"Our doggies love running for balls but especially when they squeak (they won't run for reg balls anymore). It's Calvin's mission, however, to try and chew that squeak out. He's usually successful after about 5 runs and then he gets a fresh one. Our dogs are our kids so this little gesture - fresh..."

— Donna

"The quality of the ball’s is not what it used to be... I noticed the white trim on the ball is thinner than it used to be... It’s a chewing hazard."

Bottom Line

Great for entertainment but not for durability. Consider if your dog is a heavy chewer before purchasing.
