Is it for a strong chewing Pit Bull?

I don't personally have a pit bull so I don't have personal experience there but my dog is a very strong Malinois and is a heavy chewer. He has never destroyed one of these balls.

I have 2 stafforshire bull terriers and they have been unable to tear it. So far has stood up to their use.

Hi Patsy, My Tiki is a voracious chewer. He is a German Shepard mix and has a really strong bite. Every dog will have a little different experience with this toy but I would wholeheartedly endorse this toy for your dog. Simply order the largest size BLACK BALL that they offer. Eventually your Pit will win but Ours lasts around THREE MONTHS. Failing that a small car tire might work well :o}. ( I had a Great Dane that played with old tires from a 60's era VW BEETLE)

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!

No! They will destroy it into a million pieces in several days or weeks. I recommend Goughnuts. A little more expensive but i have 2 extreme chewers(bith pits) and they have yet(after 3 weeks) to do ANY damage to the ball and the large doughnut. There isnt a single puncture on either toy after weeks of trying!

Yes! I own a pitbull and she chews it for hours. She leaves little teeth marks on it but it's strong enough that she can't tear it apart. We have had it for 2 weeks now and still no damage to the ball

It's like a kong it does have some give. It would be fine for a dog with injured gums. If they are a strong chewers though it will not last long

No. This ball is unsuitable for strong chewers. My parent's Weimeraner (73 to 75 lbs) broke the ball in a few minutes. Tugly kong toys are made of rubber & very durable. I put in peanut butter, kibble & some larger cookies into the tugly.

Yes. One of my dogs (rottie/lab mix 65lbs) chewed on this like a tennis ball. It is the greatest ball of all time. I've had mine for several months. I'm surprised at the abuse this ball can take and it doesn't deflate. You and your dog will love this ball.

Unless you're going to go full wolverine on it, yes, I think it would. It is pretty solid. I bit it a few times before giving it to my son and it is pretty tough. So, for a chewing habit (like pen caps and pencils) I think it would be great. And it doesn't look bad, either. :)

My 55 & 45 lb. Pit mixes are fine with them. The collar has holes almost the whole way around. You could cut the extra off as its just plastic. I saw them in UAE on pit bull puppies, certainly less than 30lbs. at a training session, so I believe they would be fine. My pit/hound mix responds to the vibration & the other is a little more stubborn, needing the static shock. I had back surgery & these collars allow me to control them both on & off the leash. It has also helped to stop unwanted behavior with only a couple of zaps.

It would probably be able to withstand for a few weeks. We have a 1.5 year old 35 lb pit that gnaws on everything. She destroyed this and got to the red within 2 months. She chewed on it every day of the week for 4-5 hrs a day too.

I wouldn't worry too much as they take a while to break down my pug had one for a good two wks and that's chewing daily. If you're worried about weight try antler chews they are rock hard and so good for them , but they'll take years to make a dent in !

My dog is a powerful chewer but hasn't chewed on the bed. I'm not sure how well it would hold up if she decided to chew it. The legs are made out of pretty solid pvc and the canvas is thick. The company has excellent customer service. I was missing a piece of the bed when I unpacked it (on the weekend). I sent an e-mail to the company and heard back from them the same day and they sent the missing parts out right away. Good luck.

Hi, I cant really answer that question because I dont know any pit bulls and I am not an official dogtrainer. Since this lead is not very expensive, I would just order one and try it out. Good luck!

the xsmall will but personally i wouldn't use it for that. i would work on stopping him from doing it a different way. do you provide him with good dogs chews. .the dental ones are good. and the greenies are good.. have you tried those .. anything that distracks him will work over time..

It used to in the beginning but I just bought one recently and it lasted about a week with my pit... The best thing so far I purchased so far for my pit that has lasted forever are kong treat toys...my pit is on a mission to completely destroy his toys so this has worked the best for us

Yes, George, only mine did better than that...my 75 pound pit bull ate the entire thing (chewed it up - did not swallow whole) in about 20 minutes! I was actually worried about him, but it didn't seem to affect him at all. I will never buy him another one, though...at $1.00 per minute, not a very good value. If mine were the type to nibble or gnaw gently it would be fine, but my dog has one agenda and that is to completely devour, deconstruct, destroy whatever toys or treats I give him as quickly as possible. :)

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.

It should unless your pit bull is really large. Either way you can buy additional links that click right in for a few extra bucks.

Most definitely. It is a great way to challenge and interact with your pet. The plastic is pretty strong so little teeth can't destroy it. My French Bulldog has a very strong grip with her teeth and learned that biting it wasn't going to work so she took her paw at worked at pushing the pieces back and forth until she got the treats. I sit and work with her sometimes and others just set it down for her to play with. I highly recommend it.

This is probably better for AFTER the teething stage. It works better as a 'buddy' for my dog than as a chewy.
