Is this a large enough ball so my Rottweiler will not choke on it?

Yes the 3.25 (or 3.5) inch ball is large enough, but if your Rotti is a first class chewer, like our Doberman, you will need to "trim" the ball often to remove the loose pieces - we trim ours every night or so with a pair of pliers. It is being replaced today after a full year of very agressive chewing.

I wouldn't advise it. Go with a larger size if they make it. Due to the larger mouth of a rottie I would worry about choking. It is slightly larger than a tennis ball.

The ball is the size of a tennis ball if that helps. My Dobermans play with theirs and I have not had any problems with them trying to swallow the ball. Of course if one them wanted to try, they could get the ball stuck in their mouth. So it depends on how your dog handles this size of a ball. One of my boys is an agressive chewer and so far the ball has survived him.

NO.....we have an 85 lb. dog as soon as I saw this ball it went right in the trash. Cost more to return...I called ita loss but would be happy to pass on my opinion.

I can't picture a large enough dog who could play fetch with this very large ball.

I can't answer for sure, but I can say my 65 lb. Golden -1 yr. LOVES this ball. We had previously played with a slightly deflated soccer ball, which was taking a beating and getting gross to handle. This ball has a slightly textured surface that doesn't seem to get dog-spit slimy. The grooves are shaped like the curving lines on a tennis ball, and deep enough to make it easy enough for her to pick up and run with. She has figured out how to catch and retrieve this ball well, and I like it because it's light enough that I can punt it a long distance without killing my feet. It is holding up well to daily play.

Yes. One of my dogs (rottie/lab mix 65lbs) chewed on this like a tennis ball. It is the greatest ball of all time. I've had mine for several months. I'm surprised at the abuse this ball can take and it doesn't deflate. You and your dog will love this ball.

I really wouldn't know for sure. I guess it would depend on whether or not your dog has a habit of putting things in his mouth to choke on. They are the size of a plastic ring on the top of a milk jug. I would say no but just like kids....some animals you have to watch close. Hope this helps �

Well, the only problem with this ball is that it has two holes in it (top/bottom). This would allow a dog to get their teeth into it as leverage for tearing something up. I wouldn't recommend this ball for your dog, given her track record! :-/

The Kong ball is larger than the tennis ball, but my dog handles it okay. I just don't throw it to her, but she will play with it alone. Sometimes I will roll it for her to chase. She can fetch it fine. She is an 80 lb-16 month old German Shepard.

yes! as long as you give them other items to chew. I give my dog a rawhide or bone to chew to ease frustration. Use it as a fetch toy and they should respond. My dog loves it. Its a tough ball.

No. This ball is unsuitable for strong chewers. My parent's Weimeraner (73 to 75 lbs) broke the ball in a few minutes. Tugly kong toys are made of rubber & very durable. I put in peanut butter, kibble & some larger cookies into the tugly.

yes. it works great. you dog can carry it around and bite down on it and it comes right back to its shape. My rotties love this ball.

I don't think it would be safe for a dog. My Doberman sometimes steals the balls and crushes them in his mouth. Any medium to large dog could easily swallow and/or choke on them.

Yes it is bigger than the average chuckit ball. My lab goes through tennis balls like it was eating ham too.. Both my dogs are 75+lbs and they haven't been able to even rip part of it yet!!!! However they still like the tennis balls better even though they have this one.

I think the center of the ball is probably the size of a hard ball. They are soft enough that my terrier can pinch it to pick it up but it is mouth size for our lab who has forsaken those round throw things for this new favorite.

A large size should be fine for this weight. I bought an extra large for my Rottie, I was glad I had purchased this item for my dog instead of the terrible cone shaped thing. Things went smoothly and recovery from surgery went well.

yes it would ift a German Shepard the ball is so cute. I have a Yorkie Terrier and its a bit to big for him.
