Playology Squeaky Dog Toy | Durable Rubber Interactive Dog Ball | Cheddar Cheese Scented Fetch Ball for Medium Dogs | Floating Dog Toy Made from Non Toxic Materials

The media could not be loaded. No dog toy is indestructible if you have a hound or a pit. I happen to have a combination of both. This toy is the best $12 you could possibly spend for a dog that likes to “kill” their toys. The only reason I’m buying more is because I keep losing them.My dog is a rescue. She’s half beagle, a quarter boxer, and a quarter pit bull. She’s a tiny fire-cracker and I lover her to pieces. And she loves tennis balls to pieces. Literally.She adores tennis balls, squeaky toys, and food. She will absolutely try to surgically extract the squeaker from any toy she gets because she has a high prey-drive. These balls last usually at least a week before she manages to dislodge the squeaker or puncture the squeaking mechanism, but I still have one I got about six months ago that has the paint worn off and it still squeaks.This ball literally has everything. It squeaks, it bounces pretty high, it looks like a real tennis ball so my girl recognizes them as “toy” immediately, and they smell good.These balls in particular last forever. I got her a can of regular tennis balls and she had them in four pieces within 10 minutes or less, which is not healthy for her because she likes to eat the pieces. For this dog toy, I have never seen her crack it. She’s pushed the squeaker inside of exactly one of them so far, and it stayed inside the ball. Much safer than a toy that she can possibly ingest.The toys come in several colors, but it’s not just to make them look cute and colorful. The colors correspond to flavors, as each of the balls has a different scent. I’ve sniffed them and noticed there’s a mild food smell beneath the rubber scent. I can tell that dogs really do get a kick out of the “flavors.”I’ve taken these to the dog park and all the dogs want the Playology tennis ball, even if we have other generic balls flying around. My dog even has favorites. We have a muscle-head pit bull/staffy mix at the park who is a giant meat-ball. He got his hands on one of these and he wasn’t even able to break it open for at least 20 minutes of deliberate chewing.My girl’s favorite “flavor” for a long time was beef (the red one). The blue “peanut butter” flavor is the easiest one to find in stores. She was obsessed with a purple one for a while, apparently it was bacon flavor. I couldn’t find that one! I saw that Amazon has an orange “cheese” flavor and knew she’d love it. She’s obsessed.I really wanted to leave this review to convince people to invest in this product. Your dog will be so happy, and this company made something great.I’m worried because I went on their website yesterday and they had only one or two colors available. I don’t want them to stop making this amazing toy. I hope they don’t lose business because their product is TOO durable!! If they make more flavors, or maybe make some multi-dog (tug ropes?) or similar, I’ll definitely continue to be a customer. Please keep making these awesome tennis balls!

I ordered this ball because it’s a different flavor than I can get from the pet stores. It is a jumbo ball, so that I don’t have to worry my dog swallowing it. They are for tough chewers and last for a long time. They are well worth the price that we pay for them. It takes him months to chew it through. It is a bright yellow, so that it’s easy for him and us to see. He will spend literal hours occupied not paying attention to anything but his ball. It works very well, and comes in lots of flavors. We haven’t found one yet that he doesn’t like.

My dog loves these balls! They have a great squeaker and a really durable. She also seems to love the smell. She is a pitbull with a really strong. Pray Dr. so can tear apart a normal ball in two seconds flat. These balls have held up really well! Great toy!

He's tough on toys. The squeak can drive you crazy so be warned. He actually wore one squeaker out but never chewed through the ball itself. So, because we love him, we got him another one... Then 2 more in bigger size. He sleeps wth the green one after making sure his other toys are in his toy box. He's never been able to destroy the hard rubber Playology bone shaped toys either and believe me, he's tried! These are the best toys ever if your fur kid is a chewer. Well worth the money.

Our tough chewer pitbull loves this toy! It has lasted for weeks now. Most "tough" toys are destroyed within an hour, but this ball has outlasted them all. While the squeaker died quickly, the rubber ball has held up well. I'm buying more and recommend this to anyone looking for a good chew ball.

My German Shepherd likes squeaky balls. She has lots of them. Most are similar to a tennis ball. By the way, don’t give your dog an actual tennis ball. The outer material is made for grip for tennis. It’s abrasive and is not good for your dog’s teeth enamel at all.Anyway, for $14.99, I thought I’d give this one a try. The pictured packaging alone was an eye grabber. The picture you see on Amazon is a cardboard with item specific info on the card: flavor, size, what it is (squeaky ball). The pictured product also has a hole in the card to secure and present the item the card describes. Even two color coded red zip ties securing the ball in the card hole. Awesome presentation and frankly that’s what made me give this a shot. So, as far as the presented product/packaging on Amazon, great job! I even sent a link to a buddy and he bought one too.Well, I cannot speak for everyone, but what I received was what’s pictured with my review. A red ball in a clear bag, along with a card that describes the product line. Nothing specific to what I actually bought (like the slick item-specific packaging on Amazon. To find that, I had to read the condensed description on the Amazon specific bar code that is right on top of a different barcode. This kind of thing displeases me. I want what grabbed my attention on amazon. No, this was not a return. This is how they come.I figured with item specific info on the packaging, the company is putting some money into packaging that makes you feel like you bought something specific. Pictured one says all natural beef. The chicken one says chicken. Pictured one says the size. Heck, I’d of been happy to at least have the ball attached to a card that at least says it’s a squeaky ball. Nope.Cost cutting is not ok when you are selling a beef flavored, medium size squeaky ball for $14.99.What arrives is an advertisement for the whole line, nothing that says what it is, the flavor, the size (unless you try to make out the Amazon bar code desc). Just a ball in a bag with an advertisement to buy other stuff they make.Maybe you received what’s pictured. I texted my buddy and asked him what he received. The exact same thing I did.In my opinion, when one cuts corners on packaging, I have no doubt corners could have been cut with the product itself. The squeak isn’t as easy as kong ball squeaker. Takes effort. So if your dog likes to play by walking/running around while constantly biting and getting that pleasing squeak each time, that didn’t happen here. Yes, I know the tennis ball type squeakers are different. But this says it’s a squeaker ball. Not just a squeaker ball, but a flavored squeaker ball. Mine smelled like rubber. Where’s the beef?I threw it a few times. My dog chased it a bit, did her usual “what’s this” evaluation, bit into it a few times with her very strong jaws, only to have no squeak. God as my witness, she dropped it, looked at me with what I insist is a look of disappointment, and walked away. She then went to the big bin of a huge variety of squeaky balls and grabbed one. She then went upstairs, with a squeak every second or so as she went up.I went and picked this one up with slobber and all. To get this to squeak requires opposing thumbs. So I suppose it could be marketed as a hand strengthener that squeaks.Friends lab had zero interest as well. So, I’m gong to actually return a dog toy. This was a disappointment. If it had come carded the way it shows on Amazon, I would not be as frustrated. I won’t take a chance when corners are cut when it comes to my dog. Update the picture to what I received is my advice to the company. I have a feeling what I got wouldn’t sell as easily.Topping it off, I noticed something odd. It doesn’t squeak when squeezing it, only when it is released to go back to its regular shape. So it’s a reverse reward. Weird. All the squeaker balls we have make a noise both when squeezing and releasing.Sorry Olina (my pooch).
