The media could not be loaded.  Do you have a dog that fetches? A dog that loves chasing balls? A dog that just likes to chew for the sake of chewing? Good me too. She’s a 6 pound poodle (sigh). Being that she’s so tiny it’s hard to find balls that will A. fit in her mouth B. be light enough for her to fetch with at the park for an hour and C. stand up to her insatiable need to grind her teeth on everything. These balls do all this and more! Other pros imho include: no squeaker (hallelujah!) and they’re sealed off which means they can’t get water logged with slobber and they float in water (shallow water at least). Finally I think the price is more than fair for two balls of this quality. All in all just a really good basic to purchase if you have a dog. The video above is about 5 minutes after I opened the amazon box... buy the dang balls!

I have 2 dogs a pit/beagle mix and a full blood beagle. They both love balls! They both can tear up a tennis ball in about 30 seconds. They put them in their mouths and chew - then pull off the hairy stuff, then eat the plastic. Ugh... I had tried so many different types of balls that didn't work. BUT this does .. the Medium Ultra Ball is their favorite although I have bought some of the odd shaped ones too which they play with.. My bigger dog loves to play fetch so we use the launcher and she will play for hours if I could hold out that long. I wish the smaller launcher would work better with these balls it works great with a tennis ball but these don't slide out easily so I have to just barely fit them in then I can toss them across the yard. Otherwise they either don't come out or end up only a foot away from me. Anyway, I am so happy with them and am buying more. My dogs lose them easily (they roll under furniture and I can't find them). Getting two in a package helps because I can give each dog their own not as much jealousy this way.

If you can't find any toys that your dog won't destroy. This is the ball for you! I've working in this industry for over a decade and was in charge of merchandising a new local shop in my town. These were a must have and were always flying off the shelves. I recently left this managing position and I needed more Ultra Balls (I like to have 2 in the house and 2 for playing outside) and I found this particular price to be about what I was ordering wholesale! What a steal!I occasionally have to replace these not because they get destroyed, but because my dogs somehow lose them in our fairly forested backyard (or an overzealous husband chucks them over the fence.) If you've got a destructive dog like my pitbull, then I'm sure you know it's not IF your dog will destroy a toy, it's how long it takes them that influences your purchasing decisions. So how long have these lasted in my house? I don't know, I'll let you know when she actually destroys it!For those who are curious if this will fit in your chuckit launcher, the medium ball size fits perfectly in the classic. These can be used for a game of fetch, but I have found the dogs seem to like simply chewing on them indoors like a piece of bubblegum or like a mouth stress ball. Works for my heavy chewer, but soft enough for my senior shiba. One of my cats is also super into playing soccer with them too. It's a riot to watch.If you're looking for an awesome new toy for your dog, get this ball; and if you don't have the ChuckIt! yet, I totally recommend those too.

I have several of these. My GoldenDoodle is part Golden Retriever. Somewhere along the line the RETRIEVER part has gone missing. She will run and get it, but does not want to bring it back. We go on 10 minute walks several times a day, but she doesn't bring it back. She only drops it when she sees a squirrel. I have about half a dozen of these balls around the neighborhood.Because I don't allow these to come into the house once used outside, the bright coloring fads about a week into being left outside. With the fad comes the easy part of me not seeing when and where she drops. They are very thick rubber and she is a power chewer. She has not punctured one yet. I did drive over one and popped it. It didn't bounce well afterward, but still held its shape. I squeezed the ball and saw the hole and filled it with superglue gel. Once it dried, it bounces as well as before.So, in summary, they last a long time, but you have to have the retriever retrieve, which mine does not.

These Chewy Ultra balls are hands-down our favorites for our active 3 year old Labrador Retriever. They're lightweight enough where if we bounce them hard on our concrete patio for the dog that he won't get hurt if it hits him by accident. They have enough heft to throw them far with a ball launcher too. The medium size ball fits great in the Chewy ball launcher. The rubbery surface is easy to grip, and our dog likes the mouth-feel. He likes to carry his Ultra balls around the house in his mouth, and he's not even come close to damaging one when he chews. They float great, which is essential for our water retrieve-loving lab, and the bright orange and blue colors make them easy to see when they go into tall grass, etc. They're super-easy to clean, unlike fuzzy tennis balls. The only thing that makes them not perfect is that they can fade; we've had a couple lose color when they floated in the pool for too long, or the dog hid one and it was out in the weather for a week or two. That's definitely not a big deal, especially if you're aware of the fading potential. The ball's other qualities still make it our favorite with no close second.

My gal is 80 pounds of german shep/black lab. She's 2 and still acts like a puppy. If we don't play hardcore chuck-it throws 2-3 times a day, she is too much to handle. Literally she will play and run as far as we can throw these for 45 minutes straight. These balls are amazing. They bounce well and they hold up to her chewing them 24/7 like gum. Even sleeps with them. She has yet to chew them up. Mainly we loose them over a fence or in bushes, so every few months I buy 8 or so. They are half the price on Amazon compared to local stores. My girl will go out of her way to only chew the solid orange ones. They must taste better. Then the orange and blue, then the solid blue and glow in the dark are last. I don't see what the difference is, but she knows.

Arrived on time, well packaged, and exactly as described! Very happy with my purchase!I love that the orange color is easy to spot since balls are often lost in the yard! Aggressive chewers will eventually pop the seam of the ball open, but it definitely outlasted any tennis ball we've ever tried! Even better, the rubber texture is much safer for teeth! Regrettably, not many people know about how tennis ball's fabric material can be erosive and wear down teeth. We learned about this unfortunately, the hard way. But with the chuckit balls, our dog can still enjoy his favorite toy without further harming his teeth!!

I didn’t know how much my Maltese girls would like a ball without a squeaker but these Chuckit Ultra Balls became an instant favorite with them.I got the 2.5 inch two pack and they both immediately began games of fetch with me. The design and size of the balls make it easy for them to pick up and carry back. The bounce is something that entices them to try to jump and capture it in the air. It’s a worthwhile addition to their toy box.

My 2 year old English Golden can tear through any toy, ball, or tire in record time. I bought her a huge ball made for horses, it was garbage within seconds, not minutes, but seconds. Kongs, Jolly Balls, Extreme Chewer toys last less then 5 minutes and let's not forget about the $50 bone that had to get thrown away before I had the chance to throw the box it came in away.But for less than $10.00 my young Golden girl has met her match. This ball is FANTASTIC!!! She plays with it constantly. She carries this ball around everywhere, chomps on it and no matter how much punishment she gives this ball it remains like brand new even after 6 weeks. I bought the extra large ball for her...she weighs 65 lbs.However the extra large ball is too big for my 14 year old (American) Golden even though he is just about the same weight (62 pounds) and size of my English Golden. I'm not sure why but it might be because they have different facial features but for whatever reason he can't grab the extra large ball in his mouth comfortably so he will only play fetch with the large size of this FABULOUS ball.I am now going to buy some small balls for my 2 Chihuahuas and the extra extra large ball for my Great Pyrenees. ( Thank goodness I only have one chewer in the family but with this ball it really wouldn't really matter anyway.)Have I mentioned how much I LOVE this company for finally doing what noone else could? Well...I love them for making a ball that my Destroyer can't destroy!!!I hope this review helps you.

I had been needing to replace the smaller Chuckit ultra balls that our dogs had lost or outgrown and got a great deal on these at like $4 (paid $11+ last time) These are pretty close to tennis ball sized and are perfect for our 2yo 60# herding mix who when given a brand new tennis ball will have it broken in half in less than ten min. She happily wanders around the house flattening the Chuckit ball in her mouth for hours with no damage to her or the ball. Our other dog who only likes tennis balls is very happy that his sister now leaves his toys alone. The size is perfect to keep her from choking on the ball sadly an issue we had with the smaller 1” balls.

My dog loves these, and as a bonus she can't eat them! She pretty much destroys tennis balls and any other soft ball within seconds.She often throws it in the lake where they always float and likes to carry it around and squeeze it when we aren't throwing it for her. This is the cheapest place I have found to purchase this type of ball and by far the best product.We get the 3inch size for our German Shepherd, Koda, who is about 45lbs and 5 months old in the attached photos. My parents dog is a fully grown German Shepherd and she uses the 3inch size as well and loves them.UPDATE (03/07/18): We still love these! We still get the 3inch size but have purchased the size up which as worked wonderfully as well though she can't squish/chew on them as much as she likes since they are so big. We lost one ball in the lake which we found floating a few months later! It was a little sun discolored but other than that it still held up fine! We have multiple balls and she hasn't been able to destroy one yet. She is now a little over a year old and approx. 75lbs.

My fetch-obsessed canine loves these. XL is the perfect size for my 90-lb German Shepherd (smaller sizes seemed like potential choking hazards). They're resilient, but not impervious. My guy likes to chew them like bubble gum and he does eventually puncture them. Given the constant use they get, I think they last an acceptable time and a smaller or less ambitious chewer might never bust one. I should add that when they do start to crack, I've never had one break into small pieces so, again, no choking hazard. My parents have a toy-eating German Shorthair Pointer and he's never managed to gnaw off or ingest pieces of this ball (but he did figure out how to get two in his mouth...quite a feat and proof of his love for them).The launcher seals the deal. My hands are clean. My boy gets a better workout. Launcher is also great for kids if you have a dog that sometimes reconsiders his "drop it" and will pounce to reclaim his ball. The launcher ensures that little hands are never at risk.If you have a heavy chewy, try to get your hands on the elusive light blue version with a hole on each side. They look like to glow in the dark version. While the glow in the dark ones will crack around the holes, the light blue ones seem impervious. I've been lucky enough to run across them in TJ Maxx/Marshall's and would love to see them sold on Amazon! All 3 versions fit the same launcher, which is a huge plus.

This is hands down the best dog toy I have ever purchased. It is well worth the price, hell, I would pay double! I have two Labrador Retrievers both under 2 years of age. I've tried so many different toys for them and they always go right through them - they don't last worth anything. These guys could chew through a jumbo jet. I even tried a toy made from a TIRE that the woman at the pet store guaranteed they couldn't chew up -- 15 minutes and I had to take it away because there were chunks of tire all over my living room. This ball... This chuck it ball... I bought one for each of them for Christmas on a lightning deal because I thought "Heck, it's a good deal I'll try it" and I am proud to say they are still standing. They look like the day we took them out of the package. These two dogs play with these balls EVERY. SINGLE. DAY -- for hours and hours. My male likes to just sit and chew it in his mouth like a wad of gum. You can hear it squish in his teeth, I still can't believe it's retaining it's shape. The only disappointment I had with these was they don't fit in the chuck it that I have, but that was only because I didn't know what size to get. Large is a perfect size for my labs though. I'd like to say I'd buy these over and over again, but at the rate these are lasting us I don't think I will need to.EDIT 4/14/16: I'm sad to report that one of the original Chuckit! balls finally met it's fate, and the other... well, we don't know where it bounced off to... But, I'm happy to report these balls had an AMAZING run with my dogs, even surviving being dropped out the car window at 55mph by one slobbery lab. Don't worry, mommy turned around and drove back and forth until she finally found it and returned it to the slobbery mouth... Dad bought new balls at the store one day, but he got the medium size this time so they would fit in our Chuckit! thrower... I don't think they liked the medium size as much as the large, and the medium lasted no where near as long as the large before there was a hole in it. And the second one was dropped out the car window again and this time mom didn't see it... So, once again -- one destroyed, one lost. But again, I will purchase these over and over because my dogs absolutely love them. I will probably continue with the large size from now on, as it's best for my dogs.

Well, this is the ONLY toy that our dog LOVES. The ChuckIt Ultra is her obsession. She has them strategically hidden around the house for quick/easy access, she follows us around with one, she sometimes even brings one to bed with her. Squeaky toys are ... well ... FINE in a pinch, but really, nothing in her world compares with this ball. She is a 50lb Springer Spaniel and has only managed to "crack" one of these balls in 2+ years, and she chews on them almost like a pacifier (she'll just sit there and chomp chomp chomp on it). She prefers the medium size, but we have a large size Ultra and she enjoys that too.They are easy to throw (with or without the ChuckIt stick), they bounce great, they FLOAT, they are super easy to wash off (that alone is worth the 5 stars for anyone out there who has tried to wash off a tennis ball) and they are really durable.
