Doesn't last long
I had hoped my heavy chewer wouldn’t manage to break the thing.
After playing with it three times, the item was scratched and full of holes.
The dog quickly lost interest as well.
On top of that, I get the impression that the dog feels more stressed than entertained, as he struggles to get a grip on the thing.

Plastic - can only be nudged by the dog
My dog only plays with things he can pick up with his mouth. That’s not possible with the egg. It’s also too hard and heavy to push forward with his paw. Not fun for either of us.

Not so great
The ball is great overall, but unfortunately, my German Shepherd bit into it. The problem was that his teeth got stuck in the ball, and it took a lot of effort to get them out again. I’d be happy if the ball were a bit bigger so that large dogs couldn’t bite into it. As it is, the ball isn’t suitable for big dogs, unfortunately.

Great idea, but the hard plastic isn't suitable for sensitive banana noses.
The idea behind this runninGegg is great, but the material is far too hard, even for Bull Terriers! As a result, our MBTs ended up scraping their sensitive "banana noses" while playing with it. After playing with this toy, their noses were always scratched and sore, so after just two play sessions, we decided not to let our furry friends use this "ball" for playing or fetching anymore.

Wasn't great, unfortunately.
Our Weimaraner couldn’t care less about the egg. The product itself is actually quite well made. Since our dog couldn’t get to grips with the egg at all, the fun was over after 30 seconds, and he didn’t want anything more to do with it. Our Weimi loves carrying things around, which might be the reason why the egg is unsuitable. For us, the purchase was a flop. But every dog is different, and for some dogs, the egg is a real hit.

Parson Terrier loves it... unfortunately, his teeth don't :(
I bought this egg four years ago because the dogs already loved it at the breeder's. Mine goes absolutely crazy when he gets it... or rather, used to get it. And here's the problem: he was extremely interested in it and eventually, besides "chasing it around the garden," he figured out a way to sit on his hind legs, clamp the egg between his front legs, and then chew on it/pull his canines across it. And since the material is extremely hard, the egg only got a few scratches... The result of all this: he basically ground down his teeth :( So unfortunately (and much to the dog's disappointment), the egg had to go.

too hard
Our dog (Aussie, 2.5 years old) loves it, but after a while, he loses interest in playing because he can't hold onto it—it’s too hard and too smooth. Advantage: he can't destroy it.
I recommend it for outdoor use or indoors with carpeted floors; otherwise, it's too noisy.

Great toy, but too hard in the long run.
Our dog loves this toy, but after a short time, he developed swelling in his front joints. So if you use it, do so occasionally, not too often!

Lots of fun, but also very tough.
Our Labrador mix loved the egg, but only at first. The plastic is very hard and hurts her legs; Kira backs away and doesn’t want to play anymore. Great idea, but unfortunately, the material is too hard and hurts the dog.

Unfortunately, not indestructible
My Giant Schnauzer-German Shepherd mix has had the egg for over 2 years now. She loved it from the very beginning and prefers playing with it outside more than anything else. Unfortunately, about six months ago, she managed to bite a hole into it, which recently grew to an impressive size of over 15 cm. For safety reasons, I had to throw it away, as she had already gotten her paw stuck in the hole and could have cut herself on the sharp edges. I never in my life thought she could break a toy made of hard plastic. Shows how wrong you can be. No toy is indestructible. Since the egg is gone, my Lissy has been really sad. Despite everything, I’m convinced by the egg (after all, it lasted over 2 years) and will buy her a new one for the next 2 years or so. Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever.

Dog ball
We are also very impressed, but unfortunately, the ball is now in two pieces. We'll order another one.

Unfortunately, more frustration than pleasure
Our dog was over the moon at first, but after a short while, it ended up lying in the corner. That's why it's only 3 stars from us.

Good, but noisy
I had imagined the toy to be a bit different. On laminate flooring, it's very loud, and unfortunately, our dog just growls at it and then runs away... such a shame, but we're still trying to get her to warm up to it a bit. Every dog is different, after all...

Actually brilliant, but...
My Bernese Mountain Dog absolutely loves this egg. We've had it for a few months now. As soon as she gets into the garden, she wants to play with it. The only problem is that she keeps chewing on the tip, and it's already completely worn down...

So-so
Basically, it's a suuper activity toy for dogs. However, my dog quickly lost interest in it because he can't manage it. He just loves fetching ;)
Otherwise, a great product *thumbs up*

Our dogs don't like it at all.
We bought this egg for our two Beagles, aged 2 and 4.
Unfortunately, their interest is absolutely zero; even the usually very lively male has no interest in it. Such a shame – we could have saved the money.

Unfortunately, it failed to impress.
When this egg was added to the range, we just had to have it. Unfortunately, it didn’t go down well with us at all. For one thing, it’s absolutely only suitable for outdoor use, and for another, it quickly becomes boring. Our Labby has had the egg for a good year now, but has only played with it twice!

Unfortunately, too hard
Basically a great thing, my dogs love it, but their front legs always bang against the hard plastic egg. If I let them play with it for longer, I’m sure I’d notice changes in their legs.
