Product Information

This leaves you and your common sense as the only thing standing between your dog and toxic or otherwise harmful toys. Toys made of various forms of plastic or vinyl, for example, can contain various toxic additives [ 5]. No matter if you decide to add treats or not, I discovered that these balls are also great for playing fetch. If the ball is left empty, the holes will produce a whistling sound while flying through the air which some dogs find super entertaining. Keep in mind that once your dog gets the hang of the toy, he might be able to get treats out much more easily than on his first go.

Today we’re looking at several different types of treat balls. These treat balls are functionally very similar, but there are a few differences that might make one ball more suitable for your dog over others. Best Treat Dispensing Balls When choosing a dog ball, it's important to consider your dog's size, age, and play style. For example, a smaller dog may prefer a smaller ball, while a larger dog may need a more durable option. Interactive toys can be great for dogs who enjoy a challenge, while simple tennis balls are always a classic choice. Knowing more about the different types of dog balls out there to choose from can help you to choose the right one for your pooch. This forced Remy to squeeze the ball with his mouth to dislodge food. On the ball where tabs are removed, Remy will instead just roll the ball around with his nose and let the kibble fall out on the ground as the ball rolls across the ground. Squeakers keep dogs interested, especially when they have a high prey drive. If your ears can handle it, they’ll also keep a curious puppy busy indoors.

In its basic form, the Hol-EE Roller toy is the perfect fetching ball since its flexible rubber and many holes make it easy for dogs to carry. Throw it, roll it, or bounce it to your pooch to chase after and enjoy! First, we have spiked balls, which are made from durable rubber. They are soft and the spikes have a massaging effect on your dog’s gums. These are commonly used indoors and they can be great for chewing on when your dog is simply feeling lazy. Not all balls are made to float in pools or rivers, but it is a nice bonus to have if you have a pooch who loves water. Many balls that claim to be indestructible sink due to the high density of the materials used, but not all of them do. If you have a water dog then keep an eye out for this attribute. That said, pet parents praise their overall durability. And if your dog manages to take a chunk out of one, the food-grade rubber is unlikely to form a sharp edge.

It comes in a bright range of colours and is surprisingly tough, designed for heavy chewers to build strength in their jaws. But it's not so tough that it doesn't bounce! In fact, there's not a lot that this ball doesn't do! I find the funnel design works best for the Starkmark ball due to the more flexible, pliable material. Most other treat-dispensing balls are made of very hard materials that don’t have much give, making it a lot harder to nudge a funnel into the hole. So what kind of material should you look for when it comes to treat balls? In most cases, rubber is the safest option and preferably natural rubber. Rubber simply has the perfect texture for a toy that can be thrown around and lightly chewed on. It’s fairly elastic, so the surface isn’t too hard, but at the same time doesn’t break apart easily. SafetyThe Vivifying indestructible dog ball is an all natural ball made from high quality rubber with no added toxic elements. The material is gentle on your dog’s mouth while still being sturdy enough for everyday playing with even the most aggressive chewers. The ball comes in three bright colors for you to choose from, purple, blue and orange. Usually, you will be playing with your balls for dogs outside in all weather conditions, so they need to be able to stand up to the task. Remember that larger dogs are more likely to damage a ball as they have stronger gripping jaws, so they need toys that are made of more durable materials. Washing. Some owners may prefer to only go for toys that can be washed in the dishwasher. Some balls are definitely tougher to clean than others. The ingenious, patented honeycomb design made from natural rubber makes this ball something special and it will be very new and exciting for your dog to play with. It is tough, stretchy and even bouncy. It’s wonderfully squishy design is unusual and great fun, especially when the intriguing hexagonal cut-out rubber cage is holding a treat or two.

A proprietary glow pigment creates this effect after the ball sits for five minutes under a bright light—the glow can last up to 30 minutes. With any kind of toy (or object, for that matter) that goes inside your dog’s mouth, it’s important to pay attention to the safety of materials used. Unfortunately, the regulations regarding dog toy safety in Australia are very lax [ 4], and the regulation of the industry is generally neglected pretty much everywhere in the world. Kibble Cup Size. Consider how much kibble each ball can hold. If you plan on feeding your large dog his entire dinner with a treat ball, you’ll probably want a ball that can hold 1-2 cups of kibble. For smaller dogs or for one-off occasions, smaller balls will do just fine.Available in three sizes and three versions with different sounds, the Babble Ball is noted for being tougher and longer-lasting than rubber or soft plastic interactive balls. Because of its strength, however, it should only roll on the ground. So no throwing, bouncing, or tossing for this dog ball.

Small dog breeds from Chihuahuas to Yorkies like to play as much as their large dog counterparts, but their mouths don’t always fit around a classic ball toy. Enter the JW Pet Hol-ee Roller. Made from natural, non-toxic rubber, this unique ball toy is so stretchy, you can play tug with it. The way it works is that there are four little tabs on the top and bottom of the ball. When you cut a tab, the treats will fall out just a bit more easily.Gnawsome balls are covered in pliable spikes that most dogs can’t resist chewing. This version adds a bounce-activated LED light for nighttime play (or just extra fun). One of the most ubiquitous substances is Bisphenol-A or BPA. While there are differing opinions on the level of toxicity of BPA for dogs, newer studies do show that higher levels of BPA do have an impact on the dog’s microbiome [ 6], and that certainly doesn’t sound like good news. That is the end for this product review and recommendation. Now that I have gone over the best and worst attribute of an indestructible dog ball with you I hope you have a wonderful time choosing your dog’s new toy. These aren’t just any tennis balls.
