Chuckit! Dog Toy Air Fetch Dog Ball, Durable Rubber Interactive Toy Balls for Dogs for Boredom, Launcher Thrower Compatible, Extra Large, 1 Pack

In response to all the reviews criticising this product for being too easily destroyed… As the name suggests, the purpose of this product is not to be an indestructible chew toy, it is designed to allow unrestricted breathing during play. For this reason, this ball is amazing. There are many other balls in the Catchit! range for incorrigible chewers, for example, the Ultra or Rugged models. The Breath Easy ball is particularly ideal for brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds, such as pugs, Frenchies, Boston Terriers, Boxers and Bulldogs. Their short snouts can make them prone to breathing issues. Playing fetch with a solid ball, like a tennis or Ultra Catchit! ball can exacerbate breathing conditions. They can’t get enough air in through their noses, when they’re exerting themselves and their mouths are full, causing some to overheat, vomit, or even have seizures. My Boston Terriers are both ball-obsessed. While they don’t have particularly short snouts or suffer from any medical conditions, we have to take solid balls away from them after a while, as their breathing starts to sound like a couple of runaway steam trains! The Breath Easy Catchit! balls are lightweight because they are hollow with a soft, cut out, squidgy rubber exterior. They are good quality, have excellent bounce:weight ratio, can be used with ball launchers, are easy to throw, find and clean, and best of all they allow your dog to breath freely while carrying it. Ours love them so much we’ve recently invested in a few more, both small and medium sized, with small and medium Catchit! launchers to extend the range of distances we are able to achieve. Although the range isn’t cheap, it’s not too expensive either. I feel it still represents good value for money as all the products we’ve had are hard-wearing, long-lasting, and made with good quality materials. You get what you pay for. If your dog is an avid chewer, give them suitable chew toys to satisfy that need. Keep the Breath Easy ball for when you are actively engaging with your dog (we play a lot of fetch, or hide and seek with ours). Put it away when you’re finished and this ball will not only last, but will become a firm favourite. Over the years we’ve owned pretty much every kind of Chuckit! ball, and we’ve not had to discard a worn out one yet, but we have lost a fair few! I can highly recommend Chuckit! products in general and the Breath Easy ball in particular.

I’ve been using this ball with my dog for a few years now and overall I’m really impressed. It’s incredibly light, which makes it easy to throw and much gentler when caught. Unlike some other balls, it doesn’t bounce too high — a big plus for my 8yo boxer dog where I'm cautious of joint issues, as it keeps the playtime active but low-impact. One of the best features is the open, breathable design. My dog has no trouble breathing while carrying it around, even when he's a bit overexcited during play. It’s also compatible with our Chuckit launcher which is handy. Bear in mind you won't be able to throw it far because it's hollow. Durability-wise, it's held up well with normal fetch sessions, but I did notice that if my dog starts pulling at it or playing rough tug games, the material can tear. So I’d recommend it for supervised play rather than as a chew toy. All in all, a great option if you’re looking for a lightweight, joint-friendly ball that’s safe and easy for your dog to carry around. Just don’t let them use it as a chew toy!

My dogs love this ball, my French bulldog can play with this and not experience any breathing issues during play. It’s a nice size for her as well.

Destructible but great for my cocker who loves to carry a ball and I worry with tennis balls. At least with this she can breathe!! Small enough for my cocker. It floats too !!

We have a tiny dog and he absolutely loves this ball. We bought the medium size and because of the holes he is able to pick it up easily. It’s robust and I’m sure it will last a long time. However, if you have a larger breed or a heavy chewer, I would advise one of the more solid balls but you can’t really go wrong with the Chuckit brand.

Dogs love them 👍 perfect for our French Bulldogs

Very poor and very disappointing. Purchased these for my border collie who has no teeth in fear that a normal ball gets stuck in his throat. Purchased two of these and within 5 minutes both of them have been torn and pulled apart. Very disappointed with the balls that they can be so easily broken by a dog with no teeth.

Ok pricey but my medium labradoodle loves them and they won’t wear her tooth enamel down like tennis balls do (vets hate them). She can breather through the. And once you learn to kick them from hand you don’t need the checker. Always have a spare

Ik heb deze ballen gekocht samen met de Chuckit werpstok. De reden dat ik juist voor deze heb gekozen, ligt in het feit dat er een risico is dat een massieve bal het keelgat van de hond zou kunnen verstoppen. Bij deze air-versie is altijd ademen mogelijk. Als de hond rent met de bal, kan hij makkelijker ademen (tenminste naar onze mening). Aanrader.

Resistente, porém bem macio para não machucar os dentes e pula bastante. Meu filhote amou!!

My dogs, all sizes, have used this product for years. The lattice-like structure makes it easy to carry as they have lots of gripping surfaces. However this is not for heavy chewers, it’s a ball, not a chew toy.

Avec une fonction retour ce serait encore mieux... Mon chien les aime !

Pup loves it
