Dog loves this toy. She plays with it every day. String has even held up to daily use.I just wish it was heavier to wear out the dog.Recommend to dogs that love to play.

The dog absolutely loves it. So far it's stood up to the rough playing.

My girl loves this because it’s got her favorite combination of ball and rope. I docked a star cuz it does not last long at all. She rips a big hole in it super fast and no, I do not let her chew on it. She fetches it and I go get it from her. Just from her biting it a few times while coming back to me, she will chew huge holes. I still love it though. So far it is the only ball she will play with besides her chuckit fetch ball.

She loves it!Pup is 6y, 65 lbs. she carries it by the rope or by the ball. Love toss and fetch, whips it around like she’s killing it. Has loads of fun. I know she’s punctured the ball, but it’s holding a round shape when she not biting it.Will probably get another for the cabin/summer.

Perfect chase toy for in the snow, doesn’t sink. My pups border collies, love to chase balls, but snow season the balls sink. This works great, they love herding this around the yard.

I bought this for my 1+ year old 40lb blue heeler/Australian cattle dog that has an infinite amount of energy. But after going through two Wiggle Wag Wobble balls I figured I should change it up. Typically I have to roll/toss the ball for her to chase it then I have to do it again. But since this is larger and also has her other favorite toy, a rope, she pushes and tosses and scoots this all around on her own which is great for giving my old back a break and keeping her entertained and active.The big(ish) con that I've seen other speak of is the rope coming undone rather quickly. I preemptively fixed that by squirting just enough gel super glue into the knots to keep them tied.This is now officially her toy of choice next to her Kong flyer and we couldn't be happier!ONE MONTH UPDATE:Second picture is after a little over a month of daily play with my 1+ year old Blue Heeler. She absolutely loves this toy and it's stood up to her power chewing ways. The rope though, will be needing replaced. Not a big deal, but compared to her stand-alone rope she plays with just as much, this rope is very poor quality. Still a worthwhile purchase though!

Good quality ball with added bonus of the rope. There's no way out staffy is getting through this ball!

It was difficult to score this dog toy. I have purchased a Jolly Ball before that had the apple treat attached, for my horse, at least 10 years ago. The ball is still outside and has not deteriorated. So, I saw this one and I and thought I'd get it for my pup. She is a large breed, very agressive chewer/player, four month old, who weighs 45-50#. The ball arrived on Thursday, December 2, 2021 I could tell by looking at it that the rope was likely to not last long as I'd hoped. We trimmed the ends down after her first time of have a whole bunch of fun with dragging the ball through the house at full speed, as she also loved chewing the rope ends. I found out she was ingesting some when I'd take her out to potty... We cut the rope down shorter and reknotted it (to no avail). Today is Thursday, December 9, 2021 and the rope is history. She had chewed a large piece off and had it half way down her throat yesterday evening. We tossed the rope in the garbage. She still enjoys the ball, but not as much w/o the rope. I also have a small terrier mix and she could have probably gone through it faster. The Jolly Ball itself is great Five Stars for non a non agressive chewer. Chew Proof: 5 for the Jolly Ball, minus 4 for the rope. Durability: Five stars for the Jolly Ball, but, Minus four stars for the rope. Longevity: Five stars for the Jolly Ball but minus two for the rope. The Jolly Ball I have had for so many years, and the simillar quality to the one for the dogs, I'm extremely happy with, but, the rope on this one was an utter failure. I'd seriously consider looking into another type of rope as I feel this one could be a choking hazard.

First toy that has lasted longer than 5 minutes with my Weimaraner. She loves balls but usually chews to bits within a short time. It's not a solid ball and large so she can't get her mouth around it. Loves playing fetch with this....in fact I can't get her into the house to eat since getting this toy just over a week ago! Great price too and super fast delivery.

We have a 50lb Shar-Pei mix and a 65lb Catahoula mix, both are in love with this ball! I got the 8" and was bigger than I thought it would be, which is perfectly fine (it's about the size of a soccer ball) and because of the size I know the ball will last for a very long time, as they won't be able to fit it in their mouths to chew it up.The only problem I have is the rope. They were given the ball yesterday right after it was delivered and after an hour or so of play our Shar-Pei (who is a master chewer) was starting to cut through the rope. Because of his chewing, most toys (including this one) are outside only (he not only chews up the toys, but will also eat them if given the chance) I thought the rope would hold up longer being that it is limited play outside, but alas, the rope will be sawed through by the end of the week I'm sure. I knotted the rope against the ball to try and make it last a bit longer, (they won't want anything to do with it if they can't pick it up) As the toy isn't cheep, and they love it so much, I'm hoping I can find the rope they use for dog toys so I can just replace it.Over all it's a big hit! However because of the rope issue we are going to get the jolly ball with the handle next time and see how they like that one..............................................................................................................................UPDATE - 2 Months After Purchase:OK so we have had the Jolly for about 2 months now and I thought I'd do an update.The rope has actually held up FAR better than I had expected it to. I have not had to replace the rope, and it is still mostly intact. Two months of tug has it very beat up tho. The ball itself still looks almost new. We were so extremely pleased with this toy we just got a second one. I knotted the rope one the new one like it did with the first, so that there is a knot tight against each side of the ball) as I think that really is helping to extend the life of the rope some.One word of advise tho (we learned the hard way) if you live down south like we do, and have fire ants...DO NOT leave this toy in the yard over night!!! Luckily, I had spotted it before the dogs went to play that morning, in one night a bunch of fire ants had nested inside the ball. It took about 3 days of submerging the ball in water to flush them all out (I think they were gone after 2 days but I wanted to be positive every last one was out before they played with it again).
