KONG Jumbler Ball Dog Toy, Color Varies

For 10 bucks this was a great toy. The problem is that they decompose quickly. After 3-4 months the plastic is turning white and brittle and chunks of plastic are breaking off. So for 10 bucks, fine, I'll buy a new one every 3 months, but now the price is 20 bucks, that's a high price for a 3 month toy. The photo is his L/XL ball at 5 months, which should have been thrown out a while ago, and we discarded his football two weeks ago which was a month newer. The plastic just doesn't hold up. The reason I give it 3 stars is because Milo really likes to carry it around. He switches off, but this is his "go to". Minus a star for quality and another for the price.

It is well worth listening to the intense squeaking of this amazing toy, because it brings hours and hours of joy to my German Shepherd puppy, Spirit! I purchased a pool for her and she takes this toy into the pool and everywhere else she goes, too! She will chase it for hours and also carries it all around the yard as she chases butterflies! I initially bought a medium orange one and then a larger one that happened to come in purple. I had to get two of them, because the opening for the "squeak" sound took in some water from being played with in her pool. So, now I have one for indoors and one for outdoors. Seriously, I thank God for the individual who invented this marvelous toy!

LOVE everything about this ball. My GSD doesn’t like the hard rubber of the usual Kongs. I’ve tried lots of styles. He loves this ball. His snout is too lg to enable him to carry the ball by the handles however his mouth is lg enough to just bite the ball to carry it. The squeaker is a bonus and has lasted longer than most. Yes, it has a sm half moon tear after a week or so of daily play. The upside of the tear is it allows the water to drain out of the interior of the ball after playing with it daily in the pool. Only have positives to say about this toy.

At first, my dog was afraid of this toy. It took him a couple of minutes to get used to it but now he absolutely loves it. It is really fun to see him playing and tossing around and chasing it. He is a chewer and within the first hour there were some punctures so I am taking the toy away and replacing it with a chew toy once he starts chewing it - not the ideal world but it's been working for us, the ball is still in great shape and he gets super excited every time he plays with it.

I always get my dog kong toys and he loves them. I saw this one and it has a tennis ball inside. My dog loves tennis balls but he cannot have them because he chews them up and swallows the pieces. This toy he was SO happy to have he plays with it on his own and with us. He carries it around everywhere he goes and even cuddles with it. Big success! He useally chews through cheap stuff in one day but this one has lasted a long time so far! Happy!

My shepherd mix loves anything round she can keep away from me. This has ergonomic handles (for the human) that the dog can bite and owner can tug on at the same time. The tennis ball inside the bigger ball makes for a good puzzle. One that my dog has yet to figure out. She usually chews up everything and despite being left alone with this while I'm at work, its still in one piece. Even the smaller one that I bought for my beagle is still intact.

I loved the idea of the toy and a lot of the reviews gave me hope that our Catahoula would have another toy to add to her list of the living toys. Alas, she was too much for the toy. Despite our best efforts to show her that we could tug, throw, bounce, squeak with this toy ... within an hour she had created a weak spot near the squeaker and it was all downhill from there. I will say the visual of her shoving her snoot and part of her head into the toy to remove the ball (which quickly lost its life) was fun, but picking up all the plastic pieces and knowing she killed another toy ... not so fun.

I have two very destructive chewers. Even the toughest toys get chewed to pieces..forget about squeaky toys..squeaker is out and chewed up in about 5 minutes! These are small dogs - one is a Min-Pin mix and the other is a Doxie mix, both only about 13 lbs. I bought the smaller of the two sizes of Jumbler Ball and it's perfect. They can carry it around by the handle and they can bite the sides to squeak the toy, but they can't get enough of a grip to chew it up. (At least so far, and we've had this about 2 weeks!) I can play tug-of-war with them and my hand doesn't get chewed, either! I'll wait a couple of months, and if it continues to perform this well, I will get another one for them.

I got this recently for my 6 month old American Pitbull Mix puppy because she's more active now. I'm not sure why she's not playing with the toy, but she seems to be very uninterested with it. She tossed it around the first time I got it out of the packaging, she learned to pounce on it to make it squeak, but she just won't play with it. It was a waste of money for us, I hope your pup is having a better experience with this toy than mine.

I bought this toy on sale for our 15 month old GSD. He isn’t toooo much of a chewer, but the oinking/groaning/squawking piggies are getting to be a pain to replace (currently there are SEVEN, and only one has the ability to speak. Jet has silenced them ALL. Never to oink-groan-squawk again!)! He has been carrying this toy around (with a pigs ear and a beef trachea shoved in there as well!) in his mouth for 3 days now. I’d say he likes it!
