I don't know if you've gotten responses yet, but I would try the Extreme (black) Kong toys, especially the XL or XXL black kong and the large black kong ball. I had a extreme power chewer and he played with his for 6mths and still no wear (the ball). Eventually he did start getting little pieces off the regular kong, but it still was very durable. I would recommend getting a kong that is bigger than you think he needs, b/c that will make it more difficult to damage, while still allowing him to play with it easily. And you can check out the huge nylabones (non-edible) and see how those work for him; mine was a 60lb lab, and he could destroy any except the largest very quickly. They are great for supervised play though. Hope this helps!

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 have a 2year old mastiff and she got this for Christmas. We have a hole in it. It is empty inside so there is no stuffing. She played tug of war with it along with chewing. All I can suggest is to try it. It did last longer than other toys I have purchased for her. Good luck.

We have a one year old Lab puppy that has chewed up just about every hard toy we have given him, we bought 2 of these balls about 6 months ago and neither he or our Pit Bull have been able to chew these balls up, as yet

I have 2 pit bulls, one around 50 lbs and the other that's 65-70lbs. Both are strong chewers... they are able to break of large chunks of the standard nylon bones. They loved tugging with this and it lasted 2-3 weeks with playing tug constantly, and I do mean constantly. This was their favorite toy hands down. It's in 3 pieces now and they still try to tug with it, but they also like to chew on the pieces like a bone. They have never broken off any pieces by chewing it.

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 pit has had it for over a week now she loves it. It was definitely worth it. I have spent a lot on toys that say they are tough only to trash them 20 minutes later. Highly recommend!

The pound guideline seem unusual. Scroll down mad look at the dimensions of the toys. Those will give you a better idea of what size to get. We have a very chewy Beagle and she tore off the end within a couple days. IF you gave a dog that like to tear things apart I would look at a different type of toy.

I am going to be honest with you, my dog would not stop chasing the ball till I stop him, doing so he rip the skin close to the bone off! Since they cant bite the ball, they are forced to use there legs and lean into the ball, doing so it will remove skin. By the way he still has problems with his leg today. Anyways I keep looking for something that wont hurt your dog.. Merry Christmas to all. Tom

My 3 mo old pup was and is still a chewer...has not chewed the poochie bells on the back door or the ones inside the bedroom door. Has plenty of chew toys and bones available. Things are kept off the floor and unavailable so can't chew. Pleease, Do not punish if chews if inappropriate..correct...and give THEIR chewies.

I have 2 aggressive chewers, a 115 lb. 10 yr old golden retriever and at 12 lb. 7 mo. old mini doxi mix, both can destroy indestructible toys, beds, blankets, you name it, in less than 24 hrs. They've had 2 diff sizes of these balls for about 3-4 weeks now and both look the same as the day I opened them. They play with them regularly, so you should get more than 24 hrs. out of them. My tiny dog can carry the very large one of these around also. He shreads a normal tennis ball in a matter of minutes, these he can't. Thankfully, they've worked for us.

I have been wondering about that myself, as the family English Bulldog tore part of it off, attempting to get at the food! Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? I think that is what I will do!

Definitely. I have a large pitbull that ate through one of those extreme kongs without hesitation but as longs as there is a treat in the end she was more fixated on the treat than destroying the toy itself. It took her a few hours to eat the treat ends as well

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!!

I have no problem with my boxer who's first name is destruction !!! Haha she will eat the plastic bottom that it comes with but I got creative and went to Home Depot and got a piece of plywood to fit and then sprayed it with a rhino liner style paint that works like a champ

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 :)
