Two out of three dogs love playing with this, especially in the water. One star deducted because larger dogs can easily chew the plastic with their teeth, causing deep grooves or holes. So, as with everything, keep an eye on it.

We've had this item for many years now. However, I find the plastic far too hard. It makes an awful racket when the dog plays with it. I’d prefer the smaller version of it. There are small, medium, and large sizes. This one is the largest.

... unfortunately, our ball-crazy dog managed to bite such dents into the tip that he can now comfortably take the egg in his mouth and carry it around. I'll probably buy a new one and only let him play with it under supervision. Before that, the fun was immense. If pictures are needed, I can send some.

Our Spike was really excited about the FunEgg. He loves playing with it and spends a lot of time doing so. I do find it a bit hard, but it doesn’t seem to bother him—he doesn’t play with it endlessly, but he keeps coming back to it. However, it’s finally a toy that can’t be destroyed straight away—balls don’t stand a chance with us. Conclusion: a sturdy toy that gives the dog loads of fun—maybe there’ll soon be a softer (joint-friendly) but equally durable version.

I’ve bought this runningEgg three times already. That’s because, over time, the material becomes so cracked and sharp-edged from the dog’s teeth that it can injure the dog’s tongue when they lick the Egg. This always happens during play, and for this reason, our dog has ended up with a bloody tongue once before. At that point, the Egg has to be thrown away! But if you keep an eye on it and take it out of use in time, i.e., as soon as deeper cracks appear, nothing will happen. My Belgian Shepherd absolutely loves it and goes crazy running around the garden with it. However, I wouldn’t recommend using it indoors, at least not for large dogs, as the toy can unpredictably fly around the room.

My furry friend (a 4-year-old CdB mix) enthusiastically chased the Egg around, using her paws and mouth. When she grabbed it with her mouth, the hard Egg already got a few light scratches. The game worked best on a slight slope. The game resets when the slope ends. Similar to a lure game, the dog needs active guidance, commands, and praise to keep it engaging and prevent it from becoming one-sided. After all the physical and mental activity, she was really well-exercised and properly tired afterwards. On very muddy ground, the dog can get quite a few splashes of dirt around the eye area.

We received the Egg as a gift. Our Labrador loves it. We always play with it together, and she gets excited as soon as we head out to the garden with the Egg. But I think it depends on each individual dog. The first time we saw the Egg was at dog training school, and most of the dogs showed zero interest in it. One star deducted because the price is a bit steep.

My Labrador loves the egg and plays with it very enthusiastically. It's perfect on short grass, and he has a lot of fun with it. The egg is really sturdy – however, it's made of hard plastic, which means it made an infernal noise on our laminate flooring indoors, so we now only use it outside. Great toy – highly recommended!

Our Dalmatian male immediately declared the yellow egg his favourite toy; at least, his sister isn’t allowed to play with it yet, which is usually the case. He even leaves his favourite ball behind for the egg. The egg gets worked on with his paws, making it "fly" in all directions. He also rolls it in front of him with his mouth and gets quite worked up because he can’t grab hold of it. That’s why we only play with the egg briefly and together, and always outdoors. Sharp throws are not allowed, as the dog could easily get hurt. Our female dog is now getting a red egg...,o)

Our 5-month-old Labrador Retriever loved the egg from the very first moment. However, it's not suitable for indoor use (with laminate flooring), as the noise level gets quite high, and I'm a bit worried about my wooden and glass furniture. ;o) It's a shame this egg isn't available in hard rubber. To make it easier for our Barney to grip the new toy, I left the packaging net on... though I'll have to come up with another solution soon and keep an eye on him in the meantime. Otherwise: thumbs up!

My Boxer-Dogo female (1 1/2 years old) absolutely loves the egg like crazy. I've had it for almost a year now, and apart from a few grooves from her teeth, the egg is still intact. Unfortunately, my madam gets so carried away when playing that she ends up biting her own tongue and lips until they bleed, so I always have to take it away from her. By now, the grooves have become so pronounced that she can easily grip and carry the egg. I'll be ordering a new one though, as it really tires my dog out, lasts a long time, and is a great change of pace.

My dog goes absolutely crazy for it afterwards, and he loves playing with it outside (indoors it bumps into everything).

I'm thrilled with the egg. So are my dogs: two English Bulldogs, two German Shepherds. However, my female German Shepherd managed to break the egg. First, she managed to grind grooves all around the egg with her teeth, and eventually, she made two holes in it. I decided to throw the egg away after that. But it lasted a really long time. And she was absolutely "crazy" about it. I'll definitely order it again because it was great fun for everyone.

Well, my dog loves this ball. She won’t go outside without it anymore ;) Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, since it’s made of plastic and she can’t hold it in her mouth, she keeps biting her tongue while playing. Oh well, such games make you thirsty, and as a result, her tongue gets longer by the minute and eventually gets in the way ;) But honestly, it’s still the best "ball" I’ve ever bought!

Our dog, an Australian Kelpie, is absolutely thrilled with this egg. We spent quite a while looking for a toy that our dog wouldn’t destroy so quickly (within 2 minutes). We’ve finally found it. Members of our dog club told us about the egg and how their two German Shepherds were having loads of fun with it. So, we decided to give the egg a try as well. And our dog has had a great time with it (even after 2 years), though we didn’t consider how clever our dog is. He’s figured out how to rotate the egg in his paws so that the pointed end faces upwards, and then he picks it up in his mouth. This way, he manages to carry the egg all around the garden. The egg is highly recommended for any dog owner who wants to keep their furry friend entertained and tire them out while avoiding mindless boredom.

Our dog Spike (Australian Shepherd) is absolutely thrilled with this thing. Normally, Spike and his owners manage to break everything while playing, but the egg is still intact. For dogs that love the fun and excitement of chasing something they can't easily catch, the egg is perfect.

My Entlebucher Mountain Dog loves the egg. It's also very sturdy and only has a few tiny scratches (even though I've had it for almost a year now). However, I always have to kick or throw the egg for her to chase it. Throwing it is quite risky because I'm afraid the large egg might fall on my dog's head. Kicking it is pretty painful, even with sturdy shoes.

At the moment, we’re only using the egg indoors. It’s pretty noisy, but it’s also loads of fun. My almost 2-year-old Giant Schnauzer bitch has destroyed every toy in no time at all so far, but the egg has lasted for 2 weeks now – that’s a record ;-)! I think it’ll be even more fun outside in the summer! I haven’t thought of putting treats inside it yet.

So, I (or rather, my dog) tested the egg. It's good; my dog plays with it on his own for a while. Disadvantages of the egg: it's too hard. My dog plays a lot with his paws, and when the egg bangs against them, I'm worried he might hurt himself. Also, it didn't take long before he brought the egg to me in his mouth. Since then, he only tries to pick it up with his mouth and bring it to me. Now the egg looks like this: full of deep dents from his teeth. My dog is a Malinois-Border Collie mix.

Today, I threw the egg into the snow for my 10-month-old Retriever mix. He spent ages playing with it and it really tired him out. At some point, though, you should end the game and focus on your dog again, so he doesn’t get completely worked up, as he can only chase the egg without ever achieving a sense of success. In my opinion, as long as you don’t constantly give your dog the egg for self-entertainment and continue to actively engage with him yourself, it’s a great toy. But as I said, only in moderation.
