One of many ongoing issues with being a bully breed owner are the so-called indestructible dog toys. Our babies can disprove these claims time and time again, sometimes within minutes of handing these pricey items over.
Sometimes I think about the new playground materials (the recycled tires the children are now romping over), why not just hire all the bully owners and give them a lifetime supply of kongs and consider the job done!
Stuffed Animals- 3 minutes (For those of you who don’t mind cleaning up slobbery cotton stuffing, try your local thrift store for cheap, dispensable, short-term entertainment for Fido.)
Fuzzy Wuzzy was decapitated!
Tennis balls- 7 miuntes (For those of you who don’t mind cleaning up the tiny pieces of green fuzz and rubber try scavenging your local tennis court for lost free treasures. I found an entire grocery bag full of brand new balls once!)
Bye bye ball! Ross is still avail-a-bull for adoption at itsthepits.org
Kong- 30 minutes
"You may put up a good fight, but in the end I will succeed."
Extreme Kong- 45 minutes
Rope toys- How much does a new vacuum cost?
"Don't blame us, it was the cats fault!"
Through my numerous years of pit bull ownership and rescue volunteering I have been ask time and time again, “My dog tears through toys that claim to be indestructible. What can I give my pit that they won’t destroy in 20 minutes?”
Well I have finally found the answer thanks to Brie and her daddy John.
Chuckit! Ultra Ball Dog Toy
- Designed for the most demanding use, this is no ordinary ball
- Simply put, this is the best ball for the game of fetch
- Developed to have high bounce, high buoyancy, high visibility, and high durability, the value of the Ultra Ball is easily recognized by dog owners
- The Chuckit! Ultra Ball promises to outplay the ordinary
- Compatible with Chuckit! Dog Toy Launcher
No where does it claim to be indestructible however this is the only item I have found that our furkids cannot rip to shreds in minutes flat. Look for these orange globes of answered prayers at your local Petco.
Happy chewing!
"Why haven't I been able to get through this thing? Fine I'll just nap instead!"
Awesome!! I’ll have to look for these things as my 78 lb Titan can destroy Kongs and just about anything else he wants! I’ve had good success with the plastic jolly balls (BIG ones) but those are not indoor safe. Thanks for this. I’ll definitely pass onto my other “bully” mommy’s & daddy’s!

Isn’t this the truth! My two pits don’t like Kongs so I’ve been out of luck! Our first girl, Diva, does love her Jolly Balls toss ‘n tug balls. Of course, she immediately removes the little handle that makes it “tug”-able. But after that they hold up well. Our newest girl, Angel, however, doesn’t like balls, at all. So for her the rope toys at least last a few days…and our carpets are covered with stringy pieces of rope.
