I need to write this review to spread the word. Today 9/12/2025 our dog choked to death from one of these balls. We have always bought these balls as it’s something that lasts longer for our Shepard’s. This morning we went through our same routine he had the ball and then suddenly he was gagging and foaming bad at his mouth, that is when i realized he had the ball lodged in his throat. It was lodge to the point we were unable to get it out. we couldn’t get it out the police couldn’t get it out and he passed. It was too late. I’m saying this with a broken heart please just be aware if you purchase these and to be safe buy the ones that are bigger. Sincerely a dog lover who wants to prevent this from happening to another dog.

The old chuckit balls are still going strong. These new balls break at the seam. Please send me replacements.

A “better” ball for my two dogs. ( a Podenco and a big Beauceron.) They love to play with it.

I bought 2 of the XL size for my husky who is only around 50lbs. Smaller than recommended for the xl, but he is a chewer. He had both popped on the seam within 5 minutes. Is there anything more durable in that size that's launcher compatible?
