Is this ball soft eñough for dog to pick it up with teeth?

This ball is a bit hard but, yes, your dog will most likely be able to pick it up with his teeth. My border collie works with it until he decides where he's going to grab on and the best part is he's not destroying it. I've actually bought two more in the smaller, different sizes. He has recently learned to push this one with his nose and guide with his feet if he gets frustrated with picking the ball up.

We have a Doberman,he can pick it up with his teeth,a smaller dog would need a smaller size.The ball is firm so they can not destroy .

In my opinion, no. Clearly some dogs like this ball, my dog didn't know what to do with it.

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.

I'd definitely give it a try. Our ball is 2.5 years old and is the only one we've found to last with our rottweiler/pit mix.

I don't know about the teeth question. But, to answer the second question this ball is not made of felt. The ball is all plastic. Very sturdy

yes. it works great. you dog can carry it around and bite down on it and it comes right back to its shape. My rotties love this ball.

The ball is extremely durable. It can withstand bouncing off any surface no problem. We have played fetch with it about 10 times already and there isn't a single scuff on the ball. I won't leave my dog alone to chew on it though. I'm not sure that she would do any damage but, I don't want to take that chance.

No, it has a texture that dog hair doesn't stick to. It isn't squishy either per say. It is not hard but you can only put pressure on the ball so much, it does not fully collapse. Only a little bit, if that makes sense. This is a great set, they are easy to wash and only one of them seems to have a hole in it where water can collect and that is the smallish blue one.

that ball is kinda like silicone ... it is soft to a certain degree but INDESTRUCTABLE !!!!! The core with the light may come out at some point but the ball never breaks orwears out .. it mostly gets scuffed up and sorta dirty ... usually it gets lost and that is why I have a supply of them. they are my dogs entire life. She sleeps with thedang thing in her mouth. Worth every penney. She gets beside herself when I get a new one out of the closet. Better yet when I turn it on to throw it at night. She LOVES that and has learned to chew and press on it, mouthing it and rolling it around in her mouth til she gets it turned on !! Long answer to your ? but worth it, your dog will love it ! that ball is kinda like silicone ... it is soft to a certain degree but INDESTRUCTABLE !!!!!

Yes, the ball is hollow, but does retain it's shape regardless of the number of puncture holes created by biting and chewing. The handle didn't last very long, but this doesn't seem to decrease the fun factor for my boxer/pitbull dog.

I don't know personally....I have a pit and she loved it, however she is an agressive chewer so she has managed to chomp lil' pieces out of the ball. I hope that helps :)

My dog picks this toy up and carries it around and I can barely see any teeth marks on it.. She hasn't chewed on it though... I do think it would hold up to chewing! It's thick plastic and my dogs love playing with it! Keeps them entertained for at least an hour.

I probably would discourage using it as a catch toy for a dog. I think it could possibly injure the animal if it was tossed directly at him. I'm pretty conservative when it comes to picking toys for my dog, though, so factor this into your reading of my answer.

Yes. The ball is not soft foam, it is soft rubber. Hope this helps. My 10 year old grandson plays with this all the time.

We haven't played with the ball a whole lot, but it is cool how it changes colors. You have to push down real hard on a flat circular area to get it to light up. It's a nice hard rubber ball, and my dog is a flat-haired Border Collie - 8 months old and only weighs 30 lbs, but she can get a hold of it and loves to run after it down the hallway while it is changing colors. I think it would take a lot to tear this ball up. It seems as tough as a Kong - if you know what that is.

This ball is hard smooth plastic, and I would guess it would also make your dogs nose raw if he pushed it around constantly. However, my 50 lb Aussie has not had this problem.

I'm not sure. I have a 55lb. Staffordshire Bully and he is a chewer. My dog will sometimes push the ball with his nose if he isn't picking it up with his mouth.

sorry for delay on your response. This ball is a strange toy the first one broke when it fell of my bed onto the hard wood floor and now the second one does work when my dog starts to chew on it or when you walk by it. You may have a dud return it and get a new one.

It's not that heavy! It does depend on the breed though. I have a pitbull, he runs up and down the stairs with it, and all over the yard! The grooves on the ball makes it super easy for him to carry it.
