Best Toy ever

By: Andre - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Feb 18, 2009

My 1 year and 5 months old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, called Taz, loves his Zogoflex ball, that is really amazing and very durable. For sure the best purchase I´ve ever made! Highly recommended!!!

Alas! We lost it!

By: Jill - Calgary, Alberta Jan 31, 2009

After killing all his other toys, our yellow lab pup LOVED the huck and hurley we got him. Wasn't so interested in him when he was a baby, but now that he's eight months old and in need of some serious toys that won't end up in pieces, we lost both of them at the dog park today! Boo to the snow! We're crossing our fingers that we get a chinook soon so we can find them again, but knowing how good they are, we won't be surprised if another dog finds them and loves them too.
We love the fact that the small huck fits in our "flinger" for ever farther throwing!

A GREAT TOY!

By: Cathy - Lincoln, NE Jan 25, 2009

My seven-month-old lab puppy loves this ball! She feels the same about her Hurley. Great toys for big dogs.

NOT INDESTRUCTABLE, BUT LONG LASTING

By: AMY - ASHEVILLE, NC Jan 20, 2009

This is the only ball I have found that will last more than 10 min. before my Wolfhound mix can shred it! It now takes her several days to several weeks (depending on how agressively she chews) to make a dent in it. The only design flaw in this ball is the "disc" at each end of the ball - that is the first part to go. Even though she eventually gets the best of it I have bought several because it is the best one I have found so far. Kudos to West Paw Design - they sent me a replacement ball just as the guarantee promised!!!Thanks so much.

Great product for even the toughest chewers!

By: Rachel - Champaign, IL Jan 14, 2009

I have a one-year-old Pit Bull/Weimaraner mix who destroys even the toughest toys within 30 minutes (the "extreme" Kong, etc.). I've been looking for an interesting toy to keep her occupied, yet one that won't be shredded on my carpet later that day. I didn't have high hopes for this product because I feel as though I've tried every "indestructible" toy on the planet and few live up to their name.

I've had the Huck (and the Tux) for 2 weeks now and it's still in great condition. My dog did manage to tear off a small chunk of it (why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5), but overall, it HAS held up to its name! I'm thrilled, and so is my dog! She LOVES the Huck, especially the way it bounces around at odd angles. Great product!

So good, I went back for more!

By: Kelly - Cayce, SC Jan 11, 2009

My Doberman is a power chewer. She broke off a piece of the strongest Nylabone. She picks the rubber off the ends of Kongs. The Huck is the only toy I've found that she has not been able to destroy. Since I have 3 dogs of my own and foster 2 more, I went back and bought more Hucks. It's strong enough for the power chewer Dobie and pit bull, and the little groove makes it possible for my little terrier to enjoy it, too.

Not for the tough chewer

By: Stacy W - Washington Dec 30, 2008

I've been searching for a toy that can withstand a tough old Yellow Lab. Needless to say this one did not make it 10 minutes. Within a few minutes Emory was able to chew a quarter size chunk out.

the little Huck that could...for about 2 hours

By: Manny - Newark Ohio Dec 16, 2008

Our dog was really excited to get the Huck and totally ignored the Kong after getting it, but after about 2 hours, she managed to chew off the little nubs around the indentations in the center of the ball. It would've been better as a slightly smaller, but solid ball with no grooves probably. It seems like she just looks for little things to wear down till they break. Oh well. We got her the Hurley as well but she has to wait till xmas for that one :) It looks like those have held up a little better, but the ends don't look promising

Dogue de Bordeaux/ Boxer

By: Candice - Michigan Nov 04, 2008

This is the best toy ever made. I bought this toy when my 6 month old Dogue de Bordeaux/Boxer mix destroyed every other toy I had ever bought. He is now 2 years old & still has this ball!! He plays with it all the time. Remy even uses it for a chew & it still hasn't been destroyed. Again this is the best toy ever.

Three Large Dogs

By: Julie - Colorado Sep 22, 2008

All three dogs love chomping and chasing our Huck. It has stood up to all of their antics with only a little scratch or two. I went back to our local store and purchased another two so the girls don't have to share. Yesterday was a ball-throwing-fest and so much fun!

13 month old Lab

By: Sue Herrmann - Kenosha WI Sep 04, 2008

I have enjoyed watching my lab, now 13 months with several of the toys. At about 6 months he chewed through the zisc in about an hour, which I sent back for the refund. He has enjoyed the Hurley as has his dad, who put the first bite into it. We have now gone the last month has a favorite fetch and chew toy, but alas it may be retired has one end is gone. As they are non toxic and made in the USA, I am online to purchase a new one.

Lasted 10 minutes

By: Kimberly Pinckney - Houston, TX Sep 03, 2008

We just bought the Huck for our 11 month old dachshund. The store owner raved about the product and we thought we'd finally found something that would last a few days. Alas, I had to take it back up after about 10 minutes because of the amount my dog had already managed to chew off and eat. We have had much better luck with the Hurley. One whole day and counting! I'm hoping they will replace our damaged Huck with another, less destructible design.

Check one off for the Dogue de Bordeaux!

By: Pepe Rodriguez-Moreno - Farmington, Minnesota Aug 26, 2008

Well I was hoping for the best from the huck and found that it fell short. I bought the hurley and huck for my French Mastiff(1yr) and I guess the huck took the brunt of the abuse and went down for the count after 30 minutes. My dog started to break off chunks from the lip of the ball. Maybe if it gave the dog less of a grip it would last longer. The hurley on the other hand has lasted and even after the valiant efforts of my Pumpkin. I recommend this one highly.

Huck Doesn't Hold Up to the Cane Corso!

By: Tallula White - Tuscaloosa, AL Aug 26, 2008

My husband and I ordered both the huck and the hurley for our Cane Corso(8 months). I'm happy to say that the hurley is still intact after one week! The huck however only lasted about one hour. He began to chew off the ridge of the ball....and there it went. I really wouldn't recommend it for mastiff breeds. We were really hoping it would be indestructible.

Winner at my house :)

By: Elease - Montana Aug 14, 2008

This was a hit at my house! My Aussie/German shephard mix, Annie, pranced around the house with it showing it off before she settled down and really went to work chewing on it, and it survived! She also got a kick out of the fact that it bounces in all directions, by the end of the night she figured out that she could basically play fetch by herself by just dropping it. :)

Love it

By: Kristi - Arroyo Grande, CA Jul 17, 2008

We have nicknamed our dog "destructo" due to his ability and resolve to tear apart any toy in under 5 minutes. This one has lasted us months so far with absolutely no wear. We feel obligated to throw this ball nearly all day long as it is his absolute favorite for the way it bounces in unexpected directions. The amount of play on concrete has actually worn my dog's nails down (thank goodness) and his muscle tone is now awesome. Thanks for such an amazing product.

The Survivor

By: Gitai - Seattle Jul 08, 2008

This is the one and only toy that Bran, my corgi, has not utterly and totally destroyed within a month of getting it. In fact, it's still completely intact, and he loves playing with it.

Did not survive an 8 month old GSD

By: Shirley Dennis - Indianapolis IN Jun 28, 2008

We were so excited to have found a dog toy made in the USA! But in 5 minutes our German Shepherd pup had taken out a small chunk of the large huck. It was not on the edge of the raised portion but on the smooth part of the huck.

We will get the guarantee replacement and then I will give another review. I hope it is a good one. We won't let her chew on it if it breaks off. Even though she is with us when she would chew on it I don't want to take any chance of her choking or having it block her GI system.

Finally followed it.

By: Emily - Germany May 20, 2008

I have a 6 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback and she loves this ball-now. At first she was a bit scared and waited till it stopped bouncing to get it. But now there is no stopping her, in fact she will catch it and fling it up again to make it bounce even more. The Huck was the first ball she would bring back to be thrown again proving just how much she loves it. The bright colors are easy for her to find on various surfaces: concrete, dirt, grass, etc. I have not noticed any puncture marks but she is a chewer and loves to chew on the Huck when she is done running around.

Had them for years and still in brand new shape!

By: Doreen - The Woodlands, TX May 08, 2008

I bought 2 of these balls a few years ago, and they still look brand new! I have a few aggressive chewers (3 Aussies and a Lab), and they like to chew and chew on these, as well as chase them when they bounce this way and that! It's been fun watching them run all over the place trying to catch it after the bounce. This toy is ranked up there with the Kong toys I have - which also do not have any tears in them yet, (but they do have puncture holes from their teeth).

Only lasted 2 weeks

By: Kathy - Ventura, CA Apr 26, 2008

Lasted less than 2 weeks with my 3 year old 90 pound yellow lab. The only other toy that would last about 3 months were the Kongs. Since he loved this ball more than the Kongs I will give it another try. Maybe it was defective.

Great gift choice

By: Lynda - Minnesota Apr 04, 2008

I bought a number of different supposedly "tough" balls to send to freind who has a ball crazy retriever. Of the various balls in the group the huck has obviously become the favorite. My friend posts frequent photos on a photo sharing web page of her dogs on walks and swims - and the huck is always along. I don't think her dog is a super agressive chewer, but she had previously been going through tennis balls frequently - no more. After several months she is still carrying the same huck.

Not Boston Proof

By: Judy - Vineland, Ontario Mar 22, 2008

We purchased the Hurley and Huck after reading about the toys in the magazine "Dog's in Canada". Reading the reviews of your product we thought that we had finally found something that our Boston terrier wouldn't demolish in under a week. The toys were given to our pup at Christmas time, the Huck fared better than the Hurley, after 2 weeks we noticed bits missing. He is still playing with the toys but we have to really monitor him in case he manages to rip a big chunk off the Hurley. The Huck has a few pieces out of it.
Our dog is an extremely aggressive chewer. Because the toys have ridges in them, he is able to get his inciser teeth into the grooves and chew away. If the ball or bone were smoother it might make a difference.
I feel this product is excellent for a low to moderate chewer or a dog that just likes to play with his toys.
Excellent to see that the products are made in the U.S.A. hard to find anything now a days that isn't made "Off Shore".

Huck doesn't beat the Hurley

By: - Ontario, Canada Feb 27, 2008

Our Jack Russell Terrier, Parker, was able to break the Huck. We've had great times with the Hurley though..she loves it!

The best toy I've found

By: Vivian Resendez - California Jan 30, 2008

I have spent so much money on various toys and balls. My male Australian Cattle Dog managed to destroy everything I gave him, and what he wasn't interested in destroying, my female ACD would take on. I have spent literally hundreds of dollars on toys that last an hour, if I was lucky. This has been such a life-saver. He can carry it around with him, hold it in his mouth and chomp it, and use it for a game of fetch. He's also learned to flip it out of his mouth with a spin so it bounces for him on the hard floors and he can entertain himself. The only reason I've had to replace the ball is because the dogs lose them. I know I always have a sturdy, safe toy for him to play with. Thank you so much for your wonderful product!!

Love It!

By: Caitlin - Missouri Jan 29, 2008

I love this ball! My JRT can chew up anything! Behlee loves the ball too, he wants to play with it and chew on it all day. Although Behlee was able to get a few pieces off of it, I still think it is great. We had to trash the old one and buy a new one. It took him weeks before he ever got anything off of the first one, so in my book, that is one awesome toy!

Mrs.

By: Edie - Wilsall Jan 24, 2008

Our Bouvier, Bart, loves his Hucks... Though he destroys everything else he isn't able to make a dent in them! Our only challenge is losing them in the snow, under the deck, etc.... so we have a large collection! Thanks!!

Best Chew Toy

By: - South Dec 09, 2007

My American Staffordshire Terrier puppy has not been able to destroy this yet. She has already destroyed the black and red chew toys (made by your competitors).
