Chuckit! Ultra Ball, Medium 2.5 inch, 2 Pack

A durable, floating fetch ball for medium dogs; supervise it rather than treating it as a chew.

The short version

Buy it if
  • Owners of medium dogs that love fetch
  • People who already own a medium Chuckit launcher
  • Dogs that swim or play near water
Skip it if
  • You want a toy your dog can chew on unattended
  • Your dog is large enough that a 2.5 inch ball could fit fully in its mouth

What owners like

  • Holds up for a long time, with one tester reporting little visible wear after two years
  • Bounces well without being hard to control
  • Floats and stays visible outdoors
  • Easy to rinse clean

Common complaints

  • Determined chewers can leave tooth marks or damage the surface
  • Wrong size for very small or giant dogs, which need a different size

What it does

Two orange and blue 2.5 inch rubber fetch balls that bounce high, float and fit medium Chuckit launchers.

  • High bounce rubber for lively fetch
  • Floats, so it works for pool and lake play
  • Bright orange and blue colors that are easy to spot in grass
  • No felt covering, so there is no fuzz to chew off and less dirt sticks to it
  • Textured surface that is easy for dogs to grip

A strong pick for fetch with dogs of roughly 20 to 60 lb, on land or in water, and editorial testers report little wear after long use. The trade-off is that it is a fetch ball rather than a chew toy, so determined chewers can still mark or damage it and play should be supervised.
