Fetch, Tug & Outdoor Play
Some dogs live for the chase. These fetch toys cover three kinds of game: the bounce, the water and the throw that ends in tug.
The Solid Rubber Fetch Ball (2, 2.8 or 3.1 in, in red) is solid all the way through, so it has some weight when you throw it, and it bounces. The Floating Foam Fetch Ball (2.8 or 3.5 in) is a light foam ball designed to float, for days by the water. With the Ball on a Rope Fetch & Tug Toy, you swing it by the rope for extra distance, and it turns into a tug toy when your dog brings it back. Prices start at $12.99.
Sizing matters most. Pick a ball your dog can't fit entirely in their mouth, and if you're between sizes, go bigger. Fetch toys are for playing together, so supervise, put the ball away when the game's over, and always stay with your dog around water.

What size ball should I get for my dog?
Choose a ball that can't fit entirely inside your dog's mouth. If you're unsure between two sizes, go bigger. The Solid Rubber Fetch Ball comes in 2, 2.8 and 3.1 inches, and the Floating Foam Fetch Ball in 2.8 and 3.5 inches. The Ball on a Rope comes with a 2 in ball, a 2.4 in ball or a large ball. Our Size and Chew Guide has more sizing tips.
Can my dog chew on a fetch ball?
Keep fetch balls for games you play together, not long chew sessions. No ball is chew-proof, and foam in particular is for fetch, not chewing. Check the ball after each game, put it away afterward, and replace it if it gets damaged.
Which fetch toys float?
The Floating Foam Fetch Ball is the one designed to float, so it's the one to bring to the pool or lake. The Solid Rubber Fetch Ball and the Ball on a Rope aren't listed as floating, so don't count on them in the water. Always stay with your dog around water.
Why use a ball on a rope?
Swinging it by the rope gives you extra distance on the throw and keeps your hands a little farther from the drool. Once your dog brings it back, it doubles as a tug toy. Use it for games you play together, tug gently with puppies, check the rope for fraying, and replace the toy if it gets damaged.
