessly over hardwood, tile, and low/medium pile carpet, and is strong enough to conquer most thicker, plusher rugs as well.
What if my dog seems scared of it at first?
That's completely normal! Some dogs need time to adjust to new moving toys. Introduce it slowly: let them sniff it while it's turned off first, then activate it for short periods in a large, open space. Most dogs quickly realize it's an exciting new toy to chase, not a threat.
How does the smart motion-activated mode work?
When using the smart mode, the TurboTail will actively play for 5 minutes and then enter a standby state. It will then cleverly reactivate for another short play session whenever your dog bats or nudges it, ensuring they stay engaged throughout the day & prolonging battery life.
Does it get stuck under furniture?
The TurboTail is designed to avoid getting stuck. Its intelligent 360° motion means when it bumps into walls or furniture, it naturally redirects into a new path rather than pushing forward. The momentum keeps the chase going without getting trapped.
How noisy is it?
The internal motor is engineered for low-noise operation. While not completely silent, it's quiet enough to not be disruptive, making it perfect for apartments and for keeping your dog entertained while you're working from home.
Is it safe to leave my pet alone with the TurboTail?
We recommend supervised play for all pet toys. While the TurboTail is designed with safety features, supervision ensures your pet plays safely and prevents chewing on electronic components.
How often will I need to charge?
Battery life depends on usage, but the TurboTail features a long-lasting battery that handles extended play sessions. Thanks to its modern USB-C port, it recharges quickly and conveniently when needed, so your dog's playtime is never interrupted for long.
How do I know when the battery is low?
The LED indicator will change to red when the battery is low. The TurboTail will eventually slow down and stop moving.
What do I do if my TurboTail won't turn on or charge?
First, ensure the charging cable is properly connected. The TurboTail requires a standard USB power source (5V/1A). Using high-powered charging bricks or cables may prevent proper charging. If the LED indicator doesn't light up, try a different USB adapter or power source. If you're still experiencing issues, reach out to our support team and we'll take care of it.
How do I clean the TurboTail?
Wipe the main ball with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid getting the USB port or internal electronics wet. For tougher stains, the outer silicone membrane and tail connector bracket can be removed for a deeper clean.
The tail detaches easily and can be hand washed with mild soap and water. Gently squeeze out excess water (avoid wringing or twisting to prevent fraying) and lay flat to air dry completely before reattaching.
Can my cat play with the TurboTail?
Absolutely! Many cats (especially playful, energetic ones) love chasing the TurboTail. However, it's not designed as a chew toy for either species - supervise play and remove if your pet tries to bite it. Learn more about TurboTail for Cats.
