Jolly Balls & Kongs?

shandoggy1 · 12-06-2005, 03:34 PM

Hi girls & guys,
Was wondering if anyone uses jolly balls or kongs for there dogs? The jolly balls are wonderful and very strong and durable (won't deflate). My 6 month old ACD is a big fan of both but has more fun with the jolly balls. Although he is sleeping right next to my chair with his kong in his mouth so noone will take it (those darn Cats!) LOL! Anyways, I just picked him up an 8 inch round jolly ball for Xmas and he plays with his old one in my house for hours off and on. I bought him his first one when he was 10 weeks and it was alot smaller so I upgraded his toys to bigger sizes today. Spoiled brat!

My dogs love their kongs but what is a jolly ball?

Oh Zoo Keeper you are missing out

Jolly balls are big round balls with a handle on the top they come in 5,8,& 11 inches big. They are very tuff and durable so your dog can't brake or pop it. Go to www.petedge.com and check them out this place delivers all over the place if you would like to try one for your dogs.

type in jolly ball as the keyword

Checked out the site now I'm going to check out the stores. Looks like a Christmas present to me.

I think kongs are wonderful! They keep the dogs busy when I'm gone and reward them for not being destructive. I highly recommend them.

We don't have a kong, but a Cosmic Cone.. it is not as hard, and we can still fill it with treats and peanut butter.

We use Kongs for Wesley, but I never heard of Jolly Balls before! They sound really good! Maybe Wesley will get one for Christmas!

That's a "Pitty" alright. LOL!!!

Jamila · 12-06-2005, 06:12 PM

Wow elegy thats what a jolly ball would look like if it came here...lol
Now Kongs are great. All my kids love them and it keeps them so busy. Breaks for mommy are good at times.

Dakota's Jolly Ball suffered the same fate as Eleusis and Mushroom's. LOL.

Jolly balls are definitely not indestructible but I have to say the thing held up well against those teeth of his. He has taken to "scissoring" clean through a kong. (Although it was one of those puppy kongs, maybe that made all the difference.)

Guess I should have pointed out that they could chew the handle off of the top! LOL! My Cai destroyed another type of ball that was supposed to be tough and durable but has kept his jolly ball intact so far. The kongs are the best and they have the black kongs for real aggressive chewers which is what I bought for my pup. Those darn bully breeds Elegy! LoL!
