I just spent 5 minutes debating what to put in for a subject line...........I am trying to get opioions / recommendations on a good tuff ball for a 14 week old puppy. So I started with Puppy Balls (nope that doesn't sound good), than tried Ball Toys (still a little shaky), maybe Kong Balls (say those in the pet store, but no too much like King Kong), anyway you see my dilemma!

Delilah LOVES playing with balls but so far she has tore apart tennis balls, racket balls, bouncy balls, etc. I saw these "Kong Balls" at the pet store, anyone try these and do your dogs still tear them apart?

Thanks so much, Terri

I gave my Lucy a Jolly ball. Within 1/2hr. she had the handle totally chewed off. Since it's hollow inside, she was then able to work on the rest of the ball. The solid red Kong ball is great for her. That and Nylabones last the longest here.  Oh, and I forgot to add deer antlers.

I think Zoe's goal in life is to destroy every toy or ball that I bring into the house!  But for some reason she has not destroyed this Sprong ball that I picked up at Walmart, mind you it is missing a couple cones but it is still in tact and it still squeaks!  It comes in two sizes and I bought the larger one.

I have one of th LED balls for the dogs.  I have had it for about 9 years now.  It is very, very sturdy and it still lights up when you throw it.  You can google it.  They used to sell them at PetSmart, but I do not remember seeing them the last time I was there.

My husband got this Kong brand toy for Bella this past weekend. It took her a little bit to decide what to do with it. She hasn't yet destroyed it...(I credit a few days of life due to her confusion by how to play with it). It seems fairly tough...HOWEVER, now that she has decided it is worth attention she mostly just carries it around the house...and smacks every door jam, entry way wall, ornaments off the tree, and knocked a mug of coffee off the coffee table and onto the couch and floor. Highly recommend NOT getting this toy   Though it is hilarious to watch her try and shake it around death shake style like her rope toys...as it is not at all that flexible.

The other thing my guys love are the Kong Wubbas. Definitely not a toy they can be left alone with, but it's great for play time . (Especially Shiraz who likes to do the "dance of death" with it: Grabs the wubba by one of the "tails" and repeatedly swings and bangs the ball end into the ground. I fear this is how she would deal with a small critter if I ever let her catch one .)

 I have had the BEST luck with the orange and blue Chuckit! balls.   We had a white shepherd that chewed rocks that couldnt chew them up and our 8 month old GSP Summit who chews EVERYTHING can't get through their toughness.   They are a little pricey, but indestructible.
