Is this treat suitable for a 100 lb Rottweiler, an agressive chewer, to say the least.

My 35 lb mixed breed chewed through the ball the very first time I gave it to him. The only way I can see it working is if you only allow your dog a very short time with it, which kind of defeats the purpose. The treats themselves were good - it took him longer to work through the treat than the ball!

So far, it is the only toy other than they hardened plastic nylabones that our 90+lb. Golden Retriever hasn't been able to destroy. I would say he is a very aggressive chewer but I don't know if he is a match for a 100 lb. Rottweiler. He sometimes can get the treats out of the ball and eats those in seconds. I haven't figured out how he is getting them out of there because I have a hard time getting them in (I have to use a butter knife to pull out on the lip of the ball to fully seat the treat). So other than he my lick one side of the treat until he gets an edge he can grab hold of and pull it out, it tends to last him for days and keeps him thoroughly occupied. The ball itself is a softer rubber, so an aggressive chewer might be able to rip it up. If you decide to try it, give it to your dog when you are around to watch and see if he just chews the rubber to bits, or just licks at the treat.

Definitely. I have a large pitbull that ate through one of those extreme kongs without hesitation but as longs as there is a treat in the end she was more fixated on the treat than destroying the toy itself. It took her a few hours to eat the treat ends as well

Not really, I have an 70 pound heavy chewing golden doodle and this treat ball only lasted 15 minutes...back to the drawing board. Nylabones are the only thing that lasts in our house, even the black Kong can't withstand my pup. :(

I would get the largest size holder. Our dog loves the liver flavor! The insert is very dense and the dog needs to really scrape to chew it off!

I got one for my 70# Labrador, a 2-yr-old, who has managed to destroy every toy we've gotten her, the only exception being the large Kong, until this ball. She quickly learned to remove the tasty inserts, so now we put biscuits inside the ball itself (it's made to do that) and she hasn't destroyed it yet, going on 6 months. PS for outside play, if you have some space, the large "Jolly Ball" made for horses holds up well, too.

I think that if your dog is a mellow one it would be fine, but if he is hyper for food, he might do some damage. You only use it under supervision.

I don't think so. I put half a milkbone treat in it and it occupies him for hours. He hasn't shown any signs of pain or anything, but it definitely keeps him out of mischief!

could be - we use it with larger dogs like pointers or Deutsch Drahthaar. They don´t love it in the beginning, trying to shake it off, but then get used to it. Would be worth trying

I have Bloodhounds. Most are over 100 lbs and they are fine. I think it has more to do with energy level and pain tolerance rather than size.

Our 110 pound rottweiler/retriever mix LOVES his ball. But someday s he plays so hard his legs get sore from batting it with his fore legs. So we must limit his play time.

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.

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.

You can adjust the number of chews you give your dog. I have a 23 lb puggle and I give him 2-3 if a storm is coming.

I think so. My rotti had no problems with it. Just make sure its sturdy. The ramp has no slip grip on it so he never had a problem with it. It was the best thing I ever bought. At first he was a little unsure about it. I had to coax him up with a treat until he got use to it.

I bought the small and on the dog kennel it just didn't stay put. Maybe with a different cage type it would work well. As far as chewing I can't imagine they could destroy it.

Absolutely! My 1 year old 50lb AmStaff/GSD has been loving this toy for a while.

This item is for the dog which weight is 30-100 pounds. So I am afraid it is not suitable for your dog.

Yes, My shepherd is an aggressive chewer and she hasn't hurt this toy at all in the few months we've had it! I highly recommend it!

it is not chew resistant! Our Yorkie chewed through one of the spindles and escaped. If a small Yorkie can do it, I'm sure any other dog could too.

Patsy, Yes it is! We have a HUGE Lab & he chews it constantly no rips or tears.. We also bought him the Kong Extreme Goodie Bone/ Large/Red, Kong Extreme Treat Ball/Large/Red & the Kong Extreme Dog Toy/Large/red. He cannot destroy them! I hope this helps! Good luck!
