We have had many toys for our pup. Cheap, Extensive. Fluffy, rubber. Squeaker, not. This is the best dog toy. Lasted 2 years and just ordered our replacement. Loud speaker, rubber texture so easy to clean. HIGHLY recommend for a small/medium dog Read more

Great quality! Size is perfect for my basset pup. He loves the squeaker (can’t squeak it himself yet) and loves to chase it around on the floor. Perfect to get some energy out Read more

Our Johan (90 lb GSD) is so funny when he gets a new toy. The first five minutes he carefully carries it around, stopping occasionally to gently set it down and sniff. Then pick it up again, giving a tiny squeeze to make a faint squeak. After five or six minutes he will settle down somewhere and experiment with the squeak, making a series of rapid squeaks, shifting his grip on the toy to vary the tone of the squeaks. This stage can take awhile, up to an hour if the toy isn't a round ball as he tries different angles to find what he likes best. Then the real noise starts. He will get as close to me and squeak it as loud and constantly as he can. This is generally when I throw him outside with the toy but he will recommence every time he comes in until he decides the stage is completed. Then he starts tossing it at me to get a game of catch going. No, not fetch, he doesn't want to have to chase it nor does he hand it to me or even drop it next to me. He stands five or six feet from me and tosses it at me to catch then I have to toss it back for him to catch. No, this stage can not be avoided either. After a couple hours outside squeaking it at anything that moves, trying to convince the neighbors, their dogs, cats, wild birds, rabbits, squirrels, groundhogs, and anything else he might see to come play with his new ball he will finally come in tired and take a nap. I really appreciate the ten minutes or so of peace and quiet before he wakes up ready for another game of catch. He really loved this toy, the nubs and texture give him a mouth fill he really enjoys. The squeaker was REALLY loud! It was neither to or to soft. He had a great 24 hours with it. 24 hours is actually about the average life span of squeakers for him, he tends to wear them out fast with the chronic squeaking and actually the squeaker is fine. The problem is it's no longer attached to the ball. Yup, completely blew it out leaving a hole just the right size for a tongue to get sucked in to, a potentially dangerous situation. I alleviated the problem by cutting a small hole opposite the opening left by the squeaker so it's safe now. If your dog isn't a strong chewer or power squeaker I expect this toy would last a long time however I wouldn't recommend allowing a dog to play with it unsupervised until you know for sure. Still, yes, I will probably order him another one. Read more

My rough collie's favorite ball. She gives it five stars! Read more

I do not have any dogs that are hard on toys. I have 4 dogs now and 2 others that are over the rainbow bridge. There are some toys from the first two that are still being played with by these 4. One of the toys is one of the original Vermont Chew Man toys. Many people today would not even know what that was. Back in 1992 it was one of the first toys I bought for my first puppy. Over the years it has been played with by these 4 dogs and two other rescues I fostered. It is a bit on the ragged side mostly just chewed, but not ever enough that I had to sew it back together. This ball will be perfect for them. It is sturdier than I need, but it will join the toys in two large bins. Read more

My dogs enjoy this ball with great enthusiasm! I have purchased several. The chewability is excellent, very long life. THE PROBLEM IS THE SQUEEKER LIFE! From my purchases, it lasts from 5 minutes of playing fetch to the longest period of three days of fetch at 30-45 minutes total each day. One cause is that the size of the air hole is the exact size for a dog's canine teeth to puncture and this area is not as tough as the rest of the ball. Hopefully, the manufacturer can correct this issue. I should have ask for replacements. Especially after spending $50 on purchases. Read more
