Product Information
Full details
The Trixie Floatable Sporting Ball is designed for active pet owners who want to elevate their dog's outdoor exercise through interactive play and training sessions. Its primary benefit is the combination of a durable construction with a high-visibility, buoyant design that excels in water environments; however, owners of aggressive chewers should note that while durable, the ball is designed for retrieval and training rather than as a long-term chew toy.

FAQs
Is the Trixie Floatable Sporting Ball safe for pool water?
Yes, the TPR material is resistant to water, but you should rinse the toy with fresh water after use in chlorinated pools to maintain the material.
Can I leave my dog alone with this ball?
No, this is an interactive toy meant for supervised play. It is not designed to be a durable chew toy.
What is the total length of the toy?
The toy measures 20cm in total length, which includes the ball and the attached handle.
Is the ball heavy?
It is designed to be lightweight enough for easy throwing while remaining heavy enough to be durable during retrieves.
Will the colors fade if left in the sun?
While the materials are durable, prolonged exposure to direct UV rays may cause slight fading over time. Store the toy indoors when not in use.
Troubleshooting
The ball is becoming dirty or smelly.
Wash the ball with mild pet-safe soap and warm water, focusing on the nylon strap, then air dry completely.
The dog is losing interest in the ball.
Use the ball exclusively for high-value play sessions so the dog associates it with excitement and rewards.
The strap is fraying.
If the nylon shows significant signs of wear, discontinue use to prevent the strap from snapping during a throw.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This toy requires no assembly and is ready for use immediately out of the packaging. Because the toy uses a nylon strap, it is compatible with most standard dog-handling practices but should be inspected regularly for fraying.
Care instructions:
- Rinsing: After water play, rinse the ball and strap with fresh water to remove salt, sand, or pond debris.
- Drying: Hang the ball by its strap in a well-ventilated area to ensure the nylon fully dries, preventing odors.
- Inspection: Before every play session, check the integrity of the TPR surface and the stitching on the nylon strap to ensure the toy remains safe for your pet.
