"My 60 pound Staffy mix is great at destroying any toy marketed for strong chewers - within a couple of hours. This is his absolute new favorite and hardly ever out of his sight. We are on day three and it only has a few of the little nubby things gone. Other than that it is holding up quite well!..."

"Ball was delivered and 30min of my dog's playing with it it split wide open"

Bottom Line

This toy is durable but not very interactive. It's better suited for smaller or less aggressive chewers. Larger breeds or strong chewers might destroy it quickly, and it could potentially cause damage if not used outdoors.
