FAQs
What material is the ball made from?
The ball is made from highly robust plastic, designed for durability during play.
How large is the opening on the ball?
The opening has a diameter of 1.5 cm and is closable.
Can I put anything other than treats inside the ball?
Yes, you can also fill it with noise-making material to further engage your dog. Ensure any inserted items are safe for pets.
Is this ball suitable for aggressive chewers?
While made of robust plastic, it is primarily designed for fetching and interactive play. For dogs that are extremely aggressive chewers, supervision is recommended, and it may not withstand prolonged chewing.
Will the ball float in water?
Yes, the ball is floatable and suitable for play in water.
What are the dimensions of the ball?
The diameter of the ball is 30 cm.
Is this toy suitable for puppies?
Due to its size (30 cm diameter) and robust material, it is generally more suitable for medium to large breed puppies that have developed their adult teeth. Always supervise young puppies during play.
Troubleshooting
Ball does not float properly
Ensure the ball is completely dry inside and out. Any moisture trapped inside could affect buoyancy. Also, check that the closable opening is securely shut.
Treats are not dispensing
Verify that the treats or kibble are small enough to fit through the 1.5 cm opening. If using larger items, they may need to be broken down. Ensure the opening is positioned correctly for dispensing.
Dog is chewing excessively and damaging the ball
This ball is designed for play and fetching, not for prolonged, aggressive chewing. Supervise your dog during play and remove the ball if they start to chew it destructively. Consider interactive play sessions rather than leaving it as a chew toy.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly durable plastic construction for longevity.
- Versatile use with closable opening for treats or sound.
- Encourages physical activity and mental stimulation.
- Floatable design expands play options to water environments.
- Promotes positive owner-dog interaction.
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. Simply open the closable opening (diam. 1.5 cm) by gently prying it open, fill with desired treats or noise-making material, and securely close it before play. Ensure the opening is fully sealed to prevent treats from spilling out too easily.
Compatibility: Suitable for dogs of various sizes, though its large diameter (30 cm) is best suited for medium to large breeds. It is compatible with dry treats, kibble, and safe, non-toxic noise-making inserts.
Care: Clean the ball regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before storing or offering it back to your dog. Inspect the ball periodically for any signs of damage, such as cracks or sharp edges, and discontinue use if significant wear is observed.
