"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."

Bottom Line

A durable water-resistant device for playing with dogs
