Hartz Dura Play Ball Squeaky Latex Dog Toy, Color Varies

I was just a little hesitant about the new home, ya never really know if you get a forever home or just a place to hangout. When the kids and grandkids showed up with several new toys I knew I was home. The long terry cloth dog looking thing lasted a day until I shook the head off and never saw it again. The blue treat ball is kool, but no treat, no fun. A fire hose has a good squeak, but in three days it was silent. Still a very chewable toy, but silent. For some reason they held the orange ball back, something about it looking "flimsy." So they gave it a try. Knew I had to hold back a little or it might disappear also. Master gave it a squeak and I was after that ball. No holds barred I was just a little hesitant about the new home, ya never really know if you get a forever home or just a place to hangout.

Master gave it a squeak and I was after that ball. No holds barred. It goes everywhere with me. A squeak here, a squeak there, even a squeak when the cat gets to close. After a week the ball would disappear at bed time and reappear in the breakfast dish. Not really sure why, but it makes me happy to see it with breakfast. It has been four weeks and the squeaker getting week. But I know that Master ordered four more in different colors because if I don't answer the first call he will squeak a new ball to get my attention. Got to get off the computer as Mrs. Master has just got home and she does not know I have learned how to tech. … more

Honestly, I don’t know whether to give this 5 stars or 1 star. The second this came out of the Chewy box, my dog grabbed it and played with it for an hour straight. She never spends that much time playing with a ball. She only stopped playing because I hid it when she wasn’t looking. Bad idea. She obsessively went through the house looking for it. So she got it back. Played more. I tried to hide it again. Searched again. Gave it back to her. Now two days later, we are up at 5:45 am so that she can play with it. She usually destroys toys, so I’m not sure how this softer ball isn’t in pieces yet. I don’t know what they put in it to make it take over a dog’s whole brain, but it’s effective, whatever Honestly, I don’t know whether to give this 5 stars or 1 star.

So my dog got one of these balls from the next door neighbors big mixed breed. He outgrew it big time and could fit the entire thing in his mouth. Anyways I have a 3 year old throwback pomeranian weighing about 15lbs and she would take the size large ball and carry it everywhere. She shows it off to everybody, she sleeps with it, she brings it on car rides, everything. So I had to get more in case her pride and joy ever popped because that would be awful for me. I ordered 3 of the size large again because the size smalls were tiny and she could fit the entire thing in her mouth. She found the new pink ball when the box came in and now has a new pride and joy. I have no idea what it is about these So my dog got one of these balls from the next door neighbors big mixed breed.

My 4 year old Aussie loves this ball. I throw it and she catches it and packs it around with her in the house all the time. She even whines and fusses if it gets in a spot where she can’t get it out. It’s nice and soft for playing in the house. Had to buy a new one to replace the one she got as a puppy because it was beginning to split on the side a little bit. It’s had a hard workout for years!!!!

Great squeaky toy . . . my Rotti's new favorite. I love that it is latex and doesn't get soggy! The size is also great, less likely to roll under the couch and out of his reach. When he has a play date, this is their go to for fun, chasing each other around playing keep-away!

I have a newfoundland puppy and he discovered this toy at a dog park. He is a big chewer and it has been difficult to find bones to keep him occupied, in part, because he goes through them quickly. This ball has done the job and comes in bright colors so that it is easily found. It is soft enough so that he can grip it with his teeth and compress it so that it squeaks, but is durable enough so that he has not poked a hole in it yet. The ball also bounces for dogs that like to play catch.

I was very surprised about the durability of the material. I have a large heavy chewing pit and it took him weeks to put a hole in the ball. He loves anything that is squeaky and plays with this constantly. Good price if you need to end up replacing it in the future

What a disappointment this was. Wile the ball itself is soft, yet sturdy, it stopped squeaking after only a few hours. I was buying the 99 cent tennis balls pretty regularly, but those stop squeaking after a few days. I figured I would splurge and pay $7 for this one because I expected it to be more rugged. Don't waste your money if you are expecting it to last more than a few hours. I go back to buying the much less expensive ones.

I purchased this for a puppy we were getting. Before the puppy arrived I let my 16# Bichon/Chinese Crested play with it....it lasted about 5 minutes before he was able to chew apart the latex covering. Hardly a sturdy toy.

I have 2 large labradoodles. They both LOVE this ball because it squeaks and floats, and it’s a ball. My ball player pup tosses and chases this ball and has lots of fun. My chewer pup had her ball destroyed in about 10 minutes. Bottom line - not for any dog with a chewing tendency. For others, he best toy ever.
