Suits these stages
- Who it’s for
- The adolescent who needs to run, not chew — a punctureproof ball with a handle for tug, fetch and solo garden play.
- Who should skip it
- Your dog is a determined chewer. Jolly Pets do not recommend it for aggressive chewers, and owners report handles being ripped off.
The verdict
The honest inclusion in a chew-toy list: sometimes the answer to destructive chewing is not a better chew but a tired dog. This is an eight-inch polyethylene ball with an integrated handle, sized by the maker for dogs 20 to 60 pounds, and the material is designed to keep working after it has been punctured rather than deflating. It floats, so it works at a lake. The handle is what makes it versatile — a dog can carry it, you can play tug with it, and it can be flung much further than a plain ball. Jolly Pets do not pitch it at aggressive chewers, and owners back that up with reports of handles being torn off. Buy it for the physical outlet, not as a substitute for a proper chew, and put it away when the game is over.
Drawbacks
- Not intended for aggressive chewers — handles do get torn off
- Eight inches is too big for small dogs
