Chuckit! Indoor Fumbler Toy for Dogs - Interactive Dog Toys for Boredom, 7.5 Inch, Orange and Blue Roller

Our rescue border collie has turned into a circus seal. She loves this. It took a few days for her to really take to it, but now she’s created her own nightly routine. We toss the ball gently and she “boops” it back at us with just her nose. The trajectory goes off course sometimes, but it’s perfectly safe because it’s so light and soft/fluffy. She’s not a big toy ripper, but our Mastiff was clearly a seamstress in his previous life. We’ve had to stop him a few times trying to pull off individual puffs and finding the seams to rip. I love that there’s no squeaker in this! It gives her lots of exercise when she has to go chasing it around the living room. Because of the football shape, it doesn’t bounce or roll around in a way she can anticipate. It feels like the inside is a “nerf” football. Soft, light, and gives easily when squeezed so it’s gentle on her teeth as well. Perfect size for a 40lb dog. Because of the football shape, it’s probably fine for larger dogs, especially gentle giants. This has definitely become her favorite indoor toy. We’ve had great experiences with the Chuck it brand.

5th one purchased for dogs (but we play with them too)!

Great for indoor play, just don't leave it down because your dog will easily pick pull and pluck it apart. It's lifetime is extended, if you only bring it or for play

My dog really loves this toy. He’s a 5yr old border collie. He doesn’t work at tearing up his toys but he does shake his toys. I bought his 1st Chuckit it indoor football over 3yrs ago. It held up very well and had normal wear and tear I’d expect from a chuckit toy to have. It developed a small tear in fabric about 6months ago. As it was still mainly intact, I let him continue to play with it. Then the tear widened and I felt good time to replace, so I ordered one from Amazon. He was ecstatic to have a new one. I was quite disappointed though as in under a week from giving it to him(he’s always supervised during play so I do know what he does with his toys and he doesn’t work at them to tear them up) I noticed a tear down the seam that was bigger than the other one had for 6months. Over the next few days, tear widened. Now cover is completely off of inside. I’m really disappointed in the quality. I’m not sure if the quality of the toy is less than when I got his first one(which I bought in a pet store such as petsmart) or if for some reason because I purchased on amazon, they are of lesser quality. I do know for a fact as I supervise his play and with his favorite toys(and usually his spendier toys) they get put up when it’s not play time. He has his other toys that he can play with anytime. I have ran also into Kong toys (Wubba) that has come apart quickly in under a month,but those were both bought on amazon and at a retail store, so I don’t know if amazon is distributing toys of lesssr quality or if toy brands that have held up in past (Kong Wubba & this Chuckit football) are just being made of lesser quality. My dog’s style of play hasn’t changed nor has his supervision. That being said, my dog absolutely LOVES this toy. I want other users to be forewarned that I’ve had 2 of this product for my dog, they both developed a tear down seam, that eventually led to outer fabric shell coming off of the inner part of the toy. Yes my dog does shake his toys but 1st lasted over 3yrs, 2nd lasted less than a month and is in worse condition than the first. I may purchase this toy again as it’s one of his favorites just to see if the 2nd one was a fluke. Had I paid more than $6.19(I’m a prime member and it was an add on product) I most likely wouldn’t purchase a third one. I’m willing to see if the third one will last at least a yr. if it starts coming apart in less than a week again, I’ll have my answer which would be that chuckit has resorted to making their toys of lessor quality. I hope that’s not the case because they are one of only a couple of brands I hold in high regard for their good quality and durable dog toys. Please see picture. It’s his toy in less than a month. The outer material came off during play last night. It lasted less than a month from time I gave it to him to play with. 5/22/18 update. I bought him a 3rd indoor fumblr, it last almost 3 months...I ordered him a 4th one. I gave it to him Friday, today is Tuesday, his 4th one is already coming apart at the seams. When I ordered 4th fumblr, I bought 2 at the same time, they were $5.19 each(prime member add on price). I’m glad I did because now they are twice the price at now over $10. I very highly doubt I will buy another indoor fumblr unless price drops in half again. This last one that I gave him 4-5days ago, it hasn’t been his daily favorite toy. He’s maybe played with it a couple hrs each day. My dog really LOVES this toy. I’m moving my rating down to a 1 Star from 2 as this toy has consistently come apart rather quickly. I’m very disappointed in the quality of this toy. He’s 5 1/2yrs Old now. 1st fumblr last over 3yrs, he’s gone through the other 3 in under 6months...had I paid over $10 each time, I probably would’ve stopped after the 3rd fumblr came apart. as it is now, I won’t but any more fumblrs by chuckit at this price....if price drops, after he’s gone through the 5th one I have put up...I may consider it...but not at over $10 for a toy that comes apart through normal play in under 5 days...

Fun toy for an active dog. My Malanoix hasn't destroyed it yet so it is well made and sturdy.

We LOVE these at my house and don’t even use the “chuck it” part of the toy (just the ball). If you have a destructive dog, this toy is NOT for you! However, my dogs (4 pibbles, a lab mix and a shih-tzu who thinks she’s a rottie) love these! They’re filled with a very dense foam (as opposed to fluffy cotton, balls or pellets) and can handle a strong bite and even some tugging. They’re heavy enough to throw a decent distance but won’t hurt your dog (or a person) if you have bad aim and someone gets popped in the face! :) After a few months of routine & rigorous play, they inevitably begin to unravel or have small tears and although they could still be used, I replace them since they’re cost effective and I don’t want anyone eating the strings (all dog rescuers & owners know about the dreaded “poop-strings” HAHA) or the inside foam (choking hazard). I recommend these for dogs who love balls, love fetch or catch and like to chew (like bubble gum) but are not destructive. My big dogs are strong chewers, but not destructive with any toys so this is a toy we enjoy playing with in & outdoors! Easy to wash also!!

Great ball but if your dog is a chewer, it does not last long. 24 hours for my dog.

I have a very picky boy and rarely does he act like a pup anymore since he’s seven years old and 90 pounds. This is by far his favorite toy. The only thing I wish is that we would make it a little bit more durable.
