Romp! High Viz Elastomer Ball Dog Toy

Romp! High Viz Atom Ball Elastomer Ball Dog ToyPicked this up on sale at Petco for $3 and still feel ripped-off. Although the ball feels solid enough in packaging, the blue sections are actually seperate and barely held in. The first one fell out within two minutes of playful fetching. After the second came off, we pulled the rest of the blues out (which didn't take ANY effort at all. They were so loose I don't know how they didn't fall off in packaging). The blue pieces are small and easily choking hazards. After the ball was de-blued, the yellow frame felt sturdy enough to continue playing fetch. Within another five minutes, the rest of the ball started coming off in chunks.

I would not recommend this toy. Although it looks cool, and our dog really did love it, it is cheaply built.

I purchased one of the atom style balls for my dog. He loved it. He was able to find it easy. I believe in the blue/yellow color claim as he can lose sight of this one and retrieve it when told to find his ball. But with in a day or 2 he had pulled all the little atoms apart. Keep in mind I have a 115 lb Shepard/Mastiff who's still a puppy (2 years). Gonna try the football or the other one, they may not be as sensitive

This toy didn't last an hour with my two year old Westie. She has teeth and jaws like I don't know what. Within an hour she had peeled most of the felt off it. I still trying to get the rest of the felt off so she can have some fun with the plastic ball, alone. She does recognize those colors, as she has another two with the same colors that dogs see so well.

I accept that my 18 lb. Shiba/pom mix is a little more driven to destroy than "normal" dogs, so I didn't expect this toy to last much more than a day, though I was hopeful. It lasted 90 minutes. I can accept the claim of color contrast, because while we were rolling the ball back and forth on the floor, our dog was able to track it and intercept it like a professional soccer player. But the only warning I would give to other dog owners is that the color components are actually separate, and our dog pried a blue portion completely off of the ball in fairly short order.

I give this item two stars not because of its ease of destruction but its price. Had it cost less, I'd have expected the same longevity. At the price we paid for it, I expected something a little tougher.
