has anyone else found out the great beautiful joy that resembles a "chuck it" ball?! i was going through at least 3 decent tennis balls per week with my slobber chop, all she does it chew on them and pop them! so when i went to crufts some seller guy stopped me and was explaining about the chuck its. i thought he was full of dog poop, so i gave in and bought a 2 pack. he promised me that my dog wouldnt get through it, and guess what? she hasnt! its such a brilliant invention!! she can chew untill her hearts content, plus its bright orange so grassy fields and balls are no longer a problem, AND they float!! needless to say i am a massive fan. they arent cheap compared to tennis balls but they are SO worth it!
Are they kind of "foamy"? I usually buy the Air-Kong balls, they last rally well, biggest issue being my dodgy throwing the ball into random bushes and trees. They often do a 3-pack for a decent price as an Amazon add-on so free P&P if with something else >£20 Can get them in most pet shopes too but more expensive. Given up buying the cheap ones. Useless.
they are quite hard, just like a reinforced tennis ball but without the hairy outside, if that makes sense?!
They look good, I might try them. Charlie crunches up those cheap, glued in half, tennis balls in one chomp (since he is a ball bandit, I carry more expensive tennis balls with me to give to other owners....). I don't use any kind of fabric ball myself. For everyday, run off the mill stuff, I use nets of rubber balls that I buy at pets at home. They are fine, and he doesn't chomp them. Apart from when he comes back from the beach with OH....completely chomped rubber ball. Makes me wonder what exciting over threshold things the boys get up to when I'm not there...I don't ask, better not to know methinks. But then I have my 'specials' - really special balls Charlie goes mad for....
Yes, we've just started using them. I must say I'm very impressed. Dexter never destroyed his balls until another dog wrecked ours a couple of weeks ago. Dexter then decided it was a fun thing to do and went through about 8 in a week. These are 2 for £7.99 on Amazon and I also got their short chucker.
same, grace has had hers since this time last year, and not a mark on it! i get mine off ebay, think they are about the same price, id recommend them to anyone!
I use these at agility as we currently do it on a sand base and normal tennis balls would get covered in sand etc which isn't good for their teeth. We ran out of normal tennis balls 2 weeks ago and have been using these instead on everyday walks.......they are so much easier to find in the grass I think they are really good quality and worth the price. We've had 2 for over 5 months with not a mark on them and I just purchased 2 more as one fell in the duck pond a few days ago and when Harley went to retrieve it 2 swans came around the corner hissing so I got her out and we ended leaving the ball (she wasn't happy to leave it though - good job I had a spare!).
Are they safe, can the dogs swallow them? My Lab chomps through those cheap, stuck together, tennis balls.
We have the medium size, same as a tennis ball. I know they do small, large wasn't available but I'm not sure if it's because they don't do a large or the seller doesn't have them.
Yes, I was told the other day that a man knew of an Alsatian that suffocated on a tennis ball. It is a scary thought.
I have seen those but aren't they a little too hard? I found Loopies Jokko tennis ball covers on Amazon for £5.90. You just pop the ball inside the cover and it protects your dogs teeth from sandy, gritty tennis balls so you can still use them. Not sure how goot they are as I haven't tried them. Has anyone else?
I don't find them hard and they're not heavy. I'm really happy with these balls. I was using 'The Dogs Balls' before these, they are stronger than tennis balls but one only lasted a day.
