Jolly Pets Tug-n-Toss Dog Toy, Purple

Bought this for our just turned 1 yr old goldenretriever. He chews through everything and unfortunately this toy last about 2 hours before he chewed the handle off and punctured the ball portion. If your dog doesn't chew alot its perfect but unfortunately not durable to big chewers.

People complain this isn't for chewers -- well, it's NOT -- this toy is the BEST for dogs that will run and fetch until you stop. The handle is great for tossing and for them to carry. This is my sheltie's favorite toy....he is about 25 lbs and I use both the 8" and 6" for him - the bright colors make them easy to find on the farm as well if he can't remember where he left it he always finds one!!

I have a very hard chewer. He had the handle removed in five minutes. I honestly thought it would last longer. If you have an extreme chewer in your home, consider a different toy. The handle is hollow and unfortunately that doesn’t make for a long lasting product.

Bought the 6" and the 8" for my German Shepherd and husky dogs excited to give them something to play with besides bones and my husky had the handle chewed off within the first 5 minutes so i took it from her and cut the rest of the handle off so she wouldn't ingest any pieces only to find this ball is hollow all the way through. Not sure why I thought it was a solid piece but was disappointed to see it wasn't and upon giving her the ball back she immediately started working on the area I'd just cut off so I had to take it away as she would've devoured it in no time. So if you have a power chewer and are looking for a solid ball keep looking. THIS is NOT it.

My pup liked this and worked for playing fetch but afterwards she chewed off the handle of this so quickly and had to throw away. Not as expensive as some toys but still disappointed given it's not cheap and only got one game of fetch or of it.

**TLDR: great ball for herders and fetchers, won't deflate when chewed, wish I found it sooner.** >>I have two blue heeler mixes that love to herd and fetch bigger sized balls. We were spending way too much money on soccer balls that they would deflate in about three days or less. Tried the indestructible herding ball, but it was a little to heavy for them, they can't pick it up, and it doesn't bounce. Finally found this gem of a ball and they LOVE it. The first thing they did was herd it all around the yard. The handle helps a lot when throwing the ball for fetch and when they pick it up to bring it back. It's covered in deep bite marks, but it still bounces and isn't flat! ###Some people **TLDR: great ball for herders and fetchers, won't deflate when chewed, wish I found it sooner.** >>I have two blue heeler mixes that love to herd and fetch bigger sized balls.

Although, even if your dog chews the handle, they can still pick it up and you can use it to throw. A chewed handle will not deflate the ball. I can't recommend this enough! … more

This product was suggested by a Chewy customer service rep for my aggressive chewers...but unfortunately it did not last 20 minutes.

My 7 month old German shepherd loves this ball. It is her favorite toy by far. She did chew the handle in half within the first 12 hours. After 2 weeks the handle is now chewed off. We still play with it. I kick it for her or I throw it for her like I’m bowling. Handle does not last for aggressive chewers but the fun part for her is wonderful

This is getting a lot of hate because people are letting their dogs chew on this...dogs eat bones....of course this will not stand up to dogs chewing. I have larger versions of this that I can not even find anymore and my dogs love them still. Yes the handles are all ripped off but this is due to the thrashing my dogs do when they fetch it. Some are littered with teeth marks and it still has the same function. My dogs fetch these all day long if I let them. I wish I could find the 10 and 12 inch ones nowadays

My one year old Belgian Malinois absolutely loves his Jolly Ball. I don’t leave it with him unless he’s supervised because he has eaten parts of the handle. I use this toy mostly so we can play outside together. Loves playing tug with it and seems very durable so far.
