Our 11 month old puppy (Mauzer - Maltese/Miniature Schnauzer mix) loves this Chuckit Kick Fetch Toy Ball. We got the small size ball for him since he is a small dog and he only weights about 15 lbs. When we showed him the ball the first day it was delivered, he was super excited. In his mind, it was like "yay... new toy... new big toy!". As we walked to the dog park, he couldn't contain himself. He was jumping with excitement and pulling us to walk faster toward the dog park. In the dog park, we would either kick or toss the ball for him and he would go after the ball and bring it back for more.Our little guy is a heavy chewer. He would chew through his toys in a couple days if he wanted to. We have toys that lasted for 5 minutes, 30 minutes, hours, days, weeks, and/or months. It all depends on his mood and what he wants to destroy. He usually destroys toys when he is super bored (his way of entertaining himself). We would say this Chuckit Kick Fetch Toy Ball is very durable. Easy to wash/clean when it gets dirty. We would only give him the ball when we play fetch with him. We don't leave him alone with the ball knowing he would probably chew it up.We give the ball a 5 star for durability, easy to clean and cheaper on (costs more at Petco or Petsmart).
