Tough Recycled Ball for Pet Playtime

greenpet — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 15:35:07 +0000

A tough ball that withstands chewing is a great toy for your pet. These ones float as well as bounce making them fun for water-loving dogs and owners too. They are made from a tough non-toxic material, that is in itself reclaimed from the manufacture of other Planet Dog products, reducing their wastage and making it a good eco-friendly choice. These balls are very durable but they are recyclable at the end of their lifespan, so that is one less thing for the landfill. Their motto ‘reduce, reuse, rewoof’ just about sums it up! In the mean time you can have lots of great playtime with your dog.

If your kids get furious with your dog every time he runs off with the soccer ball and punctures it, then it’s about time he got his own. This Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff soccer ball lives up to its name and is tough enough for dogs to lick, chew and pounce on without too much damage. It has a 1 inch hole at one end to make it easy to grab hold of and when squashed just pops back into shape again. You can even pop dog treats inside for an even more fun game.

If your dog does eventually manage to destroy it, the ball is recyclable, so it scores on the eco-friendly side too. The ball can be popped in the freezer in summer to help keep your dog cool at play time and it has a minty taste which appeals to most dogs.
