Why we picked it
The Ultra Ball is rubber, not felt. It bounces higher than a tennis ball, it floats, and it does not shred into fuzz a dog can swallow. The 2.5-inch medium size fits the Chuckit launcher, so you can throw far without bending down, and the 2-pack means one can be lost in the lake while the game continues.
We picked it because it is the fetch ball people replace with the same ball. It suits dogs of 20 to 60 pounds, per Chuckit, and it works at the park, in the pool and in the yard.
The honest catch: it is not a chew toy. A dog that lies down and gnaws will eventually work through rubber. And sizing matters: a 2.5-inch ball is too small for a very large dog with a wide jaw. Supervise, and check the size guidance.
