Highlighted Reviews

— Greg 7 found helpful

"Packaging came with instructions. After setup, took doggo out at night for some fetch. He took right to the LED ball and found it easier than the chuckit ball during daylight hours. No complaints at this point. This is going to save us during the winter months with less daylight."

— Ejectit

"This is a terrible ball do not buy it. Half the time the blue section, that has the lights, will eject from the orange part on impact. The other half the lights shut off on impact. You will spend a good amount of time looking for half the ball because it came apart on impact."

Bottom Line

Avoid this product unless you're OK with a high likelihood of it not working or breaking quickly. There are better options available for interactive dog toys.
