Highlighted Reviews

— Vicki

"My dog loves this ball. She chases it, and swings it around. Not sure how she would make it through the day without Mr. Ball!"

— Amichu

"My German Shepherd ripped it apart and was taking the stuffing out in less than 12 hours from giving it to her. She LOVED IT for the half day it lasted but not worth it. Do not waste your money on this if you have a big dog!"

Bottom Line

Ideal for small or gentle dogs, but not advised for heavy chewers or large breeds due to quick destroy ability. Some users have found ways to repair it, but overall, the durability is a significant concern.
