I went out and bought two of these while they were on sale as my dobrador (dobie-lab mix) is a very heavy chewer. Most balls don't last 5 minutes. I brought this home and put some treats in it (there is a hole in the middle for treats) to keep her busy while I paid bills in my room. I come back out of my bedroom after a few hours and I find little blue pieces of this junk everywhere! It might be okay for a little dog, but not for dogs 30 pounds and over.
Pros: Keeps Pet Entertained
Cons: easily destroyed

We have a Heeler/GSH mix that will chew a tennis ball, soccer ball, or volley into tiny pieces in just a few minutes. We have also tried several balls designed for power chewers and this and the Chuckit Kick Fetch are the only thing that held up for over a month.
After about 1 1/2 months he did finally take a chunk out of the Chuckit, but it still is mostly intact. However, the Orka tennis ball is still perfectly intact over three months later.
He really loves to hold it in his mouth and chew on it like it is gum. Because it is so bouncy he can drop it and it goes far enough that he can play fetch by himself. It bounces this way on our floors and on the grass! We love this toy!!
Pros: durable, easy to wash, Keeps Pet Entertained

Our 60# doodle can go through most toys in a day. Our blue bouncy ball has survived for a year and is just now really beginning to show wear and tear. We have 4 around the house for indoor playtime and one that we use for bounce and run in the backyard. These balls bounce really high when new so be careful, we've lost 2 over a 6 foot fence!

I bought the smaller size ball for my chihuahua and I like this toy because I can leave it stuffed with treats for my dog in the morning as a distraction. She likes it better than the kong toys because she isn't a chewer and she can roll it around and get the treats to fall out of the two different sized holes. It gets the dog to focus on how to get the treats out and you can sneak out to work without feeling guilty.

I have an American rednose pitbull she is more then just a power chewer and usally goes through any kind of ball in much less then a day but its been over a week and she just can't get enough of this ball. since it bounces it keeps her entertained even if im not home. i usally come home to a big mess but because of this ball and a few other Orka toys shes way too busy playing with them to rip up anything!!

My dog Riley absolutely ADORES this toy! He is a wolf/shepherd mix with high energy and he destroys most toys within minutes. We have had the Orka tennis ball now for about two weeks and it is still in perfect shape! I can't believe it. I will definitely be ordering extra of these!

my son is a HUGE chewer. When i adopted him his name was chewy- figures. Anyway. He can destroy and eat through anything. This was the best treat ball even though it wasn't meant to be one. He can shred those other things like its his job and i had a problem bc he was swallowing the pieces. He hasnt managed to break through this one and I think its because of the size. Great price. I get those pedigree dental sticks and break them into 3's or 4's. shove em' in and throw. He's entertained. Only problem. Its hard to see the clear blue in the grass.

the first time i got this ball i wasn't sure if it would last long, but it lasted 1 year.(that is very long for my puppies considering they went through 2 chew toys within 45 minutes). my puppies hated taking baths but after i threw the ball in the tub they wanted to takes baths. this ball floats well and is easy to spot. it will float now matter how bad the balls condition. now that i have bought another one of these for my puppies they are awaiting summer so they can dive in after this excellent ball.

I love the Orka products. This is one of my puppy's favorite toys. He's a German Shepherd and quite the chewer, but he hasn't chewed through this. My favorite part of this toy is that it bounces so well. He's able to essentially play with himself. He'll drop it then it'll bounce and he'll go chasing after it. One of our favorite toys.
Pros: durable, Keeps Pet Entertained, easy to wash

My dog is 9#'s all mouth. he loves this ball. I have to hide it from him sometimes. there are so many bite marks in it. I am sure a larger dog would tear right through it.

Just the right bounce, a favorite of our puppy. Great for games of catch, and no cover to chew off like a tennis ball!

My two dogs love to play with this ball. It bounces well, and is easy to throw. I like it better than a regular tennis ball, because there's no fuzz on it, and therefore it's much easier to keep clean! It's also softer than a tennis ball, and easier on my puppy's teeth.
Pros: durable, chewable
