Chuckit! Breathe Right Ball

Run Further, Fetch Longer 

Chuckit! have been my favourite dog ball brand for a long time now. Not only are they really bouncy and lots of fun, they are really strong and durable too. Even with our Mastiff and Bull Terrier being strong chewers, our current collection of Ultra Balls have lasted years and are still good as new. 

Note: no toy is totally indestructible, our dogs only have supervised ball play and aren't left to just chomp on them for long periods of time.

This month Podgy Paws very kindly gave us a Breathe Right ball to review so here we are and I honestly cannot fault it..

As with most of the Chuckit ball range, there are 4 different sizes to choose from. Choosing the right sized ball (or any toy) for your dog is so important for their safety. Again, we only advise supervised play but dogs can very easily choke on a ball that is too small for them, especially if playing fetch, catching or running. A ball that's too big could also be a struggle for your dog so having different size options is great.

That being said, if the worst was to happen, the Breathe Right ball is designed to allow airflow which acts as a safety feature as well as being very practical for active pets. The Breathe Right is a high performance ball designed to facilitate breathing and airflow in to the dog's lungs whilst running and fetching. Therefore, this is going to be a firm favourite for us during the hotter Summer months especially and has already proved to be a great reward for Noddy at his Hoopers and Agility training. In our experience the Breathe Right ball also floats on water which is very useful if your dog, like Noddy, likes to make a big splash and it also means this ball is great for incentive to swim during hydrotherapy (which Noddy does for fun & fitness).

Although Noddy is a fairly small dog, approx 6kg, he has the Medium sized Chuckit balls which are the same size as standard tennis balls and fit in to most ball throwers (not that we recommend repetitive shuttle running but there's a subject for another time). The Small size is suitable for Toy breeds and very small puppies, the Large size would be suitable for Medium-Large breeds and the XL suitable for Large-Giant breeds. Chuckit also make launchers in different sizes to fit most of their ball types.

Just a few other Chuckit toys to check out:

• Breathe Right Fetch Stick
• Ultra Tug Toy
• Ultra Ball
• Ultra Ring

A huge thank you to Podgy Paws in Keswick for giving us such a fab toy, make sure you check out their shop or website to browse more awesome Chuckit products - a brand we 100% honestly recommend and have used for a long time. We're excited to try more of their ever-growing range, there's nothing from them so far that Noddy hasn't been totally obsessed with.
