I had to return the Jolly Ball due to the dog shreding the plastic off and possibly ingesting it. Is this ball shred proof as well?

I have the large so my dog can't really bite it. There are a lot of scratches on it because she tries to bite it when it gets stuck in a corner. She loves the ball and will play with it until she gets tired out. I love it too, it helps to calm her down.

It seams to be shred proof. I've had it for a few weeks now. My dog loves it and can't bite into it.

The Varsity Ball is hard plastic & depending on the size of the ball you purchase, I do not think it would be possible for your dog to shred any of the plastic off. I bought the large Varsity Ball for my 60lb pitbull who is a strong, aggressive chewer and he's not been able to make any dents in this ball. It's just too big for them to get their mouths around it and the plastic is too hard. My dog loves it and would chase it forever if we'd let him!

They can not bite it or shred it however it is very hard and heavy. My dog got frustrated with it and now it just lays in the yard. I wasted $50

I have found that my Rottie can scratch the ball but the instructions advise you to use fine sand paper. To date I have not had to do that. I allow him to play for about 15 minutes under my supervision on the grass. This lessens the wear and tear on the ball. My Rottie and I love this product.

sorry for delay on your response. This ball is a strange toy the first one broke when it fell of my bed onto the hard wood floor and now the second one does work when my dog starts to chew on it or when you walk by it. You may have a dud return it and get a new one.

The ball has no hole so it rolls perfectly. It is like giving your dog a light bowling ball. It is very durable and my Rottie loves it. I allow him to play sometimes with it after he obedience trains as a reward. When he is exceptionally hyper I give him the ball to expel his energy before attempting to train. Treats are not necessary since the ball is the treat.

No! They will destroy it into a million pieces in several days or weeks. I recommend Goughnuts. A little more expensive but i have 2 extreme chewers(bith pits) and they have yet(after 3 weeks) to do ANY damage to the ball and the large doughnut. There isnt a single puncture on either toy after weeks of trying!

My dog outgrew the kong without destroying it, and she's quite a chewer. I took it out of her toy collection (she loves toys) because I was afraid she would swallow it whole. I found another one out in the yard recently that was sort of cracked and dried out from having been out there for a few months but overall they're really sturdy.

So far my aggressive chewer has not destroyed it. Like your dog, my dog shred almost any toy in minutes. I am very pleased and planned to get a couple of more. I don't feel like I am flushing money down the drain.

The ball is extremely durable. It can withstand bouncing off any surface no problem. We have played fetch with it about 10 times already and there isn't a single scuff on the ball. I won't leave my dog alone to chew on it though. I'm not sure that she would do any damage but, I don't want to take that chance.

The balls are made of a rubber, so there is no felt that can be chewed off. But depending on how much your dog chews, it can tear off chunks of rubber. My dog was a big chewer when she was younger (she is now 9) and I didn't notice any problems with the balls wearing on her teeth.

No. It's a solid rubber ball. Pretty beefy too. It is one of only two toys my German Shepherd has not been able to destroy.

Yes. I know because I saw it (encased in dangerous plastic wrap) after my dog tore the toy apart within five minutes. I returned it. I cannot recommend it.

Yes! I own a pitbull and she chews it for hours. She leaves little teeth marks on it but it's strong enough that she can't tear it apart. We have had it for 2 weeks now and still no damage to the ball

Yes, all the details for Planet Dog items are online. This is BY FAR the best ball/toys for powerful chewers. Mine tear apart everything including kongs and cant even get a bite off one of these things!

No it's hard plastic It might split in half though but it won't splinter. I would go with a large black kong ball if you are worried about it.

I am going to be honest with you, my dog would not stop chasing the ball till I stop him, doing so he rip the skin close to the bone off! Since they cant bite the ball, they are forced to use there legs and lean into the ball, doing so it will remove skin. By the way he still has problems with his leg today. Anyways I keep looking for something that wont hurt your dog.. Merry Christmas to all. Tom

we live on the beach and have not had a problem with snad or anything else sticking to this ball. It is extremely durable and has stood up to the "terrier teeth"A small delamination, less than a 1/4 " has developed at the hole, but has not increased in size. Overall a great product and though expensive, is worth the price if you have a pet who destroyd regular balls and toys

I think it is a very sturdy plastic and my dog did not chew it apart. Once he was done getting the kibble out of it he did not seem interested in it. It served it's purpose for dispensing food. My dog was good at tearing apart many doggie items, but this was not one of them. Each dog is unique.

I guess it depends on your dog and how rough they play. My dog doesn't chew up her toys, she plays with them. This ball is very durable for what it was designed for. Throwing, fetching and retrieving.
