The Gripper Ball

Our German Shepherd loves these balls best of all balls. We get her one large and one medium. They are soft enough for her to chew on, but very durable. Easy for us to grip and throw!

The material is not a consistent thickness throughout, leaving weak spots that are easily chewed through. I was really impressed that both my dogs (a boxer and a boxer-pit mix) loved the toy so much, and thus, really disappointed when I had to trash it after just 3 days (couple hours total) of supervised play. I don't advise letting your pup(s) play with this toy unsupervised considering how quickly it can be chewed and eaten once a small hole has been made.

I bought this ball (6 inch one) for my border collie/cattledog mix for Christmas in 2009. It is her favorite toy! So durable! I am now looking for a bigger one for the yard. Fantastic product!

Our German Shepherd LOVES this ball. In fact, she has two of them (she's a ball hog) She loves the noise it makes when she bites it and the air goes out, she loves to hold the handle and shake it. This ball is soft enough so she can really chew on it and it reinflates, but tough enough to hold up for a while. She goes through about one a year, and we usually keep a spare. We've tried every ball out there, and this was chosen by our dog.

I have a black lab "buddy" and he is crazy for this ball!! He would run after it all day long if you let him. I would give this toy a 5 star rating. Thank you

I have had two of these balls. The first was a small ball and he loved it. I got another smaller dog and it did not last long with her. The second ball I got was a large ball and it lasted for over 6 years. There are very few toys that can withstand my smaller dog and give so much joy to my other dog. I am only buying one now because the old one can not be found. If your dog chewed up this toy, try a larger size. I do not think you will be disapointed!!!

I thought that this would be a great toy. My 11 month old Norwegian Elkhound thought that it was good enough to eat...and he did...He threw up rubber ball and he pooped out rubber ball for three days. If your dog is a vigorous chewer DO NOT PURCHASE THIS BALL!!

My 8 month old bulldog ate right through the handle in less that 24 hours. The pieces he chewed off were jagged and I still don't know if he will pass any, cross our fingers he doesn't...ouch. I took a box cutter and cut off what was left of the handle and know he just has a ball with 2 big holes. Would not recommend for a dog with a strong jaw.

I got this for my Blue Heeler puppy and she plays with it non stop, she can actually jump into our waterbed with it and she tosses it up in the air, she empties all of the air from the ball and tosses it also. She has found so many ways to play with this that I have to put it away at night so that we can sleep in peace. We've had this toy for over 6 months and even after tug a war, it is holding up as if it were new. I highly recommend it. As we go through toys like you can't believe and this is one of three that we have left of supposedly non-destructable toys.

I have an energetic pit-bull mix whose teeth can get through absolutely anything. However, this ball is great for her. She can't rest knowing it's not being played with.

My Sheltie loves this ball. We got him the 4.5 Inch ball, which was the perfect size for him. Great product.

She has had about three of these they last the longest and she loves to grab the handle and shake it and carry it around. Zoe is almost 2 years old and would rather play with this toy than have treats.

Dogs come to me for training & boarding. This ball is great! It squeaks, stands up to chewing well, and the dogs play with each other or people with this ball. I have all three sizes and most dogs prefer the smallest one, but the medium size is prefered by some of the more hyper dogs that visit. It is easy to wash off and the handle is great for throwing.
