Dog Soccer Ball or Push Ball? Check the Intended Use

A dog soccer ball and a push ball can look similar in a search result, but they are built for different games. Check the toy's construction and intended use before choosing.

Inflatable soccer ball for fetch together

The Mad Pet dog football is an inflatable ball with nylon grab tabs. It is made for supervised fetch and shared interactive play. The ball measures approximately 15 cm across, or 18.5 cm including the tabs.

Hard-plastic push ball for pushing games

As a contrasting example, the manufacturer describes the Jolly Pets Push-n-Play as a hard-plastic ball for chase and pushing play. Check that product's own size and instructions if pushing is the game you want.

Which game are you shopping for?

For shared fetch, start with an inflatable football's size and package options. For a pushing game, look at a purpose-made push ball. For chewing, choose a toy sold for that use instead; an inflatable football can puncture if bitten.
