Jolly PetsRomp-n-Roll Rope and Ball Dog Toy, 8 Inches/Large, Blue, Model:608 BL

I'm so impressed with this dog toy! I have a pittie and he destroys all his toys in a matter of minutes. This toy has lasted longer than any of the others. He carries it around in his mouth - by that I mean he puts the ball in his mouth and walks around with it. The ball is soft enough to chew and strong enough to withstand a pit bull's jaw. The rope has also stood up to his chewing. I'm going to buy another one soon, but not because he destroyed the first one; just because it's such a good toy.

We have a 50lb Shar-Pei mix and a 65lb Catahoula mix, both are in love with this ball! I got the 8" and was bigger than I thought it would be, which is perfectly fine (it's about the size of a soccer ball) and because of the size I know the ball will last for a very long time, as they won't be able to fit it in their mouths to chew it up.The only problem I have is the rope. They were given the ball yesterday right after it was delivered and after an hour or so of play our Shar-Pei (who is a master chewer) was starting to cut through the rope. Because of his chewing, most toys (including this one) are outside only (he not only chews up the toys, but will also eat them if given the chance) I thought the rope would hold up longer being that it is limited play outside, but alas, the rope will be sawed through by the end of the week I'm sure. I knotted the rope against the ball to try and make it last a bit longer, (they won't want anything to do with it if they can't pick it up) As the toy isn't cheep, and they love it so much, I'm hoping I can find the rope they use for dog toys so I can just replace it.Over all it's a big hit! However because of the rope issue we are going to get the jolly ball with the handle next time and see how they like that one..............................................................................................................................UPDATE - 2 Months After Purchase:OK so we have had the Jolly for about 2 months now and I thought I'd do an update.The rope has actually held up FAR better than I had expected it to. I have not had to replace the rope, and it is still mostly intact. Two months of tug has it very beat up tho. The ball itself still looks almost new. We were so extremely pleased with this toy we just got a second one. I knotted the rope one the new one like it did with the first, so that there is a knot tight against each side of the ball) as I think that really is helping to extend the life of the rope some.One word of advise tho (we learned the hard way) if you live down south like we do, and have fire ants...DO NOT leave this toy in the yard over night!!! Luckily, I had spotted it before the dogs went to play that morning, in one night a bunch of fire ants had nested inside the ball. It took about 3 days of submerging the ball in water to flush them all out (I think they were gone after 2 days but I wanted to be positive every last one was out before they played with it again).

Our 3 heavy chewers love this. Our 100lb Shephard is obsessed with collapsing it over and over with his jaws. It is extermely resilient and durable. Our 50lb dogs can handle it somewhat, probably would be too big for a smaller dog. They love to chase it and wrestle over it. Great value.

This is a split review as the ball is very durable but the rope not so much. Ok so our 5 month old dumped dog, Conan the Destroyer, is a really aggressive chewer so I didn't expect it to last too long. The rope was detached from the ball in just a few days but the ball is still in great shape. Would have given it 3.5 stars if I could have. To be fair, the ropes on his other toys didn't survive either although they did last a few days longer.

The rope didn’t last long with my Rottie but the ball lasted and he loves this ball a lot.

My dogs destroy everything, and I mean everything! I’ve tried super chewer toys and they’re not interested in the really dense plastic toys but they love this thing. The rope in the middle makes it perfect for tug and no matter how many times they chew on it it doesn’t puncture or loose its shape. We’ve had one for months now and I’ve just had to retie the rope a few times.

Ok, not indestructible. But nearly. Stands up to many hours of being hurled into a horse pasture and fought over aggressively by two very determined dogs. The rope allows them to carry without biting the ball itself, increasing longevity. Weatherproof as well.

Great Dane has not been able to destroy ball but quickly removed rope.

I always buy these for my dogs they love them likes to spin around and drag them around !

My boy LOVES this toy! Got it for him as a Christmas gift and it has held up so far. He swings it, rolls it and plays fetch and tug with it. Great for him to play alone or with us. He’s a tough chewer so we bring him in when he starts chewing the rope but the ball has held up surprisingly well as he can actually fit it in his jaws. It’s been almost a month and he still plays with it daily:) Definitely not for inside-he’d break everything throwing it around lol.

Very durable

My German Shepherd loves this toy! She can grab it by the rope or the ball, and shake it around, chew on it, and play tug of war with her Standard Poodle brother.

My dog absolutely adores this toy! It is one of his favourite toys to play with! It is very durable and he has been playing with it very rough and still no pieces have ever come out! I would totally recommend this toy for any dog!
