Highlighted Reviews
"The 15 inch (small size) was just perfect for adding to our agility training toy collection. My dog is 58 lbs. There is no reason to size up. I don't let him have it unsupervised, though, as he'd have it completely shredded in minutes. He really likes this toy though and specifically looks for it."
"Unfortunately my 2 year old German Shepherd chewed through the ball on the first day and therefore I had to throw it out. The product was not able to withstand the strength of his jaws and teeth. Disappointing."
Bottom Line
This toy is good for smaller, less aggressive dogs. However its not good for big dogs with strong jaws and for harsh chewers.
