Jolly Pets 404 BL Heavy Duty Dog Ball with Handle, 4 inches/Petite, Blue, small breeds

This dog ball with handle is designed for gripping, carrying and tossing, and the handle can also be used when you play fetch. The blue ball measures 4 inches/Petite and is the smallest size in the range, and the maker lists small breeds as the intended users. It is made from fabric/fleece and weighs 136 g.

What the ball and handle do

The ball has a handle attached so you can grip it, carry it or throw it. The handle also gives you something to hold when you play fetch, letting your dog chase the ball while you keep hold of the handle end. A chamber inside the ball can be stuffed with a treat. The fleece fabric gives the ball a soft surface, and the squeaker sounds when the ball is compressed.

The ball itself measures 12.7 x 10.2 x 10.2 cm (5 x 4 x 4 inches) including the handle, and the round body is about 4 inches across. It is blue, unscented, and travels as a single ball.

How to use this dog ball

Supervise your dog while it plays with the toy. Remove all packaging first and dispose of it properly. If any part of the ball becomes loose, detached or destroyed, take the ball away and discard it right away. Loose pieces from the toy pose a choking risk to pets and children.

Checks to make before you buy

This ball is 4 inches/Petite, so check that your dog's mouth can comfortably grip a ball of that size. The maker lists small breeds as the target user, so a larger dog may find the 4-inch ball too small for its mouth. The ball comes with a squeaker and a treat chamber, both of which are small parts if they come loose, so keep the ball out of reach of children and check it for loose pieces before each play session.
