"This is our malamute's favorite -- we bought this to replace his identical original one which lasted about 9 months. He loves the crinkle sounds, the gaps in the surface and of course the bounce"

"I have a 20 pound Boston terrier & he can’t play with the blue ball because it’s too big for his mouth to grasp. Total waste of money. We have this same ball in red, it’s smaller in size & only purchased this blue ball because the description said it’s for a small sized dog. he loves his red..."
