dog ball
Color: Blue
This ball is perfect for keeping my dog ​​active and entertained. It's made of strong, durable material, ideal for games of fetch. It doesn't break easily and is light enough for him to carry in his mouth without any problem.

Fun but not for rough play.
Color: Orange
The ball contented our “golden” Jaxson for about 15 minutes. He then thought it was a regular ball and it’s just a little delicate for a big dog. I just wrote it off as a loss. Great idea but should be more durable.

PERFECT Toy Aussie Puppy Toy!!
Size: Small Size 1, Color: A-Colorful Pink, Size: Small Size 1, Color: A-Colorful Pink
If I could give this six out of five stars I would. I’m so grateful that there are multiple size options so I could pick the perfect size for my puppy. As a 4 1/2 pound puppy, I got him the smallest size ball. It’s the perfect size for him and he’s able to pick it up at any corner with the strap zone on to it. It’s very thick and durable but also lightweight so my 4 1/2 pound puppy is able to run with it in its mouth easily. He loves chewing the tabs and they haven’t budged or broken. It’s excellent quality and worth every dollar. We used this ball indoors and outdoors all day long, it’s his favorite toy!!
