Every dog should have its own ball: what toy will be safe and will keep your pet busy for a long time
As you know, most dogs have a soft spot for balls of all shapes, sizes and materials.
Puppies use balls to get a good rub on their gums when they are teething. They also use these toys to hone their hunting instincts and work on developing their jaws.
As adults, dogs refuse to part with the toy, as they spend time in its company while waiting for their owner and have fun with it on walks.
What a dog ball should be like
First of all, it is worth noting that the main requirement for a ball for your pet is its safety.
For this reason, it is worth choosing toys made of latex, vinyl, rubber or caoutchouc.
They will all have different levels of hardness, so if you are buying a toy for a little one who likes to spend time chewing on something, choose a soft ball. If the goal is to hone the “fetch” command, it is worth choosing a hard product.
In addition, the size of the toy plays an important role.
Make sure the ball is small enough to fit into your dog's mouth, but not too big to prevent the risk of swallowing.
If we are talking about small breed dogs, pay attention to balls with a diameter of about 65 mm, and 100 mm for a large dog.
