Chuckit! Kick Fetch Ball Dog Toy, Small (6 Inch)

4 out of 5 of my pit bulls love this ball. I wrote about how they love the football style version of this ball earlier. This brand makes awesome and durable toys for dogs! My fifth pit bull won't chase anything that isn't breathing on it's own. He looks at us as nuts kicking this ball around the yard. I look like I have a soccer team of pit bulls playing in the yard as we kick this ball all over the place. The ball is also easy for the dogs to grip with their teeth, and they have a lot of fun playing chase once one grabs the ball. Warning! This is NOT an indestructible toy despite its durability. If you leave your dog alone with it, expect it to be partially destroyed one tiny piece at a time. I recommend supervising your dog during play to extend the life of this fantastic toy. We are on our second replacement...four pit bulls playing tug of war truly puts a hurting on any toy...but this has lasted the longest.Update 20170708: Yes, still 5 stars. I truly need to set this product up for monthly delivery because 3 of my pit bulls go through this or the football at a rate of about one a week. When I say 'ball,ball,' they get all excited and run for the door or to where we have the ball stowed. I have to stow it 7 ft off the floor level to keep it out of reach from complete annihilation. The 4th pit bull, Momma Bella, has since backed off playing as her 3 pups are now full grown and are very competitive for the ball. She prefers playing one on one with us so long as she isn't being body slammed by the younger dogs. I think Rugby is probably the closest description of what my younger dogs are doing when playing for this amazing toy. I have tried introducing other toys for play, but seriously, this is what they dream about as they sleep at night. The larger kickball is a challenge for my smallest dog, our runt in the litter, so we make some exceptions to feign throw the ball in one direction and toss it behind us to allow her more time to grip it with her mouth before being chased by her brothers for it. We do try to give each dog time with the ball each play period about two or three different times throughout the day. To keep the balls lasting at least a week, we cannot allow any one dog to keep the ball for any length of period or they start chewing on it to soften it and create tears in it for easier gripping during catch. The smaller football is a lot easier on our runt to get and run, but her larger brothers struggle with the unpredictable bounce when the ball is still mostly firm and intact. Alternating between the kick ball and the foot ball has been really great for exercise and mental stimulation of our dogs. I cannot praise this product enough. BTW the color choice is spot on...why? When they do manage to separate the inner foam ball from the outer orange and blue shell, they ignore the foam ball and play with the shredded outer covering. I know dogs can see limited colors and blue being one of them. I am not sure if orange is as well, but they absolutely love this and easily find the new ones in our workshop storage area against all the other stuff we have in storage if we aren't careful.

Someone gave my German shepherd one of these a couple of years ago, and she finally managed to destroy it with frequent (very frequent) play. I wasn’t going to replace it due to the price, but I caught a sale and ordered her one for Christmas. She’s obsessed with it. It’s easy for her to carry around in her mouth, but it holds up surprisingly well. I like that I can kick or toss it. We use it inside and out. Because it’s soft, it does less damage inside than many of her toys, even though it’s larger. It’s perfect for the right dog. I don’t think it would hold up to a dog that plays REALLY rough with its toys, but for most it would be fine.

Our 16 month old 55 lb female pit bull loves this toy!! We had started playing soccer with her with a regular soccer ball and she absolutely loved it. The only problem was that she really sunk her teeth into the soccer ball and the covering came off after just about three weeks of playing with it. The stitching also came apart to the point where the ball just needed to be thrown away.We came across this Chuck It a while back and reconsidered buying it once the regular soccer ball got destroyed. WOW, what a great toy!!This toy is similar to a soccer ball in that you can kick it. I will say, there is a slight difference because this ball is a bit bouncier so there is less ability for people to have ball control like you would with a regular soccer ball. For example, if you are playing with your dog and two adults, and one adult tries to catch the ball with their chest or stomach, it bounces off and away from your body much more than a soccer ball would.The material that the ball is made out if is very strong and seems like it will hold up for a while. Our dog can grab the Chuck It more easily because of the large grooves in it that are made specially for dogs to carry this in their mouths. It is a great concept because she is less likely to bite the ball anywhere else or try to sink her teeth into the ball because she can get a good grip on it without doing that.This ball is also easier to get away from your dog (we play "keep away" from her but she is WAY BETTER than we are). With a soccer ball our dog would almost always get the ball away from us - we cheated and had to use our hands - and even then the ball would easily slip away. The "grip" or "handle" style of this ball also makes it easier for humans to get involved in playtime with kicking, throwing and playing fetch. It is so much fun!!The ball is easy to clean. You can just rinse it off with soap and water - or just water - and it will dry fairly quickly.I highly recommend this ball for anyone who loves to play fetch or soccer with their dog!!!Chuckit! Large Kick Fetch Ball

When I am reviewing a dog toy the first thing I generally look at is durability. As an owner of three large dogs I have had no shortage of trouble finding durable dog toys. Luckily, my three critics put me in a perfect position to review most dog toys that I purchase. For a multitude of reasons, The Chuckit! Large Kick Fetch Ball is one of those dog toys that I have no problem giving 5 stars.First and foremost the durability on this item has been wonderful. On durability alone I would give this ball 5 stars. My youngest dog, a 70lb pit mix, plays with this toy nearly every day. At least a few times a day I go outside and kick this ball around with her. My 70lb pit bull mix and my 65lb black lab mix regularly get into tugging matches with this ball. These tug matches can last upwards of 10 minutes! Remarkably, this ball has held up for over two months. This is a huge feat in my house, where toys routinely last less than 24 hours. Of course the toy has routine wear and tear on it. Teeth marks and some minor tearing. This is to be expected with the amount of abuse this ball puts up with.I had grown a little tired of picking up a slimed tennis ball while playing fetch with my dog. If I were to use a Chuckit! launcher I fear it would go over the fence in my yard. This ball offered the perfect compromise, a large kick fetch ball. It performs this function perfectly! The size of the ball is big enough for me to land a good kick on. The ball's material is light enough to easily kick far distances while heavy enough so that it won't blow away with a strong gust of wind. Chuckit! has truly designed a near perfect toy!I have zero complaints of the Chuckit! Large Kick Fetch Ball. I know from past experience that Chuckit!'s customer service is top notch. Even if I happened to someday come up with a complaint, I am sure it would be handled promptly. Any dog owner should not hesitate to purchase this dog toy. Rest assured, you will not regret this purchase.

My dog loves to fetch, but a challenge is providing the dog with good toys that will last and are safe, as well as being well made.This toy, made by Chuckit, which in the past has satisfied me with some good stuff, has made another nice product. I purchased the large ball. The ball is about the size of a volleyball and is made up of canvas and has the inserts which are some sort of plastic material (hey, I don;t think it is plastic per se but I didn't receive my PHd in polymers so forgive me). I wouldn't use this outside, especially around concrete. My previous Chuckit toys like tugs just disintegrate with tha texture, this is similar.At any rate, the ball is heavier than might be expected so I wouldn't throw this around freely in the house. On the other hand, I am using this inside the house because in my experience the canvas will fray on concrete and pick up grass stains on the lawn.At first my dog did not like this ball because the ball takes some getting used to. My dog picked up the ball in every which way, but figured out the best spots to use for a quick pick. In fact, the dog can sometimes grab it out of the air with his mouth.Overall: this is a pretty tough little product. If your dog likes to chew, I think that is your dog's issue not the product. Similarly, if you use with minimally given the limitations, this should last for a long for a long time. It isn't puncture proof (most dogs will out those canines through the canvas and plastic areas at some point), but it hasn't compromised the ball. I really like this item. It is a bit pricey, but given that I have gone the cheap toy route before, I have noticed that those cheap items just don't last at all.

Two very happy dogs would like to say thanks for making this Chuck it! Loads of fun and very sturdy. This is probably our 4th ball (who’s counting) This isn’t because they are not durable - they are. They just get carted around constantly.

This toy is my dog's FAVORITE!! Soft for her mouth and perfect for her to herd and chase (she's a shepherd hehe). She usually has very little interest in toys and most things have been a hit or a miss, but even with balls being the most popular for her, this kick fetch ball makes her FERAL. Great for kicking like a soccer ball, throwing, or even just doing a scramble on her own. The ridges also make it fun for her to grip unlike a soccer ball which is a huge plus for us. The only thing I will say is that because of its soft material, I would suggest is keeping an eye on them as they play because the soft foam might tear for rough chewers like my pup. Overall I am very happy with this purchase and it was 100% worth the money!

My dog is obsessed and plays with this ball every day - I purchased it almost a year and a half ago, so it has wear and tear but still holds. Be careful with sizes; this one is great for large dogs (50-60 lbs). No squeaks.

Se lo compré a mi Pitbull y está encantado. Si es cierto que no le va a durar mucho tiempo porque es un cachorro y son perros potentes de mordida pero merece la pena por lo que juega con ella. Además le dura más que una pelota “normal”

Destroyed quickly, but loves it. I really wish it was more durable.I've purchased another toy for my Hulk from Chuckit! and it's long-lasting, safe indoors, and loads of fun. He can chew it forever and hasn't made a dent. He's had it for 2 weeks now and we play fetch outdoors and indoors with it... the ChuckIt! Ultra Ball Dog Toy, Durable High Bounce Floating Rubber Dog Ball. He loves it! I just wanted a bigger version of it but this one did not last unfortunately.

Hands down one of the BEST dog toy brands out there.I have a shepherd/husky mix that makes destroying toys a sport and she really does love a good soccer ball, but those are ripped to shreds within 1-2 weeks because she likes to peel them like oranges with her teeth. The longest most dog toys last are 7-10 days. After that, I’m left picking stuffing and bits of rubber out of cracks and crevices.I usually buy the little balls you can use with the thrower thing, but they’re small and we lose a lot of them behind furniture and in long grass outaide. She’s never lost one because she’s destroyed it, though, and she really chomps down on these things. We received this particular ball on March 4. It’s now the 17th.There are puncture marks all over the ball, sure, but not a single actual puncture.There was a small, white fabric tag that she has mostly chewed off, but that’s about it.Even if she does manage to finally destroy this ball, I will happily purchase another. It is her absolute favourite toy and we can’t lose it in the house, so she’s had far less destructive behaviour (ie: shoes, furniture and clothing being chewed on) because she can always find this toy!Enjoy a short video of her trying to encourage me to kick the ball. You can see all her teeth marks on the ball, but it’s still holding strong!

Mon chien l'adore ! La qualité est au top et les creux à l'intérieur de la balle permettent de l'attraper facilement, ainsi que la texture légèrement molle en surface pour pouvoir mordre correctement.

GénialEnfin un ballon résistant pour nos poilus!😍
