""my dogs love this ball! it's easy for them to grab and the handle makes it easy for me to throw (my favorite is the 6"). It's rubber and not hard plastic, it's easy on their legs. my German Shepard started limping after a couple of weeks playing with a hard ball. I took it away and he stopped lim..."

"THIS BALL ARRIVED & LASTED ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE MY 80LB IRISH SETTER HAD CHEWED THE HANDLE AREA OFF AND RED PLASTIC WAS IN HIS MOUTH HES NOT A DESTRUCTABLE DOG SUGGEST THEY TAKE THIS OUT OF YOUR SELECTION OF TOYS, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS PRICY AND NOT HOLDING UP $33.04"

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a fun, short-term toy, this is a good choice. However, expect to replace it frequently.
