This toy is exceptional. I have spent a lot of money on supposedly indestructible toys that were destroyed almost immediately. One of my dogs has bitten the end off of several large black Kong Extreme toys with no difficulty, but he has not damaged this ball in any way even though he has chewed it vigorously. It is small enough to be easily caught but big enough that they are unlikely to choke. It has exactly the right bounce to be fun but unlikely to contribute to injury from erratic movement or jumping. What I appreciate the most is it is soft enough to not harm the dogs' teeth. I have received strong cautions from my veterinary oral surgeon to never use even relatively hard toys of any kind with the power-chewers; the criteria is that if the thumbnail can't make an impression, the toy is too hard. Somehow this ball is soft enough to be safe and still durable under severe use. 100% satisfied, will be buying again. Read more
Our golden retriever loves this ball! It has held up well to a lot of chewing without breaking. It is also the perfect size. Highly recommend Read more
I've searched, and searched for items for our dog, that are made in USA, and it was sadly, difficult. Even Chewy sent me made in China items, which I threw out. I know right away, the difference. The toxic made in China toys, made our dog act like an addict. Whining,not acting herself. Her eyes even looked different. I can for that reason, tell right away. Finally, I found Sodapup. Though a bit pricey, it was well made, and most of all, my dog isn't acting like she's on crack. Goes to show. Do your research, and only buy made in USA products. Sodapup will be the only place I buy any toys for my dog. My dog is now playing with her ball, and no side effects. Thank you Sodapup. Read more
Gave this ball to my 4 month old akita mix, and he loves it! He is a chewer, with a strong bite and hasn’t chewed it up yet. The only negative so far is the ball has a little plastic loop that I worry about him chewing off and choking on. So no unsupervised chewing. Read more
I have 3 pitbulls and although only one of them really plays with it a lot, he thourolgy enjoys it and it keeps him occupied. I've had it for about a week now so I dont know how long it will truly last, but so far I am impressed with the durability. I had to cut off the little rubber tag part, wish that wasnt there.. but no complaints other than that. Toys usually last for 1-2 days at my house or they get bored really easy with them so I am happy with this purchase.. they like the crazy bounce of the ball I think. Read more
its well made and durable but my dog its not fan of it Read more
Our new puppy is an extreme chewer. This ball is very dense and gives him a good challenge for chewing. The knobs on the ball make it bounce in random ways which makes it entertaining as we watch him chase it. Our dog is rather small (about 15 lbs) and this is a bit heavy for him to pick up and run with. He can do it, but he would rather do his chasing with a lighter ball. Bigger dogs should have no issue because of the weight--but this toy is dense enough that our dog has not destroyed it immediately, which he has done with several other toys. Read more
**UPDATE** There are defiantly bite indents and a couple of tears, but no pieces torn off yet. A full day or so with this will have it looking pretty rough, possibly destroyed. I wouldn't suggest these unsupervised. Pieces of rubber clog up a digestion track. The other concern I have is that it's just a hair too small for comfort for my dog's big head and mouth. (70lb pittie mix) This Crazy Bounce ball is smaller to begin with compared to the Kong Extreme that he normally plays with, but he is also able to easily squish it with his teeth. It gets pretty far back in his mouth when he tosses it around or chews on it. I'm not trying to pry this lodged ball out of his throat, so I'm retiring it before the day is over. That being said it's MUCH better then a tennis ball. I can see it being fun for other smaller dogs( as long as they don't tear it up and eat it) but I can only go on my personal experience. I'm 0 for 2 on SodaPup toys. Original review: First impressions: My dog has several of the heavy duty black KONG balls. Those have stayed in perfect shape since I Bought them. He seems to like the SodaPup ball more then the KONG balls but it doesn't seem as heavy duty. The sodaPup is smaller and softer. Also, not as heavy as I expected after reading some people's reviews. There is a rubber tag hanging from it that needs to be cut off right away. So far he likes to chase the it and tossing it around. He loves chewing on it. (almost too much) I took a photo of my dogs old KONG extreme ball and the SodaPup crazy bounce for comparison. I will update if it lasts a week or more. Read more
