Varsity Ball: World’s Toughest Dog Toy – Guaranteed Indestructible {Daisy Tested!}

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

If your dog is like Daisy you are probably sick of spending money on dog toys, only to have them destroyed as soon as you get them home. Not only is it a waste of money, but there is always the risk of your dog eating the pieces of the toy once they’ve ripped it apart.

We’d heard about Varsity Ball and their 110% Guaranteed indestructible toy and were super excited at the invitation for Daisy and her boyfriend Fin to put it to the test. If you aren’t already familiar with it, Varsity Ball is a dog toy designed for use by large, athletic, and high-energy dogs such as Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, German Shepherd Dogs, Mastiffs, Labrador Retrievers and more.  It’s perfect as a toy for herding dogs, a toy for working dogs, a toy for big dogs, a toy for tough dogs, a toy for athletic dogs, or a toy for high-energy dogs.

Not only do many police dog trainers use it with their dogs, but it’s also even been tested in zoos! They’ve sold thousands, with zero busted. Check out the 1-minute video to see what I mean:

Now Daisy is only about 50 pounds, and Fin is 75lbs but the two of them together can destroy almost anything. So I took the Varsity Ball to our dog park and let them have at it! They ran, they chased, they jumped on it and even tried to eat it. As you can see…they fought the ball, but THE BALL WON!

That’s what you want in a dog toy…for it to last longer than the dogs playing with it, and really tire them out. As they say, a tired dog is a GOOD dog!  Daisy also really enjoys “herding” it around inside our place on rainy days (which we have a lot of right now). Basically, if you want something to both entertain and exercise your dog, then you can’t go wrong with Varsity Ball. And don’t worry if yellow isn’t your thing. It also comes in white and orange.

Varsity Balls are made in the USA and are 110% guaranteed to be indestructible – if your dog breaks it, they’ll replace the ball plus 10% of your purchase price! 

If you’d like to get one for your dog, they are available at Varsity Pets for $39.99 plus $11.99 for shipping. Don’t freak out about the cost of shipping…the ball is LARGE (12″ in diameter) and heavy-duty (3.5 pounds) so it costs more to ship, but is totally worth it considering their indestructible-ness! It also makes a great gift for those big dogs in your family! Visit VarsityPetsOnline.com for more product info and details about the guarantee.

K9 Kamp Week 2 Highlights: We’re on the Ball…Kinda!

Daisy as a Puppy with Basketball

The challenge for Week #2 of K9 Kamp was Play with Your Balls! Daisy has been a fan of playing ball since she was a puppy  and discovered her papa’s basketball but despite our best intentions, the heat and tropical rains got the better of us most days this week so we had to get creative with our challenge activities. We didn’t do nearly as much as we would have liked but we did what we could and had a good time!

Tennis Anyone?

We don’t have a yard for off leash play, and the dog park was pretty swampy most of the week except for the day Daisy had a play date with her boyfriend Fin and they both just laid in the shade because it was too hot! So, we decided to sneak in to the tennis court while no one was looking.

Daisy Tennis

Daisy and I took advantage of the space to run around and chase the ball and each other, and I bounced it -sometimes over the net and sometimes just short – so that she was constantly guessing which way to go to try to catch it!

Walking Kick Ball:

Daisy Pink Nebo Ball

We play this game a lot on our regular walks. Daisy will find a coconut or old water bottle or something else that rolls and I kick it along ahead of us while trying to speed walk fast enough to catch up to it before it rolls away. A couple times I almost kicked Daisy in the head so watch out! Usually, Daisy carries the object in her mouth for a bit while we keep walking and then I give the “Drop” command and she does (most of the time). Here’s Daisy with one of her favorite balls during our game.

Indoor Chuckit! Game:

Since we live in Florida and have a LONG rainy season, we invested in the Chuckit! Indoor Play Set and use it frequently! The Chuckit! is a ball launcher handle thing that is designed to grab and fling the ball so it cuts down on bending and touching the slobbery ball and the indoor version is made of soft material so it doesn’t break stuff when you throw it.

Daisy Chuckit Fetch

We play indoor fetch with this a lot! This is super fun and a great workout for Daisy but not so much for me, so I added a little cardio for myself by running to hide somewhere as soon as Daisy ran to chase the ball. There are only like 3 really good hiding places so she figured it out kind of quickly but it got me up from my desk and moving around a bit more than usual which I need to do more of throughout the day!

So, those are the highlights from our week! How did you do with Week #2 of K9 Kamp Fitness Challenge? Be sure to leave a comment and let us know! Check in on the other featured pet bloggers and add your post to the blog hop,  too!
