IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR DOG OWNERS - BALL PLAY SAFETY. Balls are a great toy for interactive play for your dog. Not a chew toy. The ball is designed for throwing to chase and not intended for catching directly. Once playtime is over, remove the ball from your dog. Please ensure this toy is suitable for your pet's preferences, chewing habits and size, remembering that no toy is completely indestructible. Always supervise your pet during play, and regularly check your pet's toys, removing and replacing them if damaged or if parts become detached and could be a choking hazard, and seek immediate veterinary attention if any material is ingested.
- Always ensure the ball is large enough for your dog to carry without the risk of accidental swallowing, but small enough to hold comfortably
- Always consider your dog’s jaw shape and size
- Always supervise your dog when playing with a ball
- Safely remove wet and slobbery toys and leave to dry until the next playtime, to avoid accidental swallowing
- Regularly check that your pet’s toys are in good condition, and throw away any old and damaged items that may cause accidental choking incidents
- For toys with squeakers inside, it’s advised you regularly check there are no clear tears in the fabric of the toy that may lead to your dog accidentally swallowing the squeaker
- Never throw the ball directly at your dog to catch, instead throw away for them to chase and retrieve
