fantastic
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
As others have said, this is the only toy that my dog has not destroyed or gotten chunks out of (including sqwash and squareball although he still plays with those). On top of that, it's far and away his FAVORITE! He loves squishing it in the jaws of death and loves bouncing it around and tossing it.

Durable!
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
My very strong pit mix can destroy most things. She loves this toy! It is durable, has that squishy give she loves when she bites down on it. It bounces crazy, which is fun. It also can stand up to sitting outside in the hot California sun in the backyard day in and day out.

Great toy
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
A groomer friend gave me one of these for my dogs. They enjoyed it, but when we raised puppies it was really a popular chew toy. I bought more to send with the puppies when they went to their new homes. They love the way it bounces and rolls unpredictably. I can put peanut butter or cream cheese inside for even greater appeal. It's a great toy for teething puppies.

My 3 dogs love the turnup, but my Aussie pup is in love with her turnup! I have to hide this toy in the drawer in the bathroom so she will stop barking for it. We have other cool balls and toys for fetch games but the turnup wins the prize!

EXCELLENT!!
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
My Duck Toller adores this ball. I had bought many, many different kinds in the past & he either chewed them up or lost interest very quickly. He would never retrieve them either. When I found this ball a few years ago he became a new dog. When we get to the park he is shaking with anticiaption for me to toss the first throw. He retrievs it as well and can play for as long for over an hour. This morning we lost it in a creek & both of us were devastated. lol...As someone mentioned the only downside is it sinks quickly. However, when I got home I immediately went out & bought him a new one. We always have two on hand. He won't play with any other type of ball now. Thank you for much for introducing this great toy.

This is a great alternative to a tennis ball. My lab puppy is no longer allowed to have tennis balls since he ate a piece of one and had to have major surgery ....
This TurnUp is very indestructable and a fun toy for fetch.

The one down-side is that this toy DOES NOT FLOAT.

Terrific
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
A great fetch and retrieve ball because of the resulting odd bounces. My pal also can be a fairly aggressive chewer and has never disassembled one. My only problem with the TurnUp is that I keep losing them down the storm drain because they bounce so quickly and eratically that I can't always catch up with them. Ruger is trained not to go past the sidewalk into the street. As one reviewer suggested, a night time a "lighted" TurnUp would be great.

THE ONE-AND-ONLY
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
When last visiting us in Austria, my dad brought several TurnUps for my young Vizsla, Pan. A retriever through and through, Pan immediately decided he loved nothing better than to fetch TurnUp. It's light enough for me to get some good distance in my throws, and the bounces make for great chasing and jumping on Pan's part. For a fast, agile dog with endless energy, there couldn't be a better toy. Pan knows the name of lots of his toys, but now he'd rather bring us TurnUp more than any other. If he could have only one toy for the rest of his life, there's no question this would be it. One request--a glow-in-the-dark or lighted TurnUp would be a lifesaver at the park (Pan won't stop playing, even when the light fades).

SOLID!
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
Our bully, Bronx is 64 pounds of pure muscle! And there's nothing he loves more than chomping on his toys. And no toy is a match for him. He's destroyed about 10 Kongs now - not use regular Kongs, but the "extreme" Kongs. We liked the Kongs, but we LOVE the Turn-up! Bronx is on his 3rd Turn-Up (like I said, every toy will eventually meet their demise) and it has been very solid. Once he's done running around cashing after it, he'll settle in on a spot on the living room floor or on his bed and he will just chew like theres no tomorrow! Its been durable and has outlasted his previous toys. I thought that it might be a little too small for him at first, but the size and shape seem to be working out for him just fine. We love the bright green color! It makes it easier for us to find it when it rolls under the couch.
We'll probably order the other 2 colors as well so that Bronx has a variety...or so he can share when his dog cousins come over to play.

AWESOME!
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
This is our second turn-up, the BC has a habit of dropping her toys outside the fence to watch them roll away and our first must have gone way of the gutter cleaner.
Dot was sp excited when her 2nd one showed up, this is all we play with lately.
It fits in a chuck it for when I really need to tire them out but it is also just fun to kick around in the yard since it bounces off everything.
such a fun toy!

Pretty good
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
This is a fun toy. Rubber material is high quality. However, the fact that it bounces in crazy directions is good and bad. Good because it keeps the pooch on his toes, bad because more often than not it ends up in the bushes. And of course we bought it in green which makes it nearly impossible to find. It did spend a few months lost in the bushes until winter when we could finally spot it and seemed to weather the weather just fine. However, if you have a yard with lots of bushes or undergrowth beware that you will be spending a lot of time there. It is probably great for wide open spaces. I would recommended getting a different color other than green.

The Greatest Toys Ever
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
Endless fun, especially for the 1-year-old. The green Turn-Up (imaginatively named "Greenie") is the Inside Turn-Up. "Pinky" is for outdoors, so we can see him in the grass. The original one is so good at hiding that when he is found it's time for celebration (and temporary abandonment of the others). Is there an Academy Award for dog-toy design?

Our daughter's Vizsla (living in Vienna Austria) loves his TurnUp. It's a great toy indoor and outdoor. Odd bounces, perfect weight for throwing, and quiet on wood floors inside make this the perfect toy for any dog and a dream come true for retrievers.I bought four more lest we find our selves TurnUpless by accident!

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
My dog didn't have a toy addiction until TurnUp came along. She thinks it's pretty much the greatest toy, ever. Just a warning...be careful where you throw it inside because you can't predict the bounce and in a war between TurnUp and anything breakable that can be knocked off a shelf, TurnUp will always win.

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
I got the natural color. I like the material -- it seems very, well, natural, and safe. Charlie Bear treats work very well in here -- not too hard or too easy to get out. This is the toy that has held my busy dog's attention the longest. It's easy to clean, too. She is not a real hard chewer so I can't comment on that aspect of the toy. She lays on her back and holds the ball in her paws, looking inside to see if there is anything is left while she munches on it. Super cute!

good, tough
Would you recommend this product?.: No
This is a good tough toy for my obsessive chewer. The dog kibble just fits inside the holes, though I would prefer that one of the holes be a slightly smaller size so that it is not so easy for the kibble to get out. The Sqwash has two different size holes so it keeps my smarty-pants dog guessing as to which end she should expect a treat to fall out.

I bought this toy as a gift for my "niece" a GSD/Lab mix. She is pretty rough with her toys and very food motivated. I chose the green color, and it looks like it is bright enough that it won't get lost playing outside. It also has a moderate minty smell to it, which is surprisingly nice. Overall, I really liked this product.
