I have a cocker spaniel, is this ball a good one for him or should i get the small one?

This size (medium) is approximately the same size as a tennis ball. I'm thinking that with a spaniel, it might run a little big. The smaller one is larger than a golf ball, so that might be a more appropriate size. But, If he/she like playing with tennis balls...

That should be fine. My other dog who plays catch with it is a schnauser mix. He plays with it the hardest. He weighs about 40 pounds.

I would get the small one. The larger one is the same size as a regular tennis ball. It all depends on what size ball your dog is used to. My dog is a doberman and the tennis ball size is perfect for him. These balls are nice because they don't hold moisture or get as muddy as a furry tennis ball.

I believe so. My 10 lb. pup can carry one around, and my 87lb Chesapeake likes it. Although, he likes a soccer ball also :-)

If your cocker spaniel likes the size of tennis balls, then the medium size is the right size.

I have a beagle and he loves it, so your cocker spaniel would probably be able to handle it.

Yes, I believe it would be a good size. It's about the same as a tennis ball. Any smaller and I would worry about choking.

Of course it depends on the breed. However, the small would be good for most puppies. However, if your specific dog gets big enough that he might choke on it, then it's time to discard and get a bigger one.

I bought the 8-inch for our 50lb dog. It's about the size of a soccer ball, so it's perfect for kicking. My old roommate also had a 30lb Lhasapoo, and I bought her the 8-inch ball, too. It was her absolute favorite toy. Our bigger dog hasn't done much damage to it yet, but she only plays with it outside. My roommate's dog chewed the handle off in about a week or two, but it rolls better without the handle, so it was probably a good thing.

I use the size that is the size of a tennis ball. I have 3 Border Collies & it works great with them. If the ball was bigger they would have no interest. it is a great treat ball & a play ball. have fun.

My dog is a small dog (10#) and has not destroyed this toy yet and she has destroyed other plush toys in the past. It seems well constructed and has given her many, many hours of fun! Since it's not terribly expensive, I think it's worth a try - but for sure go for the jumbo size. I have the large for my small dog, but I think the large for a bigger dog could become a choking hazard.

I am not sure but i bought the large for my aussie and i think it would have been a good size for the bostin terriers i used to have... great ball.. my dog loved it..unfortunately he has lost it somewhere in this house...lol

Perhaps there are other versions available from Amazon. This one is small and only suitable for small dogs. I returned it, because I was concerned my dog would choke on it -- and because it would be destroyed in minutes, if not seconds. Smaller than a tennis ball, I think.

We got the 10 inch ball for our 50 pound dog. There are some scratch marks around the recessed plug but it is still in great shape. This ball I think would be a good size, it is to big to fit into his mouth.

I have a 14 lb boston terrier, he likes it but it is a little big for him. He loves the gounut ball and it's just right for him! I have say they are virtually impossible to destruct!

Shawn, in May of this year I purchased the "Medium" Kong Squiggle for my 8 month old Chihuahua(who is rather big for a Chihuahua-knee high-12lbs.) and if I remember(this is your first hint at the product quality) correctly the size of the ball was equivalent to one of those LARGE white jawbreakers!! Are you familiar with what I am talking about?? Basically it was smaller than a baseball but bigger than a golf ball and my Chihuahua Puppy had ripped a small hole in it within the first 2 days!! NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!! I hope this has helped!! Good Luck!!! jerinrick4ever@yahoo.com

Get the larger one. The small one now has a hole through it and it does not bounce as well and my dog does not like it. Larger one does not work for a small dog.

No, it would not be too small for your dog. 150lb. Giant Schnauzer an 50lb Welsh Terrier both use this toy without any issues. There are smaller parts but you should supervise and play with your dog when using the more advanced parts of the game/puzzle.

I bought the small one for my lab pup and it was perfect size, although I belibe there is one even smaller than the "small" sized one. Try the medium sized one, cause it won't matter so much the size as even if it is too big your dog will still be able to work on getting the treats out and can still chew on different ends of it.

I guess it all depends upon how small the dog is. This Diamond Plate Orbee ball is 3.25" diameter which considerably larger than a standard tennis ball. It is about half way between a baseball and a softball. It fits in a size large ChuckIt! ball launcher. My 75lbs German shepherd likes it a lot! But that is not to say a much small dog would not find this ball fun. My best guess is that any dog over 20lbs and under 100lbs would find this ball to be a good size.

Buy a horse toy called Jolly Ball, they are great. Our giant breed puppy loves it.

This ball is too small for a large dog. You would have to contact the manufacturer about breakage questions. I would get something else for a large pet.

the ball holds it's shape but because it is hollow I found it to be flimsy. I would highly recommend the 8 inch jolly on a rope. although my dog went through the rope in about 15 seconds, the ball has lasted a year and believe me my dog has had his way with it!
