About the Chase Ball

How does it move on its own?

There's a small motor inside. Tap it and it starts rolling. Every time it bumps into a wall or a piece of furniture, it changes direction, so your pet can't predict where it's going next.

What size pet is it for?

Small and medium dogs, and cats. The ball is about 2.2 in (5.6 cm) across. That's too small to be a safe toy for large dogs, who could swallow it.

Is it a chew toy?

No. It's built for chasing, not chewing. The silicone shell handles normal play, but strong chewers can damage any toy with electronics inside. Supervise play, and put the ball away when chase time is over. If the shell gets cracked or torn, stop using it and email us.

Does it work on carpet?

It runs best on hard floors and low rugs. Thick, shaggy carpet slows it down.

How do I charge it, and how long does a charge last?

It charges with the included USB-C cable. It pauses on its own when your pet stops playing, which saves battery. Run time depends on how much your pet plays, so we don't promise a fixed number of hours.

Will my dog actually like it?

Most dogs who love to chase go for it, but every dog is different. If yours isn't into it, our 30-day guarantee covers you.

Do I have to send it back?

How long do refunds take?

Once approved, the refund goes back to your original payment method. Your bank may take 5–10 business days to post it.
