Chuckit! Strato Ball Dog Toy, Medium (2.5 Inch) 2 Pack

These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.

I have a Catahoula/Blue Heeler mix that's 5 years old and when she's playing with these it's like she's 6 months old again. PANIC however when we can't locate either, especially the blue for some reason, so I'm ordering two more.

These are high-quality long lasting balls for your pets to play catch with. These are my two dogs, favorite balls. I have an Australian Shepherd who loves the blue ball and a Border Collie who loves the orange ball. I have bought several of these sets and each time my two dogs always pick out their favorite color. I find this amazing and hilarious at the same time.’

My dog’s favorite all time ball! He can chew this ball all day and be so happy!

I have a ball dog. You could argue that I have 3 ball dogs…but Maggie is the ball dog, Harley is the ‘chase-Maggie-as-she-chases-the-ball’ dog, and Frankie is the ‘wait-for-Maggie-to-put-the-ball-down-and-steal-it-for-tug’ dog. The photo doesn’t show the ball but it shows the ‘presence’ of the ball…We have tried many balls over the years but Chuckits are our favorites. We’ve have many types but these silicon versions are favorites. They are easy to catch, light and have a nice bounce as well. They can be chewed up if left unattended but they are still very durable for the kind of ball they are.Recently, I found some silicon-style balls from Nerf on sale. Hard to beat name brand balls for $1.50 each so I purchased a set. Within a day, the one we were using was falling apart. Conversely, a Chuckit will last weeks or even months.If you have active dogs that like to play ball, give Chuckit a try.

My Dog loves these balls but does not like the ball that came with the launcher, more of a tennis ball feel. He will run for it but won't pick it up. THESE rubber bouncy balls he approves of lol.

My dog is five years old and doesn't really chew toys to death anymore. If you have a puppy or a heavy chewer, these will be gone in short order. They are not made to be tough. They are a sort of rubbery plastic that is hollow with a small finger sized hole in either end that caused the ball to whistle lightly when thrown with a ball tosser. If I use my hands to pick up the ball, this type is much preferred to a tennis ball because it doesn't collect slobbers and dirt as much. Being rubber, it bounces pretty good and the colors are easier to see in the yard or the woods. Cleaning the outside is easy, but the inside requires a bit more trouble if you care to clean the inside. The medium size is the same as a tennis ball so fits perfectly into the same brand ball tosser. They're good balls if 'Ole Yeller' isn't going to chew on them!

My pup loves these! She would play with them all day every day if she was able to. Quite possibly her favorite doggy toy.
