Chuckit! Ultra Tug Ball Tough Dog Toy

Our rescue pitbull is rough on his toys. He plays with them all day and between the tossing and chewing and tugging and the snuggling they get worn our quickly. We were spending an insane amount on toys until we found the affordable and long lasting Chuck-it brand. Our boy likes to play tug with just a ball. Well, despite having a sweet pup, not one of us want to risk a pinched finger in his mouth to play tug so we ordered the toy. I think we love it more than he does since now we have an actual chance to maintain a hold on the ball! I though for sure he'd shred the rope portion but he hasn't. He doesn't really chew in thst part either... Yet. Well see how that goes when/if he does. The Our rescue pitbull is rough on his toys.

The ball holds shape and he has yet to puncture or tear the ball despite the access to do so with the hold in the middle for the rope. We have over 9 of the regular balls, one smaller squeaker ball, fetch stick and this tug rope with ball attached to it. All of them are still in good shape, he hasn't chewed through a single one. We worried that with the fetch stick he would chew it through like a chewbone. He chews in it but hasn't punctured it yet. This is his preferred brand of toy now. He's absolutely spoiled and we don't mind. … more

Like most toys that involve balls I automatically thought this would float. Sadly, this ball when underwater on my very first toss. My dog was so heartbroken and it was so hard to get her to come back to the shore. When she finally did she just looked back into the water and back at me like this was some bad, bad trick of mine.

I have a 2 yr old heeler and this is his favorite! It’s easier to carry around than the Chuckit! Ball flinger, I can take it from his month easily if he is being stubborn (no more slobber covered hands), and when we aren’t playing fetch he enjoys carrying it in his month and it seems to keep him calmer around other dogs. I don’t let him play with it unsupervised because he is a chewer and has chewed through the rope end completely before (I bought multiples of these so no biggie). I recommend, but it definitely depends on the dog.

My Great Pyrenees mix Lulu LOVES this toy. She plays with it for hours wether it’s by herself or with us throwing it. When she’s done she carries it around everywhere just in case she feels like playing with it again. It’s durable and lots of fun!

This is a tough little toy but my small Frenchie prefers softer toys. Even the strap is really hard & not flexible.

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.
