My dog is obsessed with this toy. She loves for her ball to be thrown and this is the only ball we've found that she keeps going back to. No other balls live up to her expectations like this one. Unfortunately I think Hartz is phasing this toy out. We used to be able to buy it at Wal-Mart and now we can't find it anywhere. Luckily for my dog, we stocked up for some reason a long time ago. She loves to chew on it but it doesn't wear out. It's very easy to clean and she actually loves to drop it in the bathtub and have us throw it for her.

I meant to put it as not very annoying. But the thing was confusing when I was reviewing it and it ended up saying very annoying. The ball itself is not annoying, but if you have a dog that likes to have you throw the ball all the time, I guess that could be a problem.

Pros: Easy for my dog to chew on. She can fit it in her mouth very well. Bounces well but easy for my dog to catch in her mouth.

Cons: It sometimes gets smelly.
