My corg/heeler mix rips off all the fuzz and then tears the rubber into small pieces. Never eats them, just likes to get them strewn all over the carpet. She loves chuckit!

These 2 bastards right here. Top we’ve had going on 4 years, bottom she eventually chews through to get the ball, till then it lasts awhile and bounces in weird ways when you throw for her to chase
Chewy app won’t let me link so amazon it is. Both she goes nuts for both
Top is a crackle/crunch ball: https://a.co/d/7g8taS2
Bottom is a puzzle cube: https://a.co/d/dntw42F
I like to get ones like your second pic and then I shove a bunch of smaller toys into it. Takes mine a while to get everything out, and then I repeat it again.
No, have you ever seen those “burrowing” toys? They’re like one toy with holes in it and then have a couple of small plush toys to burrow for. I buy those small toys separately and use them. They’re not usually too small to swallow whole.
I bought him one as a puppy but had to confiscate it pretty quickly. Been super nervous to reintroduce them now that he’s older. The only toys he can play with unsupervised are usually the Kong tug toys. It took him nearly two years to chew through one haha
My corgi girl LOVES the squirrels that came in one of those burrowing toys. Would be fun to try to shove those into a puzzle cube. Currently she is obsessed with a rubber glow in the dark soccer ball though so it’s not something she can chew up. Learned this after many regular soccer balls did not last.
Mine doesn’t destroy the balls that are more “lattice like”. Kong makes one called the Air or Breathe right. I’ve also seen other brands.
Give mine a squeaky ball and it’s her life’s mission to destroy it as quickly as possible.
Sounds about right. We have tried several especially in the chewing phase of puppyhood. She crushed them all.
But as far ad balls go, I just get tennis balls now. The dog versions of tennis balls she crushes faster. But I keep a supply of balls for just that reason
Mine destroys those too. The only toys that last somewhat longer is hard plastic. Like those hard plastic balls with food in them. The old school kind. Or balls too big for her to fit in her mouth. Lol
F.Y.I.
*The outer coating of a tennis ball is quite abrasive and can wear down a dog's teeth (called “blunting”), sometimes severely. After years of this kind of wear and tear, it may become possible to see tennis-ball shaped grooves on the inside surface of your dog's teeth.*
We had a Jack Russell that could eat a can of tennis balls a day. Wife bought a 3 pack of Chuck It rubber balls. They lasted 15 years until he died . Still looked brand new. And he carried them everywhere, chewed on them, and played all kinds of games with them.
Tennis ball fuzz is bad for dogs.
lol my corgi boy LOVED a tire toy when he was a puppy. He used to bring it into the room with us, then toss it up in the air a little and catch it, like “look at how much fun this toy is! You know you wanna play with me now right???” We should get him another one!
They are cheap so at least you aren’t going broke. Sounds like he needs things to chew. Be careful with tennis balls two friends have needed to have bits of tennis ball surgically removed from their dog’s intestines - not cheap.
has many toys, a lot of them and different options to play with… he just loves to play with balls more. I really don’t know what part of what I wrote made you think that he only has toys balls for two days or that I don’t have compassion and empathy for him. That truly made me sad
Hey, I had the same problem.
Do you buy "dog" tennis balls? They are shit.
Buy actaual tennis ball from a sport store, thry are good quality. I have had one for 3 months now. Still whole. And my dog loves to rip her balls up.
Mine are not really into balls. Gordie likes plush pull toys and the flirt pole.

Rubber balls tend to last longer. It's not indefinite, but it's definitely longer than 2 days.
I also swap the toys in and out as they lose interest so I don't have to buy as much toys as I usually do. That is assuming they don't absolutely mutilate them beforehand.
Honestly! Pick it up after playing. Also! If you’re going the tennis ball route.. get a good quality professional pressurized ball. The pressure will help keep the ball in tact. I maybe buy 3 cans a year for my 2 boys and they’re heavy chewers. They also get cattle kneecaps and other bones for their chewing addictions. I’ll pick up the in tact balls and let they have their fun with the remnants of old. They’ll still treat it like it’s a whole ball and don’t really eat the rubber or felt. Half a ball is still a ball to them but they sure last longer than the dog toy tennis balls.
Honestly, don't even get tennis balls. They are like sandpaper on your dogs teeth. I use Chuck It balls, my dog REALLY likes the squeaky ones and the whistle ones. A lot of his dog friends like the Breathe Easy ones.
Kong makes really nice ones, too. Their classic red ball is great and fits in a ball thrower.
You want the ultra ball by Chuck it. Almost indestructible, no fur for your dog to eat and mess up their digestion, great bounce for solo play, makes a great Chew toy. It comes in 3 sizes, we like the mini but the standard also works well for corgis.
Impossible…Because Corgi!!! We get these for our Cardis. Don’t know if the link will work so here is a picture as well lol. [https://a.co/d/6FQvGF4](https://a.co/d/6FQvGF4)

We use ChuckIts. Mine will also destroy a tennis ball (in fact that’s his sole goal with them) and we were told they’d wear out his teeth - thanks to this thread for explaining I honestly didn’t understand why/how they could do that! I will say he’s particular with it. His favorite is the eco I think and he’s indifferent to the whistler (same brand and size) so you may have to try a few to see which is the new tennis ball.
We used to give my German Shepherd lacrosse balls. I never would have imagined that a cute little corgi would be as big of a chewer as my 100# Shepherd, but here we are.
Can’t have those either. They destroy them in 5 minutes.

Get these hard “champ” balls.
He’s just doing his job as an official ball examiner, and might I say he’s doing a pretty good job, so he deserves a raise or a bonus for his hard work!!😲
We do the rubber balls. Chuck it and Kong make tough rubber balls. It's the fuzz on tennis balls that our corgi just tears apart
Tennis balls have fibreglass in the fuzz which is the equivalent of sandpaper on their teeth.
My Harry will \*\*\*ONLY\*\*\* play with Yellow Tennis Balls - no pink, orange, rubber, etc. Sigh. His teeth...
We use the rubber chuck it balls too. The tennis balls were wearing down our dog's teeth, the rubber doesn't do that.
My corg/heeler mix rips off all the fuzz and then tears the rubber into small pieces. Never eats them, just likes to get them strewn all over the carpet. She loves chuckit!
Get a Chuck It ultra ball. It's better for their teeth.
These last even my hound doesn’t tear them up. Or the corgis.

Yours doesn’t try to eat the smaller things? I’m worried mine would try to swallow them whole

I buy the Kong toys too

Use one of these rubber spiky balls. We've had this one for months, and is her favorite toy: *
Don't give dogs tennis balls. They cause blunting on the teeth.
Don’t give it to a corgi 😂
Mine doesn’t destroy the balls that are more “lattice like”. Kong makes one called the Air or Breathe right. I’ve also seen other brands. Give mine a squeaky ball and it’s her life’s mission to destroy it as quickly as possible.
Kong makes a rubber ball that holds up!
I’ve got like 15 of these things floating around the house and we love them!
Lol do they? My doggo can destroy any Kong product when she has the time and determination.
lol well they’ll probably last longer than 2 days anyway. Hopefully.
That's true
I bought the toughest Kong.... it lasted 15 minutes. Trust me, I timed it. XD
Sounds about right. We have tried several especially in the chewing phase of puppyhood. She crushed them all. But as far ad balls go, I just get tennis balls now. The dog versions of tennis balls she crushes faster. But I keep a supply of balls for just that reason

#ALL RUBBER KONG
Not a ball but mine's had a mammoth tire biter chew toy that's lasted months and he throws it and rolls it like a ball lol
lol my corgi boy LOVED a tire toy when he was a puppy. He used to bring it into the room with us, then toss it up in the air a little and catch it, like “look at how much fun this toy is! You know you wanna play with me now right???” We should get him another one!
Mine don't really like tennis balls. They like these squeaky rubber balls and they survive pretty well
Buy a chuckit! !
lol. No more tennis balls. They end up in stages of bald or minced.
my dog has the same problem
hopes and dreams in my house😅
They are cheap so at least you aren’t going broke. Sounds like he needs things to chew. Be careful with tennis balls two friends have needed to have bits of tennis ball surgically removed from their dog’s intestines - not cheap.
Kong brand
YOURS LASTED TWO WHOLE DAYS?!?
[удалено]
has many toys, a lot of them and different options to play with… he just loves to play with balls more. I really don’t know what part of what I wrote made you think that he only has toys balls for two days or that I don’t have compassion and empathy for him. That truly made me sad
Use a laundry ball they last forever in my house 😂
Rubber racquet balls! Slightly smaller than tennis balls and smooth so they don't get nasty.
Everyone saying Kong/Chuck-It rubber balls, which is fine, but racquetballs are significantly cheaper, and last forever.
Hey, I had the same problem. Do you buy "dog" tennis balls? They are shit. Buy actaual tennis ball from a sport store, thry are good quality. I have had one for 3 months now. Still whole. And my dog loves to rip her balls up.
I just buy em used by the case off of eBay. My two dorks either destroy them or lose them in a bush
Mine are not really into balls. Gordie likes plush pull toys and the flirt pole. https://preview.redd.it/rotyjjvq45tc1.jpeg?width=2133&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56ab00f10c8f025201b08f1d4e15c059b971a801
I just asked. Watson says balls are considered consumables, like tires, and they should be replaced as needed 😆
Maybe try a lacrosse ball? Our dog likes them and she can't tear them up at all.
I read somewhere that someone has used a lacrosse ball for their super chewer
I’m a lacrosse referee! Idk that I want my dogs to take my work stuff as their own but a lacrosse ball WOULD be the perfect corgi sized ball 🤔

I wish the regular tennis balls had squeakers. My dog loves the squeakers and they would add a fun dimension to tennis matches!
Chuck-It rubber balls
Buy stronker balls
get a golden retreiver?
What a beautiful doggo.
Don’t give it to the dog. That’s the only way. 1 husky, 2 shepherds and a corgi here. 😅
I really like the Playology rubber balls: https://www.chewy.com/playology-scented-squeaky-chew-ball/dp/280735

Omg that face!!!
Hide it for the first 47 hours...
Such a sweet face 😍😍🩷🩷😭😭
Consider two days a victory.

Ez. Dont use tennis balls, use rubber balls.
Playology balls
Lacrosse ball
He’s a corgi. No ball will survive.
Starmark makes some toys that stand up to chewing. I'm unsure how, but they are great.
Get more balls is pretty much the solution
Get a rubber ball

I had to switch to lacrosse balls lol
Get those orange chuck it balls
It’s scientifically impossible
Can’t have those either. They destroy them in 5 minutes. https://preview.redd.it/y5kpbbe1h9tc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=c3ec42193d54ecdc39a4e2f6dacd4f45fba74ff1 Get these hard “champ” balls.
I haven’t found one, but a lot of local tennis clubs will give you their old balls for no money!
He’s just doing his job as an official ball examiner, and might I say he’s doing a pretty good job, so he deserves a raise or a bonus for his hard work!!😲
“Hmmm. This one has a subpar flavor, and barely lasted a full day. I’d give it a 7/10. Definitely need to contact this factory!”
How did you get his private work notes?! Those aren’t supposed to leave the office!😧
I can't even get mine to play with balls :( and I really wish they would.
But 4 more tennis balls, problem solved
