Questions & Answers

6 Customer Questions


can it be frozen

Answer by ChewyJul 05, 2023
This chew toy can be frozen.

how big is the medium size

Answer by ChewyJul 12, 2019
The dimensions for the Medium are 4.09 (L) x 2.44 (W) x 2.36 (H) inches.

Where is this ball made?

Answer by ChewySep 03, 2020
This ball is made in China.

Is this a harder plastic toy or a spongy plastic that would be easy to swallow? Most I have found are too easy to compress and not good for my Lab.

Answer by ChewyApr 24, 2019
This toy is made out of rubber. It’s always best to keep a close watch on your pup in case things get rough. Supervised play will help toys last longer and most importantly keep your pal safe. No dog toy is truly indestructible, so always remove the toy from playtime if pieces begin to break off.

Very Durable for a tough chewer

This is the third time we have bought this item over 4 years. We put dental sticks or other treats in it to keep our dog occupied. He does chew it also and it lasts

This is the third time we have bought this item over 4 years. We put dental sticks or other treats in it to keep our dog occupied. He does chew it also and it lasts about 6 months which is much longer than other toys in our house.

My dogs don’t enjoy these toys.

It doesn’t work well for treat giving. If you put a treat in so it sticks out a bit they can get in a second but if you want them to work a bit and stick it in more

It doesn’t work well for treat giving. If you put a treat in so it sticks out a bit they can get in a second but if you want them to work a bit and stick it in more they can’t get it out. They show no interest in this toy but it seemed like a good idea.

Puppies love it!

I need to order 2 more so the boys don't compete with each other for it. It is also the longest a chew toy has lasted with them!

Wonderful toy, and good for hard chewers like my German Shepherd! Sometimes I put peanut butter in the holes, keeps her busy for an hour or more!

The orange football gets a ton of use in our house. After her walk, our husky-mix brings the football for her treat -- usually half a milkbone stuffed inside. She'll approach us 2-3 times for refills. If we leave it lying around the house, she's sure to bring it to us in hopes of yet another treat. It's probably her favorite toy!

My dog can't chew and chew on this and it's still last after many months. When I toss it, it bounces erratically to make it more fun.
