Sprong Dog Chew and Squeak Toys - Bumpy Bone - Assorted Colors

BACKGROUNDI own several labradors. If anyone has seen the film "Marley & Me" then you will understand what type of dogs I have in my care. For everyone else, lets say they are very destructive. They are able to tear up tennis balls in a matter of seconds.APPEARANCE & MAKEThe sprong line of toys have a weird texture to them. I would describe the feel as the feeling of velvet due to the soft fuzzy feel. There are multiple shapes as well as multiple sizes.RELIABILITYMy labradors have had an assortment of shapes and sizes for several weeks now to break in. The squeakers still work in all but one of the toys. The smaller Sprong Hex Balls are unfazed but, on the larger Hex Balls, several of the prongs have been tore off.The velvet fuzzy material does get dirty but these balls are relatively easy to spray off and scrub compared to the dense cloth material that makes up a tennis ball. If your dogs are chewers, that velvet fuzzy material WILL come off as well as the fact it naturally comes off through normal wear and tear.Also, during the course of playing catch or just through chewing, the material absorbed slobber and so the ball does become weighted down and splatter during the course of play.CUSTOMER SUPPORTNot utilizedPROS:++ Sturdy construction surviving a pack of 4 labradors for 3+ weeks now++ Assortment of shapes and sizes available to chose fromCONS:++ Larger Hex shaped Sprong ball had its sprockets tore off too easily++ Costly compared to similar items

Flimsy cheaply made, Squeak whistle dislodges within a week of use. Nice colorful felt covering peels off into our dogs' mouths; our hands and clothes. Notice the manufacturing of this is in CHINA where quality control and safety are anathema to profit. We have 2 black labs that love this toy. And embarrassingly we bought 3 times hoping each time we just got a "lemon". Well, we found out every single one we received did the same thing: no squeak, sloughing of covering making a mess.DO NOT BUY

This is my Doberman pinscher's fave "baby ball", and miraculously, she doesn't put a mark on it, even though, true to her breed, she will scientifically disembowel stuffies and eat the fur off anything really fuzzy. And yeah, it's a bit small, but we got it for her as a pup and she doesn't like the larger ones as much. Go figure.So, caveat: not safe for toy-eating dogs, obviously. It's like flocked foam rubber. But it's soft, fuzzy without having removable fur, and squeaks easily but not too loud, and the squeaker lasts pretty well. Oh, and annoyingly, it does head for under the couch far too often.We have three so far; one stopped squeaking pretty quickly when a stray tooth I think made a direct hit on the squeaker hole. One, seven years old at least, has had all its flocking sucked or dissolved off, but still manages a whispery squeak, and a newer one which is now of course her favorite. She holds it, squeaks it and whines along with it (??). And takes it to bed with us.But I would strictly supervise this until you know your dog won't eat it. It's all fun and games until bowel resection.Worth a try: you just never know what their favorite toy will be.

My Dog LOVES LOVES this toy and it keeps her so happy and content. This is the fifth one, I bought the others from local stores. I want to rate this a 5 only because my dog loves this thing so much but I will give it three stars because of the price and quality. I've had several dogs over the years. I had a puggle that could tear or break ANY toy in about 30 mins. My current dog is not destructive at all and it is usually about a week before a lot of the felt covering is peeling off and about another month before there are holes in the foam cushion. I will not pay $16 for another sponge roller with a squeaky toy inside.

I bought this ball for my cousin’s puppy who came over for a couple of hours. He stayed for a total of 5 hours. The puppy loves this ball. After 3 hours, the ball started ripping and the ball stoped squeaking. Im glad the puppy likes the ball but I was hoping it would last more than 5 hours. The ball is also made out of velvet and thats what made it easy to rip.

This is the third time I've bought this toy. Our dog loves them, it bounces in unexpected angles and has a really loud squeaker that drives the dog into a play frenzy.The squeaker is rather loud and drives me nuts too, after a while and I have to take the toy and put it away before I loose my mind.The overall construction is good, the outer side of the toy has a plush (think tennis ball) finish and our small dog has never torn thru one. I let the dog play with it outside and after a few times in gets dirty enough that it gets banned to the outside. To solve the "problem" we now have a new clean Sprong inside the house and an old groody one outside. This is our dog favorite toy.

My dog is quirky. He bugs us to play with him but doesn't seem to know how to play! He just stares at balls and frisbees. These Sprong balls, though, he loves! I don't understand why...this blue one is a replacement for a previous favorite but he's loved all the different shapes I have brought home. He whips his neck to throw them and he chases them himself! He now comes to me when he wants me to throw the ball around the house for him.The downside, as so many others have mentioned, is that the foam toy is very easy for the dog to chew up. This new one I bought I'm not giving him full access to. I will throw it to him but when he starts to move away so he can chew it up I take it away and give him something safer to chew.So..I love these because my dog loves them, but I wish he didn't destroy them so quickly. If you have a dog who will chase other, more durable items I don't recommend this, but we can't live without them!

My dog loves these soft balls. And almost undestructable. We can throw them around without damaging anything. So glad we were able to find these on amazon. They are not easy to come by!

My little mutts new favourite toy!!!

They squeak, they bounce erratically, they have a cool texture, and they're light and soft enough to be tossed indoors! Our dog LOVES frantically chasing these around. :D

I have a small dog who loved the sound however, tore it into large chunks of foam within 5 minutes. No worth the near 10$.

Soft and Durable for sure!!
