Jolly Pets Push-N-Play Ball

My dogs absolutely love this ball but there is a huge issue and wish I would have read the reviews before buying. Over time of herding the ball, it has worn down the teeth to very sharp points. This is the reason for a 3 star and not a 1 because the dogs love the ball so much. I wish they made this size ball in the rubber like the soccer ball. Please consider this in the future!

GSD LOVES this ball! Will spend 30-45 minutes happily pushing, chasing, and mimicing the moves of top soccer players - running and alternating between his legs. HOWEVER, big downside in our personal experience...the lack of a neoprene or other "cover" has caused very large hygromas on the inside of his legs. I've tried wrist sweatbands, purchased leg guards that are used post surgery, and an actual slip on vest-like leg product typically used for post surgery to protect the dog's legs. Unfortunately, only temporary solutions as they all slip off during active running and play time. PLEASE consider making a protective cover that has both sturdy outside material that can withstand "teeth" as well as with some type of "cushion" to protect the bony protrusions of a large dog's legs. Again, a wonderful toy that satisfies the herding breed's energy and enthusiasm to herd, but really requires thoughtful consideration of the health ramifications to daily play sessions.

This is far and away the best toy I've ever gotten for my dog! She's a bit of a spaz and she's got a ton of energy. All I have to do it take her out with her jolly ball for 20 minutes and, voila! She's happily exhausted!

My pup immediately goes outside to find her ball and then goes pee later. The ball it the priority. Best thing ever for a high energy dog.

We have invested in 3 herding balls and find them the perfect exercise for excessive energy in our Blue Heeler. He uses on land and also in the lake. Great product!

! My german shepherd looooooves it.

My German Shepherd loves his 14” Jolly Herd ball he loves it so much that I have to find it from him. My problem is it’s to hard it’s rubbing the hair and skin from the side of his nose by pushing it. I hope that you can come up with one that’s not so hard I can’t let him play with it as long as he really wants to because of the bleeding and skin removal on the side of his nose.

This is my Dalmatians favorite toy ever. She goes nuts over this ball!

I have huge concerns after me dog used this toy for 2 weeks and it caused teeth wear. She loved this ball and would push it around the yard with her mouth half open. Unfortunately this led to all her K9s being worn down from the friction. I know the description warns against biting, but she didn't chew/bite the ball it was simply from the friction of the ball against her teeth. Sadly we had to take the ball away so she didn't further damage her teeth

Our lab enjoyed playing with the ball until he caught his dewclaw on the small hole and ripped it off. After severe pain and vet bills, we’ve thrown the ball away.

We've had 1 of these for more than 15 yrs and it has been well loved by 5 labs over the years! THE best toy we've ever bought. Watching the soccer games that ensue are a blast. The plug eventually fell out but it's still going strong! Our dogs love it! We have the softer balls as well but when I pull this out of the storage box they totally forget about the soft 1s!

FINALLY a ball my pitty can't destroy in a day!!!!! He absolutely LOVES his new push-n-play and it tires him out. My only suggestion would be a rounder edge to where the plug is. My poor guy scrapped his snout up.

I have a Staffordshire/Husky mix who is a just full of energy and this ball wears him out. I highly recommend this ball. I can’t even count how many previous balls I have gone through to find one tough enough and big enough for my dog. Toys last MAYBE 10 minutes before he has either chewed half of it up to get to the squeaker or just completely annihilates the toy to where it’s unrecognizable. This ball has lasted for more than 5 months. Granted he has figured out how to get his teeth into the stopper and can now carry it a foot or 2. One other downside to this ball is that he has a large tongue and while playing with it , kicking It ( I don’t kick it if his mouth is on it for all you Karen’s out there) but his long tongue and him not being able to fully latch on - he has but his tongue a time or 2 and it caused a bit of bleeding- he however did not care and wanted to keep playing with his ball. I give this ball a solid 9/10. And the entertainment it brings, watching him push it around like David Beckham is priceless.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our pittie is absolutely obsessed with this ball! He could push it around the backyard for hours if we let him!

Lilah shows no interest in the ball. She likes to be able to retrieve and I guess it’s just so big and hard that she can’t do what she wants to do with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our one year old puppy that has way more energy than one dog should have has several of the toys from Jolly. The red push and play has been the most successful at wearing her out. Her first instinct was to pull it or try to carry it but after we worked with her for about 15 mins she had it figured out. She played with it for 45 minutes the first night. She continues to go outside and play with it even on her own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a great picture of my foster GSD playing with the x-l Push n Play. Wish you had some way to attach.

My heeler absolutely loves it and is able to get his herding fix in with this ball. He likes to push with his shoulders/body so I got the largest size instead of the recommended medium. I only give 4 stars because I wish the hole to add water wasn’t there. It gives him the ability to bite and create sharp grooves in the ball. Or even better make it the same material as the horse jolly balls.

Finely found a toy that doesn’t get chewed up in 5 minutes! We’ve had it for two weeks and very little damage just a couple of scratches on it. So far our pet hasn’t been able to gnaw it apart very durable. Next time I my opt for a larger one.

I’ve diagnosed my 2 yr old 20 lb wire fox terrier with OCD and ADD and he will play with his push and play for hours. I can only throw his ball so many times so when I say, ‘THATS ENOUGH!’ He tears after his red jolly ball and whips around the yard like David Beckham for the next hour or two. Thank God for Jolly Ball and doggy day care or I’d have an insane wound up terror to deal with.
