Air Fetch Ball Dog Toy, Medium (2.5 Inch Diameter), for dogs 20-60 lbs, Pack of 2

Update: we're a month into this ball now and it is still in perfect condition and still the favorite inside the house ball. He couldn't find this ball today and insisted to me that the ball was inside the dryer. I picked up my boy and showed him the top of the dryer, his eyes went to all surfaces several times. He was not satisfied when I said, see it's not there. I had to empty the dryer to prove the ball was not inside the dryer. After crawling around with a flashlight to every corner of the laundry room, I gave up saying I didn't know where he put his ball. I went back to my chores while he sat in the laundry room doorway whining. After an hour, he gave up and fetched another ball, but he was elated when later I opened my closet door and there was the ball. Golly, my determined little dachshund adores this ball, and I'm here ordering another so I don't have to go through this "mom, I can't find my ball" disaster again. Original review: Good size ball for little dogs. My mini dachshund loves balls, day and night he wants a ball, and would play fetch 24 hours a day if I would cooperate. We use this as an inside ball, and it has a great bounce on the hard floor...he loves catching in mid air. This ball is 2.5" in diameter and is made in Vietnam of a sturdy, thick, but flexible rubber type material. While the size is good for little dogs, I do not recommend for a larger or even medium size dog. Neither does it seem durable enough for good sized chompers. My dachshund treasures his balls but this one he is gnawing on, something he hasn't done with any other balls, even soft, stuffed ones. The holes/empty space must encourage this. Therefore, this ball may not last long, but he has definitely added this ball to his treasures the past few days.

Dog can breathe more easily while running with these in her mouth. She is a hard chewer so they did crack in a couple of places.

Durable, 1 out of 4 of my dogs is obsessed. Perfect size, easy to recup.

My dogs love to play ball. Thy especially love the Chuckit balls. My puppies told me that they like the fact that are easy to hold in their mouth due to the way the balls are made. They said that they like the fact that they can breath through the ball while it is in their mouth. They can also bark through the ball and it sounds hilarious. We used tennis balls since they came to live with us and they always tore them up. For some reason they chew on these balls , but they don't try to tear the up. Don't know why. They aren't talking. We own this product in 3 different sizes. We found that the larger one doesn't get stuck under most of our furniture and I don't have to crawl around on the floor to retrieve it. 5 Stars

Great toy for dog who likes to dock dive. Not meant for unsupervised play (not durable) but listing says that

I have bought three of these balls. My very very aggressive chewer, 1-year-old miniature Australian Shepherd, has not been able to tear one of these up. This is the only toy that he has never been able to destroy.

Love that it has all the open space; makes me feel better knowing that it’s not the suffocation hazard like a tennis ball and my dog still likes to fetch it!

I like the concept - the weave pattern with open areas for air flow help the dog to breathe easier during retrieving exercises. And that could help keep the dog a little cooler in hot weather. In theory, a ball stuck in a dog's throat could allow the dog to breathe until the ball can be removed. But this is not meant to be a chew toy, and like most balls, it will not hold up if used as one. It is flexible, so a dog that chomps at the ball a few times on the way back from retrieving it will probably not hurt it....at least my soft-mouthed Lab has not hurt hers. The real problem with this ball is that it is so light that it is difficult to get any distance on the throw. About the best I can do is maybe 2/3 of the distance I get on the whistler balls - and it takes a lot of effort to get it to go that far. Forget throwing it into the wind! Although the ball does bounce, the bounce is not near as "good "as the whistler balls, either; so I prefer the whistler balls. On warmer days I will continue to use these under our shade trees, throwing the balls manually instead of using the launcher. Distance is not important on those days, and my girl can still get a good workout doing shorter sprints. I generally like Chuckit! products, but this one fell a little short (pun intended).

My dogs, all sizes, have used this product for years. The lattice-like structure makes it easy to carry as they have lots of gripping surfaces. However this is not for heavy chewers, it’s a ball, not a chew toy.

La balle sent terriblement fort une sorte de parfum très artificiel... J'espère que ça s'estompera, mais là, ça pue vraiment...

Great for fetch. The doggy I played with gets all excited playing fetch and runs back with the ball in her mouth panting, so having those holes throughout the ball is great. This is softer than other regular fetch balls, and so is not for chewing. Will not last if you let your dog chew on it.

Mijn hond is geen harde bijter, maar na 1 keer op de bal te bijten was hij al gescheurd...

Nunca me han gustado las pelotas por el peligro de asfixia que suponen para los perros a pesar del juego supervisado. Pero mis dotes de lanzamiento de juguetes brillan por su ausencia así que compramos un lanzador de pelotas para usar con este modelo que brindan algo de seguridad en caso de atragantamiento accidental permitiendo el flujo de aire en caso de quedar atorado en la garganta. Las usamos con el lanzador plegable de la misma marca. Se deforman un poco tipo ahuevado, a veces cuesta un poco pillarlas en el hueco, o se quedan atascadas al lanzarlas. No son para morder, están pensadas para lanzar y traer. Si tu perro tiende a morderlas no van a aguantar ya que son muy blanditas y finas.
