Product Information
Full details
The Trixie TPR Ball is an ideal fetch and chew toy for active dogs who enjoy interactive play and auditory stimulation. Constructed from durable thermoplastic rubber (TPR), this 8cm ball provides a resilient surface for chewing while the integrated whistle keeps dogs engaged during exercise sessions; however, because it is an 8cm diameter toy, it is best suited for medium to large breeds to prevent potential choking hazards.

FAQs
Is this toy safe for heavy chewers?
While the TPR material is durable, it is designed for active play and fetch rather than intense, prolonged chewing. Always monitor your dog during use.
Can this be used in the water?
Yes, TPR is water-resistant, making this ball a great option for games of fetch at the beach or the pool.
What is the exact diameter of the ball?
The Trixie TPR Ball has a diameter of 8 cm.
Is the whistle loud?
The whistle is designed to be audible enough to capture a dog's attention without being disruptive to neighbors.
How do I clean the toy?
Use a damp cloth with water or mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could be harmful if ingested by your pet.
Troubleshooting
The whistle no longer makes a sound.
Check the air hole for dirt or debris blockage. If the rubber is punctured or torn, the whistle mechanism may lose its effectiveness and the toy should be retired.
The ball is too slippery for the dog to catch.
Wipe the surface clean of excess slobber or moisture, as TPR can become slick when wet, making it harder for the dog to grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No setup is required; the toy is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. To maintain the life of the Trixie TPR Ball, wipe it down with a damp cloth after outdoor play to remove dirt and debris. If the ball becomes covered in saliva, a simple rinse with warm water and mild, pet-safe soap will suffice. Always inspect the ball before each play session for signs of tearing or damage to ensure your pet does not swallow any loose pieces of rubber.
