    Ah, but the kong tennis balls are specifically for dogs - no yellow colouring :)

    I only purchase fluffy squeaky toys for my two Yorkies as their teeth just go straight through vinyl squeakys. I mostly buy Kong toys but they always burst the squeakers within a day or two - I think I have gave up on replacement squeakers now. I was going to try the Kong tennis balls but they not that into balls, they just love to pull the fur off around the balls so imagine it will be the same for these balls too.

    They do have Kong squiggles and the Wubba which they've had for over a year and haven't managed to burst :)

    Wubba is really tough, but it still lasted half an hour... Found this snake thing in Pets @ Home, which has three separate squeak 'compartments' and claimed to be really tough... Two hours later, each of the squeak compartments had been ripped out of the snake and de-squeaked. I give up!!

    Another vote for the kong wubba - still doesn't last my stafffie very long but a bit improvement on the 10 seconds it takes her to get through s regular squeaky toy!

    My dog is exactly the same, he absolutely loves squeaky toys to the extent that he just keeps on at them until the squeak dislodges or just gives up the ghost - usually minutes rather than hours:mad:

    Have tried all sorts, but tend to just him buy cheap ones.

    Trouble is that he has been so spoilt that he expects one every time I come in with shopping bags:D

    We always remove the squeak from the toys before we give them to our dog. She loves her toys even if they don't squeak.

  • Another vote for the kong tennis balls - we've found them to be almost terrier proof. Our first one lasted almost a year. The wubbas are also pretty good although the head is now lacking a bit of stuffing!

    Just to follow up from this, bought a small Kong Wubba, it arrived on Tuesday - Was a great hit from the first minute, Blaze loves it. It is only showing VERY minor damage after 4 days of playing with (a bit of decorative stitching round the nose has come loose), he's nowhere near getting the squeak out. A MAJOR success, I reckon we have all had £4 worth of fun out of it already and it looks ready to last.

    Thanks everyone .
    I try not to get too stressed out on the forum. I won't argue, i'll just leave a thread if you don't like what I say. :)

    I got the kongs for mine but they had no interest in them. I now get the kong tennis balls with a squeaker. They havent yet torn one of those open - all other normal squeakers have been ripped apart in less than a minute before, which is pretty dangerous.

    I tried those but they didn't last long, maybe 5 minutes at most :(
