My GSD has three of these and they are undoubtedly his emotional support balls. I bought these so that the medium ones wouldn't get stuck under our couch and make him spiral. He takes one everywhere, it keeps him company in his bowl when he's eating, it gets dropped in my shower, it goes potty with him, on walks, it falls out of his mouth when he falls asleep. These are the equivalent of a GSD pacifier. Best Purchase I've made hands down. Plus they don't get stinky after being constantly covered in dog drool and if they get dirty/ muddy/ hairy a decent rinse will do the trick . They last a LONG time with my super chewer, they are firm enough so that when he gets a good chew on it it doesn't fall apart. He has endless hours of obsession logged into these balls. Read more
This is my 100-pound doodle's very favorite ball - he is obsessed with it. I keep at least two in storage at all times just in case his goes missing. He is a strong chewer and these are VERY difficult to destroy - not completely impossible (he put a gash in one), but pretty close! Read more
My dog, bless her heart, goes absolutely bonkers for these balls. I swear she knew what was in the package before I even opened it she was right there trying to open it for me. These are GREAT! We take them to the park with the Chuck-it Stick, to the river for some water fetch, and anywhere as her “reward” for being calm and obedient. Beware though, they sure can BOUNCE. She dropped one of these out the car window (we were going 20mph in a residential area) and even after searching for almost 10 minutes I could not find it. They can withstand her super-chewer mouth with no visible damage. I highly recommend! (Photo is of the tennis ball version of this product, she doesn’t sit still long enough for a photo of the rubber version). Read more
Our neighbor has a lab that's trained exclusively as a duck dog. My wife and I play with her on a daily basis and these Chuck It balls and her favorite retrieval toy and hold up well to some of the most aggressive chewing I've every seen - she non-stop chews on the ball during 45 minute play times. As a duck dog she's trained to retrieve in water and these balls float very well and she's never been able to puncture a ball despite her chewing. A great value that lasts. Read more
Only ball my power chewer dog doesn't destroy within 5 minutes. He loves these balls! Read more
Great product. I have a French bulldog and this is the perfect size for him. I would definitely suggest a larger size for a larger dog though. 10/10 recommend. Read more
We’ve had multiple GSD for 20 years. We moved to these from Kong products when one of our dogs inadvertently had a tooth knocked out while playing catch. We currently have two large GSD (125# and 145#) and play catch several times a day with them. We use both 3” and 4” balls, as they are free to choose from a pool of a dozen balls in their toy area. They are as wonderful as described in most enthusiastic reviews, and for the reasons stated. However. Whenever we introduce a pair of new balls to the boys, they like to chew on them until they introduce a small split in a seam. The time this takes varies from one ball to the next. Typically this initial damage is so small it can’t be found, but it can be heard as the boys chew on the balls. From that moment, the ball has a limited lifetime. It may be short or long, but eventually one of the boys will decide to go to work and will reduce the ball to pieces. The smaller of our dogs destroyed seven balls in five nights last week. We keep an eye on them so they don’t ingest any pieces, but we have the luxury of being around them 24/7 to protect them from themselves. We’ve also realized these micro fissures probably permit saliva to enter the ball and serve as a breeding ground for bacteria; no amount of external cleaning will protect your pups from this if it is in fact occurring. Not sure if running these through a dishwasher cycle without detergent could help, but them again I’m not sure these are dishwasher safe. Great product, but if you’ve got truly heavy chewers, keep an eye on these balls. Read more
