How do fetch balls differ from chew-friendly balls?
Fetch balls are usually lighter and made for a lively bounce and easy carrying, which keeps chase-and-retrieve games engaging. Chew-friendly balls use thicker, sturdier materials that focus on durability and comfort for teeth and jaws during longer chewing sessions. Matching the ball to your dog's style helps the toy last longer and supports safer, more satisfying play.
What is the best way to clean and maintain dog ball toys?
Smooth, nonporous balls typically rinse clean or wipe down quickly, while textured or fabric-covered balls may need a mild soap wash and more thorough drying. After cleaning, inspect for cracks, loose seams, or trapped water, and rotate toys so they dry fully between play sessions. Regular cleaning and quick checks help maintain bounce and grip over time and support safer play.
