Product Information

If your dog is having trouble getting treats out initially, you can just cut one tab at a time until your dog has more success accessing the treats. At Hyperdrug, we offer a variety of dog balls to suit all types of dogs. Browse our selection and find the perfect ball for your pet! Shop Our Selection of Dog Balls 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.

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. Orbee-Tuff balls are waterproof and buoyant and come in a variety of ball shapes for all sports fans. The football toy is especially popular because it’s easy for dogs to grab but stands up to tugging. Plus, Orbee-Tuff balls combine the best of both (dog) worlds: fetch and treats.I’ve found that if you slowly pour in the kibble a little bit at a time, and shake the funnel a bit as you go, the kibble will feed into the ball smoothly and easily. Coates, Jennifer. August 14, 2015. “How to Get Dogs to Eat Slower”. PetMD. Retrieved February 6, 2023. https://www.petmd.com/blogs/nutritionnuggets/dr-coates/2015/august/how-get-dogs-eat-slower-33018 When it comes to treat balls, they need to be tough. After all, the point of the game is to get the dog to try and reach the treats. Inevitably, this will involve some chewing attempts and you want the ball to be able to withstand that. Using a ball that is too soft would make it easy for the canines to chew it apart and the small bits can be a choking hazard.

Owners have noted that the smaller ball doesn’t seem to hold up as well to chewers, so opt for the large size if you have a chompy dog!

As well as being super stretchy, this quirky toy is super tough and can withstand games of tug as well as fetch. Woof! Ease of Kibble Filling. It’s also important to keep in mind your own commitment to the treat ball. If it’s a pain to fill each day, will you keep using it? If you know you get a bit lazy around feeding time, opt for a ball that’s easy to fill and won’t be a pain for you to use. Games that involve treats, no matter if in the form of a ball or another puzzle, have many benefits for dogs. First of all, solving the challenge requires the dog to use the sense of smell, sight, as well as spatial orientation, which provides the mental stimulation every dog needs [ 1]. In addition, these toys can be a great way to calm dogs who seem always to be in search of food and gobble down everything too fast [ 2].

This ball comes in two sizes – a medium and a large. The medium is has a diameter of 2.75 inches while the large size has a diameter of 4 inches.

Look for non-toxic materials that have received approval from organizations such as the FDA. There are a lot of options in this category ( KONG and Orbee-Tuff also make popular rope-ball toys), but we like the Jolly Pets rope ball for its durability. It’s puncture-resistant, gentle on dog mouths, and a solid choice for tug-of-war and pups who like to grab and shake.

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.Size is another important feature. Your dog needs to be able to fit the ball comfortably in their mouth. But it can’t be too small as this could pose a choking risk to your four-legged friend. DLDER balls are designed to be nearly indestructible, made from the highest quality of materials to best ensure your dog’s toy is long lasting. All ingredients used in the making of the balls are non toxic and safe for your pet to chew on. As well as being sturdy, this ball is great for water play with its floating feature and easy to wipe of surface. The 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. Their firm yet pliable dog soccer ball retains its shape even if punctured by teeth. It’s also buoyant for playing in the water. Each color comes with a different, dog-friendly flavor. Finally, we come to the interesting part - the treats hiding function. Most treat balls will have a single hole that goes through the middle of the ball. These tend to work quite well, although I had to experiment a bit to find treats that are the perfect size to hide inside without having them fall out immediately.
