Jive® is West Paw Design the most durable dog ball yet. Seriously tough and rugged dog ball.  Easy to throw. Bright, bouncy, and BPA-free.  

  • Durable dog ball
  • Floating dog toy: perfect for ponds and pools
  • Unique shape for an unpredictable bounce
  • Small fits in standard ball thrower
  • Three sizes - Large, Small, & Mini
  • Dishwasher safe: easy to clean
  • Made in the USA

Jive comes in three sizes to fit any size dog.  The large size dog ball is 3.5 inches wide, which is just a little smaller than the average softball.  The small ball is 2.6 inches wide, which is similar to the size of a standard tennis ball.  Jive also comes in a new mini size for small dog breeds that is only 2" wide, which is almost the size of a golf ball. Small fits in standard ball thrower.  Mini fits in mini ball thrower.

Since Jive is made from our extremely tough Zogoflex® material, Jive is so strong that it is guaranteed to stand up against dog destruction. If your dog can damage this dog toy ball, we will give you a one-time free replacement or refund. Learn more about the guarantee on all of our Zogoflex dog toys.  

Other dog chew toys can be hard on dog's teeth, but even though Jive is guaranteed strong, this ball also bounces, floats, and is gentle on dog's mouths.  Jive is also recyclable, dishwasher safe, and made in the USA.  Choose from three sizes and three fun colors.

Love the Jive balls

By: Anonymous - Narberth, PA Dec 24, 2012

Nigel and Monty are two Toy Manchester Terriers who love to frolic and play with their Jive balls. Monty tosses his in the air and leaps after it, while Nigel rolls his around the kitchen floor. In spring we'll play fetch outside. The smallest balls are just the right size for our dogs, and the configuration makes it easy for them to pick up and carry around.

Best toy ever

By: JudyC - Dayton, OH Dec 21, 2012

Our cocker spaniel is really tough on toys. The jive ball will last her almost a year before it has to be replaced. Don't ever stop making the Zoloflex toys.

Great

By: k gistedt - Palm Coast, Florida Dec 12, 2012

Charlie loved it from the moment he picked it up. He loves chasing it around the backyard. I like how it cleans up and can bring it into the house for him to play with it.

Great product

By: Clarissa Sahm - Austin TX Dec 08, 2012

This toy is awesome! I got this for my pit bull mix who went through tennis balls like there was no tomorrow, I saw this in a local pet store and figured I would give it a try. He has had it for 6 months and has yet to make a dent in it. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has a chewer! Great investment!

LOVE LOVE LOVE

By: Brenda N - United States Oct 28, 2012

I love this jive ball so much I bragged about it on Facebook with a link for my friends to order too. We have 2 labs, both destroy toys and this ball has zero damage to it yet. I love that is bounces around allowing some play on their own. Will be buying more!!

Indestructible

By: Tim Bost - Pennsylvania Oct 23, 2012

Ipurchased 2 of these balls for my Chochlate Lab. While not a big chewer she does occassionally gnaw on this toy and I cannot find a tooth mark anywhere. As a further testomonial to this product, I have run over the ball with my riding lawnmower and did nothing more than leave a grass stain on the ball. I would recommend this toy and have to a number of others who have seen them.

Not Indestructible just the best yet

By: Anonymous - Northern CA Oct 20, 2012

Certainly not indestructible just the best yet. Our power chewing black lab eventually chewed away half the ball and half of one lobe of a "TUX" toy; but it took her a few weeks. A remarkable lifespan as ALL other toys we have tried have had a half-life measured in SECONDS! I took a marlinspike, punched a hole in the center of a "TUX" toy, and rove a foot and a half of 3/8" braided polypropylene line through the hole to make it easier to throw with greater distance; making it her favorite throw toy.

Perfect for Goldens

By: Robin Bowen - Prism Golden Retrievers Oct 18, 2012

My dogs ADORE this ball. I started with the green one but have now ordered 2 more greens and 2 oranges... the one we started with truly has not got a mark on it, and it is the favorite toy between all my dogs.

Great Gift for a Golden

By: Anonymous - Great Falls VA Oct 10, 2012

This was a gift for a friend's 2-1/2 year old male golden retriever and I was told it is a BIG HIT. The dog carries it everywhere and doesn't want to be separated from it!

Great for a toy hungry lab

By: Hyperventilate - Oklahoma City Oct 03, 2012

So, I held off reviewing this product because really, at first, my dog wasn't too interested in the ball. That alone wasn't really review worthy so I figured I would just chalk it up to Orion, my black lab (1 year old) just didn't find it interesting. Recently within the past month, he has suddenly found the ball absolutely irresistible and has brought it in from outside to be his solitary inside toy.

I have joked that Orion has scalpels for teeth, because he will completely demolish black Kong toys, some larger than suggested for his breed, down to rubbery bits within a day, or at worst, in hours. He has destroyed every single toy I have bought him, and he would even chew through sticks as thick as my arm back in California. This dog is a toy destroying machine.

This ball has held up fantastic to his gnawing. Not even a dent or a scratch on the product. He will lie on the floor and attempt to murder this ball for hours. It has gotten to the point that I think his teeth will fall out or he'll sprain his jaw from chewing on the Jive ball so long.

This is the best dog toy I've ever owned, and now that Orion has shown considerable interest in it, I think I'll be back for more toys.

I should also note that the ball bounces REALLY well! Orion absolutely loves to have me or my boyfriend bounce it out onto the lawn for him to frolic after, and he's gotten really good at catching it, considering the ball itself weighs a good few pounds of solid rubber.

Overall, a fantastic toy and my scalpel jawed dog has yet to scratch or dent it. Thanks you for the fantastic toy, West Paw!

LOVE Jive Ball

By: Shelly Hoffer - Grants Pass, Oregonn Sep 15, 2012

We have 2 pitbull/lab mix (heavy on the pitbull) year and half old brothers, that we adore! 1 of them had nearly lost his life by chewing on various toys and ropes when he was about 8 months old, so needless to say we were on a mission to find toys these two brothers could not destroy....everything we have found and tried failed, until I foudn the Jive Ball. Jive has been the first ball they have not been able to destroy...and they both love them...we have purchased 2 of the Jive balls already and plan on purchasing a few more. take my word for it, they have tried, but even with all the chewing and play, nothing has injured the Jive. THANK YOU!!!

Jive Ball

By: Maggie & Niko's Mom - Sacramento & Tahoe Aug 28, 2012

This ball is AWESOME.. We wanted something that would last & be healthy for our kids.
The Jive ball is just that they both spend time chewing & playing hard with the Jive ball as well as the Huck ball. My Vet has noticed that both dogs teeth are not being worn down from the tinnis ball fuzz. And the Tarter is also down from the past ball playing session.

The Jive ball fits the Chuckit really well and it is not hard to spend HOURS tossing it for the kids.

We as parents; love that this is a health ball, and that it is also made in the USA.
Thank you
Alanne

If you own a big strong dog

By: Anonymous - Aug 21, 2012

If you own a big strong dog like mine, good luck. My "guaranteed to last" indestructible Jive ball lasted minutes. When I returned the remains I had the nasty surprise of discovering that the 'guarantee' was once in a lifetime for all similar West Paw products. That's right, buy more Jive balls and no more guarantee. Gee, why does it feel like my pup has been West Paw blacklisted. I guess "guaranteed to last" on each package doesn't mean what it used to. My advice, 'buyer beware'.

Great balls

By: Anonymous - USA Aug 18, 2012

My dog loves his Jive balls. The best thing is they float and bounce really high. We buy them two at a time becuase chances are you will end losing them before your dog can destroy them.

Jive Ball

By: Anonymous - Arizona Aug 18, 2012

My dog, Miss Daisy, loves her Jive Ball. She has been fussy about her balls. She only seemed to like those hard rubber "super" balls that bounce so well. Unfortunately these balls crumble when chewed & were not very safe. She did not seem to swallow the chunks, but once these balls were breached into the garbage they went. We tried all sort of balls from the pet stores, but she did not like them. She did not like the way they bounced. She did not like the way they smelled. She had no interest in playing with other balls until we found the Jive Ball. This ball is hard & bounces well like the hard rubber balls, & she can gnaw on it to her hearts content. So far, this ball has not crumbled or disintergrated with her gnawing; she has been unable to make a dent in it, & it must smell right to her as she will sniff out the location of her JIve Ball & bring it out to play.
An added plus is that the ball floats. So she can retireve it on land or in the pool. This is the 1st pomeranian that I have owned that leaps into the water & swims. She snatches her floating Jive Ball, races to the step to climb out & brings you the ball to go again. She loves her Jive Ball & I love that she cannot destroy it! And, I love that it floats. The summers in Arizona are oven hot. For several months out of the year there is no better activity than swimming for exercising an active dog. Miss Daisy goes crazy when she sees the beach towels come out. She runs & find her Jive Ball & is ready to play fetch.

This ball is fantastic! My

By: Anonymous - Jul 29, 2012

This ball is fantastic! My chocolate lab puppy can tear up a toy within minutes to one day, if it's lucky to make it that long. This ball has no markings or anything! We haven't had the opportunity to use it at the river yet, but looking fwd to it. Thank you for making such great products that last.

Actually Indestructible!

By: Furio Di'Ferro - Detroit Jul 22, 2012

I bought a large Jive ball for my two year old Italian Mastiff (Cane Corso). After two weeks of heavy chewing on it he has been unable to harm it more than a few scratches on the surface. To date he has destroyed every toy that's we've tried with him, countless so called "indestructible" toys were destroyed in minutes. This guy crushes bones like ice cubes, you know those huge bones you see at the pet shop, its a cow femur, they last about a month. The only thing that will last are items you have to play with and then put away, like ropes or a frisbee, or things he loses interest in, like a Kong. I was so skeptical when I got this, I thought there was no way it would last, but it seems like it will last for a while. I don't think any dog can damage this thing, if there is, I want to see it. Its made from a super solid rubber but still flexible to have a decent bounce, it takes very little force to bounce it high enough to return to your hand.

Above the rest

By: Anonymous - Fort Worth, TX Jul 04, 2012

This Jive ball is the best we have found for several reasons. It floats in water, it bounces high and goes far, color is easy to spot anywhere. We bought 4 for various places. Totally recommend this ball for great fun with your dog. Now if someone could solve the "slime factor" after the dog retrieves it and drops it in your lap...

Chewing Pitbull Mix

By: Anonymous - United States Jun 30, 2012

Thought that this would be a goo toy for my brothers dog who destroys every other toy. This toy lasted longer then others (one day, versus a few hours) he took out a big chunk.

My 2 year old boxer loves

By: Anonymous - Jun 28, 2012

My 2 year old boxer loves this toy. I got it about a year ago because he chewed every other toy in about a day. We have had the jive ball for a year and he has barley made a dent in it. He gets a little excited in the house with it so I purchased the hurley bone. I am confident it will be just as good.

best of all the westpay toys

By: Anonymous - Brooklyn, NY Jun 19, 2012

this is the best of all the Westpaw tough toys, the others cannot withstand the jaws of a pitbull. However, the ball seems to somehow survive. Its not his favorite toy, but when he does play with it, it seems to endure his torture.

Tough Mudder

By: Anonymous - Indianapolis Jun 11, 2012

Everything else gets chewed up in seconds, but not the Jive Ball. Our mutt loves it and it has become the outside play toy. We've had it for about a week now and there aren't even teeth marks.

Jive balls

By: Lisa Schooler - Laguan Beach Jun 10, 2012

My boyfriend and I rescued two very abused and STRONG Pit Bulls. In an attempt to save our couch, bed, etc. we have gone through hundreds of dollars worth of toys. Most of the toy manufacturers claim their toys are "INDESTRUCTABLE". I don't think that they have had a Pit Bull!!!!(smile) I found the Jive ball at my local pet store. It has been the BEST toy I have bought. Besides needing to repair a window the ball crashed through by accident (Leo misjudged my throw), Jive has been inexpensive and hours of fun. In fact, Leo carries it around in his mouth like his best buddy. His mate, Kaiya even plays with her West Paws bone. She didn't even know how to play before this. So, to say it clearly, West Paws/Jive/Bone are the best dog toys I have ever bought!
Warmly,
Lisa, Ali, Leo and Kaiya
