Chuckit! Large Ultra Ball 3-Inch, 1-Pack

Stick with the regular ultra balls
These ultra balls work fine -- they're certainly as bouncy and durable as the regular-sized ultra balls -- but you're paying almost as much for one large ultra ball as you do for two regular ultra balls. The large ultra balls are 3" in diameter and use the less-commonly-available [but easily orderable here on Amazon] large Chuckit thrower, whereas the regular ultra balls at 2.5" are of course the "standard" size of tennis balls. That extra half-inch doesn't seem to matter to our dogs (who are ~70lbs and ~90lbs.), although if you have something like a mastiff or great dane perhaps it would be worth it.

So, in brief... product is fine, just not really cost effective IMO.
Dog ball
This is the ONLY chewable toy my 110 pound Great Dane has not destroyed inside an hour.
Merits Kelsy's seal of approval.
Kelsy is a five year old black Lab who lives to fetch. More than anything, she loves to fetch in the lake. This bigger ball has a number of advantages. First, it's bigger, so it's easier to see when the lake gets a little choppy. Second, not everyone has one, so, when that other black lab goes chasing after his regular orange ChuckIt ball, everyone can see the size difference, avoiding unnecessary barking and snarling. Likewise, when that other black lab steals her ball and takes it back to his owner, it doesn't fit in his ChuckIt launcher, so he knows his dog is a little thief. Third, it makes more noise landing on dirt or water, so Kelsy has an easier time locating it.

I like it because it seems to be less of a choking hazard. Kelsy has been chasing and chewing on regular tennis-ball size balls for years with out any problems, but I feel the larger ball stands even less of a chance of getting lodged in her throat through some freak accident.

I suppose...
