I was skeptical to get this because my dog loves squeaky balls but he LOVES this thing! He usually leaves his toys outside after we're done playing but he makes sure to bring this back inside. This ball can really bounce and be unpredictable when it hits the ground. Alot of times I'll throw it and if he doesn't catch it it'll hit the ground and shoot in some random direction confusing him but it makes him more excited. It has nubby knobs all over it so throwing it on uneven ground makes it super fun. It can be a little dangerous in the house though because it bounces randomly. A couple times it bounced off the floor, hit the corner of the couch then launched across the room and hits the wall. It's actuallyreally durable too! My dogs an 80 pound Lab Hound mix and he likes to carry the ball around and just chomp down on it continuously. I also play tug with it too because sometimes my dog doesn't want to drop it because he knows we'll play tug. He'll have the ball compressed into a pancake and I can pull it hard enough to lift him off the ground without tearing it. Every time I do it I expect it to break cause we're really forceful with it. I haven't had the chance to play with him in the dark yet though. Only time I get to see it glow is when he goes into a dark room or I turn the lights off. It does glow pretty bright but I'm not quite sure for how long. You definitely won't be disappointed buying this and you're pup will have a blast! Read more
We have had this ball for over a year. The dogs love it’ it’s durable, good bounce, and so far has been indestructible!! We have 5 dogs, 3 of which are big time chewers. Read more
This is the small. In the past I’ve ordered the next size up. Trying out the small and it is still doable and just as durable as the medium or large… can’t remember which size I bought before and wish I would have gone with the next size up…I think. Here’s why, the small is good for smaller to about medium size dogs. My dog is 25lb. Thought I’d try the small since the large (I think) was what I ordered before and it was a bit too big for her mouth. Although she’d still bring it back to me to fill up with treats. :) The durability is awesome but my dog is also not a major chewer. She’d rather chase it and bat it all around with her snout and paws getting treats out!! Love watching her play with it! Keeps her busy too! It’s a daily toy at great time! The only reason I bought the new one is the other is probably 4- 5 years old! That’s how durable these are. I think my dog maybe chewed on a few of the knobs of the old one.. I did tell her no though so I may have trained her not to chew it up but rather use it for batting around and get treats. :) The glow in the dark is great for at night! My dog leaves it wherever… and sometimes I forget to pick it up. :) Read more
My Golden Retriever loves this ball more than all her others! It is small enough that she can hold it in her mouth but large enough that I don't ever worry that she would accidentally swallow it and block her airway. IT is a great bonus that it glows in the dark! It is not super bright so it doesn't glow in a dark room but it is bright enough to see in the yard at night or find when the dog loses it under the bed. This will be the only kind of ball I buy her from now on! Although she's been playing with it for months and other than getting dirty it looks like it did when I got it! I can just throw it in the sink and wash it and back to new! Read more
So there is a tennis court style but a little smaller fenced in play area that I take the dog to almost every night to run. First I had got a "chuckit" glow ball, and she loved it... wouldn't give it up. So I then got a two pack of a very similar ball by a different manufacturer, and they glow just a well but are slightly thicker material and have been holding up a little better. What lead to the purchase of these balls was the size. The others we have been playing with slip through the chain link fence too often, and now some bored people have also pulled up the bottom edge and undone the metal tie down creating a gap that the smaller balls just roll on through. It takes most of the fun out of the session to constantly have to pause and go find where the escapees have eventually stopped. That said, these balls stay in play a lot better. The tendency to get some lift more easily makes me pay closer attention to keeping the kicks low. The nubs on the ball don't give it as much erratic movement as I was hoping for. It mostly makes the ball just skip gentle on a smooth flat surface. Sometimes when they strike the fence they will go in a sharp, unexpected change if direction, which keeps the dog on her toes and interested. The one thing I will say where they come up short compared to other glow in the dark dog balls is the time they hold their glow. These balls lose their radiance really quickly. Definitely bring a small blacklight that has rechargeable batteries. Re-illumination on these is about every 2 or 3 chases. So that is a little disappointing compared to the 10+ min of strong glow which wouldn't need a recharge for at least a half hour with the other balls we have been using. Read more
This ball has an interesting texture that is easy for the dog to grab. It appears tough but it bounces nicely and keeps him moving. The dog likes it. What more can I say? Read more
