Jolly Pets Romp-n-Roll Rope and Ball Dog Toy 4 5 Inches Small Blue 645 BL for Small Breeds

My Labrador absolutely loves this ball, very sturdy and withstands being dragged thru fields, ditch banks and ponds. Rope is strong enough to play tug of war with his German shepherd best dog pal. They really have put this ball to the test and it still looks new expect maybe some fraying to the rope but it overall is a great quality, sturdy ball for outside play. Read more

Absolutely the best dog toy for my Aussie. She loves it. There is no squeak noise so its wonderful. Has some hole punctures from her teeth but holding up well. Read more

We have a 50lb Shar-Pei mix and a 65lb Catahoula mix, both are in love with this ball! I got the 8" and was bigger than I thought it would be, which is perfectly fine (it's about the size of a soccer ball) and because of the size I know the ball will last for a very long time, as they won't be able to fit it in their mouths to chew it up. The only problem I have is the rope. They were given the ball yesterday right after it was delivered and after an hour or so of play our Shar-Pei (who is a master chewer) was starting to cut through the rope. Because of his chewing, most toys (including this one) are outside only (he not only chews up the toys, but will also eat them if given the chance) I thought the rope would hold up longer being that it is limited play outside, but alas, the rope will be sawed through by the end of the week I'm sure. I knotted the rope against the ball to try and make it last a bit longer, (they won't want anything to do with it if they can't pick it up) As the toy isn't cheep, and they love it so much, I'm hoping I can find the rope they use for dog toys so I can just replace it. Over all it's a big hit! However because of the rope issue we are going to get the jolly ball with the handle next time and see how they like that one. ............................................................................................................................. UPDATE - 2 Months After Purchase: OK so we have had the Jolly for about 2 months now and I thought I'd do an update. The rope has actually held up FAR better than I had expected it to. I have not had to replace the rope, and it is still mostly intact. Two months of tug has it very beat up tho. The ball itself still looks almost new. We were so extremely pleased with this toy we just got a second one. I knotted the rope one the new one like it did with the first, so that there is a knot tight against each side of the ball) as I think that really is helping to extend the life of the rope some. One word of advise tho (we learned the hard way) if you live down south like we do, and have fire ants...DO NOT leave this toy in the yard over night!!! Luckily, I had spotted it before the dogs went to play that morning, in one night a bunch of fire ants had nested inside the ball. It took about 3 days of submerging the ball in water to flush them all out (I think they were gone after 2 days but I wanted to be positive every last one was out before they played with it again).

My dog is obsessed with this ball even though she can barely get her mouth around it (she’s a a pit mix). She’s a super chewer and it’s held up very well. Would be even better for larger breeds like a Shepherd or a Great Dane. The rope part, however, is not good. It’s very stringy and falls apart quickly. Read more

My dog loves jolly balls and the rope tug on this one is fun for us to play tug of war and for me to throw it without touching the slobbery ball. They don't deflate even when punctured which is great. My dog, however, is a strong chewer and he pretty quickly manages to chew them apart until they're half shells of a ball but he still enjoys playing with them even then. Read more

Friend had this ball for her dog and when I went to visit her my 6 month old red heeler loving playing with this toy. Toy is durable which is good as our dog is in her chew on everything stage. Weight is perfect for her. She is able to lift it and play with it. Read more

The rope didn't last very long, it unraveled and became stringy. My 75 lb cane corso pup loved it but I had to toss the rope, so now it's just the ball. Great toy just wish the rope was more durable. Read more

Easily my dogs (2 year old English Bull Terrier) favorite toy! Every morning he runs outside and swings it around and around. It's holding up well so far - he's very hard on toys - but this one is lasting! Read more
