Can this ball withstand heavy chewing?

No, it may not last long with heavy chewers. Booner is a good example of durability.

Highlighted Reviews

— Kristen

"These are great! Though my lab might not think the same. I think he prefers to chew the tennis ball to pieces and leave a trail! ;) These have lasted a full 48hrs so far and Boomer has settled for lots of fetches instead. Recommend!"

— VickysMom

"Whoever thought these were indestructible didn't know what a dedicated chewer my dog is. That being said, the duracore construction means the remnants last (and even continue bouncing) much longer than a standard tennis ball, and that's good enough for us."

Bottom Line

It is a solid choice but might not last long for tough chewers. Buyers should expect mixed results.
