I recently bought this toy for my 10-month-old Shih-Tzu, Missy, who loves to chew. She was really excited about it when I got it out of the package. I put a small biscuit-type treat in it (not Kong brand, as I didn't have any of those) and a week later, the treat is still in the ball. It did keep her attention a good bit the first day but, since then, she shows only occasional interest in the ball. I guess I'm not clear on how the treat-dispensing component of this ball works--or perhaps you have to use Kong brand treats. I was hoping that this was going to keep her interest longer for when I am away from home, since she has separation anxiety.

I'm very happy that the ball is so sturdy. She has spent some time chewing on it and chasing it around and it still looks brand new.

I have a 14 year-old 40 lb American Eskimo that can clean out the medium red Kong toys in no time flat--even if I freeze them and get creative with my stuffing. I switched to the medium black Kong toys for more aggressive chewers, and that slows her down a little. But this ball toy tops them all.
I use the Kong Snaps, Stuff 'n' spray and Ziggies, and she'll usually wear out and curl up, satisfied, before it's empty. She's never really been interested in fetching, but this toy never fails to excite her and ignite her hunt instinct.

I have a small dog and within minutes she had parts of this Kong toy chewed off. I purchased the Kong because of its high ratings with other consumers but it is not the item if you have a dog with sharp teeth who chews toys up in minutes.

this toy is awful. it claims its a kong toy but in the matter of 12 hours, it was already torn apart by my dog. DO NOT BUY, IT WILL NOT LAST!

My puppy liked this toy much better than the regular kong. It was real easy to stuff the inside with dry kibble that would slowly fall out as well as putting peanut butter inbetween the lil ridges.
Keeps her busy for a long time, and she hasn't managed to destroy it.
