Ancol Playtime Chase Tough Rubber Ball – Durable Fetch Ball for Active Dogs

Ancol Playtime Chase Tough Rubber Ball – 8cm

An 8cm ball moulded from strong natural rubber, made for the dogs that flatten a tennis ball in an afternoon. The rubber has enough give to be comfortable in the mouth and enough body to survive being carried and chewed rather than only thrown, and at 8cm it is large enough that a big dog cannot get it behind the canines.

Ancol finish it in bold, bright colours, which sounds like packaging talk until you have spent ten minutes hunting a dark ball in long grass. On a mown field or a beach it is easy to track in the air and easy to find where it lands.

Performance & Benefits

• 8cm diameter, sized by Ancol for medium to large dogs.
• Moulded from strong natural rubber, for dogs with powerful jaws.
• Bold, bright colours, so it is easy to spot indoors, in grass and on sand.
• Stands up to carrying and chewing as well as throwing.
• Rubber gives against the teeth rather than jarring like hard plastic.

Suitable For

• Medium and large dogs that chase and retrieve.
• Determined chewers that destroy felt tennis balls.
• Everyday fetch in the garden, the park or on the beach.
• Owners who want one ball to last a season rather than a week.
• Too large for toy breeds, small dogs and puppies — the Ancol Tough Glow Ball at 7cm is the closer fit for a small mouth.

How to Use

• Throw or roll for retrieve. It suits hand throwing rather than a launcher.
• Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use and allow to air dry fully before storing.
• Take it in between sessions rather than leaving it out as a lie-down chew.

Care & Caution

• An interactive toy, not indestructible. Always supervise play.
• Inspect the ball for splits and chunks taken out of it, and replace it once it is damaged.
• Ball size must match the dog. A ball small enough to sit behind the back teeth is a choking hazard.
• Not a food item. Discard any pieces a dog chews off.
