Virtually Indestructible Best Ball for Dogs, 10-inch

After reading the reviews I decided to take a chance. I couldn’t be happier that I did! I own a 55lb named Finn who is the scourge of balls everywhere. He’s a staffy who takes toys labeled “indestructible” as a personal challenge. Seriously, most Kong toys last about 30-60 minutes. If he’s not interested. Needless to say, I don’t often buy balls like this because I need to also occasionally feed us & pay my mortgage but the reviews were too good to not at least give it a try once. This thing is absolutely amazing! I don’t know where they sourced the material it’s made of (Mars? An asteroid?) but he is obsessed with it! He has run an hour straight, herding it, nosing it into the air, biting at it and zero damage! This is, literally, the only toy in general, ball specifically, that he cannot bite & carry around with him! I had to half drag him into the house yesterday because he was clearly ok with having a heat stroke rather than stop playing with it!I agree with most other reviewers, this is an outdoor ball imho. It’s thick, heavy & if your puppers is bonkers like mine, things *will* get broken in the chaos! Don’t kick it, your toes will thank you!Cons-Non! Unless you have more than one dog that never stops, loves balls & you’re not expecting to get what you’re hoping for!

The media could not be loaded. My dog is very energetic. She rather play than eat. She got this ball for Christmas, and then brought home a new friend, that someone dumped at our house. She entertains herself chasing this thing! It completely wears her out. No small feat! Her Buddy, is a still a puppy and an avid chewer. He has chewed through most of her toys. He is more interested in chasing her in small sprints than chasing after her ball, but neither have managed to chew this ball to pieces. I don't recommend bringing this it inside, it's an outdoor toy only. Smell? It smells like plastic, my dogs don't care and it's extremely hard. It hurts if it hits you. It's not a ball they can chew, play fetch with, nor does it bounce well. It's well designed and goes fast across the field, allowing her chase it a her top speed. It's light enough, for her to throw it in the air with her nose. She plays so rough with it, that she bloodies her nose, but begs and whines to play with it several times a day, so much I usually have to take it away from her. It's perfect when we have limited outdoor time. It floats too.

Very durable. It’s a large hard ball, but it is pretty lightweight. My dog loves it. He does try to bite it but it’s too big for his mouth and even if he did there’s no way he’s popping this ball. It’s not great for in the house or a small back yard bc it’s loud when it knocks into things. It’s very lightweight so we can carry it to the dog park and he plays nonstop. My retriever loves it, other dog could care less so I recommend for a dog who loves playing fetch or high energy.

I ordered a blue ball, but received a red ball. Been using it for a few months with my herding dog, and it is indestructible, but it is loud as heck when she rams it into stuff. It also hurts! She does enjoy it, but gets bored after awhile.

I purchased a 6 in ball and a 10 inch ball in the past. These were perfectly and completely rounded with no gaps in the seem and no gashes. And I am still extremely happy with the 6 and 10 inch balls but I am very disappointed that I was sent this 8 inch ball I just purchased that I received today it is defective with gaps in the seem and it is unfinished. It looks as though the two parts of the ball were glued or welded together very unprofessionally with indents and deep visible gaps and adding to this there is a gash on the side. This ball is not cheap and I am so disappointed that I paid for a ball that is defective which I don't believe will last very long as the seems appear as though would split due to quality control not checking this item and ensure I received a perfectly finished 8 inch ball that is not defective. I know this is not how these ball should look because as I said above I purchased a 6 inch and 10 inch ball last year and the year before and they were perfectly rounded with no gashes or indented seems and the both have lasted until now with no issues and they are still going strong but this 8 in. ball that I just received is lopsided with a gapped rim half way around the ball where the other half is perfect. This 8 inch ball is defective. I'm so upset because my dog, Snookums, has been waiting for his ball and was so excited to receive it only to find that the ball is not perfect like the first ball I bought but rather put together incorrectly and probably will not last due to this. I'm so upset. PLEASE HELP to resolve this issue fast so my dog can be happy again. It's terrible to pay so much for a ball only to find you were sent a defective item. Quality control should have checked this item before sending it. I'm so disappointed.To update, I requested a return explaining the above. The return process is simple. I was sent another 8 in. ball a couple of days later. The replacement is also not perfect also with an unfinished rim/seem half way around, but it is a lot better than the one am now supposed to return. No one apologized for the first unfinished ball and no one reached out to me. The process of returning for a replacement is all automated via bots with no real people getting back to you and as it appears the replacement item is also not checked by quality control because it was not perfect too, but it is much better and my dog will not scratch his face as much while chasing it like the first 8 in ball scratched his face. I suppose to return the defective ball by the 28th or I will be charged for the replacement. I have decided to throw away the defective ball which I have photographed to show it's defects because I'm afraid if I return this defective ball it will just go back into circulation via automation and someone else's dog will be hurt from it which I don't want to take responsibility for. I would feel terrible if I sent it back and they just tried to sell it again to some unsuspecting customer so I will bite the bullet and I will cover the extra charge to save the same aggravation someone else would have to experience. As I said above I have purchased a 6 and 10 in h ball in the past and they are perfectly rounded with perfectly finished rims/seems that are smooth and not dangerous for my dogs and these are still going strong so in conclusion there is probably an issue with their 8 inch balls. End of the day I'm stuck with a scrap 8 inch ball which I will throw away and a half way decent 8 inch ball which I have now given to Snookums, my beloved pooch all now costing me $36 to be stuck with a second ball that's better but still not perfect.
