"This ball is lumpy, rough, and per my husband, 'looks like it got run through a woodchipper' but our puppy absolutely loves it! Texture encourages him to chew while the material is perfectly able to stand up to his teeth. It has great bounce and an irregular roll which makes it extra fun for him to ..."

β€” Susan

"My GSD loves balls but goes through them really fast because he loves to squeeze them to death. This ball doesn't squeeze. At all. He won't have anything to do with it. I'm sorry, but if your dog picks tennis balls over any other, he won't like this ball. Way too hard."

Bottom Line

If your dog is a moderate chewer and you're okay with the price, it might be worth a try. For hard chewers or very small pups, consider looking elsewhere.
