Our verdict

The Glitter Ball is our pick for a soft, floating fetch ball for a puppy, a senior dog or a gentle to moderate chewer. It is a 2.5 inch ball, the standard tennis ball size, made from ultra-soft PUP-X rubber that SodaPup describes as gentle on teeth and gums. It floats, has a hollow design you can fill with kibble, and fits most ball launchers. It comes in blue, pink, green and glow in the dark. SodaPup says it is not recommended for aggressive chewers.

Why we like it

  • A soft ball that floats, for pool, lake and beach fetch.
  • A hollow design lets you add kibble for a short enrichment game.
  • A standard size fits most ball launchers.

Keep in mind

SodaPup says this soft ball is not recommended for aggressive chewers. A strong chewer can tear a soft rubber ball, so choose a nylon chew for them. Supervise play and replace the ball if it is damaged.

Who it’s for

Puppies, senior dogs and gentle to moderate chewers, mainly small to medium dogs (15 to 55 lb), according to SodaPup. Larger dogs can use it with supervision. Not for aggressive chewers.

A fetch ball for soft mouths

Many fetch balls are hard on a puppy's baby teeth or a senior dog's gums. SodaPup makes the Glitter Ball from ultra-soft rubber with a bubblegum-like texture, so it suits dogs who need a gentler ball.

Floating, filling and launching

The ball floats, so it works for water retrieval. A hollow design lets you fill it with kibble for a short treat game, and its 2.5 inch diameter fits most ball launchers. The glow in the dark option helps with evening play.

Know when to choose something tougher

SodaPup is clear that this ball is for gentle to moderate chewers. If your dog bites through tennis balls, choose a nylon chew for solo chewing and use the Glitter Ball only for supervised fetch.
