I read many reviews on products from other companies and initially purchased a herding ball with a cloth cover that had amazing reviews and was a little less expensive. Unfortunately, I didn't have the same success with that ball as others as it didn't hold air well and I had to reinflate often which also increased the chance of puncturing the internal ball and quite frankly was a pain. I have purchased the smaller soccer balls with tabs from QDan that have held up beautifully (well over two years so far with daily play) so I decided to pay a little more and try this one. Three weeks in of daily use and I couldn't be happier. Not one issue with air leaking, it's durable and cleans up with a spray of the hose. It is heavier than the other same size ball that I had purchased with the cloth cover but that's not an issue for me or my dog. My border collie/lab loves it! She plays with it for hours and it not only provides great exercise and fun but also mental stimulation when she rolls it into a tight spot in the yard and has to figure out how to get it out (lots of barks and growling, which is hilarious). It has proven to be well worth the money, in my opinion, and I believe it will continue to offer hours of fun for my girl for a long time to come. Read more
Awesome toy for my dogs. They destroy everything in the toy department. This has lasted For a year now, bought in January last year. And still going strong. Read more
We bought this ball almost three years ago. It is still holding strong after numerous big dogs have played with it. Chased, pounced, tugged, you name it. The outside finally started fraying but the inside bladder is holding strong! What a great ball. Super recommend this ball. Read more
Straps didn’t hold up my two herding dogs did a number on it but it is a quality product the ball itself is still in tact Read more
My pup loves this ball! He loves that he can carry it all around the yard and throw it to himself too. He keeps himself entertained and gets a lot of running in too. A lifesaver for a high energy pup. He probably could pop it easily but so far hasn’t tried to sink his teeth into it. He so far tore one tab but it is still half attached and there are always other tabs he can use (he seems to prefer just grabbing the longest tab that he has made longer by tearing one side). A great ball. We bought a second one as a back up in case he accidentally tosses it over the fence or pops it as it really is his favorite toy by far. Read more
My Australian cattle dogs loved this, but after about 2 weeks the straps started breaking. Then maybe 3 weeks of having it they popped it. I did love that it came with a pump, that was very helpful. Wish it was a little more durable! Read more
Update (6 Dec 2025): Customer service reached out to me quickly and sent me a new ball. My little pup loves it and it's the perfect size for him...and even better, he hasn't been able to chew through the tabs! I definitely recommend you try this toy. :) _____ The ball seems to be a good size for our 9lb puppy, is cute, and seems be good quality. However, the one that we received has a leak in the stitching that is preventing us from inflating it fully, so we can't play with it properly. Read more
Dog is a chewer and chewed all of the tags off. Ball seems sturdy until he left it somewhere on the property. Not fault of the manufacturer. Read more
