Retractable-Rope Throwing Ball Dog Toy with Textured Bumps

This dog ball has a retractable rope inside it. Slip the soft round loop at the end of the rope over a finger, give your wrist a gentle flick and the ball flies out, then rebounds as the rope pulls it back. It turns a game of fetch into a quick back-and-forth you can play without walking to pick up the ball.

The hard plastic body is covered in raised bumps and molded points. Sets of softer ridges wrap around the middle of the ball for your dog to grip. Your dog can also pick the ball up and carry or chew it like any other toy. The ball weighs about 2.8 oz (78 g) and comes in blue or orange-and-yellow color blocks that are easy to spot in grass.

Wear the loop on the middle finger, as the instructions suggest, and throw with a gentle wrist motion rather than a full arm swing. Keep sessions short and in an open space, and take the ball away when your dog is chewing the rope. The rope is a pulling part, so stop using the toy if it frays. Always supervise play with a hard ball.
