Where to get indestructible rubber ball?

Bomber · 01-07-2012, 09:35 PM

Bomber loves to play with balls the size of basketballs and volleyballs. The neighbors have thrown a couple in my yard and hes in heaven. They dont last long though. Ive gotten him one of those rubber holee-rollers and it lasted a little longer but he still killed it. All the indestructible ones I could find are a hard plastic, and he likes to play catch with it and I dont want a ball that will knock his teeth out.

I checked out the Jolly-balls also, they make them for horses and dogs, way too hard, he could never catch one without hurting himself.

Thanks.

Koda had crushed that jolly ball at 6 months old. I think you should try it.

Jollyballs have worn down Karlo's canines. My dogs can carry them around easily. I've bought the ones with the rope handle, the horse one with the rubber handle...they can crush them easily. THe harder the ball, the more wear and tear on the teeth. I have limited play to cuzballs, they are strong, the dog can't choke on them due to the feet and they bounce fine. Orbee ball is a second, but still prefer Cuz's(you can kill the squeaker if the dog doesn't first). Karlo absolutely loves his teaserball, bestball, eggeball but he injures himself out of his obsession.Tractor suppy has the best prices on jollyballs! or Elitek9 for the other big ones.

Definitely Jolly Ball. We have 3 around here, have had them for a couple of years. Lost of teeth holes but has never deflated. They are not any harder than a volleyball that is fully inflated and definitely not harder than basketballs.

We have 2 dogs a 9 yr old GSD and a 9 month old GSD/Mastiff x. They love the jolly balls....however indestructible they are not. It is not a week before they have teeth marks all over them and with in 3 weeks they are gone...as in deflated, falling apart, etc. When we only had one dog they would last 4-6 weeks...now 3 is about the maximum. So it is an expensive little habit. Someone on here posted a ball made for pitbulls that is supposed to be guaranteed for 90 days with no damage...I will be looking at those next. Can't remember the name of the ball now....I will do some looking and let you know.

Just remember, teeth can be damaged by the 'indestructable' balls.
For parrots, our mantra was toys are made to be destroyed! You know they're playing with it, if it shows some wear and tear.

Mac loves his horse size Jolly Balls ... Both the flat ones I've accidentally run over and the ones that are still inflated!!! Slider likes the flat ones best. Bruiser & Faith don't like them!

Urm... Jolly Balls are not indestructible. Mine destroyed every Jolly Ball within ten minutes. The only ball they were never able to destroy is the Everlasting Funball.

Kongs balls are indestructible, but also Orbee balls. Planet Dog makes them.

Since having Rey, I have become a huge fan of Kong toys. She can't even eat the Frisbee by Kong. I'm impressed.
