Jolly Pets Tug-n-Toss Heavy Duty Dog Toy Ball with Handle, 8 Inches/Large, Red (408 RD)

It's Great. Exactly what was discribed. I bought it for my 2 Great Danes, hoping they would play chase with it. Unfortunately, Atticus took one look at it, sniifed it and picked it up. Great I'm thinking, he likes it. He carried it to his bed and laid down with it. Then immediately chewed the handle off of it. I'm currently trying to figure out if it would be worth sewing a heavy canvas cover for it with a cloth handle. NOT the supplier or the manufacturor's fault. I should have known better.

The Dogs Love It And It’s Not Easy To Tear Apart

I have purchased Jolly balls for my dogs for a very long time. I had an 8" Jolly ball purchased in 2008 that stood up to Irish Wolfhounds from puppyhood through old age, a Boxer, a Coonhound, and a Lab/Shepherd mix. All the larger dogs are gone now but when we got a new, smaller breed puppy that enjoyed the same ball I thought I would get another as the old one was starting to break at the handle. And that's fine, it stood up to hard use for 13 years. So I bought a new 8" Jolly ball in July 2025 and it has already been destroyed by a 15 lb puppy. The Jollypets website suggests the 8" ball for large dogs in the 60-90 lb. range, and this Amazon listing says 20-60 lbs. Either way a 15 lb. dog should not be able to destroy it yet my Miniature Poodle tore the handle right off in less than 80 days. I don't know if they have changed the material they are made of or what, but the durability I expected from past experience was nowhere to be found and I am profoundly disappointed in the quality of the newer Jolly ball. If a 15 lb. puppy can destroy a ball advertised for 20-60 lb. dogs (never mind 60-90 lbs.) something is wrong. I feel like Jolly should either replace this or refund my money. Obviously I am outside their return window, cannot prove manufacturer defect, and don't expect anything, but this really leaves a bad taste in my mouth for Jolly products.

This is a great ball for herding breeds. This is a good size for a medium sized dog. Probably between 30 to 60 lbs. The largest size is better for larger dogs. My German shepherd is obsessed with these. They are good for kicking. They are very durable. My GSD tears through toys but this rubber lasts. We keep this toy outside. Of course after some time this "popped" but my dog loves it even more because she can carry it around easier that way. Highly suggest. Not really the best toy for playing tug though.

Pretty solid with only one issue, the handle. My Aussie-Doodle is an aggressive chewer and and take out even the most expensive and toughest toys. This one has held on for several months and still kicking, the only thing she was able to rip off was the handle. The ball is still intact and she still plays with it regularly.

This toy is not for any kind of power chewers. My dogs LOVE it, but chewed through the handle in about 5 minutes. It does bounce super well and it’s heavy enough, but if your dog can chew through anything this is not the toy for you.

My German shepherd loves to play with this toy. The material is super heavy duty and holding up to her strong bite. Ours is red rubbery material so is strong and easily found outside in the yard. She plays with it inside too but its a little big to be an inside toy. There's no squeakers in it. Very good playability, functional, and we love it. We bought it because Lucy likes to carry around bricks which is damaging her teeth. We got rid of all the bricks in the yard and she loves to carry and herd this ball around.

Love this ball! It lasts forever I have 2 German shepards that chew up the 10” and this one keeps its shape and the handle makes it great for fetch. They love it!

Çok güzel bir top, köpeğim çok begendi. Keşke yine stokta olsa

Da mein Hund jeden Ball zerlegt den er bekommt, er allerdings gerne Ball spielt habe ich diesen Ball ausprobiert. Am Anfang hat mich der Griff gestört, da ich eine glatten Ball wollte. Mittlerweile bin ich froh darüber, da mein Hund ihn am Griff sehr gut durch die Gegend tragen kann. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, das dieser Ball nicht mit Luft gefüllt ist. Er hält sich durch seine dicke Wand selbst stabil. Sies heißt allerdings nicht, dass er aus Plastik ist. Ich kann es icht sagen welches Material es ist aber es ist trotzdem so "weich" dass mein Hund seine Zähne darin versenken kann allerdings nichts vom Material heraus beißen kann. Würde ihn wieder kaufen.

Muy. Bien
