My dog, for whatever reason, loves footballs. The first one I bought (not this brand but similar in nature), he popped in the first 2 minutes.So I found this one. Price was right. It didn’t pop, BUT, he was tearing the cover off and eating it. We can’t have that, now can we? So I tore the one panel off that he had started eating. Unfortunately, he did the same to the others, so I had no choice but to take it from him. This could be a nice toy if your dog isn’t as destructive as mine.Dog is in love with it but the out part is tearing apart and leaving scraps all over my yard.5/5 as a toy3/5 for flimsy outer foamWe have a small terrier he likes the ball because he can carry it by the tapes, but it is inflatable and he managed to bite a chunk out of it on the first day, so it won't last longIt blows up well and the dogs absolutely loved it, but within 24 hrs had stripped off some of the outer shell so unfortunately had to be binned!This ball is dangerous, most dogs will chew and pull and eat the bits of plastic. Now in BIN and my bad for not reading all the reviews - saw the 4.5 overall and thought it would be ok - nopeNot robust enough for my puppy who burst it within 2 mins, FYI he’s a cocker spaniel and was 14 weeks when I bought this
