"Our female Golden Retriever has every kind of balls and toys available. There is something special about this ball and I can't explain why. Our Golden is obsessed with playing fetch with this ball. She will even play fetch alone with this ball."

— kittens

"Opie destroyed this within 5 minutes!! He chewed it into small, hard pieces that I had to reach into his and retrieve bc was worried he dog would choke on or swallow and develop a blockage. He's had that happen before which is WHY we seek indestructible toys. Only 1 star bc it was required."

Bottom Line

The Ruff Dawg SqueakyBall is a fun and affordable toy for dogs but may not last long. It's best suited for smaller dogs or those who are careful with their toys. It is not recommended for rough chewers or very active dogs, and pet owners should be prepared for the toy to be destroyed quickly.
