What Customers Are Saying
The product received mixed reviews. Many customers found the toy engaging, durable, and suitable for play and chewing, especially for smaller dogs. However, a significant number reported the toy was not as durable as advertised and was quickly destroyed, even by dogs not known as heavy chewers. Some reviewers also warned the toy could pose a health risk if swallowed, as it may become lodged in a dog's intestines. The consensus is the toy may work well for some dogs, but it may not be suitable for all, particularly larger or more destructive breeds.

Would RecommendSince our shepherds were puppies- 8 years ago we have purchased both the Holee Rollers and Teasers Balls. Great quality, easy for them to fetch and carry around. They dont float in the pond for long though.

My pup loves this toy!
Would RecommendI bought this ball when we first brought our lab puppy home, I am glad I did because months later he still grabs it first as his favorite toy and there is NO DAMAGE to it! He is a heavy chewer and this toy is fantastic. I have never put treats in it because it keeps him occupied as is, it is also soft enough to throw inside for a good game of fetch on nasty days. Oh, and it is large enough that he doesn't loose it under the couch. All his other balls end up under furniture.

I bought this an hour and a half ago.
Would Not RecommendI bought this an hour and a half ago. The dog has torn it into at least twenty pieces in a hour half. This item has zero durability. Well, thirty minutes of durability against an eight months old labradoodle.

GREAT first ball for puppies.
Would RecommendI've bought several of these, all sizes from mini to large. They are great for puppies who can't catch solid balls yet and my big dogs love the large ones for playing tug and carrying around on walks. Lightweight, washable and durable.

Need to go back to the beginning
Would Not RecommendI don't know why they changed the materials and how they made this toy. I originally bought one of these years ago before JW sold to Petmate and it was strong and solid. It lasted through two boxers from puppy-hood to senior-hood, playing tug and pull with all of their might and still was in one piece. Since I moved, I had the original still in storage so I bought a new one for my new puppy and it's terrible. It barely lasted and I had to take it away from her after sticking my fingers down ...

DO NOT BUY almost killed my dog
Would Not RecommendMy dog chewed up one of these last year in January. Yesterday we had to have a piece he had swallowed surgically removed. It had swelled and lodged in his small intestines. I am out the money for the toy, a huge amount of money to save this dogs life, and the dog has gone thru a horrible ordeal. The design is such that a chewed piece that is swallowed has the potential to lodge, this is due to the Y shaped sections if they ingest them. JW please reach out! BTW this is my this try to post...

dog just had surgery to remove a piece of thi
Would Not RecommendBought this a year ago and dog chewed on if and unbeknownst to us swallowed a piece. Yesterday he had surgery to remove it from his small intestines where it joins his large intestine. Due to the shape of it it literally plugged his intestines. Best guess is it stayed in his stomach for almost a year. And is still recognizable as a piece of this toy. Huge expense for us, massive impact to the dog. Will never buy again

Chewed apart in about 4 minutes!!
Would Not RecommendThis is cr*p. This is the second review because the first one, for some reason, did not get posted. I am sick and tired of buying cr*p and just never say anything. Not anymore I am going to submit comments like crazy. This Product is a waste of money!!

Dog Bit Through it in 3 Hours
Would Not RecommendWe thought this would be a great toy - and it has kept our lab's interest. Unfortunately he bit through it within 3 hours ... It seems decent quality but didn't stand up to being very durable.

Hol-Ee Roller made of Rubbish Rubber
Would Not RecommendI bought a Hol-Ee roller and was thrilled with it 2 puppies ago. I bought a 2nd one for the new puppy ans found that the rubber is not rubbish. It is weak and the toy was broken with a puppy using it within 30 minutes. Why did they change how the product was made? All my friends also agree that this is a now very poor product and wasonce a great one.

A lifesaver for us and the dog!
Would RecommendWe rescued a Boston Terrier who was very ball driven. This is the only toy that he will play with for hours. I love it cause it forces him to be interactive especially when I put treats inside of it. It outlast any other toy and well worth the price.
