 Quality Control has gone downhill over timeNov 29, 2008
By Klondike Kid
My Yellow Lab Jake is now 3 1/2 yo and a 110 pounder. And from puppyhood to present I have purchased the appropriate-sized Tuff Balls for him to play with and abuse. Indeed a few years ago these products, both the giant size and the normal size tennis balls were MUCH more durable than any regular tennis ball. The most impressive part of the product was the adhesive or glue they used to seal the two halves together. Big dogs love to chew and bite anything squishy and these held up well without separation for a long time each.
But I have to say I won't be purchasing any more of this product. The last two bags of normal size and my last Giant size Tuff ball all exhibited the same flaw. After very little play (balls still looks new on cover material) I noticed that every one of them had separated the two halves under the fuzz cover. Two separate pair of normal size balls purchased at different times and a new Giant purchased months apart from the others. Apparently the adhesive or vulcanization process sealing the balls has changed where these no longer remain sealed after minimal play inside the house by Jake. It was a good idea and good concept for the early years of this product, too bad QC at their manufacturing end has dropped the ball (no pun intended) and has created an inferior product compared to a normal tennis ball now. I hope they read this and correct the problem. These were purchased in 07 and early 08.

 Tuff for all of 3 minutesSep 04, 2010
By DanielleNicole
I bought this ball for my dog because of some reviews I saw calling this brand of ball 'almost indestructible.' Unfortunately, it didn't live up to those reviews. Within 2 minutes my dog had split the two halves and within 3 he had a good sized hole in the felt covering. My dog is a power chewer and maybe this would be good for a dog that doesn't chew as much - but if you have a power chewer on your hands don't bother with this ball. The few minutes of fun wasn't worth the money.

 Our Dog won't put it down....Jan 11, 2008
By dangme
I seen the size of this ball when it arrived and was abit shocked. We have a big dobie and he loves his tennis balls. He normally plays with a new tennis ball for a couple of days, then tears them apart by "dehairing" them and biting them in two. He absolutely loves this "big" tennis ball. He hates to even put it down. I was shocked to see we could still play catch with it's size, but he has no problem catching it. He hasn't even thought about destroying this ball and it's been 4 weeks with it now. If you have a big dog, this is the ball for him/her.

4 out of 4 PawsAug 24, 2007
By M. Brown

First Impression: Now let me start off by saying I'm a tennis ball aficionado. I can entertain myself for hours playing soccer, trowing the ball for myself, bouncing it off peoples feet so they don't even know they are playing, etc. But tennis balls tend to fray and Dad doesn't like it when I start pulling off the felt. Plus with enough time I can split a tennis ball wide open. So the wonderful folks over at Petsport came through again, and sent me some Tuff Balls! Word around the dog park is they have a 4 inch model too. I need to get my huge paws on one of those!
Conclusion: Tuff Balls are industrial strength, extra thick, non-toxic, and colorfast! If your puppy love tennis balls as much as I do, I would highly recommend trying Tuff Balls! I've been chewing on mine for days and except for the dog hair that's stuck on it, it's just like new.
A normal tennis ball is more durable...Mar 22, 2012
By alex
I have a 90 pound dobie. He loves playing catch and then keeping the ball so that he can chew on it later. Only problem with that is he makes very short order of them. Within 1 hour of chewing, the ball usually gives up, resulting in two halves held together by a thread and my doberman looking for the next one. I figured he would love this ball. He totally did! Why wouldnt he love a ball that is twice the size of a normal tennis ball, is designed specifically for chewing, does not get confiscated by it's owner, and lasts about 15 minutes before it's demolished?
While my dobie is psyched about this, i am not. I payed 6 bucks for a ball that my dog demolished in a quarter of the time it usually takes to destroy a wilson brand ball. Dont waste your time/money on this peice of garbage.
