Dog Ball: The Classic for Active Dogs
Hardly any toy delights as many dogs as a ball. It rolls, bounces and simply begs to be chased. Here you'll find tough dog balls for different kinds of play: a solid rubber ball for throwing, a floating TPE ball with nubs, a treat ball you can fill, a ball on a rope with a little bell and a large herding ball measuring 30 cm across, so there is something for every type of player.
Which Ball Suits Your Dog?
For throwing games in the park or field, a solid rubber ball is a good choice because it can handle a firm bite. If your dog loves splashing about, take a floating TPE ball that stays easy to spot on the water. Its nubs massage the gums while your dog chews. The ball on a rope can be flung a long way and also works for short tug games. With the treat ball, play turns into foraging: your dog rolls it around until the treats drop out, which keeps it busy for quite a while.
Herding Ball and Safe Play
The large herding ball is made for treibball, a dog sport in which your dog pushes the ball in one direction with its nose and shoulder. This builds concentration and teamwork between the two of you. One rule applies to every ball: it must be bigger than your dog's mouth so that it cannot slip into the throat. If a ball shows cracks or chewed patches, it is time to replace it before pieces break off.
Frequently asked questions
Are tennis balls safe for dogs?
Tennis balls are not made for dogs. Their felt acts like sandpaper on the teeth when chewed, and small balls can get stuck in the throat of larger dogs. A dog ball made of solid rubber or TPE is the safer choice.
How much ball play is healthy?
Many dogs would chase a ball for hours. Constant throwing can strain the joints and get your dog overexcited, though. Short rounds with breaks, mixed with search games or obedience exercises, are much better.
What can I do if my dog won't give the ball back?
Offer a treat or a second ball in exchange and praise your dog as soon as it lets go. That way it learns that giving up the ball pays off and that the game carries on afterwards.
Dog Balls for Play and Exercise
For many dogs, a ball is simply part of life. Chasing after it gives your dog a good physical workout, and bringing it back trains teamwork with you along the way. A solid rubber ball stands up to strong chewers, while a floating TPE ball comes along to the lake and helps care for the teeth with its nubs. On a rope, the ball flies especially far and doubles as a tug toy. You fill the treat ball with snacks so your dog can earn its own reward. For dogs that love to push and herd, the large herding ball is a great activity that challenges mind and body alike. Whatever ball you choose, make sure it is big enough for your dog's mouth, and replace it as soon as it shows any damage or chewed spots. A quick check after each game keeps play safe and the fun going for longer.
