JW Pet Hol-ee Roller Dog Toy Balls at Linens 'n Things

I thought these balls might last at least a few days. My Pit Bull had his torn apart in less than ten minutes.

These balls - we have various sizes - are terrific dog toys. Easy to throw far (enough). Easy and safe for dogs to catch in the air; easy for them to grab. Great for tug-of-war, including dog-to-dog. And safe to throw in the house, within reason. They last for years. I have 2 dogs and one is a real power-chewer. For some reason he does not chew these up, nor does my puppy. My 16-lb pup can pick up and carry around even the large size ball. They're all great.

This is BY FAR the BEST toy for outdoor play with my dogs that Ive purchased. I have two medium-sized dogs; a bully breed mix and a corgi mix. These two dogs like to play together with me outside and are very hard on toys. They get tired of hard toys and like something with a rubbery feel. However, finding something they can't tear up during play is hard. We usually play fetch. This involves the dogs chasing a toy, grabbing it, and tugging it as they jointly return it to me. Of course, it's the tugging while running that really destroys the toys. In part, this is because they have very different tug styles. The bully breed just uses brute force to try and jerk it away from the corgi mix. In contrast, the corgi mix tries to twist the toy out of the bully breed's mouth. In any case, this ball has survived months of regular outdoor play with no tears in the rubber. I can hardly even find teeth marks. It is very durable and we're thrilled with it. With all that being said, this is a toy for play with your dogs, not a chew toy for doggie-only play time. In fact, the only damage this ball has suffered was done when I mistakenly left them alone with it for 2 minutes. They were able to quickly rip one of the rectangles away from a joint. On the up side, the tear did not cause the ball to loose integrity, bounce, etc. It still works well, and the tear does not seem to create a weak spot resulting in the rest of the ball being pulled apart easily during play. It's survived with a tear for a month or so now.

I bought this based on the review that said it held up against a labrador retriever, however my golden retriever bit through the rubber "web" within 15 minutes of me giving him this toy. It then instantly became a health concern for me, thinking what happens if he swallows all the bits he's chewed off? So it's sitting on top of my bookshelf now, and I don't know if I will let him play with it again. Totally not worth the money and very disappointed.

This toy has been through three puppy stages and is in the same shape the day we brought it home (albeit a bit dirtier). It's a favorite at the dog park and I'm glad I found this online so I can direct other pet parents where to buy. It's durable enough for a Cairn to hold onto and be picked up off the ground by the ball. It's a great toy.

My westie who generally loves all balls totally ignored it!

My dogs love this. We have the jumbo size and I squeezed a squeaky tennis ball inside for tons of fun.

I bought the 6.5" one and it didn't stand up to my 2 dogs playing. It may be rubber, but it can't take rough tug play. I have a beagle and a lab and they had it tore up in 3 days. I recommend the Holee Molee extra thick ball. Too bad though; it isn't available in larger sizes.

We have a Siberian Husky and loves this ball, first I put a tennis ball in it and she would play for awhile and try to get it out then I decided to put a $1.99 squeaky ball inside and she went nuts. Now I can't get it away from her. Great Product, I will buy more.

My dogs have always loved their fleece toys but they remove the squeeker within minutes and then it falls apart. The other toys have just never had much appeal until we bought the Hol-ee Roller and my dogs love it. I have three English Springers and one of them has always got it in their mouth, in fact we have to hide when we go to bed. I have been raising dogs for 12 years and I have never seen a toy enjoyed so much. I am buying several more!!

I have an active Boston terrier and he just loves this ball! It is easy for him to catch and carry in his mouth. He also likes to use it to play tug-a-war with us or even with our other dog. He plays with it all the time yet it has outlasted many of his other toys. We will always have one or two of these around for him!

I had a few dogs at the daycare that were moderately interested until I squeazed 4 or 5 tennis balls inside and all the dogs went wold for it. They love the way it makes it jiggle around unpredictably.
