For a small dog will this ball take chewing for months or just days?

I have had it for months and my kelpie, who destroys almost anything, hasn't chomped this one. I was just disappointed it doesn't glow.

Nora, I have 3 large dogs and I bought them in Jan. 2013, they are a tough little ball and for a small dog, you should have these for a good long while. They are easy on the teeth and easy to find since they glow in the dark. Hope this helps in making your decision.

Oh these are by far the best for any dog that is an aggressive chewer. I have 2 puggles who love these and I have only repurchased this ball 2 times.

I found my local Dollar store had full rubber ball for $2 which is great value and they seem to last longer but to answer your question it depends. I would try it once and see

Our 70 lb black lab is the big orbee fan. She hasnt destroyed one of the small orbees yet. This one is great for playing catch but she really prefers the small two tone orbees witb the raised stuff. I truly think the orbee will last a long time. Good luck & hope pup enjoys.

I guess it depends on your dog and how rough they play. My dog doesn't chew up her toys, she plays with them. This ball is very durable for what it was designed for. Throwing, fetching and retrieving.

It is a quick chew like a piece of rawhide. I think it is usually gone on 10 minutes

The ball is the size of a tennis ball if that helps. My Dobermans play with theirs and I have not had any problems with them trying to swallow the ball. Of course if one them wanted to try, they could get the ball stuck in their mouth. So it depends on how your dog handles this size of a ball. One of my boys is an agressive chewer and so far the ball has survived him.

I would say that the regular size will last about 5 minutes. It is not as hard as many of the chews, because it is meant to be a teeth cleaner that is also easily digestible. Our dogs love the chews and we use them because they will not stay still for teeth brushing. If you want something that will be longer lasting but will not cause other problems like rawhide does, you might want to use a Kong and fill it with peanut butter, or fill with a peanut butter and yogurt mixture that you can freeze for the summertime.

I have a giant breed dog and the antlers can last several months. every once and a while you get a "softer" one which can be whittled down in a few weeks.Antlers are one of the only things I've found that can't be destroyed by my dogs in less than a day. The other thing I just recently found is called a Goughnut.It comes in several shapes and sizes and is available on Amazon. They will replace it if your dog chews through it. So far so good but it's still not as enticing as an antler to my dogs.

It's slightly larger... maybe about the size of a softball? It depends on the size of your dog. In my opinion it's better if your dog can't pick up the ball and carry it with ease because if it is able to do that, then it may be able to chew it and break it as well. The ball is meant to be nudged and pawed at so that it rolls on the floor and dispenses treats.

Probably 6 months but my 4 month old loves it, and he's been playing with it since 3 months. It's easy for him to grab and he likes to chew on it, trying to lick the inner ball. Favorite toy right now, hands down.

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 terrier mix chewed it up in about 2 days. I find that the only thing she can't tear up as fast is the Kong balls. All of the other toys she will get the stuffing out of.

I have a 45 lb lab mix that chews everything to bits. This is one strong toy that she can't seem to tear apart. Yet. She loves to push it around and make the treats come out now that she has it figured out. Hope that helps.

I have the large so my dog can't really bite it. There are a lot of scratches on it because she tries to bite it when it gets stuck in a corner. She loves the ball and will play with it until she gets tired out. I love it too, it helps to calm her down.

I purchased the mini ball for my 5+ year old grandson and he is thrilled with it. I suspect he will use it for about 2-3 years.

Unfortunately this toy (Elmer the Elephant, KONG Cozie) did not last very long once my puppy got her adult teeth around 4 or 5 months old. Up until then, it lasted a pretty long time (about 6 weeks), longer than any of her other stuffed toys, but it really depends on how rough your pitbull plays. I do think these toys are stronger than most other stuffed toys, so it might last a decent amount of time.

I have a small dog and according to the box they can have two-three a day. I break these hearts in half and only give mine two a day. The Blueberry are smaller bones that would be perfect for toy size dogs.

My 30 lb terrier can destroy anything in about 5 minutes...including black Kongs. After two months the Goughnut is still in one piece. It does not show any tooth marks or gnawed spots. The shape and material make it hard for him to really get a hold of it in a way that he can chew it. He tries. He does like it and we play "tag and tug" with it.

actually our Pembroke Welsh Corgi who was about 5 months old when I bought this toy for him, took about 2 weeks to really make it unacceptable to play with. The center "rope" area gradually became unravelled and then too loose to have him chew on. Overall it was a great toy for the time it did last. Super for chewing, shaking and fetching.
