Calm Clean Companion Glow Chew Ball

A hollow rubber ball with holes cut through it. It lights up from the inside and makes a sound as it moves, and the open structure means a dog can actually get a grip on it — which is the difference between a ball they carry around and a ball that sits in the basket.

The reason to own one is dark evenings. A ball you can see is a ball you can throw in November, and it is far easier to find in long grass than a black one.

What you get

• Internal light, visible across a dark garden
• Makes a sound as it rolls
• Open-hole rubber body — easy to grip, easy to pick up, bounces unpredictably
• Two sizes, two colours

Sizing

Small is 4.5 cm — small breeds and puppies. Large is 7 cm — medium and large dogs. Choose the size your dog cannot fit fully into its mouth.

Honest limits

It is chew-resistant, not indestructible. A dedicated power chewer will eventually get through the rubber, and once the body is breached the light is finished. It is a fetch and carry toy, not an unsupervised chew.
