That is an unsolicited overview with no affiliate hyperlinks. I bought two balls from this firm and Lewis and I each suppose they’re nice.Shoutout to an organization with an excellent product and customer support.
I’m at all times searching for sturdy, throwable tug toys for Lewis. I feel I noticed an advert for these, or maybe a pal shared them. In any case, the toys at Foam Canine Balls appeared excellent.
They’ve two sizes of balls and a exceptional number of colour combos (12 ball colours and 4 strap colours you can combine and match). The bigger dimension is 3.25 inches in diameter and the smaller is 2.75 inches. I consider they’re engaged on a good smaller one as properly. I selected a colour combo that handed the “canine imaginative and prescient” check and likewise appeared like it might look good with Mr. Photogenic.
Sadly, I guessed the improper dimension, and the massive ones I ordered have been too huge for Lewis. I emailed their customer support and received a immediate e mail response from an precise individual (thanks Greg!) with a return authorization quantity. After I despatched the balls again, I received an e mail saying that moderately than issuing a refund and requiring one other buy, they’d simply ship me the smaller dimension (similar value). They did this though it had been my mistake. This saved me the second delivery prices. It made an enormous distinction to me as a result of I had been waffling concerning the trouble of sending them again. I’m so glad I did!
I additionally like their web site. Skilled, however not glitzy or manipulative. And a miracle: no popups or different annoyances. These traits say to me, “Hey, we’ve a great product and are assured about it. Have a look.”
The Balls
Lewis clearly likes the texture of them. The load of the ball is excellent, and with the lengthy strap, I really needed to be cautious to not overthrow it (into my neighbor’s yard). Very totally different from his Jolly Ball, one other favourite however awkward for me to toss. These really feel nice to throw; the steadiness is ideal for me. I’m late to the BioThane® occasion however oh my, do I really like the strap!
For individuals who play with their canines in and round water—the balls float like bobbers!
I purchased two as a result of for a very long time I’ve wanted two an identical throwables to get one again. However Fetching Boy wanted just one. He thinks it’s value it to carry issues again to me, which makes me really feel heat and completely satisfied. When you have got mutts, it’s the holy grail to get a fetcher, and I find it irresistible that my canine thinks I’m enjoyable!
Product Comparability
I’ve numerous sorts of this model of toy. I used to purchase the KONG Squeakair balls on a rope for Zani. They’re cheaper, however very mild weight with nylon ropes that I by no means wish to contact once more after the BioThane® straps on Foam Canine Balls. The KONG balls are additionally pretty simple to tear and might be pulled off the rope. I’ve a few heavier plastic balls on braided handles (as on this header picture). Lewis and I each like them, however one time I threw one and hit him within the eye with the ball finish and it clearly harm! They’re heavy and pretty arduous rubber or plastic. I’ve but extra balls and different toys on ropes however Foam Canine Balls hit the Goldilocks spot.
Security
The corporate warns, appropriately, that their balls aren’t chew toys. I may inform that Lewis and Clara have been each able to chew them up, given an opportunity. So these go within the “for taking part in with a human solely” field. I admire the corporate’s transparency. I not too long ago received ripped off by yet one more firm that marketed that their toy was for “tremendous chewers” however was instantly destroyed.
Lewis’ Evaluate
I’ll let Lewis present you his response. These clips are from his very first session with the froth ball.
Critique
My purpose is at all times to present a real evaluation of the professionals and cons of things I write about. However there’s little to criticize right here.
I considered one small factor, but it surely’s a matter of style. The packaging is glossy and pricy trying, with a sturdy plastic zipper bag (additionally BioThane® perhaps?) for every toy. They’re spending some cash on it. The zipper baggage are good sufficient that you simply hate to throw them away, however I don’t want particular person plastic pouches for canine toys. However perhaps they’re excellent for some individuals. I’ll use them for one thing else. And I’ve to confess, opening the brightly coloured mailer and taking out these glossy baggage was enjoyable. The balls, at $16–20 every (relying on occasional reductions), are priced simply effective, contemplating the standard.
Abstract
It is a properly designed toy that’s a pleasure for each members of the staff. Pretty for me to deal with and throw, and Lewis mainly needs to maintain it in his mouth endlessly, with quick breaks to chase it.
Thumbs and paws up!
