KongExtreme Ball - Durable Rubber Dog Toy for Power Chewers, Black - For Small Dogs

Ball is still going strong. no damage from teeth or ground throwing it 2 months after purchase. Dog ate the other Kong toy i bought so this one is tough!

Dope

I'm disappointed that some other reviewers have been disappointed about the Kong Extreme Ball. I have a staffie too and there is NO dog toy that is indestructible to him, if he takes a mind to destroy it - which, naturally provides him with a lot of enjoyment. So, once that indisputable fact is accepted, the Kong Extreme Balls are AS GOOD AS IT GETS. They are better (ie, longer-lasting) than everything else that we've tried. If you think they will last forever when your own power chewer gets to work, then yes you will be disappointed. However, a more reasonable approach can be happy that they will last maybe 2- 3 months. I believe this is excellent value and nothing more could be asked for. My dog gets to play with them only when we're playing chuck. When it's game over he has to give them up. This helps preserve them for the next game.

Mon chien adore jouer avec.L'inconvénient, c'est qu'il est arrivé à la détériorer. Le caoutchouc n'est pas assez solide et il avale les morceaux. Comme j'en ai achetée 2, j'ai pris une photo pour voir la différence.

We have had our Kong ball now for a few months and it is still completely intact. I bought 2 so that we had one for each lab to play with. My youngest has killed, ripped, destroyed every ball and toy bought for him and this is the only Ball that he has not destroyed!So happy and great value for money. They are heavy so not easy for everyone to throw but that doesn't bother me or my dogs they are happy that they can run, play and chew. They do bounce but a small mouth might struggle to lift them for very long. Staffs, Labs etc will love them!

If you have a dog, and especially a puppy, the mere thought of a Kong product provides instant relief. I’ve got several Kong products and they’ve not let me down yet.The Kong Treat Ball is made of their hardest rubber so has the greatest chance of standing up to the most playful of pup. There is hole through the centre into which you can stuff a treat or two. As with all Kong treat toys it’s advisable to use some kind of paste or soft food to help wedge the treat into the toy. I recommend soft cheese (cheap supermarket stuff is fine), peanut butter (essential to make sure it doesn’t contain Xylitol as it’s poisonous to dogs….Sun Pat and Skippy don’t use that so should be safe) or Kong’s own spray-on paste.Once you’ve given the dog their ball they’ll spend many enjoyable minutes fishing out their food from inside, and you can use it to encourage puppies to learn to fetch pretty well too.

Whilst it is indeed just a ball, it's one that my 8 month old pup has yet to even dent, 1 month in of use. He gets through most toys within 10 minutes, so for me it's worth paying extra for something that will last. There's a smallish hole through the middle of this ball so you could put some treats in, but I suspect they may get stuck.Only knocked one star off as this ball is super heavy! Sounds like a strange criticism, but if your dog likes to throw balls around when playing with them, it could easily do damage to anything nearby (and it sounds like bombs are dropping on the house if you've got laminate/wood flooring...)
