The perfect Ball for Bull Terriers and Heavy Chewers:
My Experience with the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball
Hello, Bull Terrier and dog lovers! I'm thrilled to be back with a new article, finally, after taking a break to focus on my personal life. And what better way to make a comeback than to share something useful, such as my latest discovery: the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball. As some of you may know, my beloved Bull Terrier girl Mila has always been a chewer. She has never been a super aggressive chewer but engaged enough to sometimes make playtime a bit of a challenge.
I have trained her to be gentler with her toys. To some point we've been successful with that. But I still would not trust her alone for an hour with any kind of toy.
As a true Bull Terrier, she obviously loves balls, and I have been trying and testing quite a number of toys and types of balls with her.
This is not only a challenge due to her strong jaws. I also learned that the preferences of dogs can change over time. She had stopped loving those squeezable spiky balls you can buy for small money at pet stores. So, it was time to look out for something new.
And just recently, I finally discovered a material I would not have expected to withstand her powerful jaws.
The Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball is both squeezable and durable. In this article, I'll be sharing my personal experience with it. So, if you're a Bull Terrier owner or have a heavy chewer on your hands, keep reading. You're going to find out why the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball may be a really great choice for your furry friend.

Why Bull Terriers and Heavy Chewers Need Durable Toys
Bull Terriers are known for their playful and active nature, as well as their love for chewing. The latter can quickly turn playtime into destruction time. Toys that are not strong enough to withstand their powerful bite can easily break apart. This can lead to potential choking hazards for any heavy chewing dog breed. That's why it's crucial to look for durable toys that can withstand their chewing habits. A durable toy doesn't replace supervision during playtime. But it's a lot easier to intervene if the toy is not destroyed within seconds.
Today, I will be sharing my personal experience with the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball, a foam ball that has proven to be a strong and safe option for Mila, and I'm pretty sure other heavy chewers alike.
While a durable toy doesn't replace supervision during playtime it's a lot easier to intervene if the toy is not destroyed within seconds.
The Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball: What Makes It Different
I have to say, the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball lives up to its name. Made from high-quality foam material, this ball is both squeezable and durable. This makes it a great option for heavy chewers like Mila. I was skeptical at first about whether the foam material could hold up to her, but after playing with it, I was pleasantly surprised. The Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball was able to withstand Mila's powerful jaws and sharp teeth.
While it started showing dents and marks pretty quickly these were all superficial. It has a good bounce and floats on water. Also, it is lightweight, which makes it perfect for indoor playtime.
What I love about the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball is that it's not only durable but also safe for my Bull Terrier. Unlike some other toys made from hard materials, the foam material of the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball won't break into small pieces that could potentially be swallowed or choke a dog. According to the manufacturer it is also free from toxic chemicals that could be harmful to dogs and humans alike.
I did my research before purchasing the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball. I read a surprising lot of positive reviews from other dog owners. That made me curious. Many of them had the same concerns as I did about the foam material, but all of them had nothing but praise for the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball's durability and safety.

The Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball comes in sizes medium and large. This variety is great for all mid-size and large dogs. I purchased the medium size (2-1/2-Inch Diameter) for Mila, and it's a perfect fit for her.
You can purchase the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball online from various retailers, including Amazon and Chewy. It is not a super pricey toy, and given its durability and safety, I think it's worth the investment. If you're looking for a toy that can withstand your furry friend's chewing habits, the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball is definitely worth considering.
My experience with the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball
Mila has been playing with this ball numerous times now. I can't talk about long-term heavy use because eventually Mila will grow tired of her new toys and no longer play with them. I was able to interest her again and again after keeping the ball away for a bit. But eventually she completely lost interest. But this is on her. That doesn't say anything about the entertainment value of the ball. My girl is just spoiled.
The most important period is the "new toy phase" because that's when she is at the highest risk of getting carried away like most dogs. This phase the ball survived with glory.
Mila is not a big fetcher. She doesn't like large or hard balls but loves to chew on a ball fitting into her mouth and to chase it on the ground. So, once she has it, she gets pretty engaged, and this ball can take it. I feel like she particularly likes the lightweight design, of the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball. It makes it easy for her to carry around. She has been carrying this ball on walks back home, which she has never done before with any other ball.
Indoor playing is also always a matter with balls. The Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball is great for indoor playtime since it's soft and won't damage any furniture or flooring.
Overall, I highly recommend to try the Starmark Fantastic DuraFoam Ball for any dog that loves to chew and play. It's a safe, durable, and entertaining toy that your furry friend will love. Don't hesitate to give it a try!

The foam material has been holding up great. Even though the ball shows quite some dents and marks from Mila's chewing, it still hasn't shown any signs of falling apart or breaking. I'm confident that it would last for many more play sessions to come.

In my blog among others I try to also address problem behavior or general problems occurring when a dog, especially a Bull Terrier, newly comes into a household. Who does not know this complaint: “My dog destroys all her toys”.
“Soft dog toys that last” and “Bull Terrier” – sounds like a paradox
