Chuckit! Air Fetch Ball 2-Pack
Fetch sessions that actually last. The Chuckit! Air Fetch Ball is built around a simple idea: if your dog can breathe better while running, they can play longer. Two balls per pack, both ready to go wherever the adventure takes you — backyard, beach, or the local park. 🐾
Most fetch balls get dropped because the dog gets puffed — not because they've lost interest. The Chuckit! Air Fetch Ball solves that with a patented hollow, mesh-like TPR rubber design that stays open around your dog's mouth while they carry it, promoting airflow into their lungs as they run. Less panting, more fetching.
Compared to a standard tennis ball, the Air Fetch Ball sits slightly smaller (5 cm diameter for the small & 6.4 cm diameter for the medium) but punches above its weight in performance. It's lightweight and easy for dogs to grab, bounces well on grass and hard surfaces, and floats — so it's just as at home in a river, at the bach, or at the beach as it is on the back lawn.
The open lattice design has another trick up its sleeve: stuff it with small treats and it doubles as a reward toy, keeping your dog engaged and mentally stimulated between throws.
This 2-pack version gives you a spare on hand — always handy when one ends up in the neighbour's garden — and both balls are fully compatible with all Chuckit! launcher sizes, so if you've already got a launcher in the cupboard, you're good to go.
Available in small, medium, large, and X-large to suit dogs of all breeds and sizes. Choose a size where the ball cannot fit entirely inside your dog's mouth.

FAQ's
Q: What is the Chuckit! Air Fetch Ball made from?
A: The Chuckit! Air Fetch Ball is made from durable thermoplastic rubber (TPR). The hollow, open-lattice construction is what gives it the breathability feature — there's no inner material or foam, just the structural mesh that allows airflow around your dog's mouth and snout while they're running with the ball.
Q: How does the Chuckit! Air Fetch Ball help dogs breathe better during fetch?
A: Unlike a solid ball that covers your dog's snout completely, the Air Fetch Ball's open mesh design allows air to flow through and around the ball while your dog carries it. This means their breathing is less restricted during play, reducing fatigue so they can run further and fetch for longer.
Q: Does the Chuckit! Air Fetch Ball float in water?
A: Yes — the Air Fetch Ball floats, making it great for water-based play. It works well at the beach, in a pool, or retrieving from streams and rivers. The buoyant TPR construction means it stays visible and accessible on the surface.
Q: What size Chuckit! Air Fetch Ball is right for my dog?
A: The medium (6.4 cm diameter) suits dogs between approximately 9–27 kg. The rule of thumb: choose a size where the ball cannot fit entirely inside your dog's mouth. Chuckit! produces the Air Fetch Ball in small, medium, large, and X-large to cover all breeds from small terriers to large working dogs.
Q: Can I use the Chuckit! Air Fetch Ball with a ball launcher?
A: Yes — the Air Fetch Ball is compatible with all Chuckit! ball launchers. Pair the medium balls with Classic, Pro, or Sport Chuckit! launchers. Using a launcher extends throw distance significantly, which means more exercise for your dog without extra effort from you.
Q: Can the Air Fetch Ball be used as a treat toy?
A: Yes. The openings in the mesh design are large enough to insert small treats. This makes it useful as a basic enrichment toy or a reward during training — your dog has to work the ball around to get the treats out.

Care & Safety Note
Hand wash with warm water after use — the Air Fetch Ball is not dishwasher safe. Inspect both balls regularly for rips, tears, or damaged mesh and replace if any signs of deterioration appear. Always supervise play until you're confident your dog won't attempt to destroy or ingest the toy. Choose the correct size: the ball should never fit completely inside your dog's mouth. Not recommended for very aggressive chewers. Keep out of reach of dogs when not in use.
