Highlighted Reviews

— Norma 2 found helpful

"Just the right size, pliability, and bounce for my lab. It’s his go-to ball from his basket of balls. He’s pretty rough on his toys."

— Antoinette

"It lasted a week. Not too happy with that. At the beginning it was great they both loved it then it was chewed and chewed then pieces started off had to toss it."

Bottom Line

Great for playtime but not for heavy chewers due to durability concerns. Consider it for occasional use or as a part of a toy rotation.
