Highlighted Reviews
"When I received the ball, not gonna lie, I thought it would be a dud. Hard plastic, no way to get purchase on it with her mouth or a paw - but boy was I wrong! My puppy (14-month old large mixed breed) slaps, spins, paws at and follows this ball around endlessly. She’s actually lost it somewhere ..."
