My dogs absolutely love this ball but there is a huge issue and wish I would have read the reviews before buying. Over time of herding the ball, it has worn down the teeth to very sharp points. This is the reason for a 3 star and not a 1 because the dogs love the ball so much. I wish they made this size ball in the rubber like the soccer ball. Please consider this in the future!

GSD LOVES this ball! Will spend 30-45 minutes happily pushing, chasing, and mimicing the moves of top soccer players - running and alternating between his legs. HOWEVER, big downside in our personal experience...the lack of a neoprene or other "cover" has caused very large hygromas on the inside of his legs. I've tried wrist sweatbands, purchased leg guards that are used post surgery, and an actual slip on vest-like leg product typically used for post surgery to protect the dog's legs. Unfortunately, only temporary solutions as they all slip off during active running and play time. PLEASE consider making a protective cover that has both sturdy outside material that can withstand "teeth" as well as with some type of "cushion" to protect the bony protrusions of a large dog's legs. Again, a wonderful toy that satisfies the herding breed's energy and enthusiasm to herd, but really requires thoughtful consideration of the health ramifications to daily play sessions.

This is far and away the best toy I've ever gotten for my dog! She's a bit of a spaz and she's got a ton of energy. All I have to do it take her out with her jolly ball for 20 minutes and, voila! She's happily exhausted!

My pup immediately goes outside to find her ball and then goes pee later. The ball it the priority. Best thing ever for a high energy dog.
