Jolly Ball for Horses or Large Breed Dogs

Labrador retriever had handle eaten within five minutes.

The ball part is durable, but my dog ate the handle within 10 minutes

I've been using Jolly Balls to entertain dogs for years at my boarding kennel and they LOVE them! It's like a giant pacifier for the those who like to fetch and chew. They can bite it and it comes back to it's shape and doesn't pop. Some dogs will chew the handle off if you don't watch them, but even with a missing handle, the dogs still love playing with it. Great dog toy!

I had purchased a slightly smaller jolly ball for my horse years ago. She never played with it. We bought a German shepherd pup in September 2014 and he loved the jolly ball but it was too big for him as a little puppy. He is now 11 months and had chewed the handle off the old one. I ordered one of these jolly balls for him and received it this last Friday. It's now Tuesday and it's nearly ruined. He has chewed a hole in it, collapsed it, it's full of holes, he really loves playing with it. I can't afford to buy one of these every week, so this will be his last. I am writing this just to say the jolly ball will not stand up to an exuberant German shepherd, so find something cheaper. :)

I purchased one of these balls and it took almost 3 years for my mare to destroy it! That was a lot of Play Time for her. What was awesome about this ball when she w stepped on it, it would re-inflate! When the ball is cold it is a little harder to re-inflate, just stick it out in the sun and pull on the handle while you manipulate it back in shape again, awesome! My mare plays with it, shakes it and kicks it around the pen. So we are on to our second ball that will last another 3 years!!!

Not only does my 6-yr-old gelding play with it, he has induced my 24-yr-old gelding to play with it with him!  They are a hoot!  It would be nice if it were more indestructible; they have already done in one ball.
