Okay, so my baby girl loves, loves, LOVES playing fetch. I get two of these babies out because she chases them for hours. But they only last minutes. She is not aggressively chomping on them, maybe to adjust the ball in her mouth or when catching them, but with in two throws they split in half. I get why they do that but once they do, they are worthless, hard to throw and completely ruined. We still play with them till the felt gives way. I have gone through about 10 of these sets per week. So expensive for what you get. Still I have to buy them because they are dog friendly.

My dog was so excited to see that he got 4 new balls to play with. I purchase Chuckit because I've always had great experiences in the past. Unfortunately, within 15 minutes playing with this particular Chuckit (like a large tennis ball), it was split in the middle. In the past we have purchased the rubber ones ,however, our dog trainer informed us that they were too small for him and could pose a choking risk. So needless to say these 4 balls won't last over a week.

Opened up a new pack of these orange balls tonight and within the hour the two halves of the ball have already separated under the fabric cover. This had happened to our previous 2 balls too, but I didn't link the close timetable of falling apart until this evening. Those were thrown out. Our 10# pup has not been chewing on it. The only action is that the ball has been thrown about 8-10' within our house and our pup has been retrieving it. The slightly larger rubber Chuck-it balls have stayed intact, but not these. I suggest you stay away from making a disappointing purchase here.
