Need an Indestructible Ball for my GSD
Discussion
Hi folks, the majority of toys I buy our three year old Shepherd Tia don't last very long. I've tried the usual Pets at Home 'indestructible' toys but eventually they too are in pieces. What I would like is a ball she can chase in the park that she won't be able to chew to pieces. I've had a look at various types on ebay but some firsthand recommendations would be good. Thanks in advance.
I had one of these

Not only cheap but tough. We had it because it's too big to roll under furniture but is equally as good outside.

Thanks for this but looking at the pictures, I think my shepherd would simply put it between her paws and tear it to shreds bit by bit.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000FMFM2O?psc=...

Try one of these bento balls.

Our Westie has had one since she was a puppy and despite constant chewing of it and chasing after it along with a slight coming-together with a lawnmower, it's still going strong!

Not sure about balls but look t the kong range of toys it's he only thing or Staffy can't destroy and believe me she can destroy nearly snything boots doors skirting steel dog bowls etc
I used to have a black kong extreme which lasted a good while but eventually it, like all the others, was wrecked.I used to sell dog toys online, and always had good feedback about this range:

No dog toys are indestructible, but these come pretty close!

Not hugely helpful but our GSD likes destroying balls and the only thing that has lasted is a hollow rubber mini rugby ball, it's made from approx 5mm thick flexible rubber which allows chewing but is pretty robust and the weight means you can get a decent distance from it. We pick them up from a local garden centre for about £5, no idea what the brand is though I'm afraid.

My Mastiff and Staffs have yet to destroy these and I've had them years (they're not the most voracious of chewers though).
My Dad was a dog handler with the police. Our gsd's balls weighed about the same as a brick and I imagine could quite easily knock you unconscious if you copped one on the noggin!

Our GSD likes chasing tennis balls, but destroys the cheap ones in seconds. The Kong ones are the only ones that survive any length of time. I am sure he would destroy them too if left to chew them though. He's got a boomer ball which is too big and hard to chew, but I had to take it off him because of the ridiculous noise he was making - he gets frustrated if he can't get things in his mouth and cries, the neighbours would think I was killing him!
Boomer ball is what you require.
Logan hated it at first because he couldn't bite it but soon it got to be his favourite toy. He also had a rugby shaped one which he preferred
He would chase it around the garden all,day. It's hard plastic so not for kicking. It's more something they change around themselves .

And somewhere without anything softer than brick walls for your dog to play. Our Staffy has a large ball just too big to bite & loves to chase it around. She also chases it through things like plants, plant pots, thin fences etc etcGassing Station | All Creatures Great & Small | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
