Jolly Dog Football 8-Green Apple Model JF08 GR for All Breed Sizes

This football throws extremely well. It has a good weight and balance to it and you can get a great spiral on it. The texture if really good and grippy, until there is too much dog slobber on it and then, well you will throw some ducks. My German Shepherd loves Jolly brand balls and has put thousands and thousands of puncture holes in our Jolly balls over the years! Just for perspective, my dog will pop a regular tennis ball in one or two bites for fun, but our Jolly balls have lasted for years. This football is the typical Jolly ball formula, where there is no air pressure inside the ball. The ball's shape is formed when the plastic is molded, so you can basically put a million holes in this ball and it will still be perfectly shaped and you can throw it. It will however occasionally get crushed partially flat, but you can easily flex it and it regains its football shape. We have several jolly balls (with the handle, soccer, and this football). They are all amazing and have lasted a very long time. You must realize that these are not intended to be indestructible and can be torn apart in 30 seconds if you dog's intent is to rip it apart. I use this as a "attended" toy. I pull this out and we play with it and then I put it away. At no time does my dog try and destroy it or rip parts of off. Our first Jolly brand ball was purchased over 2 years ago and it has thousands of bite puncture holes in it. My dog bites this ball hard and will repeatedly crush it in their mouth like it is chewing gum. They will bite down and shake heir head and it has held up extremely well, way beyond my expectations. There are a few spots where their molars have cut a slot and I think the balls will eventually fall apart when more of these gashes align to form very large tears. Watch out if you buy any similar ball that is not a Jolly brand ball (which are made in the USA). Many generic knock off balls have many horrible stories where dogs wore down their teeth to little nubs using the knock off balls. I think the knock off balls had something abrasive in the plastic, and the pictures in the reviews showed horrible dental issues. Read more

We’ve had the orange version of this football for years and just got him the green one for inside play. He is an 85 pound dog and this toy is perfect for him. It is honestly his favorite and the longest lasting toy he has ever had. He wants to play with it every single day. The material feels high quality, thick, and really durable. He loves how he can grip, catch, and chew it without it losing shape. The size is just right for a big dog like him and it floats too, which is great for water play. For the price this is such a solid value. Honestly this football is built to last and he absolutely loves it. Read more

I have a doberman that tears through toys - I have searched and searched for a toy she loves but doesn't destroy - THIS IS IT! It allows her to chew, toss and chase without being tore up --- there is a "deflating" sound when she compresses it then it pops right back up into shape. She loves it and it has lasted a month now!

Dog loved it because of the grape scent but ripped it apart within five minutes and most likely ate the pieces very disappointing. Read more

I have two dogs, a German Shepard and a Boxer/Husky/Pit Mix, they abuse every toy unfortunate enough to enter our home. Until we discovered Jolly Pets! We purchased the football as, I wanted to see if I could kick/punt it. The ball is small, but it takes a beating pretty well, my dogs love running up and down the local dog park chasing this thing! The ball is about the size of a youth football, and is made of a soft rubber, similar to the Jolly Pets soccer balls. Herr are some Pro’s - Never Deflates - Tough Material - Bright colors make it super easy to find - Great for Medium/Large dogs - deflates on contact, you won’t hurt anyone more than a bruise if you get hit or accidentally hit someone with it. Here are some Con’s - The ball gets super slimy and wet, it is not a dog drool proof toy, after awhile if you don’t have a towel this thing gets disgusting. - Although the ball is tough, my dogs are puncturing and denting the toy, and I have concerns about the rubber being ingested.

Dog had a lot of fun for the price compared to other toys but the rubber is a lot thinner and less durable than I expected. The whole ball melted into a flat pancake after being in the sun for a couple hours. When the ball even got slightly warm it would become very soft and my dog could easily rip pieces off. Read more

My dog loves this toy. Read more
