Is the Diamond Plate ball more solid like a Kong ball or more compressible like the "Woof" ball?

It's hollow rubber so it squishes nicely. My first one lasted from January to June with my half GSD dog, and even then it wasn't falling into pieces, just had a crack in it. And it's his only toy.

I don't know what those other balls are like, but my dog (50 lb mixed breed) can def squish this one in his jaws, so it has some flex to it. He seems to find it very satisfying. It's not hard plastic. It's rubber but tough! Totally stood the test of time. We love it! As does our trainer, to whom we gave one, and he has some serious jaws on his dogs! Smells good too : ). Minty. And bouncy.

Not sure what a woof ball is but the diamond plate ball is easily compressed by by pit.

Very very soft and flexible. Kong is many times harder than the diamond plate ball.

It's closer to the Kong, but compresses a little. I have Kong's, but my shepherd only likes these:-I swear by them. He eventually wears them out, but the company will replace it once. I always have to look up their policy, but it's nice to at least get 2 for one. Amazon has the best pricing on these as well.

I would say it is more compressible than a Kong ball, not sure what a "Woof" ball is though. My dog tears up everything and she loves this ball. We put a treat it in and give it to her to play with.

The bolo balls are somewhat soft, but they bounce well. The Miranda steel version of ladder golf is the best that I have seen.It is top quality all the way!

Hard. I love it! Play for hours. Mine is a big German Shepherd. Prefer the Jolly Ball but it is twice as much.

I have not tried the Orbee Tuff Luna ball but it is squishy not firm. My German Shepard shows no interest in very stiff toys (probably because he can't destroy them).

Yes it is bigger than the average chuckit ball. My lab goes through tennis balls like it was eating ham too.. Both my dogs are 75+lbs and they haven't been able to even rip part of it yet!!!! However they still like the tennis balls better even though they have this one.

I'm am not familiar with either of those. I do know it is a horrible choking hazzard for any dog. My dog had it in pieces within only a few hours. They claim it is made for heavy chewers. It definitely is not.

The black one is the Kong Extreme. It's made of a tougher material. The red one is the basic Kong.

Not sure, it is not a stiff plastic, so some sort of rubber type material. Not as hard as a kong, more flexible. My two small dogs like the medium size and shake it and roll it around. They are small so don't do damage to it, not sure how a big dog would do, if they could destroy it. Petsafe does have its own website, so you could contact them for info. They toy does have a strong rubbery smelll for a while. Hope this helps.

The Kong ball is larger than the tennis ball, but my dog handles it okay. I just don't throw it to her, but she will play with it alone. Sometimes I will roll it for her to chase. She can fetch it fine. She is an 80 lb-16 month old German Shepard.

The ball is hollow, but it is molded, not inflated, so it holds its shape . In fact, it actually comes with a small hole in it, I assume as a result of the molding process. My boxer loves biting the ball and forcing air out the hole--I think she likes the sound.

Ballls are to heavy..I try kong balls (for my dog) and would not spit them out

Not completely sure, i would guess plastic. They are easier to break than regular balls, and weigh more than regulation balls, so the bounce is shorter. Hope this helped!

They'r soft and do squeak. After some initial play, our ball had trouble re-inflating (we had to manipulate it back into shape). The material isn't as high of quality as the squeaky balls that come in packs of 4 at Petsmart. We have a Border Collie and this ball wasn't durable enough for her play needs.

HUGE advantage over the Kong! It's more rugged, and this one has little teeth on the bottom so you can put their food in it. My dog likes to chew on it and also bounce it around to get the food out. He absolutely loves it! We have a Kong as well and it's not nearly as cool!

It's a very durable tough, thick plastic. You most definitly dont want to mistake it for a kickball. Its such a tough plastic I dont recommend it for indoor use. Could bang up nice furniture and makes loud noises when it bangs against the wall. I will say this was the best canine purchase I have made. I have a blue nose pitbull and this is the FIRST thing that she has not been able to destroy. She has pinpointed the point of weakness on the ball but cannot break the seal. She's very persistent and will work on this ball for 45-60 mins at a time trying to deflate/destroy it and comes up short everytime. It's a very durable tough, thick plastic.

I understand your concern, however my experience with this Kong Balls is that they are virtually indestructible. I have two adult male German shepherds that play with theirs continually, and have yet to see this ball shredded to ribbons like so many other toys. We bought this product about 8 months ago and its still going strong!

No- this is a solid but resilient ball- not hard like a football, more like very dense foam. there are deep grooves for carrying, but i don't think your dog will be able to catch it in mid air. its is heavier than a slightly deflated soccer ball.
