User questions & answers

Question:	What dog is on the picture of this dog toy
Answer:	No this is clear. Virtually all private youth sports leagues and many Middle and High Schools usually won't allow tint due to the possibility of not being able to see a hit coming. Now in Phoenix its other extreme UV areas I would say it is more likely to miss an incoming hit from the sun in your face or glare even if you are facing away from the sun but I don't make the rules. Even where it is allowed I have seen an official sideline a youth until a tinted on is removed. I suspect that a competing coach may have had something to do with drawing the attention of the official but go clear and you won't have to risk it.
Question:	Does it float
Answer:	No

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this toy large enough for an 87 lb. Boxer to play with and not choke
Answer:	Yes it's not small at all and actually quite heavy it's made out of heavy rubber and very loud squeaker I have a boxer shepherd and she is very rough with it I keep it outside as it is not a soft toy
Question:	How long did it take for your dog to chew the end off? My 7 month old puppy did it in less than an hour
Answer:	My dog is a medium sized adult (about 45 pounds) --- the red football is his favorite toy. It fits his mouth just right. He plays with it often. So far it has held up just fine. Not his first football of this type. Eventually the squeaker will stop working but even then he loves to play with that toy. He doesn't like the heavy duty type of chew toys. Won't play with them. Sorry to hear your puppy chewed the football up so quickly. Maybe a tougher type of chew toy will work better for your pet. Hope this helps. Best of luck.
Question:	What type rubber is it made of
Answer:	Not sure if this helps but it’s made from a very heavy duty rubber. Ball is very heavy probably best suited for large dog
Question:	Made in USA
Answer:	It says nothing on the ball itself other than NERF. The packaging says "Manufactured by Gramercy Products" with an address in NJ and then after that it says "Made in China." Confusing. It is licensed by Hasbro.

User questions & answers

Question:

Does it squeek

Answer:

Yes, this ball did squeak, but this particular ball lasted about 30 minutes after my Chihuahua mix ripped it. So took it away from her. The one I also bought was a "Zhanc Yi Pet Toys Stuffed Ball with noise squeaker football". My dog still has this one after one YEAR! It still squeaks and never got ripped. Has some leather areas around it, too. I just noticed from Amazon, it is so longer available. Hope this helps you.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why do fidgets cost so much if I'm only getting 1 package
Answer:	I have an older one too from a couple of years ago, with the squeaker almost chewed out, and the new one seems softer by comparison, so time will tell if it stands up as well. My dogs like the new one because it squeaks easier. It's a couple of months old now and it's good so far. I would definitely buy this again.
Question:	Is this made in the USA
Answer:	Small 2.75"L x 5"WMedium 3"L x 6"WLarge 4.5"L x 8"W
Question:	How durable is this toy
Answer:	This ball is too big for small dogs, however, I think the quality is very good and I think a big dog would have fun with this ball.
Question:	Does this toy float in water
Answer:	Hi! Congrats on your puppy! This is definitely a large ball and it won't fit in his mouth as a pup or maybe even when grown but honestly I worry more about balls that are too small versus too big. Having had labs all my life he would still have fun with it and he won't be small long! My lab Tinkerbell loves hers! It's not durable as a chew toy but it great for supervised play sessions and fetch.
