Highlighted Reviews
"This toy is absolutely ridiculous in the most delightful way. The ball is slightly bigger than a tennis ball, but definitely smaller than a softball with good weight. It pops out of the soft stuffie square."
"We are not fans of this toy. Nothing squeaks, nothing crinkles. What's the point? The ball is cute - but it's hard, more like a rock than a tennis ball. It's the same size as a standard tennis ball, though - which is too big for my dogs (both 25-pound doodle-mutts)."

However, it may not hold up to aggressive chewers and some dogs may not find it appealing. Overall, it's a decent toy for the right dog, but buyers should consider their dog's chewing habits and play style.
