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

  • 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.

Jive Ball

By: Louie - Hatfield, Massachusetts Jun 06, 2012

Our Labrador retriever just loves the 'Jive Ball' he likes to play with indoors and out. It is a heavy ball and get our attention when he drops it on our feet. This thing floats too!
Great job West Paws!!

Good ball

By: Jay Warner - Chaumont NY Jun 05, 2012

This is by far the best ball I've found,but not indestructable.Maxine,my Chessie can shred one of these inside of a week. We only let her have it when we are home and on weekends.But it's a lot better than the lacrosse balls we were using.And I'm glad you redesigned it and removed the nubs on each end because these would be off in 10 minutes. Overall I'm very satisfied with the huck balls.

BEST BALL EVER!!!

By: RIKI - DELAWARE Jun 05, 2012

My standard labradoodle that chews through everything has not even gotten teeth marks on any of your toys! Please keep coming up with new designs to keep Max happy!!!

Fun and sturdy

By: Arie - Eastern Wasington Jun 04, 2012

An excellent solid but light ball (but too hard for indoor fetch). My dog's mostly like to chew balls like they're bubble gum and the jive ball is great for that, shows no wear after several hours of gnawing.

Indestructable

By: Billy Guthrie - Louisiana Jun 04, 2012

The Jive along with the now discontinued Huck, in my opinion, are the best throwable/floating toys ever made for hard chewing reteviers. Cixi is a lab who can destroy anything such as a tennis ball or a retrevier dummy in seconds. Not so with the Jive. She can misplace it and lose it but is not able to destroy it. I did not think such a product was possible but it is. Thanks for this fantastic product.

Simply The Best

By: Anonymous - Laguna Beach May 31, 2012

We adopted our 2 Pit Bulls 6 months ago. We have had Pits before and we knew how hard it is to find toys that last.
After spending hundreds of dollars in the last 5 months on all kinds of toys claiming to be tough, we had just about gave up. We even bought very expensive toys that were made for training police dogs. These did not last more than 1 hour. About 3 weeks ago we bought 2 Jive balls and a Hurley bone. The monkies love them and they have yet to even put a scratch in them. Infact our male dog now carries his yellow Jive everywhere with him. They spend hours playing with them and they are much more entertained when we have to leave them home alone. We will definitely be buying more West Paw toys for ourselves and as gifts.
Thank you for selling such a great product that works as claimed.

Better than most

By: tchoi6 - Vancouver, BC May 29, 2012

Well for 1, shipping to canada is $40 from the site so i had to get it from a local dealer.

my small puggle really loved it for about a week, but wear and tear could be seen from it within the first day. It's tough, but only lasted me a week. Usually other stuffed or hockey balls type things doesn't even survive an hour.

Its not that expensive ($14 from the store), but i'm not sure i would get another one

Great indestructable toy!

By: Anonymous - Painesville, Ohio May 23, 2012

We have a black lab, who literally has chewed through every toy, and non toy, in sight! FINALLY, we have some toys that she cant tear to shreds!! We are very pleased with everything about the toys we got along with how fast we got them! We are definite customers for life!

Finally! No more pieces of dog toy laying all over my floor!

By: C to the J - Texas May 23, 2012

I have a power-gnawer that has shredded any toy I have ever given her in minutes.

She got ahold of this ball and went to town. I watched, and watched, and watched until she was just sitting there staring back at me with tongue hanging out like she was exhausted. Not even a puncture or scratch on the thing.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT! I've already bought the frisbee and another ball!

Thank you!

Jive Ball

By: Anonymous - Saskatchewan, Canada May 19, 2012

We have an 8 year old female Golden. She FOUND her large jive ball in Arizona. As with other pets on this site, she would absolutely destroy any toy we bought for her! Tennis balls...well, she loves to skin them with her incisors! This Jive ball is almost indestructable. After months of gnawing on it, she has a few tooth marks on it, but it's still very good. It is her favorite toy and she begs us to throw it for her all the time. Highly, highly recommended from Chinook, for sure!

Wonderful

By: Anonymous - Round Rock, TX May 12, 2012

We have a Vizsla that loves to chew and detroy her toys. Not this one! She loves to play fetch due to its bouncy nature and this toy will last! Highly recommend!!!

Indestructable!

By: Bonnie Renkel - MS May 05, 2012

I purchased a med. & a large ball for my 8-mn old border collie. She has eaten/destroyed at least $150 worth of toys, balls, etc. since I got her. If something lasted 3 hrs, it was a miracle. She has had these balls for over a week & there is not even a toothmark in them. They are incredibly durable & heavy but they still roll & bounce well. She still prefers a tennis ball that she can descimate in a matter of minutes but she's not adverse to her new toys!

Thank you, Jive!

By: Jennifer N. - Raleigh, NC May 04, 2012

My mixed breed dog chews through EVERYTHING we give him. The black Kongs designed for much bigger dogs don't stand a chance with him. Tennis balls last minutes, literally. Enter the Jive - he's had this ball for a solid two weeks, and aside from some surface scratches, this ball looks exactly the way it did when we bought it. I love that I have a toy I can allow my dog to go to town on without keeping an eye out to make sure he hasn't shredded or swallowed any of it. This is also a great, sturdy ball to play fetch with. Teh blue color makes it easy to find wherever it lands. Thank you, West Paw!

Solid Toy That Will Last For Years

By: Scott J - Littleton, CO Apr 24, 2012

This is a great toy that can stand the test of my chewing puppy. He has gone through tons of tennis balls, but this one doesn't even have a dent or scratch on it yet (he's been chewing on it for about three weeks now). While it is a great fetch toy, this is definitely an outdoor fetch toy. It is so solid that it could break something if thrown inside. Overall a great toy for the dog who likes to chew or fetch.

My Puppy Loves It

By: Allison - New York Apr 19, 2012

I purchased the Jive a couple of months ago for my bloodhound puppy and she loves it. She enjoys playing fetch with my husband or just chasing it around the house by herself. It's very durable which is great since she has destroyed almost all of her toys. I highly recommend it!

Jive Talkin!

By: Taylor Burkum - Council Bluffs, IA Apr 19, 2012

JIVE BALL

By: Anonymous - FREDERICK, MD Mar 26, 2012

The ball is, as guaranteed, very tough. It is a bit heavy for a catching ball, but Jackson loves it. The tougher the toy the
better.

Its a Blessing

By: taras mum - yountville ca Mar 11, 2012

Since finding your balls in Fideaux several years ago, thats ALLLL I BUY for my amazingly strong Skye terrier, , who prefers to run about with the small bone in her mouth and pushing the ball with her nose, slamming it into moms shins. How they are a blessing is that she barks whenever folks walk in front of the house, BUT if she has a ball in her mouth they laugh at her instead of being pissed and at least her barks are muffled. In fact i need to order 2 more, cause ALWAYS NEED A SURPRISE when we cant find any of the old ones and they MUST BE [ S.F.]GIANTS ORANGE,, not nearly as interested in the other colours whoever found this strong product is a Saint. the ONLY TOYS SHE TAKES A FEW MONTHS TO DESTROY

The only one tough enough!!

By: Katmax - Las Vegas Mar 07, 2012

We have a 16 pound Pomeranian who thinks he's a pitbull. No toy can survive his determination to chew it into pieces, not even your Hurley and Huck. But the Jive ball is perfect, easy for him to pick up and play with, and, after a week, not even a tooth mark on this one!! Finally we found the perfect toy!!!

Indestructible

By: Anonymous - Feb 28, 2012

My terrier mix chews on everything and destroys most toys. My daughter in law purchased some West Paw toys for her giant golden retriever and he has yet to tear them up. We also bought one of the chew bones and she loves it too!

Best Dog Ball Yet!

By: Anonymous - PA Feb 28, 2012

I have two Golden Retrievers, siblings, just 2 years old. The balls were a favorite from the start. One carries hers everywhere
she goes now. So far the balls are indestructible, fun to throw or roll, and easily washed clean. Love 'em!

Great Ball!

By: Alison - Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Feb 27, 2012

I am so glad West Paw decided to make a small ball. My beagle border collie has been obsessed with the 2" small Kong tennis balls, and I have tried absolutely everything trying to replace them as they are made in china and do not last long, finally I have found something that will work, most balls I try to replace them with are not even touched, but he has been carrying the jive ball with him since I got it! The jive ball is great! We have tonnes of West Paw products, bed, blankets, ziscs, hucks, hurleys, bumis, and salsas, and they are all wonderful! Thank-You West Paw!

Jive is alive!

By: Jeff Langridge - United States Feb 25, 2012

Jive is fantastic because he grooves in the ball lets it jump all over the place. Our customers found this to be a great ball. We are happy to carry it and glad that West Paw added it to their collection.

Bull Masiff...played like a child

By: Barbara Norman - North Carolina Feb 22, 2012

Jeh Jeh loves his new toy...he played for a solid hour with the ball...in the house, all 100 pounds of him, because we live in the woods and his toys are easily lost in the leaves. We still have his orange toy, can't remember the name but it is shaped like the letter "Z" and it always stays in the house too.

(In my last issue of Country Living Magazine, its regular veterinarian feature mentioned indestructable dog toys so I emailed he should check out your website and note that your toys are made in the USA)

Jive Dog Ball

By: Jack P Burns - Fort Worth, Texas Feb 22, 2012

I have had two hucks and were very impressed with the durability of them. One has been (misplaced??). I think
I know where but am embarrassed to ask for it because they probably need it more than me. I wanted to order
another huck but found they have been replaced by this Jive. I ordered three more, all different colors and my two year old lab loves them. We live in a secluded neighborhood and I can throw the Jive along the paved street and it will roll and roll and roll and away goes our lab. It's slimming her down during the winter when it
is too cold for exercising in our pool. We have several
other products from West Paw made of that same tough material and are very pleased with them.

Harvey's Best Ball

By: Harvey's Mom - Portland, OR Feb 20, 2012

Harvey, a miniature poodle, chews like a maniac but can't make a dent in this one. He chews it, chases it and hides it to be sure we don't take it away from him. Absolutely recommend this ball.

Jive ball review

By: Nat Childs - Miranda, CA Feb 20, 2012

We haven't had the Jive ball for long but so far it's undamaged! Our little Pitbull has worked on it several times but been unable to get it far enough back in her mouth to be able to really put the bite to it. I think the grooves in the ball make her think that maybe she can really get a hold on it so she continues to try--making it a great toy. She likes to have us throw it.
We also appreciate the free replacement of the Zisc that she succeeded in destroying. We'll try to keep control of that one so she doesn't have a chance to destroy it.
