WEST PAW Zogoflex Jive Ball Dog Chew Toy – Bouncing Toys for Dogs, Fetch, Catch, Chewing, Play – Floatable, Recyclable Balls – Latex-Free, Non-Toxic, Dishwasher Safe Dog Toy, X-Small 2", Aqua Blue

Man, do we love these balls! They are one of the few toys that our household (corgi, rottie cross, rottweiler, hound) don't destroy, in fact they don't even really mark them up. The corgi is the fetch addict, and she'll chase and bring back these balls until she's about to keel over. The rottweiler likes to carry a different ball around and escort the corgi as she fetches. The rottie/mutt/cross will sometimes get into the fetch action, and the hound essentially ignores all toys with good-natured gravitas. We actually bought a couple of lacrosse sticks to enhance our ability to throw these things across our acreage, specifically the 'STX Lacrosse Stallion 50 Youth Lacrosse Complete Stick'. Some of the older/younger household members don't have major league pitching arms, so using the lacrosse sticks lets them get some real distance going. One thing to keep in mind is that these balls are pretty dense and heavy, so be sure you don't fling them towards anything breakable, like pottery, windows, glassware, eyeglasses, etc, because they'll smash right through them and keep on going. Also be sure to not fling them on intercept vectors with your dogs, because they could give them a pretty good clonking, although I don't think any permanent damage is likely. We bought the 3.25" size because it's a) small enough for the corgi to carry as long as she holds it right, and b) too large for our other dogs to get lodged in their throats and choke. Speaking of safety, the balls also have a grooved/swooped indented area around them that would also serve to allow a dog to breath (minimally until gotten to help) if they got it stuck in their throat. We are using this combination to replace the tennis racket and tennis ball combo that was previously used just for the corgi, because tennis balls are too dangerous for our larger dogs. However, the primary throwers for the corgi needed some help getting distance on these larger/heavier balls. Bottom line is that we *highly* recommend these balls, and also a lacrosse stick for real distance throwing.

As a dog owner of 14 dogs over 20 years, I've gone through a few dog toys. Once I discovered WestPaw dog toys that was it. There is no other brand that I buy now. The Zogoflex line of toys are the BEST! No chemicals, durable, safest and even my pickiest dogs play with them! I love that I don't have to worry about the material ripping up a dog's intestines if they ingest parts of it. Yes, I have had a power chewer of a dog damage the Bumi, she chewed off the end. It broke into little bits, all soft, not sharp edges anywhere, the parts she ate passed through here with no problems what so ever. And the toy was still very usable. The Jive ball is quite heavy but will still bounce a few times. Good for chewers. My dogs prefer the Rando but play with the Jive as well. I have owned the Zisc for almost 5 years now. It is one of the favorite toys and is played with daily. It has finally given way in the middle and has a flap hanging from it, but that doesn't stop it from flying or the dogs from playing with it. Bottom line is , if you want to best for you dog ( and your money) you want WestPaw dog toys. ( No I am not being paid to advertise. My dogs just know quality when they chew it ;) and I listen to them)

Our dog is a pitbull Jack Russell mix. He very aggressive chewer. He destroys everything he gets his mouth on. We purchased him some Kong balls and he literally destroyed them. We decided when we were at dogs training. We picked up one of these West paw balls. I called the yellow one. He has like been able to destroy that ball whatsoever my wife and I deciding to get him another West Paw ball color, orange because West Paw way better than Kong Toys and I will say 1000% better. Since our dog does like to chew a lot, we always say damn there’s nothing Scrappy doo proof. We would highly recommend this brand of dog toys for your pet especially if you like to destroy Toys. This toy is very indestructible. We have purchased many different products from Kong dog toys, and we will never do it again it’s a waste of money. We expect this to last him for a while. Our dog scrappy is well worth the investment. We love our dog and we want nothing but the best for him.

Best dog toy ever. My dog loves, loves, loves this ball! It bounces like a super ball and he can play with it even by his self:)

Update 6 months later... this ball is on its last legs. She figured out how to obsessively nibble on the edges of the curve feature and slowly pick away tiny bits off. I think she's ingesting some of them and I'm tired of having to pick up pieces off the floor. I'm sad it didn't last longer. But she has spent hundreds on hours playing with this ball. It has been her absolute favorite toy. She's learned how to fling the ball at our feet from a distance so we will toss or roll out back to her. I'm a bit torn on buying another one, now that she has learned how to destroy it. We're going to try another brand (that makes an indestructible dough nut that's held up better) for a ball and see what happens, before buying this one again. My lab has destroyed every single "tough" toy I can find in stores local to me, within a matter of hours. Even several "indestructible" toys bought online only lasted a few hours. She's a relentless power chewers, and nipper, I think it's this tiny bites with her front teeth that do all the toys in for a destructive death. THIS BALL IS AMAZING. She loves that it bounces a little unpredictably, keeping her engaged. She can carry it around like a proper proud pup. And she can chew and chew and NOTHING has broken off of it in the 2 weeks that she's been 100% obsessed with it. I will say... because ofv the density of the ball, when it lands on or hard floors, it does make considerable noise. Which gets annoying. But honestly, it's keeping her busy, so I'll take it. I know I don't have long term (like months) with this thing yet. But honestly, the fact that it's lived this long, I'm willing to buy it again if it was to fail after a month.

My GSD is really hard on balls and this is has been a very durable ball. He loves to play with it and it’s solid, like rock solid. It is not squishy at all. I highly recommend this ball.

My grandsons new puppy loved all the toys . They are really well made so they should last a long time . His favorite was the bear and moose . But he’ll get a lot of use out of them all

Dogs love bounce great it also holds up with their chewing wish.It was a little bit bigger

Muy buen producto, mi perrita no deja de morder la pelota y está intacta.

Repeat purchase. These balls are TOUGH. My English mastiff wasn’t able to destroy them and my German shepherd lives for them. Great weight for throwing and the size fits nicely in the hand. Bonus of not getting soggy so that retrieving in rain or snow is still fun. Only reason for having more than one is that occasionally the shepherd wanders off with one to have a peaceful chomping moment and this way I’ve a backup ball until I figure out where he’s stashed the other one. Another plus is the orange colour stands out decently in all seasons for those hide and seek moments.

Love the bounciness and our 2 poodles love the random bounces due to its shape. Although there is some give to the rubber, it seems durable. We don’t leave it out as ‘chew toy’...we give them cheaper alternatives.

We have to be careful what toys we get our Staffy. She isn’t destructive on purpose but normal toys don’t last 5 mins with her. We bought the large ball and bone. They are expensive but truly built to last and worth every penny as she loves them. The apple green is a lovely colour too.

Excellente! Résistante avant tout pour mon Staffie dévoreur de jouets dits 'à toute épreuve' ✊
