"Squeaky toys are ... well ... FINE in a pinch, but really, nothing in her world compares with this ball."
"I didn’t know how much my Maltese girls would like a ball without a squeaker but these Chuckit Ultra Balls became an instant favorite with them."
"Plus my big boy (Dane & Boxer Mix) can destroy the regular ones within minutes if I turn my back for any reason but these rubber Chuckit!"
"These are great for water play because if the dog loses sight, the bright orange helps you find it. There is something to be aware of though: Our multiple use experience has found that there is a round seal that will give way. This seal will crack open and then continue to split apart until it seems best to just remove the round piece all together to prevent it from breaking loose and choking your dog."
"Standard tennis balls don't stand a chance, we had found a few that held up nicely but had no give to them and he would lose interest fairly quickly because they weren't fun to chew on."
"Chucket is our go to for all her toys now."
Just fill the toy with your dog’s favorite treats, adjust the level of difficulty, and watch them have a fun, interactive feeding experience. Fill with your dog’s favorite treats, promoting active and healthy feeding.

"I and my dog have dropped this a couple of times on both laminate and wood floor, but I see no crack on the ball so far. Good ball to make your dog work for his breakfast or dinner. Also since the ball doesn't hold a full cup of kibble, I would pour half and the rest on his regular food bowl. Even after realizing that there is food in the bowl (He puts his nose inside the bowl for a second and then goes to the ball) where he could just eat it, he perfers to get his food from the ball."
"I think the problem is that they aren't getting rewarded quickly enough to keep their attention and connect 'roll the ball' with 'get a treat'... even on the easiest setting. Once they realize that rolling the ball gives them a treat, I'll try opening the 2nd hole to give more of a challenge."
"Within 8 hours of him receiving this he got his jaw severely stuck."
"As of today, his jaw and two front teeth got stuck in the hole, which we had no idea until we started hearing him freak out and cry ( he is always around us when using this toy)."
"I still wish they advertised this toy better for larger dogs, I am happy with the outcome and most importantly, my puppy had no damage to her jaw and is doing just fine."
The Extreme Ball is the toughest and most durable ball on the market. Perfect for games of fetch or for chew sessions.

So don't let the 3 stars convince you not to buy it (lol - like this is going to outweigh the 2,000 5-star reviews from people that gave these to their Schnauzer) rather, think of it an invitation to set your expectations accordingly if you have a powerful dog, and/or one that is an active chewer. It's tons of fun to play with - as has been mentioned, it definitely has some momentum, so indoors it's going to be doing a lot of collateral damage, especially if you have kids doing the tossing. We will be getting another - but the local "big box pet retailer" sells the 2-pack of these for only a dollar more than this single."
"When she's tired, she carries it to the couch and rests her chin on it. When she tries to bear down and do real damage, it nicely slips out of her mouth due to saliva on the ball."
"I have a German Shepherd that chews EVERYTHING to bits, tennis balls don't even make it back from one game of fetch."
"Only ball that has survived our dogs’ rough play. It has a middle hole that go through the ball completely so it won’t get the tongue stuck because of suction if the dog introduces it like it has happened with other brand balls."
"I bought this because a friend, who boards dogs, has this ball and it barely has a dent in it."
"Save your money if your dog is an intense chewer!"
Best Small Animal Exercise Wheels
Specially designed for quiet spinning.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Easy installation to the cage wall, spins without catching, no sounds, thick sturdy plastic, very spacious."
"One complaint, the wheel itself does spin quietly, no squeaking or anything, but it is occasionally loud when my rat runs particularly fast or hard on it."
"The wheel was also prone to tipping, and we had to put a weight on the stand to keep it upright."
"I got this brand of wheel for my hedgehog, Dax, about 5 months ago. The only thing that I think could of caused this injury is that his foot got pinched some how between these pieces and ripped his little foot while he was running."
"This one also didn't work. I thought it was that they needed to be worn in a little, but even after a week it didn't make a difference. I uploaded a video of the comparison of the NEW(left) and the OLD(right). -- Rotating http://goo.gl/XPfXai. Here is an image of the parts, OLD(left) and NEW(right). -- Disassembled parts http://goo.gl/JxuEpn. -- Rotating part http://goo.gl/2DTTuo. OLD (working) Version. -- Rotating part test http://goo.gl/owYqIE. NEW (inferior) Version. -- Rotating part test http://goo.gl/JxuEpn."
"I'm having a hard time imagining what pet could comfortably run on this wheel."
"I had it attached to the wires of my cage not free standing, which makes no difference for the poor quality."
"No matter how tightly you screw the nut onto the bolt, or how you affix the yellow casing to the cage or stand, the bolt is loose which causes the wheel to spin off axis, vibrate, and rattle at any speed."
Best Dog Toy Ball Launchers

Find Best Price at Amazon"—I'm no materials science guy but it seems there's been a change in the composition of the plastic such that it's lost much of its elasticity—the cup simply fails to grab the ball in a relatively short period of time (a couple months of use) where it seemed to last for over a year previously. —Out of desperation, we tried another brand, also purchased here on Amazon, the Hyper-Pet Throw-n-Go® (the two black launchers to the left of the Chuck-Its). —The Hyper-Pet is nearly identical in price but has held its cup's 'grab-ability' much longer. It features a more flexible neck region, which may slightly limit maximum throw distance, but which is still great for our hyperactive standard poodles and which has the unexpected benefit of saving your wrist and forearm/elbow; I've not re-experienced humeral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) since switching (yeah, we use them *a lot*!)."
"We've only had it for 2 weeks so I can't tell yet how it will last, however, we use this every single day to throw anywhere from 25 - 100 balls. Best thing I did when I bought this was to also purchase 3 kong balls."
"I would absolutely recommend this to anyone with a high energy dog that loves to chase balls. Make sure your dog likes to chase balls though, because long ago, when our last dog was a puppy, we bought one of these not realizing that she was not a fan of balls but instead we found out she was a stick dog."
"The tennis ball it comes with has a great bounce, I don't plan on letting my dog keep the ball when we aren't using the launcher, I'm sure he would shred it quickly!"
"They advertise being able to throw 3 times farther but as an athletic 22 year old I found that with the launcher I can throw about 25% farther with ease and with a little luck and exertion about 50%."
"( dogs and I bike then throw ball). if you have small hands, buy the light weight one, i can't get a comfortable throw on the ultra grip. price was fantastic, 4$ not 15 like petco."
"I contacted Chuckit and they said they would replace the balls."

"If you leave one of these in the cage with your dog while at work and come home to find it shredded don't blame the seller! And i've worked at an animal hospital scooping poop so I can attest that dogs will eat those shredded ropes!"
"They have a tendency to shred any toy they get a hold of, but they've had these for about a week and the ropes have held up nicely."
"The ropes are great, but my silly dog had the ball torn apart in a few hours."
"Great."
"They are the perfect size for her and I love the colors."
"The dogs loved them however my pair of JRT's destroyed them completely in only a few hours."
"Only one of these had survived 6 weeks, but that's because my 60 lb puppy decided he didn't like this one ..... find something else if your dog is a aggressive chewer."
Best Dog Chew Toys

"It would be better if it didn't get all rough (see picture) and flake off little burrs of plastic that stick in socks and bare feet, but since big blocks of silicone don't satisfy chew cravings, and most other things are shredded in minutes, this is the best compromise I've found."
"I can't imagine a dog breaking off chunks or a dog really destroying this as other reviews have stated, as we've had both for months and months...but perhaps there are the insane chewer category of chewers out there but I've had nothing bet a great experience with the product."
"After pushing the chicken flavored puppy nylabone on my boy for two weeks with minimal success, I ventured out and order this benebone."
"My cockapoo has been loving these Benebone chew toys since she was 4 months old and 8 pounds. Despite my reservations, my dog loves them. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that they come in different sizes, and this one is larger than I would have liked for my 22 pound dog."
"11/14/14. So..... after writing my review the company contacted me and refunded double the cost of the product suggesting that maybe it was extra sharp "puppy teeth" that led to our issue. I feel bad leaving my rating at 1 star after the impeccable customer attention I received but as an amazon shopper I know that many folks read both the highest and lowest reviews while deciding on purchases and it's important for others to know that breakage is possible - especially with puppies!"
Best Dog Squeak Toys
Bound to become your best friend’s favorites, our lovable toys are durably designed with an engaging array of shapes, sounds and textures so you can have huge fun with your furry friend. SQUEAK ATTTACK: Each Outward Hound Hide a Squirrel stuffed squirrel is loaded with one large squeaker that keeps dogs playing longer with the squeaky sound they love.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"With the junior, she'll hoard the squirrels once they're out of the log (they're not small enough to be a choking hazard), but the log holes are smaller and it's harder for her to jam her face in there and pull them out."
"This toy will definitely not hold up to chewing but when used interactively and with supervision it's fun and will last a bit longer. The squeaker is just stuck in there with the stuffing with not extra reinforcement or protection so be aware of that if your dog likes to kill things that squeak. The tree stump itself has generally held up well, although there is some tearing around the holes just from the dog shoving his nose in there over and over again."
"However, my dog loves to rip the seams on toys and the squirrels didn't last more than a day."
"As the long distance "grandma" of four adorable little Dachshunds -- who live waaaaay down in Mississippi with my younger son and his partner, while I live waaaaay up in Cincinnati :-( -- I've enjoyed sending little parcels every now and then to let them know I'm thinking about them. You can't beat Amazon prices on these animal puzzles - they're terrific as compared to ordering directly from Outward Hound, though here are correct dimensions/MSRPs - straight from the manufacturer's pages - to give you a better grasp of the sizes (dimensions shown are L x W x H) of the available puzzles (along with their MSRPs)... HIDE-A-SQUIRREL: Junior (5" x 5" x 5", $12.99), Large (6" x 6" x 7", $16.99), Jumbo (7" x 7" x 8", $24.99), Ginormous (7" x 7" x 12", $29.99)."

The first set we had were retired after my dog managed to puncture a few holes in the cloth and tattered the edges a bit causing the flights to be very wobbly and sporadic."
"My dog learned to catch a frisbee with this toy!"
"Still love it."
"CHUCKIT is our pups best friend,he loves every single chuck it item we have bought.He will NOT go outside unless he has one of his chuck it frisbee's in his mouth."
"Very cool frisbee!"
"There is no issue with durability, it holds up perfectly well; if I only let her play with it while throwing and put it away when finished then it will last a long time."
"She'd have had more catches if I was a more accomplished disc thrower, though this is easy to throw (need to work on my finesse a bit to get the loft just right)."
"These are very well made products that are good quality, durable, and easy to clean when it gets dirty."
