Sweetie Ball

Sweetie Ball

The Sweetie ball is a real treat for dogs: the heady scent of genuine leather and wool combined with the treat pocket inside makes this a highly attractive reward.

The Sweetie is perfect for food-driven dogs who also like to play and chase their reward. The leather lends a nice weight to the ball, making it easy to throw it where you want it, using the handle. The Sweetie opens up, revealing a pocket for treats in the middle. The inside lining is polyester and easy to wipe clean. The ball has a Velcro fastening: the more tightly you fasten it, the more your dog will have to work to open the Sweetie and get the treats out – but also the more firmly the pocket will stay closed when you throw it or your dog plays with it. The protective binding on the edges of the ball is made of soft polyester to ensure a nice mouth feel.

Sweetie Ball is stuffed with sheep’s wool from a local sheep farm. The wool stuffing is wool top, meaning wool that has been scoured and brushed. Wool makes the ball a light and soft toy. The toy includes a squeaker to make it even more fun. The ball is not overstuffed and hard, it is also nice for the dog to bite and chew on.

The Sweetie balls are handmade in Finland using genuine leather recovered from a local furniture factory. Nothing is wasted: the toys are designed to make the best possible use of the leftover leather. All the leather used is EU REACH certified, which means that the leather is toxin-free and that no hazardous substances have been used in processing it.

Ball size: ca. 10 x 10 cm

Intended Use

Never leave your dog unattended with a toy. Genuine leather and sheep’s wool are materials that can tempt dogs to start ripping a toy apart and swallowing the pieces, which should be avoided. This toy is intended only for playing together with your dog. It is not recommend getting the toy wet, for example, or playing with it in freezing temperatures because wet leather hardens, and that can decrease the toy’s durability and shorten its lifespan. As a natural material, leather will best maintain its durability and softness when it is kept dry. So this toy may not be the best reward in very wet training conditions.

Please also note that if a wool-stuffed toy becomes wet, it may smell more strongly of wool.

For the best playing experience, please choose the right-sized toy for your dog. Sweetie Ball is recommended for puppies, small- & medium sized dogs.
