I have 2 Pomeranians (5 lb and 7lb) and they both love these balls way more than others. I believe it’s because these are easier to grab due to the holes in them. They are also easy to chew and seem very durable.

It’s a great fetch ball but don’t use it as a chew toy. I saw some particles fall off when he was chewing on it in his free time. It might fall apart for great chewers. Great play toy. Easy to hold for my poochon.

I have a Biewer who is an extremely aggressive chewer. That little dog loves the tiny tennis balls but distroys them in about 10 minutes.
These balls are perfect. She can fetch them and carry them in her mouth easily. She has not managed to destroy them yet which is a big bonus.
They are more expensive…but you get what you pay for.

The Chuckit! Air Fetch Ball Dog Toy is the ultimate playtime companion for active pups. With a medium size suitable for dogs weighing 20-60 lbs, this durable ball provides hours of entertainment and exercise. Its lightweight design allows for effortless fetching and retrieval, while the bright colors ensure high visibility during play. However, some users may find that the ball loses its buoyancy over time. Overall, this toy is a favorite among dogs and their owners alike, offering endless fun and earning a strong four-star rating

UPDATE/ while I take full responsibility for allowing it, this ball has almost zero resistance to chewing. I was able to avoid any damage at home since the pup was close, but at the dog park and 40+ feet away it only took a few moments to rip it in two places. It still throws, but (for me) it is only for highly supervised backyard tossing….also…it floats./UPDATE
I just got this in today and immediately took it out to the backyard for a trial run.
The price point ($12.67 for 1 medium ball) is a bit steep, but my 3 y/o pitbull absolutely loves this ball (once he gets over the initial “Hey! This isn’t my ball…”). It already seems like he is able to play longer and it does sound like his breathing is noticeably less restricted. He absolutely loves all things chuckit (we have at least 1 of just about every medium ball they offer), but in addition to his love of playing fetch, he has a tendency to keep the ball in his mouth as he is trotting around the dog park, and even when he stops for a rest. I hadn’t really considered that it might reduce his play duration by restricting his breathing, but it makes sense conceptually. The other balls won’t be going into full retirement, but depending on how he takes to it, this one might be getting top billing in the rotation.
The concept (and apparent execution, so far) of this ball design is pretty slick.
Initial thoughts: the design is notably lighter and the ball doesn’t fly as far or fast as the other chuckit balls. It also doesn’t bounce nearly as well (this makes sense, but is worth noting when considering it).
One reviewer mentioned their dog destroying it, and I would certainly expect that to happen with most dogs since there are so many gaps/holes for them to since claws and teeth into. We don’t generally leave our pups unsupervised with any chuckit balls anyway, but this ball will be one that is 100% supervised only.
I look forward to giving this a full blown test at the dog park.
*note: the petmate website (parent company of chuckit) has these for a better price, especially if you buy multiple…it might not be prime, but I don’t NEED to get it in two days

Perfect for a small dog that doesn’t chew chew up toys . Our dog doesn’t like catching real hard balls so this one is great. Can be used indoors.

We had the smaller version of this ball and it was our dogs’ favourite toy.
Their most favourite game though was to roll it under the sofa and bark until we got it for them.
So we got this larger version and they loved it just as much.
I think these balls last forever, but they’re soft so won’t hurt the dogs or anything they bounce against.
But then I made the mistake of getting them a screaming chicken, and now that’s their favourite toy!

These balls are perfect for our frenchie. They allow her to breathe while it’s in her mouth and she can also get a good grip on it. I expect them to last a good while but definitely not as indestructible as a solid ball.

Incrivelmente eficiente para o meu buldogue francês. Por conta da dificuldade respiratória de cães braquicefálicos, aqueles conhecidos por apresentarem uma cabeça de formato “achatado” e o focinho de tamanho “encurtado”, tais como pug, o buldogue, o pequinês, o shitzu e o lhasa apso, essa bolinha libera a passagem de ar quando está na boca do cão, evitando um bloqueio do fluxo respiratório e melhorando a disposição do animal para brincar com ela enquanto corre. Palmas para quem inventou esse brinquedo.

These are brilliant! My bulldogs favorite ball.
They are bouncy. Perfect for playing fetch. She also likes to put the whole thing in her mouth and chew on it sometimes. We have the medium and large. I like the large size because I’m nervous she will get the smaller ones somehow stuck in her throat. But because of the way they are made it makes me feel better about at least being able to breathe.
Excellent quality and durability!
*Update.* The balls can’t be expected to last forever, especially when playing fetch and tug of war with them. And yes they work well for that since I can easily hook my finger on the ball to get ahold. It’s been over 6 months and there are some areas that are worn down and beginning to break apart. However, I’m impressed on how well these hold up to daily play. I cannot praise these enough.
The only thing that I’d like to see is more colors since my Gracie doesn’t want to share with her new brother.

For any dog addicted to balls, these are perfect. Soft on their teeth, yet extremely durable. Highly recommend.
