A turnip turns into a daisy, an eggplant into a leaf, a cantaloupe into a star  and a tomato into a rose.

In 2004, he opened Chef Ray Presents, where he teaches the specialized art form to a wide variety of professionals across the United States. Duey has received numerous awards in national and international competitions. In addition, he is also corporate executive chef at Buffet Euro, San Francisco, CA.

Best squeaky ball for the buck!!
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
my 90lb Pit, LOVES these balls.. and they have been lasting for months!! The squeaker is ok, those are lasting a week or two.. but that's better than average for my guy. At $4 a ball in the 4 pack, it's a great deal for a dog that loves a new toy every month .. I give him one at a time, the 4 pack lasts for many months of fun.

Durable and Fun!
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
My dog LOVES these balls and barks with excitement when the box arrives. These balls are super durable and a great size that does not allow them to roll under cabinets and sofas.

Aggressive chewer squeaky ball
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
These are fun for about a day for my young Doberman. They tear and the squeaker gets dislodged inside the ball making it not so fun anymore. Have purchased multiple times bc they’re inexpensive but found one he cannot chew through now online Not for aggressive chewers sorry.

Spikey Balls Outlast Both Dogs!
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
Our two golden-doodles have destroyed many of the chew toys I foolishly invested in. I used to measure their lifespan and durability in a matter of minutes. Shredding toys seemed their delight and specialty. Squeakers were often attacked with spectacular ferocity as if they were tests of canine ingenuity to find ways to get to, swallow, or otherwise destroy the squeaker mechanism. That is until they met these spikey dog balls with attitude. Our girls delight in chasing them down when thrown and have wearied themselves trying to figure out a way to chew through them. These balls have broken the household record for longevity. They've taken a licken and continue to squeak and delight our girls. Which delights us! Safe, great value for the money, cute, and the color has proven tough through heat, rain, lots of aggressive chewing.

Immediately rolled up under the sofa!
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
I was looking for toys that were durable, that our GSD puppy would like, and that would specifically NOT roll under the sofa every time he swatted at it because I’m tired of moving the couch every 5 minutes to retrieve another toy. This toy went under the couch within 5 minutes of opening the package. He doesn’t seem to enjoy playing with it as much as he does a regular tennis ball, it’s easier to throw far outside IMO (my husband doesn’t notice a difference). It’s not hard or soft, it’s kind of a combination of both with the knobby bumps on the outside. I speculate the bumps are part of what he doesn’t enjoy playing with. He is able to pick it up and carry it easy enough and when he does it squishes just enough for him to carry it, he’s 5 months old by the way. But the bottom line is this will likely become yet another “outside toy” in the sea of outside toys because if not I’ll be constantly fishing it out from under the couch!
