Jolly balls....good for horses and small dogs...not for large breeds

Tug-n-Toss Jolly Ball
Jolly balls are an all around good idea. They're relatively big, come with this cute handle your dog can carry it around with and are hollow so that if your dog bites through it, it wont deflate...genius right?! Not so much! Jolly balls are ideal for small to medium sized dogs; even for large dogs, if fido isn't keen on chewing. However, for dogs like mine that love the challenge of chewing through a new toy, this one just doesn't cut it.

Specifically we bought the 10" Tug-n-Toss ball, thinking that the big size would keep our dogs from chewing through it. Wrong! Within the week the dogs had made holes in it, and had chewed pieces off that nifty handle I previously thought was so cute. Despite repeated attempts to teach our dogs that this was not a toy to chew, not a month went by before Dublin had torn the poor Jolly ball to pieces.

Conclusion: Not pitbull friendly. I would even reconsider this toy if your dog is a chewing enthusiast. The hollow inside and cute handle, makes this an overall weak toy, that keeps this toy from lasting. Definitely a 5 on the durability scale.

Love AP & the Dublinator
