In a Nutshell

Constructed to last, good pool toy for mini golden doodles and shepherds
a valued chew toy for big dogs
Confusing in foam material frustrates some buyers for chewing dogs who destroy items easily, especially for the advertised foam material

Quick Verdict

Durbest for chewing, floating ball beneficial for pool play, pets of all sizes, few sizing complaints. Neat design takes a beating, but reviews disagree on material type, not good for chewing dogs who can tear it apart with ease.

"Many a ball have gone into the recycle bin, they don't stand a chance against Pitty jaws and tenacity; except this one. Baby Girl loves this ball and it's going on 4 mo without any punctures or shredding. Highly recommended for any active and destructive chewing breed."

— Pam

"Ball indicated it was a nerf ball. It is hard rubber. Said it would float in pool. Does not. Says it is appropriate for Small, Medium, and Large dogs right on the package. Our dog cannot even get her mouth around it. Gigantic piece of Crap. Total waste of money."
