Highlighted Reviews
"My shepherd/staffy mutt LOVES this toy. She is an aggressive chewer and it stands up to her powerful jaws. The soft texture makes it fun to chew too. The wide opening at the bottom allows us to put in a bit of peanut butter, which extends the play time for her."
"My dog was able to put a million tiny teeth holes in this in less than an hour. The smooth ones seem more durable, the pattern in this may give more grip to be destroyed."
Bottom Line
If you have a small to medium-sized dog, the Outward Hound Sport Ballz Basketball is a good choice. Just be cautious if your dog is an aggressive chewer.
