Chuckit! Ultra Tug Ball Tough Dog Toy, Large

This is Rambler's favorite toy. He's a 37lb energetic blue heeler rescue. It's the best of both worlds. A ball and a tug toy. He loves to tear apart tennis balls by pulling on the outer fuzz. This ball is all rubber which keeps him from tearing it open. This ball also has a little bit of give to it so he loves chomping on it.

Got it as a replacement for one that my new dog loved to pieces, and it's great for playing tug and throw. But two dogs playing tug of war with it--well, the strap lasted from delivery till dinnertime.

Our very strong, working-line German Shepherd has destroyed and even eaten many toys that were supposed to be tough. This product (large size) is the only one that has survived. We like this strap ball enough to have purchased three pairs, the oldest pair having lasted through daily chasing, catching, thrashing, and chewing in the outdoors for 2.5 years. The photos show that they have been frayed and faded, but are still in use. Yes, that's our dog; she is very possessive and parades around with all 6 of her prizes.

My dog is a chew-monster who can eat (literally eat) a tennis ball in <10 minutes while walking. Normal Chuckit! balls last a few hours. This Chuckit! has lasted 9 months! I think that the rope attachment inside actually prevents him from being able to bite clean through the ball or tear chunks out of it. It's still holding on, but has some cracks and punctures now, so we'll be purchasing a replacement. Some notes: 1) Early on I scolded him for chewing on the rope part and he's mostly left it alone since he prefers chewing on the ball anyway, but if your pup loves nylon rope, I can't speak to how well that part holds up. 2) We once forgot this toy outside in the sun for week and it was My dog is a chew-monster who can eat (literally eat) a tennis ball in <10 minutes while walking.

Another one that went into the toy graveyard instead of the toy box. Puppa just adores all versions of the Chuckit! balls except this one. He proceeded to focus on tearing off the nylon strap instead of the ball part.

My dog is really enjoying this product and though I’m not confident of how long it will last, it has endured some very intense chewing.

My German Shepherd loves this new toy . Fetch is a favorite game and this ball makes both fetch and tug games fun.

Ooops! Learned the hard way.. assumed that this would float since it’s a chuckit. Threw it out in the lake and bye bye. Dogs really liked it for the short time they got to play tug with it though, and they play rough.

My 9 week old puppy loves to chew on this and play tug of war. It’s very sturdy.

Unfortunately, our first throw with this dog toy sunk in a lake while trying to play fetch with our Retriever. Unable to review the toy beyond that.
