FAQs
Are these balls suitable for heavy chewers?
No. These are designed for interactive retrieval and fetching. They are not intended to be used as chew toys or left alone with aggressive chewers.
Can I use these in the ocean?
Yes, they float, but be sure to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after each session in salt water to preserve the material.
Are they the same size as a standard tennis ball?
They are designed to be a similar size for easy carrying, making them compatible with most standard fetch accessories.
How should I clean them?
Simply rinse them under clean, running water. If they are very dirty, use a mild, pet-safe soap and rinse thoroughly.
Should I supervise my dog while they play with these?
Yes. Supervision is always recommended to ensure the dog does not tear the ball apart and potentially swallow pieces.
Troubleshooting
The ball is not bouncing as high as it used to.
This is often caused by debris or water trapped inside the material. Squeeze the ball firmly to remove excess moisture and debris.
The surface of the ball feels sticky.
Rinse the ball with warm water and a mild, pet-safe soap to remove residue and allow it to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No setup is required; the balls are ready for play immediately upon opening the package. They are compatible with most standard dog ball launchers, though they are specifically designed for interactive hand-thrown games. To care for your Ancol Sports Balls, rinse them with clean water after use in salt or dirty water to prevent debris buildup. Always inspect the balls after a play session; if you notice any rips, tears, or loose pieces, remove the item immediately to prevent a choking hazard. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the elasticity of the material.
