Pros: Ok, so it's indestructible...
Cons: An expensive version of a tennis ball.
The Bottom Line: If your dog destroys tennis balls, then this might be a good replacement. Otherwise, stick to tennis balls.

| Barefooter's Full Review: Huck Indestructible Ball Dog Toy Small |
My Westie, Kaycie, is a ball lover. Toss a ball across the room and she'll dash madly after it, crashing into a wall as the ball bounces back. So when I picked up the Huck Indestructible Ball, I figured she would enjoy a game of "fetch" with this thing.
Unfortunately, this ball now sits in her wicker basket and she never picks out that toy when she wants to play. If she's in a good mood, we might get a few fetches out of her with this ball. She prefers a plain old tennis ball over this toy.
I obtained this ball on sale for $6.99 but I see it selling on the internet for as much as $8.99. The larger ball sells for $10.99. The ball is made out of Zogoflex--a recycled material that is a tough, rubberized plastic. It comes in three colors: blue, yellow-green and orange. The plastic ball can float in water.
The company, West Paws, will replace the ball for free if your doggie somehow destroys it. They claim it is "indestructible" with normal use. The balls come in two sizes, small (2.6") and large (3.25"). The ball has an indention down the middle, which provides an unpredictable bounce which some dogs will enjoy. The indention also makes it easier to remove the ball from a dog's mouth by gripping the indention and pulling the ball away.
I have seen other reviews where dog owners are happy with this ball simply because it is durable. Kaycie just seems bored with it. She's much happier bounding after the Holey Roller ball.
So for Kaycie, I'm sticking to a can of tennis balls instead.
