Big hit with lab puppy
We have a 5 month old lab puppy who LOVES this thing. She’s very tough on toys but this one has held up surprisingly well so far. She can drag it, chew it and squeak it, all with the classic durability of a Kong. Only negative I can think of is the squeaker she loves is SO LOUD. But worth it to keep her entertained for a bit! I can foresee us buying more of these over time.

A favorite toy for our two dogs
This is the toy that our dogs will pick out from their “toy box” every time from a wide selection of chew and tug toys, bones, balls, etc. They will sometimes even engage in tug of war with each other. We know from experience that this is a dog toy that is durable and will withstand a lot of use and wear. The first one we owned lasted maybe 10 years and was even passed from one generation of dogs to the next. My only comment is that if you have an aggressive chewer, you should probably use this toy for supervised play. The fabric and stitching is tough but a determined chewer can still destroy it.

Hack With-In
Over the 10+ years have been lucky enough to have a dog in my life have had many versions of these. Used to get one & it would last years. Now lasts weeks/month. Fabric is softer/less sturdy leading to ease destruction. The fabric collars that separate the two rubber balls inside & seals the 2 balls in the fabric shell tend to separate where stitched together – I have a fix for that which GREATLY increases the life of these that is simple, easy, inexpensive.Zip ties. I get whatever size is cheapest in a 20 pack. I zip tie the bottom fabric gasket & a 2nd to retain form/separate the 2 balls (smaller from larger). Any sharp edges on the zip ties can be softened or rounded to prevent injury by melting & molding sharp edges smooth in the hard plastic zip ties with a wand lighter (just practice safety). This saved one Kong that was 8 years old @ another that was days old from this seller (when both would’ve been trash-bound).These are then good for fetch, tug, shaking. For those dogs that tend to lie there & destroy (I.e. puppies/adolescent ~ 1 yr old “destructive stage”) – these will need supervision & removal to prevent shredding/eating the flappy material & help teach appropriate play.

Good for for supervised play or non-chewers
First, let me say that the dogs LOVED this toy, so I would give it 5 stars for pup appeal. That said, it didn’t last a month, so I gave it 3 stars for durability (see more about that below). Disappointing for a KONG toy, to say the least, but to be fair, we weren’t strict about supervising play until we could see how it lasted. Having had such good luck with the Stuff-A-Ball, I wasn’t too worried. I should have been.Construction: This was a big toy (as one might expect from a toy labelled “extra large”), and measured about 16″ long and around 3″ across the widest part of the body. The large “belly” ball is a large, soft rubber squeaker with a relatively high pitch that was quite loud. The small ball at the top was a standard “dog-safe” tennis ball. The whole apparatus is covered in a nylon “canvas” that is pretty durable for tug play. The cover is held in place with bands of the same fabric where the two balls meet and where the tail is joined to the bottom. That bottom band was the Wubba’s downfall here.The dogs: Breque is a 35# Red Heeler/Kelpie mix, who is very high energy and hard-playing. She has outgrown chewing, but loves to work her powerful jaws on things (she can pop a new regulation tennis ball), and to shake and throw toys around. Lance is an 80# Lab-Pit mix, about 2 years old, who would much rather lie around and maul – not chew, maul – things. He picks threads to open toys so he can pull the squeakers out, de-furs fuzzy toys (picks the fur out one tuft at a time), unlaces shoes, and mauls anything with any sort of resistance. Breque could probably have played with the Wubba for a long time (in fact, she has a smaller version), but Lance mauled it in half. Literally. The fabric band at the base gathers the rest of the cover together and joins it to the tails. That means there are some small, semi-rigid pleats, and a lovely (and probably otherwise sturdy) band of fabric that just begs to be mauled. Lance picked at the pleats until they gave way and then chewed the tails off.On a good note: the tails have survived a lot of tugging and shaking and chewing since the demise of the original toy, and I stuffed the supersized squeaker in an old sock to make a new toy for supervised play. Unfortunately, the two just aren’t as appealing as the original toy, so they don’t get much attention unless there’s a human involved.For supervised play or for dogs who have matured out of the chewing/mauling stage, I would still definitely recommend the Wubba. Our dogs loved it both for interactive play and as the go-to toy to entertain themselves, and we may try again once Lance gets past the Mr. Destructo stage.
