EVA foam dog ball – hollow, floating chew and training toy

Why dogs love this ball

As a hollow dog training ball, it’s built for fetch, chew, and reward-based training sessions, not just casual play.

• Lightweight build – At just 0.045–0.100 kg depending on size, it’s easy for your dog to pick up, carry, and fetch without extra strain on their jaw.
• Center hole design – As a dog ball with a center hole, the hollow core adds extra bounce, giving fetch and catch games some fun unpredictability.
• Water-resistant and floats – Take it to the pool, lake, or backyard sprinkler; the EVA foam construction floats instead of sinking or soaking through.
• No batteries or electronics – It’s a simple toy with nothing to charge, replace, or break down over time.
• Free of flagged chemicals – The listing doesn’t identify any high-concern chemicals in the material, so it’s a straightforward pick if you’re selective about what your dog chews on.
• Compact size – Small enough to toss in a bag or pocket for walks, trips, or park visits.

What size ball is right for your dog’s breed?

Size comes down to your dog’s weight and how hard they play.

7cm ball for small to medium breeds

• Diameter: 7 cm (about 2.75 inches)
• Weight: about 0.045 kg
• Best for dogs around 10–25 kg (22–55 lbs)
• Good fit for breeds like Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, French Bulldogs, Shetland Sheepdogs, and smaller female Belgian Malinois

9cm ball for large to XL breeds

• Diameter: 9 cm (about 3.54 inches)
• Weight: about 0.100 kg
• Best for dogs around 25–45+ kg (55–100+ lbs)
• Good fit for breeds like German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Cane Corsos, and larger Belgian Malinois

If you’ve got a large breed dog, the 9 cm ball is the large breed EVA dog ball option, sized for stronger jaws and bigger mouths. If your dog is a strong, high-drive fetcher or sits right around the 55-pound mark, sizing up to the 9 cm ball is the safer bet.

Is EVA foam safe for dogs to chew?

As a material, EVA foam is generally considered non-toxic and is commonly used in pet toys, though—like most chew toys—it’s meant for supervised play rather than constant, unsupervised chewing. It’s also softer than hard plastic or dense rubber, so it tends to be gentler on your dog’s teeth and gums during normal bite-and-carry play. If your dog is a powerful or aggressive chewer, keep an eye on the ball and retire it if it starts to break down.
