If you’ve got a pup who loves to play but tends to destroy toys in record time, check out the Caitec 8″ Plush Hero Ball 2-pack at Costco. This isn’t your typical flimsy stuffed toy—it’s built with durability in mind.
The Hero Ball is an 8-inch round plush toy designed specifically for dogs who like to fetch, toss, and chew. It features reinforced stitching and multiple layers of fabric to stand up to enthusiastic play sessions. The size makes it perfect for medium to large dogs, though smaller pups can enjoy it too. And it’s interactive! It “giggles” when you (or your pup) shakes the ball.
What really stands out is the construction quality. While no plush toy is truly indestructible (let’s be real), this one holds up better than most thanks to its multi-layer design. The downside? It’s not recommended for extreme power chewers who treat every toy like a demolition project. If your dog is a true destroyer, you might want to supervise playtime or stick with rubber options.
Bottom Line: The Caitec Hero Ball offers solid value for a durable, fun plush dog toy that can handle regular play sessions. Just remember it’s meant for moderate chewers—not dogs who see every toy as a challenge to conquer in under five minutes.

My hero giggled ball stopped giggling, how can I make it giggle again. Thats what my dog likes about the ball
Thank you
Hi Cindy, sorry to hear the giggle stopped working! Those giggle mechanisms are usually a small sewn-in module rather than a battery, so once it wears out or gets damaged from play it typically can’t be fixed at home. If it’s a recent purchase, it might be worth taking it back to Costco or reaching out to Caitec directly to see if they’ll replace it.
