Seams on canvas cover are already coming apart

I have two large breed dogs Cane Corso. They love playing and running around. I purchase this product to tire them out. I was exhausted after the pump work out. Took forty minutes to fill it. Took the first ball to an open space and for about ten minutes watch my two guys have a blast chasing the thing around and running like nuts. One of them rolled over it a the zipper popped the the other in grabbed it but the open zipper area and that was the end of that. Returned it and thought they loved so I requested a replacement. Same story the zipper popped and they popped the ball. For the price it is a horrible investment. If you had a dog with no teeth maybe things will be better for you otherwise this is trash.

The media could not be loaded. Bro my brother has a blue heeler, and we live in the suburbs, so this dog has endless unspent energy. He would eat walls, rip up trash and toys, bark all the time, and never stop bringing toys. (He's a good boy, he's just not meant for house living)This freaking ball solved so many issues. He would play with it for an hour, rack out, get up and play with it again! He LOVES it and it's so easy it set up and take down. The only issue is he bites the cover and gets torn. After a few months of use it popped but it's still great!

Followed instructions. Inflated to the measured diameter. Capped and it was clearly soft the next day and continued to lose air from there. Zipper for the cover stuck closed and broken the tool provided to open it - while trying to open it.Cover looks tough and like it will stand up to abuse. Unfortunately zipper too touch to open again and ball not tough enough.

Straight out of the box, this item seemed of great quality. The cover was made out of a thick nylon, the inner ball seemed to be made of a thicker rubber but not much different than your standard exercise ball.Our 9mo Border Collie mix tore a hole in the outer cover on day two. He LOVED this thing! Disheartening to see with how much we paid for it, but a cover can be easily replaced. However, the inner ball blew a massive hole in it that is beyond repair just 2 months after we gave it to him... and while he's still very mouthy because... ya know... he's a puppy... he wasn't laying around chewing on it. This was from it's intended use.But I won't completely fault the product. It is a nice product, I thought it was nice that they included puncture repair kits and they offer replacement pieces for every bit of their product, but the cost is just not worth it to me vs just getting an exercise ball and buying a cheaper outer cover elsewhere. Knowing that there is an imminent failure of the product deflating or tears in the cover, why not lower the price to be more affordable so you have repeat customers?

Very durable and my Aussie lives for this thing. He absolutely loves it. However, the ball inside is very awkward to blow up and very difficult to zip. The ball is bigger than the cover so it’s never fully blown up.

I am astonished at all the reviews that complain that the ball pops. That’s what the cover is for you ding bats!! Put the cover on and it’s great. Be sure to line the air nipple up with the closed end of the zipper otherwise you’ll have to deflate a bit and readjust. All said a great product even if the pump is really really cheap. I pumped up the ball in about 10 mins. I ended up giving the ball away because my Border Collie x Great Pyrenees sisters preferred watching the ball like livestock guardians rather than herding the ball like herders. They dont chase. My husband had to teach them to go after a small ball — they grab the ball and then put it in the pile with the rest of the flock.

This oversized tennis ball is the perfect size for my 14 week old Blue Heeler puppy. She absolutely wore herself out chasing and herding this ball in the back yard. Ball seems to hold up to her pawing, nipping and scratching. A very reasonable price, with great product quality and hours of fun!

My blue heeler absolutely loves to play with this hearding ball! He can play with it in our big hard to burn energy but also his need to heard! 100% recommend!

My boarder collie loves her ball. Once she got the gist of it. If you’re not into reading instructions like myself put ball in cover before you pump it up lol 😂 Make sure you pump it up properly to fit the cover nice and tight.

He likes it !

She loves it
