My dog can do more damage 2 these round balls when they have a whole in the center where she can get a better grip. I'm looking for the 1s without hol

I have a similar issue. Haven't ordered it yet, but based on Q&A; there, try this one: http://www.amazon.com/Kong-Company-292077-Extreme-Med-Lg/dp/B009O3QLMU/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid;=1418164934&sr;=8-7&keywords;=kong+extreme+ball

Try something else. My female Amstaff, which is nearly 2yrs old, was able to destroy this ball within several minutes. She too is notorious for destroying anything with a center hole. However, we've had OK experiences with the black Extreme Kong toy (treat feeder) but even those don't seem to last but maybe a month or so if left in her possession. For balls or chew toys, I would look elsewhere, as we currently are. We'll likely try the Goughnuts next also.

My dog used to play for months with the solid Kong Extreme balls.... since they stopped selling the ones with out holes we've had to get the ones with holes in them.... she destroys them in less than two hours.

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!

I personally have the large one. Its easier for it not to get stuck under furniture. Also, Dudley plays with it for as long as it has treats in it, and larger ball=more treats=longer time he's occupied.

This ball is too small for a large dog. You would have to contact the manufacturer about breakage questions. I would get something else for a large pet.

This item is not safe for a small dog. I have a Manchester terrier (10 lbs) and when she picks it up her paws are too close to the empty center and she steps into the space in the middle. Then she is caught with her paws stuck in the center space. She has also flipped it over her head so that I have to remove it from around her neck so we can continue playing. It seems like a very high quality item but it is not suitable for a small dog.

they are "scored", which means there is a line in the middle and you can break it in half, don't have to cut it. Our dogs are 3 and 14.5 and large dogs so we give them 1 2x/day. Your dog would probably do well with 1 tablet 2x/day if you break it in half.

I love the dura grip ones. It has withstands my 80 pound dog jumping on it and my husband plopping on it. It is perfect for my hardwood floors and probably tiles too. Hope this helps.

My dog is a VERY aggressive chewer, destroys things within minutes. Has had one of these balls for couple weeks now & no signs of punctures!!

The added grab points may help her..but ours is pretty solid after a fee months of play. That said our little girl prefers toys with give and LOVES this ball.

I bought the 6" for my 31# Aussie puppy and that is plenty big for her. I have a 62# shepherd (who isn't interested in it all, BTW) and the 6" is still a big ball for her. It took my puppy awhile to figure out what she wants to do with it. Now she hurls it like a shot put or lugs it around.

Well, the only problem with this ball is that it has two holes in it (top/bottom). This would allow a dog to get their teeth into it as leverage for tearing something up. I wouldn't recommend this ball for your dog, given her track record! :-/

My dogs tore off the handle, other than that the ball is still intact after a couple of months of play. I have another ball just like it that is deformed but still in play after 4 years.

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.

No, it is a bit larger than a tennis ball. Not sure of the exact difference since I have them hidden and I can't let the dog know the secret place - he's been shadowing me.

Similar to a tennis ball. But if your pup is a strong chewer the ball comes apart pretty quickly & has small parts inside that could easily be swallowed. I had this ball about 8 years ago and it was much much stronger. Shame that the newer ones aren't as great because my dogs love it.
