 Built tough! January 5, 2009
It is about the size of a tennis ball, and seems to be pretty tough. I was a little skeptical because we have a dog that loves to chew, we have only had a few weeks and it has been holding up fine. The food or treats have to be pretty small to get in the hole, but it just takes the dogs that much longer to get out.
 Found listing misleading January 2, 2009
Since Amazon was showing to buy the everlasting treats with the fun ball on the same page, I thought they went together. Read page carefully. There is no way to get these things in the ball! However, if you have the right kind of small treat you can put in there that won't get soggy or be too frustrating for them to try and get at, this can be a a satisfying chew toy for them. The rubber does hold up very well.
 Piece of crap - It got chewed up in 1 day December 10, 2008

Piece of crap - I actually returned this cause my dog disintegrated it in one day. I had blue pieces of plastic all over the house. She didn't even like the treat in the middle.
Taz Approved! December 2, 2008
A great enrichment activity for your dog!br /br /I have Parson Russell Terrier who, like most PRT/JRT, is smart as a whip and easily bored. He also eats his meals in 22 seconds flat out of his bowl... he would be back begging for more immediately because it wasn't even registering that he had eaten.br /br /I spent about a half hour in a big box pet store looking at the variety of treat dispensing balls before deciding on this one, and it turned out to be a great choice. The soft but durable material is perfect for on hardwood floors, and though we got the large size, it is really perfect for Taz to roll around. Even after two months, I find myself watching him eat almost every day because he is just having such a great time figuring out just what direction to roll the ball for maximum payoff and crawling under the chairs and other obstacles to follow the ball and the food.br /br /I am planning on buying several more so that I don't have to fill one before every meal because Taz goes absolutely nuts at the sound of it being filled, and it just takes much longer than grabbing a cup of food.br /br /I use "small bite" dog food bits in our JRT's Everlasting Fun Ball without any real problem... I just hold the ball with the bottom hole resting on my left palm while I fill it through a funnel stuck into the top hole with my right (we use a new motor oil funnel that we cut about an inch below the wide part where you pour into). Even though the small bites do come out fairly easily, it still takes Taz 4-8 minutes to eat now, plus another minute to retrace his path to make sure he didn't miss any. Talk about a HUGE improvement! I will probably adapt one or two of the new balls to take regular size food and mix the two kibble sizes together for in there to give him a slightly different rolling experience - that way he'll never know what to expect when I put the ball down.
 Not just for chewers December 1, 2008

I bought this for my dog to keep her busy when she's alone in the house. She didn't take much interest in the kong that everyone raves about. She's not really a chewer, so I cut two of the tiny tabs off one of the holes to make the kibble fall out with less manipulation. Now she can just roll it around the kitchen, and a few pieces of kibble fall out with each roll. I put her whole meal inside, and it keeps her occupied for a while. Just a side note, although I have a medium sized dog, I bought the large sized ball in order to fit her whole meal in it. I would have given five stars if I didn't have to cut some tabs out in order for her to enjoy it.
