Retire the tennis ball

Tennis ball felt is an abrasive. It sands down a dog's teeth, holds grit and slobber, waterlogs in a puddle and splits open within days. It was built for a racquet, not a mouth. Trooper is smooth natural rubber made for the job.

  • No abrasive felt to wear teeth down
  • Nothing to split open and swallow
  • Built to last, not to be replaced weekly

Never the same bounce twice

Raised StimBounce nubs break the surface of the ball, so it never lands the same way. Every throw sends it off at an angle neither of you saw coming, which turns a straight line of fetch into a chase your dog has to think about.

  • Unpredictable bounce on every throw
  • Nubs work the gumline on every chew
  • Dense natural rubber, built to be bitten

Nine o'clock fetch is back on

Trooper charges in daylight and gives it back after dark. No batteries, no clip on lights, nothing to lose in the grass. You throw, they find it, and the last walk of the day stops being a walk in a circle.

  • Charges in daylight, glows after dark
  • Easy to spot in long grass and low light
  • Colour runs through the rubber, so it cannot wear off

Squeaks for the bite. Not the bump

Most squeakers go off when the ball hits the floor, then get torn out by the afternoon. Trooper's squeak only fires under real bite pressure, and it is built into the structure of the ball, so there is no loose squeaker to rip out and swallow.

  • Fires on the bite, not the bounce or the drop
  • Randomised, so not every chew pays off
  • Nothing loose inside to remove

Floats. Every time

Push it under and it comes straight back up. The Aqua Float core means the lake, the pool and the bath are all still fetch, and the ball never becomes the thing you are wading in to find.

  • Sits high on the water, easy to spot
  • Sealed core, so it never waterlogs
  • Rinses clean and is dishwasher safe

Mika can't get enough of this. I've not seen her with another ball or toy like this.

Bruce loves two things: when I cook pasta (I give him a few noodles) and Trooper. This thing has outlasted all the other toys and is his first choice to grab. I highly recommend.

Questions, answered

When will my order ship?

Pre orders ship in around 8 weeks. You'll get a tracking email the moment it leaves the warehouse.

Is the price really going up?

Yes. This is the Kickstarter pricing extended for pre order. When this tier closes, Trooper moves to retail pricing.

Can my dog get the squeaker out?

There is no loose squeaker to remove. The squeak is built into the ball's structure and only sounds when your dog bites at the right angle and pressure.

Is it safe for heavy chewers?

Trooper is dense natural rubber built to be bitten. No dog toy is indestructible, and every dog should be supervised with any toy. If your dog is a power chewer, take the 3 inch.

Can I mix colours and sizes in a pack?

Yes. Three Amigos and The Pack can be any mix of blue and yellow, 2 inch and 3 inch.

Where do you ship?

Anywhere in the world. Orders over $75 ship free.
